Those are used in different context entirely.

doux : nice to stroke (like a cat, a sweatshirt, etc). OR mild taste. OR sweet

mouelleux (or "mou") : soft texture, as in if you press it, it will dent it (like a cake, a couch)

doux = sweet,soft,pleasant,mild, gentle
moelleux = sweet, soft, spongy, creamy, mellow, smooth, fluffy

They are both similar.
