Not what I was expecting...

Posted by Megan on 1st May 2012

I ordered a sample of this based entirely on the description - I love all the notes listed, and the description of "dry, fresh, citrus" is exactly what I'm always looking for. I'd also heard very good things about the Tokyo Milk brand.

The actual perfume is not what I expected. At first whiff, the sample vial smells of generic fruity perfume, which was a bit underwhelming. On my skin, it smells quite cold and manly... I think it might be the combo of bergamot and moss. It does have GREAT lasting power (isn't that always the case with perfumes you'd don't love?). I sprayed once at about 11PM, and it was the first thing I woke up smelling at 8AM the next morning.

I feel like I should emphasize - it's not bad, not bad at all. Quite pleasant. It's just a little more toward the dude side of unisex; even my husband agreed that it didn't smell bad, just like I'd gotten into some cologne. I'm usually drawn to unisex scents, especially citrus; this one just wasn't the one for me. I look forward to trying other Tokyo Milk perfumes though - this one did seem high quality.
