“What fragrance are you carrying?” Until you look one thing like mannequin Jhona Burjack, you might pause earlier than answering: “Toy Boy.” I might most likely say: “Oh, I do not know…I simply grabbed one in every of my 200 bottles of cologne. I wasn’t paying consideration!”
I am going to word right here I notice ‘toy boy’ could conjure different sorts (for different tastes) than Burjack in leather-based gear. In response to dictionary.com, a toy boy is: a younger man famous for his beauty and sexual prowess, particularly one who maintains relationships with older, extra highly effective individuals.
Anyhow, I used to be drawn to Toy Boy due to the the bear bottle, not the pulchritude!
Moschino perfumes have (principally) been exhausting to seek out within the U.S. I used to be interested in perfumes launched when Franco Moschino was in cost. Utilizing Basenotes as a reference, it seems like Moschino (1987, for girls) and Moschino Pour Homme (1990) had been the one perfumes issued throughout Moschino’s lifetime (he died at age 44 in 1994). That leaves 23 perfumes he by no means smelled that bear his identify; that is my first expertise with the perfume line.
Toy Boy* begins with velvety (and fast-disappearing) bergamot and a gentle and weird (vaguely milky) accord of pear skins and elemi. A relatively stark scent seems in mid-development; like the remainder of the fragrance up to now, it is muted however smells of linseed oil. At this level, our Toy Boy is pampered and baby-like in physique scent — this boy bathes ceaselessly.
Then? ROSE! Toy Boy’s creamy “beauty” rose comes on sturdy; it floats off the pores and skin and creates a rosy cloud round me. Subsequent, gentle musk and pepper be a part of the rose to create one thing that smells extra edible/savory than lipstick-floral. Toy Boy is a wierd one…I nearly prefer it however the hand/model that made it was stingy (the funds guys and gals had been miserly). I used to be considering: if Frédéric Malle had made this, it may have been nice.
Moschino Toy Boy is out there in 30 ($56), 50 ($76) or 100 ($96) ml Eau de Parfum .
