Moschino Toy Boy Eau de Parfum

Moschino Toy Boy Eau de Parfum — Eau de Parfum, 100 ml. A rose worn confidently as a men's fragrance — spiced, woody and far more grown-up than the teddy-bear bottle suggests.

What Toy Boy smells like

Pink pepper, pear and nutmeg give a bright, faintly fruity opening, and then Toy Boy does the thing most designer masculines avoid: it puts rose front and centre. Clove and magnolia sit alongside it, so the floral heart reads spiced rather than sweet. Underneath, Haitian vetiver and cashmeran build a soft, slightly musky woodiness, with sandalwood and amber smoothing the finish. It is the most floral fragrance in this catalogue and the obvious pick for anyone bored of citrus-and-ambroxan.

Top notes are Pink Pepper, Pear, Indonesian Nutmeg, Elemi and Bergamot; the heart is Rose, Clove, Magnolia and Flax; the base settles on Haitian Vetiver, Cashmeran, Sandalwood, Amber and Sylkolide.

When to wear it

Versatile enough for the office and for dinner. It handles spring and autumn best; the rose can feel heavy at the peak of an Egyptian summer afternoon. It is at its best in spring and autumn, and still works well in winter.
