The heart echoes this contrast, as crisp white currant is offset with velvety peony and jasmine for a floral feminine edge

Moschino печели слава със своите игриви, креативни и цветни модни идеи, съпроводени с щипка хумор и провокация. И точно такива са парфюмите на Moschino. So let’s delve into this innocent-looking fragrance a bit deeper and find out what it’s really like behind its frosted exterior…Who remembers the original Moschino Toy bottle? A glass bottle encapsulated in a stuffed teddy bear which you had to lift the head off to access. Toy 2 is a sophisticated, elegant and classier version of this – but still preserves its Moschino playful twist and is often likened to a champagne flavoured gummy bear!

Soft notes of musk, sandalwood and amber woods provide a dreamy yet sophisticated dry down, capturing the essence of the original Toy fragrance but with a delicate nuance that’s universally pleasing, making this a perfect choice for a gift. It reminds me a lot of Diesel Loverdose Eau de Parfum. I think people who love that would really love this scent, too.”The note that features prominently in this fragrance is granny smith apple; combined with mandarin, it gives the fragrance an almost sweet and sour opening that’s mellowed by the inclusion of a soft magnolia note. I wouldn’t wear it myself but I know exactly who would; my best friend who wears Moschino Fresh Couture. She’d love this! I’d say it was definitely a day-scent, though, because it’s not overpowering.” Describe Toy 2 in more detail: “This is the first time I’ve smelt it and it’s not what I expected at all. I used to love the original Toy perfume from Moschino but this is quite different – it’s more floral and fresh but still playful and flirty so feels very in-line with Moschino’s previous offerings but with perhaps more of a sophisticated edge to appeal to a wider audience.” It has a soapy element to it that could make it perfect for everyday wear when you want to feel fresh and clean. We think it has elements of D&G’s Light Blue to it, with perhaps a little less citrus at the top, or even DKNY, Be Delicious.

I’m a big fan of Toy Boy that launched this year and, even though this isn’t the same because Toy Boy is a lot spicier and sensual, I love Toy 2 for different reasons. It feels really feminine and classically fresh – like a crisp white shirt.”Freshly washed laundry or that smell when you first get out of the shower. It actually smells a little like Pantene shampoo!” In this day and age, any fragrance can be unisex; we think that perfume should be bought for its smell and not for who it’s intended for. Marketed as a female fragrance, Toy 2 does have a heavy floral influence, however, it’s laundry-fresh dry down means that both men and women could enjoy wearing this. I’d imagine wearing this to work; it’s perfect for an important meeting when you want to feel put-together and confident but without being too overpowering – it has an approachable vibe to it.”
