Moschino Toy2 Bubblegum Eau de Toilette 100ml

Product Information

I wish that the cap was transparent though, so that it would match; either that, or have the whole bottle covered in that opaque bubblegum pink. In any case, it’s still cute. :] But underneath the bubblegum are some more perfume-like notes, mainly a sweet, very on-trend rose, and some creamy white musks. Some other reviewers criticized that, but I'm actually glad this not purely a novelty bubblegum perfume. I will always be young enough at heart to enjoy a pink teddy bear shaped perfume bottle and I love gourmand scents, but also I like my fragrances to have some layers!

Moschino's Toy 2 Bubblegum opens with a strong, well-developed pink hubba bubba note that starts off as a very authentic bubblegum but turns boozey within 5 minutes. This boozeyness is unexpected and pleasant and reminds me of what Guerlain's L'Homme idéale extrême does in terms of gradation and smoothness - just that the notes in Moschino's fragrance are more playful and generally lighter. The longevity and aura for Toy 2: Bubblegum are very impressive for an edt formulation. The fragrance wears almost as long as a mid-point edp does; about eight to nine hours, and carries about a foot around me. The only negative comment I have about Toy 2 Bubblegum is that the lasting power is very weak. It doesn’t even last for an hour, which is a sham! If the lasting power were to have been stronger, I would obtain this again. I’ve never come across a perfume that reminded me of rose-hip / rose chai before, but hey! There’s a first time for everything. Yes, the initial blast is a fun, ridiculously accurate and realistic bubblegum (I think it's actually the candied fruit accord, like pure concentrated bubblegum flavoring), but this would be unbearable to smell on myself for more than a few minutes, so I was very glad when that settled down and the fragrance’s surprisingly chic and wearable heart revealed itself.

The opening is a realistic blast of pink bubblegum. Not just a touch of bubblegum like it is often found in white florals, but the exact, unmistakable tutti frutti smell of old-fashioned bubblegum.

It definitely has that gum ball / Bazooka gum vibe. This bit only lasts for about 10 - 15 minutes on my skin. Moschino's Toy 2 Bubblegum, despite it's awful name, is not bad at all. When I tried it out first I was sceptical of it, but then I ended up wanting the full bottle. It is a fragrance that is far more complex and interesting than it looks. While it appears to target girls and women in their teens and twens, in fact it works well on any gender - given your personality is right for it. As for the age-group, call me crazy, but I'd say that up to your fifties this scent might work. This is the stage in which Toy 2 Bubblegum remains the longest, until between hour 5 and 6 it becomes a skin scent. When I had to wash it off around hour 8, this fragrance was still present in form of a soft scent which I interpreted as a tonka/vanilla combo but which more likely was the ambroxan. I'm left fully content.Besides the pink bubblegum, I can't really identify all the individual notes. The overall vibe is sweet, unsurprisingly. I'd never guess there's cinnamon and ginger in the mix. It's not a heavy parfume, but I wouldn't call the dry-down fresh either. It starts out fresher than how it settles. Lasts a few hours on my skin, which I'm happy with.
