Moschino
A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Granny Smith apple arrives with tart immediacy, its green astringency cutting across a bright, zesty mandarin. Magnolia emerges alongside, offering a faint floral sweetness that prevents the citric duo from becoming shrill—within two minutes, you're caught between crisp fruit and creamy white florality.
The apple recedes as jasmine becomes the dominant floral, maintaining an almost austere character rather than blooming into softness. White currant steps forward with cool, slightly tart sweetness, creating an intriguing tension—the fragrance feels more textured, less immediately obvious. Peony adds a powdery backdrop, grounding the composition around the ninety-minute mark.
Sandalwood and amberwood anchor the base, though with restraint—this isn't a woody fragrance suddenly revealing itself. Crystal musk diffuses the remaining fruit and floral notes into a soft, slightly powdery skin scent. What lingers is a gentle, androgynous warmth rather than presence, fading to near-imperceptibility by the fourth hour.
Toy 2 positions itself as a playful, almost mischievous take on fruity-floral composition—less concerned with romance and more preoccupied with immediate sensory pleasure. Alberto Morillas has engineered something deliberately synthetic at its core (64% synthetic accord), yet the opening salvo of Granny Smith apple and mandarin creates genuine citric brightness rather than artificial shrillness. The apple is particularly clever: tart and slightly green, it cuts through what could otherwise be saccharine territory.
The fragrance's personality emerges in the heart, where jasmine meets white currant in an unexpected partnership. Rather than the jasmine softening into creamy florality, it remains almost austere, while the white currant adds a cool, slightly jammy sweetness—think of preserves rather than ripe fruit. Peony drifts in around the edges, contributing a powdery whisper without overwhelming. This juxtaposition between the angular fruit notes and the softer florals creates a fragrance that feels youthful without being juvenile, feminine without surrendering edge.
