Couture! Moschino for women

This is the one that appropriate to the name. Smell luxury and diffrent from other perfume. In my country all I can smell is Be Delicious from DKNY. I don't get it. I'm looking for something special and this is the answer. Maybe it's about hot weather so it's perfect for a night or just 2 spray in the office. Of course very last long. Benzoin is the main characters. I will surprise if someone can tell what I'm wearing and my manager he likes it a lot. I recommend.

I like Moschino Couture, as it reminds me of 1985's Obsession by Calvin Klein in its base notes. When it first goes on, the bergamot and citrus are very present, then the black pepper and cedar come in shortly after. In the base is where the vanilla(not overly done) comes in, and that note, together with the middle notes mix nicely, reminding me heavily of the Klein classic. It's almost impossible to find in stores these days...seems it never caught on too good when it released...that's ok...I don't care to smell like everyone else , so with it being difficult to find makes it unique to smell.

It is a bit soapy, but could be a really nice fragrance if not for the overwhelming bergamot, pepper and benzoin. Strong and sour bergamot especially, this is what gives people headaches.

Stunning, unlike any other fragrances. An aura of indescribable comfort and pleasantness envelops me, which makes me take deep draughts of the fume. One that is getting hard to find now.

I got this today and boy am I disappointed. The bottle is gorgeous but the scent is not. It smells live Dove soap with tons of black pepper. I will be putting this up on ebay! Bummer!

Muito triste quando se ama um perfume e ele é descontinuado.Esse eu considero o perfume perfeito,perto da pele,atemporal.Mas infelizmente preciso deixar de ama-lo, por não achar,quando acho é muito caro,é triste.Quem não gostar pode me mandar que aceito rsrsrsrs O visit AZZARO é bem parecido,mas o couture é muito melhor.

I've had so high expectations after the wonderful reviews, almost bought a mini of this one unsniffed. Fortunately I've got a sample to try it out. It was a big disappointment, on my skin it became strong, harsh, sour and some hours later dirty-musky. (Is there no musk here? Really?) I love cedar in other scents but I didn't get it here. I think it must be only my skin chemistry and it's a good scent, on everyone else:(. Sillage and longevity are very good but in my case it was not so good thing. Pity...

I wanted to love this. I really did. I bought it blind based on the notes and reviews. Immediate headache. Maybe my skin is funky bc it came up as extremeley floral and almost powdery on me. I don't get pepper and I don't get fruit. It looks and sounds like it should be a perfume for all ages. It smells old, at least on me. So very sad. Up for swap...

Fascinating!

Wasn't expecting to like this, but it's one of those that I find complex and intriguing. So much that I keep sniffing to see what will happen next. In that regard, I find it unique like SJP Covet.

I find something green in here though..not sure what, like freshly chopped wood, shavings, or bark pulled fresh off the tree, maybe even pine cones and tree sap? Anyhow it's warm, spicy, green under the surface, and smoothe with hints of vanilla & florals. I think I could wear this all year round, too.

Two words: Synthetic cedar. I generally love the smoothness of a cedar note, but something in this doesn't sit quite well with me and I still cannot decide whether I genuinely like it or not. Especially the beginning smells largely synthetic to me, and not in an interesting way - luckily, it dries down nicer. I guess in the end my problem with this is similar to the one I'm having with Eau des Merveilles (see my review), only this time I like the fragrance better. There is no doubt some attraction, but are we a good match at all?

This perfume is very classy but stays young at heart so even a very young person could wear this. It could be worn casually or to a business meeting or even a special night out. Versatile I think is what I am trying to say. Even though it is a strong perfume it bothers very few people. It has a muskyness to it but not dirty or animalistic but interesting enough to please those who do like animalistic perfumes ie Palermo Picasso, Rochas Femme, CK Obsession etc. It is uplifting too. It smells classy and sweet in the way Ysatis does but doesn't get that dated vibe to it. I think they have done an excellent job with this one but it can be difficult to get well for me in Australia it doesn't seem to be as popular as Gucci, D&G and of course the celeb perfumes. I wear this and I like it but it just doesn't get me the way it does everyone else on this site. I wish it did but I could take it or leave it to be honest. It lasts very well and as people have said it is unique so you won't smell like everyone and it is classy it definitely doesn't smell cheap.

i definitely love this scent.It`s so rich and elegant. Good sillage and great staying power. What more can you ask from a fragrance? It`s a wow perfume that made students ask "what is it that amazing perfume that you are wearing'?

This was one blind buy that worked out really well - I love it! It's really hard to describe - spicy, peppery, tangy, yet warm and seductive. Great for evening wear. Reminds me a little of Must de Cartier and Le Baiser du Dragon in its spiciness, yet it's a bit warmer and less obvious than either.

I blind purchased based on the description and many positive reviews, and I do agree it is very lovely, but for me, with the rest of my collection to choose from, I found it maybe a little too light and polite, (plus a little Christmas-y, I guess due to the way the cedar blends with the other notes) so I gifted it to my cousin and she is CRAZY about it.

I saw a bottle of this in a store and remembered all the wonderful reviews here.
I have to say this one is original. I have never smelled anything like this one. It has this not sharp but citrusy/spicy thing going on with something nutty. It reminded me of tomatoleaf somehow. Almost unisex feeling. And under it something warm and soft. Very unique.
Not for me, but still interesting and nice.

Elegant, tantalising, refreshing, uplifting...these are all words that can be used to describe Moschino Couture. I am truly madly and deeply IN LOVE with this perfume! I NEVER get tired of it.

Couture opens with a mouthwatering citrusy-pepper kick, then melts into an equisite woodsy vanilla drydown, with a certain nutty scent. To me it conjures up images of strolling through a thick forrest just after a warm summer rainfall. The cedar note really stands out on my skin. Simply divine!

I feel extra confident when I wear Couture, and I feel like I have discovered a wonderful secret. Couture adds a touch of luxury into my everyday life...and never fails to make me feel special. I can't praise it highly enough!

Thankyou Moschino for this amazing creation, a masterpiece in my eyes.

I finally got this, and i have to tell yah, it SMELLS ADDCTING, FRESH, UNIQUE, HAPPINESS, ALIVE, SIMPLE, INNOCENT, NOT TOO GIRLY NOT TOO STRONG, NOT TOO LIGHT EITHER OR SWEET. NOT TOO FLORAL OR MUSKY. JUST BALANCED! IM INLOVE OMG! Moschino couture really is one of a kind perfume. I was so worried that i might not like it but i ended up liking it! I opened my locker one time at work and my co-coworkers was like, OMG WHAT IS THAT? SMELLS SO GOOD! this is going to be my signature scent!

I got so lucky today, I just finished my 100 ml bottle of Couture and a friend of mine that works at a perfumery just gave me 100 ml tester only sprayed a few times!! Oh I am so happy!! This fragrance is getting hard to find!!

I wish this perfume would play on my skin like it does for so many others.

First, I got a nice fizz of pepper and pomegranate, then it turned green on me. Not green and fresh like a spring meadow, but like the stems of dandelion weeds. Then it just became more and more bitter with an overload of yellow flowers. Poppies and peonies, really?

The dry down gave me a little reprieve with some warm woods and vanillas, but the bitter 'yellowness' never left me.

Very fresh and unique and lasting power is great--it's unfortunate that this lovely perfume happens to strike me the wrong way.

I purchased this perfume today after reading so many positive reviews about it and so far I'm loving it! The opening immediately reminded me of "Miracle" by Lancome, and when I compared the notes of both I found that they both have mandarin, pepper and jasmine listed.
It does indeed have a kind of "fizzy" smell. I've just applied it so not sure of the lasting power yet...I will update on that.

UPDATE: Really good lasting power on my skin. The most surprising thing though is how different the drydown is from the opening, it's simply exquisite. The topnotes, heart and base are like completely different perfumes! I'm loving this juice...very interesting.

Yellow flowers Camp?


I defintely get the pepper and orange notes. it's really nice and the staying power, is pretty good. Couture reminds me a lot of Cinema by Yves saint Laurent, because both fragrances are very vanilic. I will use my bottle up because I do like it, but I don't like it enough to repurchase.

I had a sample of Couture!, it was oh so good, warm, chic and glamorous, and everything I wanted. Now that I own a bottle I can't decide when or where to wear it! Suddenly the scent is too strong and heavy on me! Makes me feel like drowning. And yes, I agree with merlin, it's kinda masculine!

This is one of my favourite fragrances. I tested it once in a department store and could not get enough of it. whenever I thought of it, I thought of cupcakes - sweet, vanilla scented and warm. A tea party on a spring afternoon. when I bought my first bottle and started wearing it more often, it revealed its more elegant and couture persona. A beautiful complex and confident fragrance that knows that it stands out and it will be loved.

At the first moment there was this BLAST of peppers and I almost gagged, but after less than 1 minute it turned to such a wonderful, fizzy peony with mouthwatering pomegrante that there are no words to express how delightful it feels on my skin. What I dislike is that there is some slight, slight sour and plastic feeling at the heart, but nothing too terrible.
It is very good, I must say and if I'll find this for a good price I'll buy it with no doubts.

Muito bom,parece fazer parte de quem usa.Cítrico no começo depois fica musk e baunilha.
Se adapta a qualquer clima frio ou quente.Fixação boa.

Hmmm! This is definately an interesting and unique little fragrance! ;'D Not sure how to describe it exactly because I have yet to smell something very similar. Although, I can agree with those that smell something reminiscent of Dr. Pepper in the opening. Overall this fragrance is a little peppery, a tad sharp, a bit sweet and quite cedar-y. As of know, I like it but from what I've read that like will hopefully turn into a love over time. So, Moschino Couture is still a very welcome addition to my winter perfume round up. ;')


Update: The drydown is simply stunning and addicting. I wish it would last longer but this fragrance doesn't seem to last very long. ;'(

Update #2: This fragrance just isn't right for me I guess. Doesn't seem to last all and not right with my chemistry. Keep forcing myself to wear it but that's not working. ;'(

When I think of how best to review this magnificent perfume, for some reason, my mind turns to wine tasting...

The opening of this cheeky little number begins with a slightly frizzante introduction. There is a sparkling and slightly effervescent delivery, with a citrusy accord that mingles with the pepper to liven up the front palette (aka top notes). Next comes a burst of fruit that balances the lingering pepper from the opening. Lastly, the robust structure of this creation rounds off the experience with a hint of vanilla mingled with savoury wood notes from the aged cask to deliver a full bodied fragrance with persistence of character and sillage.

Great wearing now or into the future.

Salute!

This reminds of Incense (that substance that produces a fragrant odor when burned, used in religous rituals). In orthodox countries uses it a lot, to make stay away "demons" hahahah :P.

Im not crazy about this perfume... but I like It cause It is very unique and original . Nothing u ever smelled before.
well done moschino.


THA LASTING POWER IS WEAK ON ME !!! :(

UPDATE !

I gave to this perfume to much chances to like it...
A BIG NOOOOOOO !
I would loved to like it but the pepper at the top notes annoyed the he the hell out of me. Its cloying... It makes me sick but fortunately it fades quickly...and has not staying power
Also Its not very femminine... I regret spending money for a 100 ml bottle... My father likes it a lot... I find It pretty masculine

I wasn't wearing this for 4 months now and just bought a new 100ml bottle today, I was going through withdrawal without this scent , I can't really add anything else to the comments except this perfume fits well with every occasion and I can't live without it at all!! I feel like something is missing when I don't have it! ADDICTING!!! Definite signature!

I was going to get this unsniffed but thanks to kind fragrantica member Turquoise I got a sample... and ended up with a small bottle of Couture!

At first I thought it was a bit out of my comfort zone, but when I went past the first impression it was wonderful. It opens up with zesty and strong bergamote heated up by pepper, which manages to stay nice while gently tickling your nose. When they settle down, the other notes make their statement-a strong and slightly soapy jasmine, juicy peony and jammy pommegranate which melt into a sweet vanilla-cedar base...mmmm deliciously dry and warm caramelized cedar. Reminded me a bit of Nina's dry down, which is a lot more candied though...Overall, the citrus, the poppy and the cedar give Couture! an abstract, slightly bitter, unisex potential, but it is such a sweet treat after all(in a grown up way) to be mistaken with a tom boy. Couture is perfect for nightime wear,or even sprayed lightly for daytime it accompaigns me until the evening.

Couture! is classy, but strangely I don't get this imposter feeling like with the more 'elegant' fragrances (e.g.l'Instant). This is a wearable, fresh and viscuous perfume that walks the line between floral woody musk and spicy oriental floral. It warms up the heart and energizes the spirit. So don't be fooled by the pretencious name and the perky bottle, because they hide an uncommon and likable juice that suits any style (maybe not for a yoga class or for walking your dog - and I mean real dog, not the ones they use to decorate handbags with:)) My perception about this changes every time I wear it - one time I get mainly citrus, the next time sweet dusty flowers, but most often it's resinous vanilla and jammy fruits...Couture! is not the perfume to get bored of soon. It makes me feel alluring and euphoric, as if my feet don't touch the ground.

Similar fragrances to my nose:Rochas Absolu (Couture's big sister,actually smells similar),EL Sensuous (a soft androginous woody floral that feels similar), Si Lolita (more peppery, edgy and spicy), The Beat EDP and Jil Sander Style to some extent towards the drydown.

One of the best fragrances there is! My description of this scent would be many words: Soft,pretty,feminine,for every occasion,beautiful,happy,relaxing,inviting,well suited for any age,unique,and alluring. If you wear this,everyone will ask you "Oh,you smell so good,what are you wearing?" It will pick you up when you are stressed. I would say that it is perfect for cooler months because it goes so well with that time of year,but it is so soft,that you can wear it in the hottest months without it being overbearing. Basically that means,it goes with any time of year,for every occasion. I consider this one of my all-time favorite scents. If you like soft,woodsy notes,this might be the one for you.

INTERESTING. I brought a mini out of interest and could not stop sniffing my wrist.

Love the heat of pepper and the sharp zesty note (I guess its pomegranate) but not to sure I could wear this scent without it wearing me. I have never smelt this fragrance out and about and wonder were it could be worn successfully.

Hang on... (another sniff) this is starting to soften and match me better, Couture is soapy with an invigorating cedar kick.

This is no office scent but would suit any other activity.
- Jeans, heels and Couture
– black dress, drinks and Couture
– skirt, theatre and Couture.

I find it sophisticated but still up for a whole lot of FUN :-)

A great scent to play with in your 30's.
------------
UPDATE
I am loving this scent sooo much I now wear it
- as part of my corporate wardrobe
- whilst bush walking
- at the football
- any social occasion
its just a great all round dynamite fragrance not worn by many.

Couture is a confident blend without over bearing domination

My first bottle was a blind buy but I'm glad I bought it because I never looked back. The citrus scent lifts my spirits up and brings images of a warm, sunny day in a vast field of flowers. And let's not forget that nice peppery kick which never fails to bring a smile on my face. This is my go-to scent when I can't figure out which perfume to put on since it's absolutely perfect for any occasion and any season - although it's best to apply just a little bit during the hot summer days since it can get overwhelming. A diamond-in-the-rough, a must-try scent when you are looking to stand out.

This is IT for me, my favorite perfume! Jardini's description is perfect: "an irressistible essence of life and pure joy". I really can't describe any specific notes. For me, this scent represents perfectly well both the sweetness and strength of a woman. It's not overpowering, rather energizing. It's elegant, chic and feminine, just perfect and not for every girl.

(Very good longevity and sillage)

PS. I can't find this anymore in any store and that makes me super sad. If anyone knows where I can find it I'd really appreciate if you let me know! Thanks! :)

On me, Couture seems to open up with the yellow poppy, pomegranate blossom and poppy seeds notes. The balsamic and woody closing of benzoin, vanilla and cedar are totally heavenly! This is a classy, sophisticated, chic, elegant fragrance that lends itself to everyday wear at anytime!

Moschino COUTURE is a very likeable, largely woody oriental fragrance with great staying power thanks to the benzoin. In fact, over the course of two days wearing COUTURE, I have used only half of my sample vial (1.5ml). I liked it better yesterday than today--the weather is now rather hot and very humid. The rich spiciness (imparted in part by pepper) is better suited for cold weather, and seems a bit heavy-handed in the heat.

Although COUTURE apparently has a citrus opening and a floral mid-stage, these are both quite fleeting to my nose, which focuses immediately upon the cedar-benzoin-vanilla drydown: sweet, woody, viscous and warm. A nice drydown, to be sure, but neither particularly subtle nor anything really new. However, all things considered, and especially given the excellent longevity and sillage, this is a great buy for those looking to add a new oriental to their collection.

Mmm... interesting reviews!
I see lots of praise for this scent here!
I own a big sample and I am using it up. I like it as a nice happy feminine modern fruity-peppery uplifting non descriptive fragrance, if all this makes sense!
PERFUME in capitals is not maybe the word for me. I don't find it so original. It's probably one of the best scents among designer and it's nice to wear.
It smells similarAfter sniffing it for a while I came to know what it reminds of: old Atkinsons Baruffa in the red tin. They used to sell it in Italy about 25 years ago! Couture is better and it never makes quesy or give me headache.
In the first 10 minutes I smell a green herbal note similar to galbanum.
The heart is floral-ok and in the drydown the most prominent note on my skin is benjoin, very nice with an exotical kick!
Still nothing so original.

Drydown

This is such a great perfume! It doesn't smell like anything else I've tried. For me it's all about the drydown. Cedar and vanilla what a perfect combination! I know many would disagree but IMHO this is a unisex frag. I know it smells great on me because I'm always being told how good I smell and isn't that what we all want?

Charming, utterly charming!

A smooth, gilded, cool scent with a sunny disposition. Max Mara gives me a similar "happy" feel during winter yet they are very different fragrances.

With Couture the juicy tangerine is softly spiced & very mellow - a stunning peppery citrus opening which somehow manages to pack a punch whilst being as soft as a kiss.

The florals, too, are subdued, sophisticated & do not shout. Delicate honeyed jasmine & a watery peony emerge from their sunshine bath, gilded & sparkling, but never brassy.

A soft, smooth cedar-musk base, never candied only warm. Very classy.

This is a scent that is easy to fall for - a perfect blend that walks the line between fresh & warm, fruity & floral, sweet & musky, joyful & serene.

Makes you feel like you are an elegant woman enjoying the atmosphere at an exclusive party, bubbly in (bejewelled) hand, adoring hubby's jacket over your shoulders, a smile playing on your face, laughter & soft candle light bathing you in a golden glow...happiness all around. I could be in my jeans on a grey day & Couture could make me glow like this woman!

Here what glisters is solid gold.

I just received my first bottle and I am in Love!!! I bought this totally unsniffed, based on the incredible reviews here. At first sniff, I was immediately transported to a sunny day in Venice along the water, walking past beautiful fountains. I can really smell the bergamot and mandarin orange in the top notes, very typical of smells all over Italy. The pepper kicks in and is very energizing along with the cedar, which I love. Suitable for the red carpet or a day of leisure anywhere in the world. It's transcendent; seasonless. Not like anything else in my collection.

Love this warm sweet classy scent!9/10

Just as a response to pavelhenry, I am on my 8th bottle of couture and I really can't live without this scent! Almost a signature.... It is pure joy wearing this fragrance, my next bottle is on the way. I am hooked!

I'm in my 3th flask.
And I've just bought the body lotion to use both together.
And I'm hipnotic with the result...
>.

Today I passed a woman and got this familiar and extraordinary smell in my nose: Couture!
I think Moschino's composition is yet the only perfume of those, named with this title, that deserves it.
the fragrance just walks boldly and still so fragile the line between comfortable and too extravagant.
not everyone will like it, and yet nobody dare say it's unnerving.
I loved it, but I felt pretentious wearing it.
it's a perfume in the perfume sense - you have to wear it like a red leather jacket - and people have to decide if you may pull it off. formidable - i will love to try it again...

This opens as a bright, uplifting citrusy floral with a tinge of pepper. It reminds me of the optimistically scented hallways of 4 star hotels and the spoiled jet-setting twenty-somethings born to the hard-working but well-off. It's a little soapy, but in a clean, modern, "new money" sort of way, and it makes me feel fresher when I wear it, or maybe just cheekier...

I can actually detect each individual note in this fragrance, yet no one note seems to dominate. For me, I get all the top notes and heart notes together at once. Later, the base begins to emerge with vanilla presenting itself first. Fortunately, the vanilla is delicate, and doesn't overwhelm my chemistry with the usual "dustiness" I get from many other fragrances containing vanilla, and the benzoin is probably keeping it in check.

It's a lovely little number, and I truly adore it, but sadly it lasts no more than 2 hours on my skin, from start to finish. Layering the fragrance might help, as well as reapplying early and often. This one is worth it!

Holy cow, lots of reviews for this one!
Not much else I can add...the top is very orange then the pepper kicks in. I did pick up a little of the floral heart but the pepper pretty much took over all through the drydown.
It's ok, but I guess I was thinking it would be a little more complex, layered and elegant, based on the name.
It did last all day, so if you like the smell of regular old pepper, this one's for you.

Update: Smells just like a heavy version of Rochas Absolu. I like Rochas version better.

I personally think it is very original as I have smelt nothing like it before. It wasnt a love from the first sniff - the first few times I sprayed it I did not like it at all. Actually it smells differently on my skin that on the paper strip - so try it on your skin even if you dont like it on paper.
Couture! is a chic, pleasant peppery floral which is fresh and not sweet. It lasts long on my clothes but not really on the skin (or maybe I just got used to it?). I dont find it strong at all as some others have mentioned. I would say it is fresh but chic and I use it everyday. In my opinion this one could be unisex too.

This one is very nice; bold and citrusy at the opening with a wonderful earthy, woody drydown. It begins similar to Funny! but with less sweetness, more peppery. The notes blend together seamlessly and it is good smelling from start to finish, in the middle it starts to get a little soapy but not too much. I have found this one has really bad staying power on my skin, odd since it is the opposite with Funny. Moschino makes really good quality perfumes, I can't wait to smell some of the others!

I think the way Ester put it expresses Couture! perfectly: It is PERFUME with capitals. Yes, you are aware of it's presence, you definetely identify this scent as a perfume whenever you smell it, it has a certain glamour and it lives it's live on the skin, but still, it is a masterpiece among perfumes.
best for evening, theatre or other special occassional wear, i think.

I am still unsure about Moschino Couture..,it has class, it has glamour...on me it is quite powdery, and linear...I can say it does smell very nice! but I am not sure I truly like it..it is neither old, neither young..quite an indefinite scent..probably to wear on special days..smells simialr to Obsession in my opinion..a bit..

If we had to make a top-ten fragrance list of the decade, Couture! would be in there. Maybe even in the top-three.
A classy, sparkling scent with loads of eccentricity and audacity as well.

I totally get an anise effect from it without such a note present.

Uplifting.

One of my favourites.I think this scent goes well with most skin types.I first smelt this alluring scent on a customer while I was at work. 'Wow' I just had to have it.I am very happy with this fragrance, cause it smells so sophisticated and brightens my day.

Moschino Couture! is a truly delightful scent.

Often mentioned by celebrities themselves as being one of their favourite scents, Mena Suvari being one of them, this fragrance has certainly gained a lot of success.

It's not hard to see why Couture! has captured so many people's hearts. The fragrance opens with peppered citrus which is both unique and classy. The scent is feminine without being overly sweet or fruity.

Whenever you suspect that this fragrance will become too predictable or girly, it hits you with a note which completely changes your mind. The pepper in the opening, the pomegranate in the heart and the benzoin in the drydown are examples of notes which continue to change the composition and give Couture! that unusual and distinctive appeal.

Its spicy and woodsy type scent blends so well when worn on the skin. Couture! has such a natural feel to it, almost as if it isn't a perfume at all.

Hard to believe that something so wonderful is sold at such an affordable price, I highly recommend.

One of my favourite perfumes since its sophisticated scent is suitable for any occasion: any time any where... it's one of those perfumes where you can never go wrong by choosing it..I would even choose it for a job interview!

The combination of ingredients are blended so well that not one of them dominates the other. The perfume is rather long lasting and conveys a sense of positivity everywhere you go,hence the compliments I get.

Couture is lovely and quite delicate, modern and optimistic. Very "Moschino", in my opinion. It will definitely give you a boost if applied in the morning, and it will bring you into a playful mood in the evening. Couture has many faces; it can be interpreted differently depending on how you wear it.

P.S. I would recommend trying it on your skin first as the scent can slightly change. On me it smells a little sour and soapy, though on paper it doesn't.

The best MOschino ever, and one of the best warm, sensual (erotic?)florals. BY the end of the day the drydown resembles the most expensive niches on my skin. I love it!

In approximately two years ago, after one of the extravagant purchase of one of my boss in a Shopping Center-Campinas/ São Paulo/Brazil- we had agreement a commitment in one of our works. Her purchase was occupied all her car, so, I didn't care to going to work with mine.
At the end of the afternoon, arriving in my home, I noticed the presence of a small flask, with red cap and oily yellow liquid on the passenger's seat. With this small flask in hands, I just read "Couture! ".
I ran to Sack's to research for that perfume. I saw a square flask, with a heart in the cap, a red "tie" and with gold button... "- Very cute... ", I said.
At night, in the traffic, I remembered the small flask, which I had left in the car.
I put it on my pulse. At the first moment, I think "- Just one more sweet French."
In the middle of the highway, the perfume was taken care of the whole car. Suddenly, I saw myself involved in a cloud of succulent citric notes, jasmine, wood and vanilla.
After getting a second sample of Couture!, I began there to create a deep passion for this Moschino.

Was something magnetic in this one. Sweet citric notes receive me with a warm "- Benvenutto! ". To me, and to whole people round me.
I could see people with lost glances, "hunting" with them noses in the air, searching to find which direction that beautiful sillage comes.
Succulent top notes with sweet mandarin, bergamot and tangerine with spicy touches and Italians lead off a pile of sensations! In the base, notes of aldehyde and poppy seeds gives a dry and lukewarm soapy that take care of all, with the comfort of creamy flowers, yellow peony and jasmine, backed by the drydown following with vanilla and hot woods.
Couture! change as a virtuosi, very different from the notes in the begin.
And going thru by its three different phases. And when you think that it’s across for another phase, it returns, and turns to the same delicious and citric first phase. Therefore after, Couture! retakes the vanilla and to the woody base or the intoxicating powdery.
It seems like it varies with my vitality, with my anxiety and perspiration.
I can hear it say:
"- Hey, I am here, working for you! ".
Couture! reconcile several styles of perfumes. It passes by many stages: citric, metallic soapy, powdery and woodsy.
Leaves a trace marked in the air in elapsing for a lot of hours.
Mix what I most love in perfumery, being conceptual as Oh! de Moschino and Apparition EDP, mutant as Tumulte and Absynthe - Lacroix, cozy like Crystal Noir and Covet and metallic like Anné Pliska EDP.

Couture! always transformed my simple days in days of party and the rainy days in days of sun.
Its smell comes as a blow, a gale, which kick-out the black clouds and the humid climate to far.
Come with a new day, a new sun, a smile, a tear. A shelter that always make me think in something familiar... makes me feel like "home".,. with a Italian and friendly soul.
The same happiness that hears Geri Halliwell brings to me. The same sensation of pleasure that bite a soft bar of bitter chocolate brings or the comfort sensation lived among friends. A happiness that live within myself, and that makes me remember that the days are not based just in works, bills, projects, rainy days, ballads, studies and etc. there’s a real side and there’s a good side: the true feeling of the pure spontaneous happiness, without a tangible reason.
Just, happiness...

There's something in Couture! that makes a finish in my lifestyle, that marries with my skin and makes a natural mixture, as if it was my own smell.
The versatility of Couture! have already turn my partner in the nights, in the discos, it already accompanied me in works, in visits to customers, in a first meet, in a second meet, in a last meet...
Couture! leaves a mark and a memory, talking by itself about a premeditated personality, built through its aroma.
No longer makes me remember anything, it simply makes me "travel".
In the end of the day "- Arrivederci!" it says.
A mixture of several feelings, of several and nostalgic dreams... as the first love in a first (or second) sight.
Actually, I define my signature frag, Couture, just in three words: Luv, luv and luv!!

This is one of the most unusual sophisticated hard-to-explain fragrances I can think of. The peppery floral mix is terrific. People will want to know what you're wearing. Love it.

At first spritz I knew that this scent was pure sophistication. There was some kind of subtle pepper mixed with florals. Later I could clearly smell the red poppy and I truly adore the smell of that paticular flower. I think this is a scent for a sophisticated woman with good taste.

Like the name,this scent very luxury and warming enough for winter.It's like a little bit scream "Hey!I'm Diva,look at me".And it's still true that when you walk out for 10 minutes but others can still got your perfume.Very strong but perfect.I'm sure you get a lot of compliments both men and women.I have 3 Couture in my wardrope.Not over but just addict 555.

i like this perfume , it is easy to wear when you can't decide what you want

I am writing because I am on my second bottle and everyone tells me I smell so good, at first I thought it wasn't very strong but it stays for a long time! I don't think I will change for a while and if I do I am sure I will return to Couture!

Boggi, you explained well="It is a hard fragrance to cathegorize. It's both warm and cold, both sweet and fresh. It's not strong, but not light either."

This perfume is special as it is unique..

For me this is THE PERFUME - every time I wear it people get closer to me and discreetly sniff the air around me.
The precious blend of sweetness and spices, warm and yet cold, is so nice that it makes me keep going back to it as a first option and buying it.
It really gives the one wearing it a feeling of being different/apart/special, a one-of-a-kind person. You can never feel 'invisible', unimportant, unattractive, non-sexy when wering this scent. It's definitely my favourite. It is a bold, classy, refined, scent for those who are in control of their life, decisions, attractiveness and who are not afraid to make statement of their self-confidence in refined, subtle but firm manner.

I just bought my first bottle today! I am happy to try this one because I wanted a change from the sweet floral fruity gourmands that I have had in the past. It is so interesting and I love the peppery feel of it and it is like powder on me with the dry down and vanilla! Very nice and worth trying for the price! I am almost finished my first bottle and i will definitely repurchase! Loving it!

It's not for the summer or maybe only for summer nights, but certanly is a drop of pure elegance.
Something special and long lasting.
I love it!

This is one unusual scent, especially for a woman. It starts with a smell of pine, as if you're somewhere in a Mediterranean forest, and then it developes into a beautiful, seductive scent, with warm notes and a great staying power. This perfume is very different to the majority of perfumes available nowadays, I think it suits best a strong, bold and sexy woman.

I love it. One of my favourites. It has such a special smell and it makes me feel sexy.

This was a gift that I was curious about, and I had never smelled it before. Going off only the notes, description, and reviews, I took the chance that it was enchanting. Couture is warm, sexy and inviting. The ad for Couture is one of the best I've seen in YEARS! The perfume is unique while still being wearable. People will ask you what you're wearing. It smells incredible, but the price for it is very good and quite affordable. Moschino is an Italian brand and Italians prefer a bolder perfume. It is strong upon the first few minutes, but it does mellow out within 5 minutes. Most of us put on perfume after a shower or before we leave home, so there is plenty of time for it to melt into your skin. While this is hard to pin down and put into a category of fragrance, just trust me (and the majority of reviewers) that is is a gem among many average perfumes. The opening has the freshness of citrus, but it blends into the heart's unusual notes rather smoothly. The vanilla and cedar in the base cuddle the other notes, but they never overwhelm the perfume. It's amazing how well all of these notes blend together. Brava!

Very alluring I have to admit. Warm and peppery, sweet and spicy, very interesting, rather for cool days, evenings. Use just a little bit and it lasts for hours

I was quite disappointed: I expected something similar to Serpentine, but got very soapy fragrance on me.
The top was like citrus soap. It's pleasant and not chemical at least. It was a bit peppery as well. Middle notes was soapy too, but it was 'floral' smell there. Nice but nothing special. After some hour it loses it's soapiness and there is slightly sweet florals left with something little interesting. The reviews are very good and I think I'll try it again sometime.

Warm, peppery, chic... this is couture!
Classy, sweet very well balanced with the pepper, so not that over the top sweet or over the top peppery.
It's mature and bright in a very different way. Very long lasting.
In some way it reminds me my beloved Absolu(Rochas), and I still prefer Absolu though.

It isn´t that splendid for me. I still can´t find the right moment to wear it. I am sure I will. It is not suitable for special occations very light almost imperceptible, not in summer time either, it makes me smell like sweat it is not fresh.. so I think it could be good on a very cold winter day. I will try soon, since it is summer here. The fragrance is ok, just ok for me, I really like the fact that it doesn´t smell too fruity or too floral, it is balanced I can say ,far from the idea of a "carnaval", and the price is not too high.

When I smelt it for the first time I was shocked and couldn't imagine who could wear it. I didn'd like it at all, but when I went out of the shop, I smelt a wave of a beautiful scent. I looked around, but there were no women at all... So it was COUTURE "sitting" proudly on my wrist and the trail was unbelivably splendid!

This should be a niche perfume ! For its price, its a steal.... I smelled it once and I was hooked. I know I like perfume if I like it after 5 minutes. It was at the bottom of a shelf in a perfume shop in Europe and I kept looking at the price. Wow, what a steal ! Classy, intriguing, and a bit spicy. This one stays with me FOREVER. Congratulations Moschino !

I was never too impressed with this fragrance on a sample strip, or out of the bottle, but I finally tried it on my skin. Initial impression was blah. After it settled a couple hours later, it morphed into the rather yummy, spicy vanillic cedar. It never turned cinnamon-y on me. Sophisticated, but not screaming mature. Not too girly, definitely not fruity. The more I smell it, the more I'm liking it. I keep catching whiffs of it unexpectedly and thinking Mmmmm!

At first, as I sniffed it in a local discount perfumery, I didn't liked it at all. That happened 2 yrs ago. Than, something dramatically changed. Originally I wanted something what could substitute my beloved Crystal Noir, because one of my friends began to wear it as her signature scent. And so the big quest after a "new Crystal Noir" begun. And Couture! has got the same decadent mood in its design. And a big bunch of decadency in its "smell" too. It has strong notes of oranges, orange flowers, aldehydes (soapy but warm, enveloping quality, quite sterile and uber-natural), and a faint spicy background. It is like drinking orange juice with 100% fruit content, waiting for the drying clothes, and eating a nice warm, but not sweet delicacy with faint spices and an excellent taste, and being clean, out of shower-clean. The lasting power on skin is a bit better than average, but on clothes it really lasts and last, it is a delight, sniffing clothes after wearing Couture!.

This is truly a different perfume and to me pretty strange! I don't know how they smell in nature, I guess it is the poppies that makes this one so unique. It is hard to describe it, but I would say it is a scent that is related to pepper. It is a hard fragrance to cathegorize. It's both warm and cold, both sweet and fresh. It's not strong, but not light either. Like member Ester said, it is "perfumy" and that's what I like about it. I am not sure if I made you want to try this with this review, but I really urge you to try it.

It is long-lasting, has a reasonable price and a funny bottle!

I am not wearing it but I smelled it on a friend...It is like you smell sth and you scent it out...Hımmmm....It is really feminine,agreeably hot...My next perfume...

I got a sample of this & I have to say the scent fits the name perfectly ;)
It's like nothing I have ever smelled before.
It is really a cherry covered airy floral scent that got my attention & still has my nose waving around sniffing when I catch a waft of myself.

Each note makes an appearance & hangs out for just long enough to enhance the next note.The pomegranate is prominent on me throughout the whole day (it has lasted from 6 am to know 4:30 pm & its still going;)

It is a very juicy scent as well.As if they drizzled the pomegranate juice throughout the bergmont,peony,poppy & cedar & the vanilla adds a softness that makes this delicious as well as fresh.The benzoin & pepper give it the soft zest that gets your attention and keeps it
You can't loose with this masterpeice;)

This is a parfume that I got for my graduation day. For me he is a begining, a new start, a new life ... life after college ... His smell reminds me on a day that I didn't know what will happen tommorrow. When my future was unknown. It's couture ....

all the best about it, except the fact that its base notes seem too ordinary and kind of ruin the great effect of its previous notes

This is the best perfume: feminine, suitable for all seasons, a little sharp. I feel relaxed and self-confident, wearing this perfume.

I bought Couture! just a few days ago... I was just looking for something sweet... floral...not strong... for everyday use... and I can say that Couture! was correct... when you spray... the top notes are fresh and nice ; spicy and fruity... very delicate... then after half an hour or so... it gets soft and smooth... it goes with you all day with a beautiful vainilla scent....very , very feminine... balanced...it is suitable for any occation... but better for spring or summer temperatures...

I traveled by the underground in this summer, and I worn Couture. A girl stood by me. He moved aside when the wind blew my fragrance towards her. I'm so sorry ... I love this the perfume :)

very elegant, very flowery...gives me a migrane! 2 strong

The perfume smelled so elegant and classy.
But I think that women in 20s-30s are not suitable to wear this.
It perfectly suits women in their 40s.

I love this fragrance, I think that it's one of the most womanly perfume.
It's warm and refreshing.
Every fall day, when my Woman use it I feel much better.

I definetly love it! I bought it in 2006 and I still have a couple of drops left in the bottle... i kept it for "special ocassions"
It gives me energy and also makes me fell good, sexy and confident and I must add that it lasts long too!
I will surely buy it again!

Love it. Bought it in 2004, and used for different occasions, mostly something special, like my own wedding, or others weddings, theater visits, and sometimes just on an ordinary day. A sofisticated, yet youthfull perfume. Elegant, but not stiff. Warm and refreshing at the same time

A womanly, contemporary fragrance. Quite underrated. Very warm, but chic.

I love this perfume so much ! My man gave me a little one but later that I was smell it's unbelievable adorable.
It's warm on my skin.Of course,I plays
with it only at night.It makes me feel
a bit sexy and elegant.Love it !

It is summer and I am wearing this and loving it. This is my all time favorite.

I found this among my perfume sample collection. I use to thing that this just an ordinary nice smelling perfume, but a second visit to Couture proove me that I was wrong.

Couture is a nice day perfume. I like how Couture! energize me without too overpowering. It's a little bit softer than Paco Rabanne's Black XS for Her but more classy than DKNY Red Delicious.

I use it for a presentation at the weekend, and somehow, it's perfect!

A lot like D&G first fragrance red, even lasts long too! Not for every day, definately for fall and winder. A fantastic fragrance for a great price!

I love the white pepper in this perfume. It gives me energy and makes me ready to take on the world.
