Moschino Moschino for women

It's been my absolute favorite ever since it came out years ago. Compliments galore. Unfortunately getting harder to find, especially the bath/shower gel (anyone find it lately?) Thanks to the suggestion it is alot like Boucheron -- may I ask which one -- I am not familiar with and I see there are many. Thank you!

This smells very similar to Boucheron.

I tried this one a few years ago and didn`t like it at all. However,I decided to give it another chance when I saw that someone had voted it similar to Boucheron (Thanks a lot), which is one of my favourites. They are indeed alike in top notes and I would say they are going in the same direction but then Moschino becomes spicier and darker.I don`t detect any powdery notes and vanilla. Anyway,it is warm, comforting and perfect for winter. All time classic, very strong, small amount goes long way. It is from those perfumes which are at their best when dabbed on rather than sprayed.

I got one bottle today from some shop.So far it is warm, spicy and balmy. It somewhat, like a warm hug in November. I am goinf out now, when I be back, I tell, how it opens and play....
P.S.It revealed a bot burned wood note after a while.

I agree with everything Olga1780 said (she summed it up very nicely!) and I would add that, even though the notes don't indicate it, for me there is at some point in the drydown a chypre-esque quality here. Then later, a soapy aldehyde quality. But when the dust completely settles, a good, classic oriental emerges that I find familiar and comforting. Like a *slightly* updated version of something my mom might've worn in the 70's. (BTW, with the vanilla, amber, woods and spices, why isn't this classifed as oriental?)

I am only sad I am descovring Moschino only now. From their ads I always thougt it was nothing special just mainstream compotes... This one is really up there with all my other fav orientals that hits you strong:)

I had high expectations for this perfume because it was supposed to be old school classic, ulike the rest of the Moschino fragrances. And not only did it not disappoint me a bit, but exceeded my expectations.
Very beautiful and unique creation with a touch of vintage feel to it, although I would put it in the oriental spicy category. Definitely a formal fragrance. If you like classics like Arpege, Rochas Femme, Diva, First and so on and so forth, you sure will be able to appreciate this one.

This is my favorite of the Moshino house. To me it is a oriental that goes well with my chemistry. I detect coriander, pathouli [I love patchouli} and vanilla. It develops into a soft oriental on my skin wich i adore. I always have another botlle in stock. I get many compliments when i wear this wich i don't get when i wear Opium [thank god my husband love's that one to}. even though it is a edt, spray two times and it is enough to last a day. I hope that this one stays available.

Until now (now being AFTER I got a hated but informative poudre note sample) i always thought Moschino was the mistress of Powdery scent. Along with Shalimar and Anne Klein II. What I defined as powdery was the way a perfume makes a cloud of sweet dry particles, the way it seems to get so high up in my nose that I smell it with the inside of my head.
Anyway, I don't agree with some reviewers who think Moschino is sexy. To me, this is pure air-headed elegance.

Just received mine today after a long wait. As Sherapop said, "this is perfume". This sillage is along the line of Shalimar. In other ways, they share nothing.

Upon first applying, I may have been too heavy handed because I wanted to run to the bath and scrub is off. It was nearly overwhelming. After about 15 minutes, it mellows to a beautiful oriental. The first blast is similar to the smell of kerosene which gives way to beautiful flowers and woodie goodies. There is nothing sweet about this concoction. To me, it is pure oriental. The nutmeg, patchouli, and sandalwood blend with the carnation and gardenia. There is no question they dominate the carnations and gardenias. I think the flowers are there to merely temper the woodie offerings. I have not noticed the pepper.

This is a "true perfume" that bares no resemblance to many of today's watery offerings. I have not had it on long enough to judge its longevity but firmly feel it will be superior. I must say this is seductive like Obsession and not classy like Arpege. It actually makes Obsession look like its shy chaste sister. Yet, I believe it has its time and place. Viva Moschino, the ultimate sexy frag!!!!

The longer I wear this, the better it smells. The value makes this a major winner. I will be back again with further details.

Further Details: This one has superior longevity. It is going strong after more than six hours. This is a winner.

This one has disappear from the selves in Spain,What a pity! It used to be better than Obsession by CK,and I loved it. It is a little bit masculine and very sensual I still have lovely memories of it.Moschino sells now very trendy fragrances that I suppose more modern generations fancy and appreciate but this one was their best by far.

To me this is the chaotic mix of all the notes and if there would be less of the green note in it there would be a chance that i could like it. But there is a note in it that simply distracts me. Haven´t detected it yet, but i will wait and give it another try. In some way it reminds me of a "Krazy Krizia" but much more wearable for me becuase of the sharp notes here. I don´t get any similarities to "Obsession", after reading that i especially went to perfume store to compare and Obsession is much sharper to me and more wearable to my taste. I really love the pepper note and carnation, but still there is something that turns me off.
So sad, i really wanted to like it. I guess i have to grow yet to wear this perfume. It suits really good my grandma though.

Utterly charming and mysterious perfume: musky tones, lovely flowers, a touch of vanilla, warm wood.

Associations: cold winter mist, white damask, short days, a celebration, maybe even a wedding..

So glad I own a bottle.

"It's a perfume!" were the first words out of my mouth upon applying Moschino MOSCHINO. What a gorgeous, substantial composition this is! I love the rich florality mingling with all of the spices and the patchouli. The marigold (tagetes) really stands out for me--in a beautiful way--but all of the other floral and oriental and chypre notes contribute as the voices of a harmonic chorus.

MOSCHINO has very, very, big sillage and phenomenal longevity (impossible to review two perfumes on this glorious day!), and I have to say that this is my best purchase in a long time. Although this perfume was launched in the '80s, I do not find it '80s-ish in that "oh no: impossible to wear" way, but I do think that it needs to be applied sparingly if one plans on interacting with others in public. I was thrilled to spend another dreaded "wintry mix" weather day in my warm apartment marvelling at how wonderful I smell!

I steered clear from the house of Moschino after less than felicitous encounters with three members of the CHEAP & CHIC series, none of which I find wearable. But they have redeemed themselves many times over with MOSCHINO and also COUTURE, another recent acquisition and splendid creation. As an added plus, the bottles in which these two gems are housed are lovely as well...

Anyone who loves perfume (as opposed to unidimensional flimsy cologne, shower-in-a-bottle, office-ready inoffensive fruity floral frags, etc.) has got to give MOSCHINO a sniff!

A woody musk (with oriental touch) and floral deep, made dusty, round and intense. A smell difficult to forget ... it associated with something old.
He remembers the smell of the cupboards of my grandmother, or own his in the special days, it does that he does not find place for this perfume in my life.Probably it is an aroma that it appreciates with the time???.


Passed some time is smoothed lightly and becomes more comfortable, but not as to take it definitively.

Not for the young and virginal! Full bodied, ample, and sexual this is a 36-26-36 woman. The strongest notes i get from this are the carnation, galbanum and vanilla. That being said, this juice can easily pass for unisex. As a sidebar, those of you who remember VENICE from Yves Rocher, this is pretty spot on.

Guest_Jane, try it at airports. I found it in Madrid 2 weeks ago.
Love it so much!

The only perfume I have ever really loved! Finding it extremely hard to find now so if anyone knows of a similar one I would love to hear about it!
Over the years I have lost count of number of people who compliment me on my perfume (both men and women). Something I have never had from any other perfume. Have never found it overpowering as some people do - maybe it's all down to personal chemistry!

I keep trying Moschino and waiting to like it. Not sure I'll ever get there. This is another fragrance whose notes look great on paper but come across as harsh and discordant on my skin. It's very strong and has monster sillage on me.

I love the big loud scents of the 1980's. I'm fond of many patchoulis and spicy scents. I detect in Moschino some similarities to other scents I have enjoyed (Bal a Versailles and L'Air de Rien, for example), but Moschino is such an odd mix of spices, greens and sweetness. I can't quite bring myself to say I like it.

The overall effect on me: old lady wearing too much Gardenia perfume just ate pasta with spicy marinara and is getting ready to mop the floor with some Spic and Span.

[No offense to old ladies, Gardenia lovers, spicy marinara eaters or folks who clean their floors with Spic and Span. :-) ]

[Feel free to substitute "old man" for "old lady" in my description. Moschino is unusual enough to be 100% unisex.]

This is one of those unexpected intruiging perfumes. I did not foresee that from such a bottle this perfume would evolve! It starts out with a bomb of OLD glam, which makes me think immidiately: NO! not my piece of cake! But then, it settles down so interesting and spicy.. extravagant, which makes you want to máke it your piece of cake. Definitly try this if you can... Even if it scares you a little.

I have to add a second review because I have to say that this stuff literally gags me in the Summer!!!! In the Fall its absolutley wonderful! This is one of the rare few perfumes that I have that has ever did this to me. Im now waring this again but I tired it this summer and almost lost my "cookies" after putting it on. WIEIRD. perfume is a strange science indeed!

Moschino fragrances are really something. Original, distinctive, well crafted and stylish.

MM is one of those 'odd' scents - I can’t classify it - can’t explain what it is about it - can’t describe it - CANT GET ENOUGH OF IT.

I just love the fresh bitter musky scent. Clears the nostrils (in an amazing way) and invigorates the soul.

For the adventurous, this really is a scent worth exploring.

This fragrance was way too strong for me...I didn't like it, and I LOVE many of the Moschino fragrances!

This is what I would have liked to have worn in the 80's! Strong, rich, decadent, lady-like with a woody, male-edge...a sharp tailored suit complete with shoulder-pads & bold gold jewellery...all woman yet with plenty of feistyness!

Strong, spicey, alcoholic, herbal & bitter-sweet at first - blasting its way onto the skin, making its presence known like a pair of high heels on a cool marble floor. Moschino then takes its sweet time to slowly mellow into a more rounded "perfumey" fragrance (I see scents like 24Fauberg as having this rich, perfumey quality).

The progression of this scent is fantastic! It gradually evolves from its very male beginnings into a heady, heavenly, feminine fragrance via a myriad of convoluted perfumed twists & turns. How many modern edts can boast this interest & power?

The last gasps are of a pervasive, musky, velvety vanilla fog....many, many hours later! Soniamcalear hits the nail on the head by describing it as the inside of a ladies purse...a rich lady who owns gilded compacts with a down puff & waxy, ruby-red lipstick.

Like Kama, this reminds me of a mix of frags - a healthy dose of Rykiel Woman (warm, peppery-spiced) blended with the big "perfumey" voice of scents like 24F, Boucheron, L'Heure Bleue.

Despite its 80's nature & unsettling start, I find it a perfume relevant to this sweet-modern era, a classic, undated. If you like strong woody-musks (like strip) & unusual spicey-orientals (like Rykiel Woman)I urge you to try it! If you don't fall for it at least you will enjoy the experience of a true perfume-ride.

I am so glad this one has not been killed yet and I am so glad that women don't choose this one but choose some cheesy perfumes that are no where near to this masterpiece. The lasting power is long as most of Moschino's fragrances, my scarf smells with days on it. Luca Turin compared this with L'heur Bleue from Guerlain, only making a remark that this was a copy of it. I would say that for me this one is better. At least stays longer with you.Amongst YSL's NU this is one of my all time favorites.

This is really strong and sweet to start off with but then it quickly calms down, in fact I think it calms down to much because I absolutely love this scent so much. It reminds me of the smell of a ladies purse inside after she has kept all her lovely belongings it for so long and tenderly packed it away for another day. Its sweet and musky.

I GET COMPLIMENTS ON THIS ALL THE TIME!

Moschino is a very classy fragrance I used to wear in the 90's. It was my first floral woody musk scent, and I have never forgotten the spice, flower and vanilla combination that makes this scent so unique.

Today I was surprised to see it on sale in the department store and the SA told me that they haden't had it for a long time. Smelling it again ewoked memories from the past and how luxuiorus I felt wearing it when I was still a student.

The strange notes of oregano, coriander and nutmeg added something peculiar to it's composition which I liked at that time. And Moschino is very longlasting. After several hours there is still ylang ylang, rose, musk and vanilla lingering on my wrist.

I can't make up my mind if I should buy it or not? It was such a bargain, (only USD 22). But I think that Shalimar edp will fulfill some of the desired notes of flowers, spices and vanilla and add some other that I'm more crazy about wearing today.

I loved this one for decades, but just this weekend I once again discovered what an incredible beauty this is..
UNBELIEVABLE

Very unique, classic and vampy!
Lasts very long too.

Actually, this is a very MUST MUST MUST have. It is one of the most beautiful perfumes ever.

Moschino is no doubt a classic fragrance which has somehow slipped under the radar during the last few decades.

I very rarely hear of this signature scent by Moschino, it seems that their fruity florals and more modern offerings have gained them more success. A shame seeing how elegant and refined this fragrance actually is.

Moschino is spicy yet soapy. The spicy components in the opening when blended with the vanilla, patchouli and floral notes in the drydown, gives this fragrance a beautiful, creamy texture which I really admire.

I'll agree with trueperfumelover that suggested that this fragrance is similar to the classic and highly praised Boucheron pour Femme, although it is perhaps not as complex.

I like Moschino's simplicity and also love the fact that for an eau de toilette, this fragrance lasts almost a whole day.

I highly recommend.

Is has presence in a positive sense. Rich blend with a volume and spices. Time eats the spices away, so it could lie back and sink in velvet armchair. It makes me think of the past, and blissfully slows down my pace.

It´s a very beautiful bottle, and the fragrance is great. Strong, long lasting, luxurious...but now I´m bored of this Moschino (maybe because I had it for long time)

I just got this today - it is beautiful bottle and beautiful box! Gold and expensive looking!

Anyway, I ordered this perfume because someone said that are a bit similar to Dolce Gabbana BY...

I think that they are in the climate, but not VERY SIMILAR to Dolce Gabbana BY..at least not in my opinion...

I think they are like... mixing of
Dolce Gabbana BY and Sonia Rykiel EDP Not for men..
They have spiciness and some sexy part of Dolce Gabbana BY
and pepper and also spiciness not from Sonia Rykiel EDP Not for men - but much lighter version of Sonia Rykiel EDP Not for men.
They are strong ONLY within 3-5 first minutes...
I definitely like them...

I want to edit something more..now after wearing them for 40 minutes I really like them!!! They are very elegant but sexy... and the tone from Sonia Rykiel goes away a little bit and more of D&G BY appears...

This one is my mother's fave...
And i begin to like it too!

Bring the strong scent at the first spray, but this is i must tell you that the Overwhelmed coriander was fading way by time!

Leaves Vanilla and Nutmeg behind!

This is too strong for me, but i don't know why i just love it!

My mom had it from 1995 and still exists until now (wow its been 15 years old and the scent still strong)

I've owned many perfumes over the past 14 years, this is the only one I don't clearly remember the smell of. I remember the shiny box, I remember the bottle with the cool bow - I don't remember the scent. Maybe that's useless information - OR maybe that's a very pertinent clue as to the value of this fragrance. I do remember that I used to wear this when I didn't have any strong feelings as to what to wear. It was my "whatever, I don't really care" fragrance. Do with that information what you will! :-D
