Dead Sexy Tokyo Milk Parfumarie Curiosite for women and men

Funny.I am a gourmand scent freak. From all the gourmand-ish samples I have ever tried, this one is by far the most floral. And very heavy as well. I do not see how Dead Sexy could be unisex, really. Far too feminine, maybe even for myself :-)

This starts out with a blast of woods, not your "pencil shaving" smell but a sharp woody elegance. It stays that way for a while before it starts to dry down to a vanilla muskieness. When I first put it on, it was VERY masculine and the drydown would be wonderful for men or women. I need to try this one more time before I decide whether or not to pass this on. If it feels too masculine (on the top and middle notes) next time I wear it then someone else will get it. It lasted about 8 hours. It is best for Fall/Winter use.
Thank you Dame Piglet for the sample! :)

Smells like Diesel Zero Plus Masculine on me. Big cinnamon blast with a weird metallic undertone but not as strong as Diesel Zero Plus or as long lasting.
This is a positive review.

If you love Dead Sexy, the Bon Bon Shea lotion version is even smokier, a little less sweet, more depth and silage. Who would have guessed. I LOVE the vanilla, caramel, amber, smoky woodsy NOT smoky tobacco. I agree with "smells like a sweet tryst on a wooden table" followed by vanilla. Wondering how it will be on long time male companion. He usually mixes his own essential oil based fragrances but I bet he will try this one.

Silage - 5 hours & counting.
Expense to joy ratio: excellent.

I love the interesting combinations that Tokyo Milk creates, however I'm not always sure that I like them......on me...that is. I sprayed a dollop of this on my wrist awhile back while visiting a funky import store in Portland's Pearl District. I was instantly in love....I couldn't stop groping my arm for the rest of the day and I'm sure people wondered what my major malfunction was. I swore I had to have it from that day on and months went by while I continued to night and daydream about it. It very much reminded me of MAC MV3 ( which I a.d.o.r.e.) I did indeed receive a bottle several months later for my birthday and strangely AND sadly it did not smell as I remembered. I still like it but it smells SO much sweeter to me than I remember....sickly sweet. Cloyingly sweet like cherry tobacco and marshmallows sweet. I don't get very much of the wood and smokiness that I remember from that first encounter and that I loved SO much. Personally I don't smell vanilla, I smell caramel and amber and I smell not a wink of floral. It does last for several hours on my skin and seems to keep it's strength. Not sure I would purchase another bottle when this one's empty but it's interesting for sure.

Opens super woody and peppery on me. As it dries, the woody pepper continues and a slight smoke and very, very, very faint vanilla develops. No trace of anything remotely floral develops on my skin.

I'd really love to smell this on a man and I suspect it could be very sensual on a female with different chemistry from mine.

It's an interesting little fragrance, but it's not 'me'.

Fantastic. Orchid and woods are a match made in heaven. This is totally feminine and perfect for day or night wear. I don't see how anyone looking for a sweet scent that is built on a woodsy base could dislike this one. So far I am a big fan of this brand.

Heavy. Like quicksand heavy. Way to masculine for me as well. I used to manage a boutique where we sold TM and we couldnt keep this one on the shelves. The few times I had the chance to try it I was quite confused with the mania it caused. It reminded me of a seedy back alley bar thick with smoke. But to each their own. Like other TM frags it could develop into something so different and beautiful on someone else.

How come nobody is mentioning that this smells like a good feminine version of Bulgari's Black? I will be ordering a fb of this...just a tad more perfect than Black for me....I'll let dh keep Black and I'll adore this one!

I got a full bottle of this the other day, and wore it for the first time today.
I have to say, I wasn't sure at first what to think, but after a while, it started to smell bait like my beloved Chergui by SL.
A weaker version, yes, a more office appropriate one, definitely.
I've got to say, this very well might end up in my top 10 rotation.

I get too much of a rubber smell with this one. I'm going to give this one to one of my friends. The scent does eventually turn into a lovely vanilla scent but I don't have the patience to wait for it.

I'm normally a light-floral kind of person, but this caught my attention in the store so I took a chance on it.
At first all I could smell was the wood notes, and they had a bit of a bite to them that I found interesting but not my cup of tea, so I was going to pass on it. But before I even left the store the fragrance softened up a little bit and the vanilla came through, which gives the woods a soft, warm, smoky-sweet kind of quality that's actually very nice. It does have a rubber element to it, but not in a bad way, and again it's tied to the vanilla which keeps it from being too harsh.
And it is sexy, in a warm-mischievous-inside-joke kind of way. Tea at midnight in our bathrobes with liberal sprinklings of sly smiles kind of sexy. But I also find it just comforting. I actually wore it to bed the first night I had it.
Overall I probably won't wear it often because it's not my normal type, but it's an interesting scent and I'm glad I bought it. Ordered a couple of other Tokyo Milk fragrances and I'm looking forward to them.

The smell of a sweet tryst on a heavy wooden table! Wait--did I say tryst? I meant meant shy flirtation touching hands briefly while drinking steamed milk with vanilla...The vanilla is sweet, but not heavy-toasted. The ebony note is fantastic! While Wish by Lollia was so sweet I had to scrub immediately, the sweetness of this one is perfect for the composition. On the top of my wishlist you go, Dead Sexy!

Dead Sexy begins with a sharp resin ("bug spray") smell and heavier woods which fade fairly quickly, soon leaving a nice, spicy, vanilla-sweet, and smoky woods. This is one of my faves, it has a nice, strong personality and is great for fall & winter. It could definitely be worn by a man as well. I don't get much floral - they just peek through a touch a couple of hours into wear, the woods really cover them up. It is almost identical to "Pomme Poivre" from M.E.'s Love + Toast line - odd to copy yourself. This is definitely better, it's a little more potent. Is is also similar to Sage Oil's "Onyx" which has VERY heavy moss & woods, vanilla & tobacco (although not this is not as sweet and has no coconut.)

Got my bottle today. This smells good! At first I am blasted by woods, but I like woods in a scent. The only perfume I hated was Issey Miyake L'Fue or whatever. It was TOOOO woodsy. Anyway, a few minutes go by and finally the sweet vanilla rolls out slowly, like a perfect curl of cigarette smoke rising slowly. I am really liking this!!

Definitely a cool fragrance. Rubber? Yes indeedy. A slight whiff of new plimsols, tempered by a deep but shy salty, sexy vanilla musk base, the whole thing is rounded off beautifully by a soft, velvetty wood binder which holds the whole thing into it's delicate shape. Yes, its delicate, in the same way as a woman's bedsheets hold the scent memory of what happened two nights ago...it IS sexy, its a memory jogger. I love it.

Woody resin and spices. It's very nice, and has excellent strong wood notes, but it lacks something to be considered quite as sexy as it wants to be. Still, with another name, it would still be fabulous. It's a wood/spice fragrance with a dark tint and feels perhaps more mysterious than sexy. I like it quite a bit for its true wood notes and the blend is seamless and smooth. Very well crafted for such an affordable fragrance and suited to man or woman.

had the honor to smell this in a store and i gotto say its really nice smelling but not that much diffrent from many oriental scents, but the florals are well done

Not as woody as I was hoping for.Very much vanilla in the opening. A bit nutty and almost caramely middle. The orchid gives it a asian/oriental feel.
Dead sexy? no.
A good semi-sexy oriental? Yes.

I wear this daily and my boyfriend cannot get enough of it. As a female, I feel like it's kind of a heavy, exotic scent, but he LOVES it. Calls it the "Mel smell" and the great part is that it's not a typical department store fragrance, so it's more of a signature scent, not something you are likely to smell on many other people.

The only thing I love about this fragrance is the name packaging.

Other than that is is a straightforward vanilla/woodsy fragrance. It doesn't smell bad by any means but it does not feel special in any way. If you are looking for a higher end version of this I would recommend Givenchy PI for men.

I get rubber, not unlike Bulgari Black, which I actually love. This one, not so much.

I agree with you, if you like this fragrance try le petite , Dead sexy's notes change with time, and different notes are enhanced with time.

Yes, this is actually quite sexy. Warm, powdery and exotic. Earthy and incensy aromas lingers around for a long time. Remind me of Nature Millenaire from Yves Rocher, wich was one of my favourites for some time. Very much worth the money and if you feel the slightest for sexy, oriental and still very soft perfumes you should absolutly give this one a try.

I really like this one and I find it suitable to wear for a lot of different occasions. I could go for a big bottle of it.
