Gin & Rosewater Tokyo Milk Parfumarie Curiosite for women

I love this scent... sugared happiness, orange, yellow, and pepto-pink. It wears well through any season as it manages to be both cool and warm.

This was my first try with Tokyo Milk, chosen out of so many because I love both gin and rosewater. I think Hendrick's has rosewater in it - but it's not my fav. Anyway, I sprayed it on a tissue and allowed to dry waiting for it to hit my nose. I could imagine gin and rosewater for a second, but then I read the label to discover the notes used to create an illusion of the description. I don't like mimosa to begin with, and it was the first note to leave the chord. I kind of wondered why lime, juniper, or rose weren't used; are these products a ruse? The packaging is fanciful enough; but remembering something I once overheard: "he was really cute until he opened his mouth". Don't OD on this stuff - save your money.

One of my all time favorites!!! I need to get more!! Such a wonderfuly unusual mix of fresh, organic and clean smells:)

I absolutely adore this scent and was suprized to see all the terrible reviews! It just shows how much body composition can affect things. I get compliments on this all the time and people always ask me to repeat the name several times (I think the concept of wearing a "gin" scented perfume confuses them). Its very crisp without being too tomboyish or cold..the rosewater flower brings it back to being feminine and pretty. For night I like to layer a little Kabuki by Tokyo Milk and one last hint of this to take it into a night fragrance.

This is definitely the front runner in my quest for my signature scent.

I find that this has a cool, refreshing quality to it that I really like. I haven't encountered the dead fish note myself, although considering the number of people who HAVE found it does that, I'd definitely suggest a test run before you buy it.

I love this scent. I have no idea where one would get such a distinct smell as "dead fish" from. I get a light airy scent that is one I would wear as a break in between my usual heavy scents (prada, opium etc).

I happen to like it! It's something different in my perfume wardrobe. Yes, try before you buy as it isn't for everyone. I can even see where cloyd42 got the dead fish from, but it's just the way the nose/brain interprets things. To my nose the dead fish has lots of lemon juice on it. Don't get the rosewater. I don't think I'll get another bottle but will happily finish this one off.

Oh dear, she's right. The lemon went away and left a rotting mackerel behind. This is a perfume disaster.

I am not a fan of this perfume. I like gin, but I guess IMO it doesn't work in a perfume. And you can really smell the gin in this one. However, if someone else was wearing it, it might be ok.

This is quite possibly the worst perfume I have ever smelled. I have now tried it 4 times convinced that I couldn't possibly smelling the note that I'm now convinced is DEAD FISH. (My husband's comment: "dear god, what is that?") I usually adore scents with strong alcohol scents (Wood & Absinth, Bourbon Vanille, etc) so I was excited about a scent that I thought would smell like a martini made with sweet vermouth or a gin rickey. Instead I'm going to wrap this in two plastic bags before I throw it out so there will be no chance of it getting on ANYTHING I OWN. There's a chance it's a bad bottle or something weird in my chemistry but I would advise trying a sample before you buy it.
