Kabuki Tokyo Milk Parfumarie Curiosite for women and men

This is really nice. What I like about Tokyo Milk perfumes is that they are derived from natural ingredients, and never a smell of alcohol.
I def smell all the wonderful notes, Sugared Grapefruit, Lychee & Sweet Jasmine. Lychee sticks with me the most. I think this can be worn by anyone, at any age, at any time of the year. :) Enjoy!

I bought this back in June, but didn't use it much at first. I wasn't sure if I really like it, because I hardly ever wear any real perfume. The other day I used it and one of my students told me that I smelled good, like caramel. Guess I'll wear it more often from now on!

full disclosure: i'm a gourmand. kabuki smells like a baby~ a delicious baby! soft, vanill-ish, maybe powdery, with a *very* slight floral- and i dislike florals in general. i would agree with the posts that there is very little, if any grapefruit. not sure what lychee smells like, but the sweetness likely comes from it. so i went into a boutique & tried the ENTIRE tokyo milk line- including the darks. (i sprayed my way through 4 bottles of honey & the moon in a few short months, so i knew i'd be a fan of at least some of the others!) when i read 'grapefruit,' calyx came to mind (from the 90's) so i originally put it down, then something said, hey, you drove all the way to this boutique- may as well at least sample it. well, it's just ETHEREAL, like something an angel might wear! i would classify as gourmand, but not overly, like aquolina's pink sugar. if i had to compare it to another scent, it would be coquette tropique. i wish a had enough to fill a tub full of it every day to soak in~ i'm smitten!

love it! so sweet and delicious! sparkles on my skin! truly amazing!

Definitely a citrus - sweet fragrance. I also get a hint of vanilla, almost no jasmine, at least not the true essential jasmine I'm used to, there is a hint of a floral somewhere. I'm not too familiar with lichii other than dried. The sour note is the pomegranate and citrus. Who would have thought to put citrus and sweet together like this. I bought the skin lotion along with it to make it last longer and the only place I have ever seen it is in one of the airport shops. Good thing I travel alot because I like this one. I have ordered Let Them Eat Cake for me and am curious if it will be something like Demeter's many cakes and sweets fragrances.

I was actually pretty bemused when I read what is in this, becuase to me it smells like a batch of sugar cookies with hints of almond and cherry. I finally bought a bottle after weeks of spraying the tester on and I am so happy with it. Its very comforting and lasts for hours. :]

Smells very sweet and candy-like. If you are into sweet gourmand scents, you have a good chance of loving it! I have a near full bottle that I am thinking of swapping for something in my "loves" or "wants"... please PM me if interested!

smells AMAZING in the bottle, but for some reason once it's on my skin it loses all of it's citrusy warmth and just becomes stinky, overpowering, and nauseatingly-sweet. maybe it doesn't react well with my body chemistry.

I found this perfume overwhelming when I first smelt it out of the bottle. Once applied it was much more pleasant. The lychee is the main note, however, once applied to the skin, the citrus becomes much more evident. The scent is sweet and is great for day time hours. I personally like to mix it with Poe's Tobacco, the two scents meld wonderfully as one is a little sultry, while this one is light.

burnt sugar - caramel but not quite....

I don't get any of the citrus when I wear this at all. Even smelling from the bottle or paper I don't smell it. To me the sweetness is very very warm like straight from the oven sweet breads or a rich creme brulee. Its quite intoxicating. It doesn't suit me alone so I layer it with TM Gin & Rosewater for a bit more crispness and edge.

I want to give another review on this perfume. I gave this another chance and I have to say this is really pretty delicious. Where French Kiss has almost a masculine smell, and I want Cake has an edible vanilla sugar smell, this perfume is just very sweet, very feminine and the litchi stands out here. I have to say that I think this is one of my favorites from Tokyo Milk so I needed to update my review

I think this smells a lot like the other scent by tokyo milk, I want cake, and I actually prefer I want cake better. Both scents have a little bit of a similarity to Bath and Body Vanilla Sugar. I think this fragrance might be a little sweeter and candylike in comparison to I want cake, but since I prefer the smell of warm vanilla sugar over candy I like I want cake more. I can almost say Kabuki is a cross between French Kiss and I want Cake. Allthough not a bad fragrance by any means, since I already have French Kiss and I want Cake I really don't need Kabuki

Yes I like the French Kiss from the Tokyo Milk line and let me tell you its great. I sprayed it on a jacket of mine a week ago and put the jacket on this morning and the fragrance is still there. Its wonderful! Need to find it and buy it! Love it!

Don't waste your time reading the notes attributed to this scent. Perhaps that's actually what went into the bottle but it has nothing to do with how the perfume smells. It's delightfully sweet with a bit of alcohol bite but none of the usual tartness that comes with citrus, none of the "juice" that litchi usually brings. It's also extremely smooth without any layering--once it warms on your skin it will remain constant until it finally fades (lasts well BTW). The closest I can come to describing it would be a martini with pomegranate or blood orange in it. If you like perfumes with a liqueur note (Lacroix Absynthe, Ungaro Apparition, etc) you will almost certainly like this.

This is a very mouth wateringly sweet scent. There is no way this could be considered unisex. I get honey, honey, honey, with little sugared fruit of some sort mixed in. If there is grapefruit in this mix, it is so disguised with all the sugar it is indiscernible to me.

I was pretty geared up to have this one be my favorite out of the whole line. All of the notes listed are among my favorites, and I could imagine a way they'd be interesting together. Unfortunately, this is actually the first in the line that I actively dislike.

Grapefruit, even sugared grapefruit, to my mind should smell crisp and tart and fresh. This doesn't. I'd heard that it smelled more like orange or lemon than grapefruit and I'd have been fine with that, but to me it doesn't smell like citrus of any kind. I can't really make out lychee at all, and, well, I know and love lychee pretty well. I'd also heard it was a candy scent, which is fine with me. And it sort of is, but to me this comes out smelling like bubblegum rather than a fruit candy. Maybe that's just the way it works with my chemistry, but I couldn't get past that impression.

All that being said I can see how lots of people would like it. It's very feminine and sweet and playful. It's not really bad, just not to my taste and really, really not what I was expecting. On the other hand I've found that I quite like Tokyo Milk's Lapsang Su Chong, which I've never seen anyone review and I've never seen any store stock. Seeing as I impulse-ordered that one without ever smelling it and decided to wait until Kabuki came in to a local store so I could test it first, I'm glad that it wasn't the other way around.

This is pretty sweet. I don't smell the grapefruit at all. The citrus scent is faint. A very sweet sugary orangy smell. Also there is a vanilla scent, which is not listed. Perhaps that is the litchi. It's not very strong, and I am worried that it will not last long.
I would have called this a floral fuity fragrance, or a oriental vanilla. I actully love this scent.
Tokyo Milk has another scent which is very good called French Kiss. It is not listed here.

I love love love this scent. It is a delicious fruity floral. The sunny citrus notes make it very good for summer. I did not like it at first spray, it was initially very sweet-tart but after about 15 minutes I could not stop smelling myself and went back for it. The grapefruit wears off some after a few minutes, letting the jasmine come through. I will admit that something about this reminds me of a fruity hard candy - thank goodness the floral notes balance it out. It mellows well. Lasts pretty well, too, a few hours on me. Very uplifting, always puts me in a happy mood.

I love candy type scents. This is candy without any burnt sugar or plastic or musk! I am in HEAVEN! I LOVE this. I bought a 2nd bottle immediately upon receiving my first. This scent opens just as the note description appears. "Sugared grapefruit, lychee and sweet jasmine crushed and distilled to perfection." It is the way I imagined that FRESH Sugar Lyche Perfume would be (but isn't). To me, this Kabuki scent is very close to the FRESH Sugar Lyche lotion (which is much better then the FRESH perfume that is supposed to match) ! PLEASE make this forever! Lasts about 3-4 hours on the skin.

Definitely a sweet citrus. There is a little bit of a tart grapefruit, but tons of sugar to sweeten it up. The litchi does not come through much to me, maybe a touch in the background. As with many citrus fragrances, the lasting power is a bit weak, somewhere between 1-2 hrs. A very good daytime, warm weather fragrance.

Oh my, this is a lovely scent. Sweet, yes, but sweetly exotic. The initial notes are citrus, but they are not very clear. Is it lemon, is it orange? The ingredient list says grapefruit, but that's not what I get. There is no sharpness to the citrus. After about ten minutes, it turns mellow and the initial sweetness becomes warm honey. I like it.

Where would I wear it? It's a perfect day scent for spring or summer. Not too loud for the office or anywhere you'll be in close contact with people. It stays close to the skin, but not so close that you don't know it's there.
