Tokyomilk Eau De Parfum Discovery Set, 6 Fragrances In 0.23 Fl. Oz. Bottles – Perfume For Women, Mini Sampler Women’S Gift Sample Size Perfumes

I have wanted to try Tokyo Milk perfumes for a long time and when I saw this discovery set, I had to have it. I wish Tokyo Milk made more discovery scents for the rest of their collection. My reviews for each scent are below, though keep in mind that perfume plays differently on everyone's skin and everyone has a difference preference for scents. :) 10 Honey & The Moon (Notes: Sweet Honey, Sugared Violet, Jasmine, Sandalwood): If you love the scent of honey, get this! I am considering buying a full bottle after I finish this sample size. It smells exactly like honey, not too floral either. I do want to try layering this with other perfumes because I find the scent kind of simple and won't complicate the perfume with too many notes. 15 French Kiss (Notes: Mandarin, Tuberose, Gardenia, Vetiver): It is a nice floral perfume. I'm more into gourmand or fruity florals than a perfume consisting of mostly florals, but I do like these florals so if you also like the same flowers you may enjoy this perfume. 12 Gin & Rosewater (Notes: Citrus Zest, Rosewood, Mimosa, Mandarin): I was expecting a citrus and rose scent perfume, but the rosewood is overpowered by all the citrus scents in this perfume. I don't detect rose from the rosewood at all. Maybe rosewood is very weak on my skin. I do love citrus so I don't mind missing the rose note. 09 Kabuki (Notes: Lychee, Sugared Grapefruit, Sweet Jasmine, Warm Vanilla): This is the most interesting and unique perfume for me. Maybe I haven't smelled lychee that much in perfumes. The lychee is very sweet and candy-like smelling. Then I can't pinpoint what, but I think the sugared grapefruit kind of tones the lychee sweetness down for me and almost gives it a powdery/medicinal smell on my skin? Not what I expected grapefruit to smell like. I can't decide if I love this perfume or I love how unique it is from the rest of my collection. 06 Dead Sexy (Notes: Deep Vanilla, Exotic Wood, White Orchid, Ebony): This is the first perfume I saw from Tokyo Milk when I discovered them and had higher hopes for it, but it smell on my skin as I expected. For all other perfumes in this collection, I typically pick up the notes in the order they are written in the box, but for Dead Sexy I smelled the Vanilla at the very end. I also expected to smell the Vanilla throughout the perfume, but I can only smell it at the end. I'm not sure if the woods are overpowering or the vanilla doesn't appear until later. I have tried other perfumes focusing on woods, so it may just be my skin makes wood scents very strong. This perfume comes off very strong, smoky, and woody on me. I've played violin and I expected "woody" to smell like a wooden instrument or the wood of a pencil, but it smells very smoky on me, too strong and masculine. I can see this as a unisex and even masculine perfume, but really I think all perfume is unisex if you love it. When the vanilla comes out, I love it. I personally wish the woods would be toned down and the vanilla amped up on my skin, because I would buy it for the vanilla scent. It ends in a soft, delicious scent. I understand why some people in the reviews that don't typically love floral, or sweet perfume that is marketed toward women would love this. If you are into more masculine leaning and heavy scents, this may one you want to try! 11 Let Them Eat Cake (Notes: Sugar Cane, Coconut Milk, White Musk): I loved this perfume more than Dead Sexy, but sweets are more to my taste than a heavy, smoky, and slightly choking me perfume (though maybe I have a sensitivity to scents). If you don't like sweets it may be too sweet, and the sugar cane is really making it sweet. I do wonder if pairing this with Dead Sexy would make Dead Sexy more comfortable for me to wear.

I was having a hard time deciding which scent to go for in the full size and didn’t want to go in blind, so I went for the sampler! Let me tell you, I love almost all of these. And one is my new favorite smell ever! 1. Kabuki - my favorite! I’m obsessed! I’ll be getting the full size of this one. Best way I can describe it is a fresh clean powder, and it smells how juicy fruit gum tastes. It’s very sweet but also not overpowering. 2. Honey and the Moon - my next favorite. No way to describe this other than it literally smells like honey. Not icky artificial honey smell, like it actually smells like a chunk of honeycomb. 3. Dead sexy - I also really like this one. It’s definitely got the vanilla smell but it’s way more woody and musky. Also for some reason it vague reminds me of old doll plastic, and I mean that in the best way possible. It’s gotten several compliments already. 4. Savage Belle - this one I won’t wear too often because it smells FANCY. This reminds me of one of my grandma’s old perfumes from when I was a kid going through her powder room. It’s elegant and very classy but also something I’d only wear to a nice dinner out. 5. Gin and Rosewater - Very citrusy. Reminds me of an old mandarin orange body spray I used to have. Very clean and zesty. I’m not a huge citrus scent person so it’s not my favorite, but I can see others loving this one. 6. Let them eat cake- this is the only one I don’t care for. It literally just smells like warm vanilla sugar. I sniffed this and then my body spray and they smell nearly identical. If you’re going to drop 58 bucks on a full sized bottle of perfume, I’d recommend one of the other more unique smells. There’s nothing offensive about this one, it just smells generic. Hope this helps!

In my opinion, Dead Sexy is the only good one. I had ordered the one oz. size and the shower gel, and was excited to try the rest. French Kiss was alright, something I’d put on after a shower but wouldn’t wear out. Kabuki and Let Them Eat Cake were just basic. Gin and Rosewater smells exactly like alcohol. It smells like you just left the bar and tried to spray some type of floral scent on to cover it. Honey and the Moon deserves its own paragraph. I don’t know if I got a bad batch or what, but it literally smelled like a moldy wet basement. I’m not trying to be mean or funny, but it was so repulsive I had to wash it off. That one had me gagging. Overall I’m still glad I tried it. I’m just going to stay in my lane with Dead Sexy, I actually just bought the full size one. It is a scent like no other and enough for me to continue to support the brand.

The scents on these are incredible. Honey and the moon I keep smelling myself when I have it on and it’s such a nice honey smell, not overpowering but not so little that it’s not there. Also let them eat cake is such an amazing gourmand I think I will buy the full size of it . Gin and rose water is incredibly fresh and would be such a great summer scent as well. The only one that really wasn’t great for me was the dead sexy , I really only could smell the alcohol. The only complaint I have about the packaging is that they’re not in little spray bottles, it’d just make application a little easier . But they are so beautiful in their mini bottles .

Love these scents. They do lack longevity, but at the price point I can reapply. Honey and the moon and Gin and Rosewater are faves. I bought this as a gift to introduce a loved one to the brand. Arrived on time and in perfect condition.
