Om produkten

Fragrance given as a present is usually a gamble, and Moschino Toy Boy 2 Eau de Parfum Gift Set is a bigger gamble than most, because the scent inside is bitter, spicy and nothing like the safe choices on the same shelf. What is in it is coffee and spice. Saffron starts it, dry and leathery, with ginger, black pepper, nutmeg and cardamom arriving at once in a cloud of dry spice. Coffee comes next, roasted and unsweetened, and it is the thing the whole scent is remembered for. Cedarwood keeps the middle dry, geranium adds a green, minty edge, cistus a resinous warmth with a faintly animal side, and akigalawood a peppery smokiness. Vetiver and myrrh finish it rooty and resinous, with no sweetness at all anywhere in the structure. So give it to a man who already wears something dark and spiced, or to somebody who complains that most men's fragrance smells the same. Do not give it to a man who wears nothing but citrus in summer, because he will find it heavy going. As an eau de parfum it lasts well, so one bottle survives a long time at a spray or two a day. Boxed, it presents well for a birthday or Christmas, and what comes inside is determined by the house, so read the listing before you decide what you are wrapping. The bottle itself keeps the familiar Toy outline, which is half the appeal of giving one. A boxed set also survives being posted, which a loose bottle does not always manage. The label is Italian and dates from 1983, Franco Moschino's first year of womenswear.
