Toy 2 Gummy
Hazelnut is not a common material in mainstream perfumery, and it is the reason Moschino Toy 2 Gummy Eau de Parfum smells unlike the rest of the line and unlike most of what sits next to it on a shelf.
Bergamot and blood orange open it, and the blood orange matters: it is darker and slightly more bitter than ordinary orange, closer to the juice than the peel, and it sets the scent up to be sweet rather than sharp. Hazelnut arrives almost immediately, roasted and buttery, and then praline takes that idea further into caramelised sugar and toasted nuts. Akigalawood is the oddity in the middle. It is a modern material, dry and peppery with a faint smokiness, and here it does the essential job of keeping the sweetness from turning into a dessert trolley. The base is where the quality shows. Myrrh is resinous and faintly medicinal, almost bitter, benzoin adds a soft balsamic sweetness, vanilla rounds everything off, and musk holds the whole thing against the skin. The combination of resin and nut is what gives it a grown up finish, and it is why this wears better in the evening than its name suggests.
Eau de parfum strength gives it real staying power, six hours or more with a close trail after the second hour. It is sweet but not loud, so it works in company, and cold weather suits it far better than heat, which exaggerates the sugar. It reads feminine, though sweet scents of this type are worn widely by anyone who likes them.
The house is Italian. Its perfumes are made in Milan by Euroitalia, the licensee from 1987 onwards and, since a purchase from Aeffe completed in September 2024, the owner of the Moschino name in perfume and cosmetics.
