Toy 2 Yummy
The name sets an expectation that Moschino Toy 2 Yummy Eau de Parfum does not meet, and that is good news: what is recorded here is a peppery flower scent rather than a sugary one.
Mandarin orange and bergamot open it, sweet and bright for a few minutes without any confectionery about them. Then the pepper arrives in two forms. Timut pepper is the interesting one, a Nepalese berry with a sharp, bright citric bite on top of the heat, and black pepper sits beneath it, drier and dustier. Between them they give the middle a prickle that most scents aimed at this market would never risk. Geranium adds a green, slightly minty rose edge and sambac jasmine supplies the richness, heavier and more honeyed than ordinary jasmine. The close is simple: rose for softness and vetiver for a dry, rooty finish. Eight materials in all, so there is no long evolution to wait for, and what you smell after twenty minutes is what you keep.
At eau de parfum strength it holds for five or six hours and stays reasonably close, which suits an office better than a party. It works year round, leans feminine without insisting on it, and it is the bottle to pick from this line if sweetness is the thing you normally avoid. The name suggests a sweet scent and this is not one, so anyone avoiding it on that basis is missing a decent peppery fragrance.
The Italian house opened in 1983 and has been creatively directed by others since 1994, Rossella Jardini first. Its perfume and cosmetics trademark was bought outright from Aeffe in September 2024 by Euroitalia, which has made the perfumes in Milan since 1987.
