Candy Apple
Grass
Kids Boy
Clover, grass and licorice are not materials you expect to find in a children's fragrance, and they are what make Tous Kids Boy Eau de Toilette 100ml more interesting than most of its shelf.
It opens green and bright. Clover has a soft green sweetness with a cut stem quality behind it, neroli is clean and bitter beside it, and mandarin orange adds a sweet rind lift that is the most obviously child friendly thing in the opening. Neroli is the material that keeps it from being merely sweet, and it is an unusually grown up choice for a scent sold to children.
The middle is the playful part. Candy apple is sweet and glossy, a toffee coated fruit sweetness rather than a fresh apple one, and grass runs straight through it, green and cut and faintly sharp. That pairing of sweet and green is the whole idea of the scent and it is handled lightly. Grass is the material that will make an adult smile, because it smells exactly like what it says it is.
Licorice and musk finish it. The licorice is sweet and dark with a faintly medicinal edge, more root than sweetshop, and musk keeps the close soft and clean. Seven materials in total, composed by Domitille Michalon Bertier and Juliette Karagueuzoglou. Nothing in it is strong, and nothing in it is cloying.
Eau de toilette is the correct strength for this: light, easy, and gone in a few hours rather than lingering on a school jumper. It is made for boys and it smells like it, green and sweet without being sugary. Known above all for jewellery and for the bear that marks it, the company is Spanish, puts its own start at 1920 and a teenage Salvador Tous Blavi learning watch repair, and still runs from Manresa.
