Description
The second fragrance by Moschino under the creative director Jeremy Scott (the first one being Toy from 2014) comes out in October 2015 under the name Moschino Fresh Couture, inspired by the spring 2016 fashion collection.
“The concept for this fragrance was to juxtapose the most mundane and commonplace of all products, the household cleaner, with something so precious – the juice of a luxury brand’s fragrance.
Taking the iconography of a bottle that has no aspirational value and using it as the inspiration for a vessel to contain something so luxurious and haute couture, creates the ultimate dichotomy of high and low. What could be more Moschino than that?”
A surprising and ironic product, Fresh Couture fragrance plays with fresh and joyful accents. Its sparkling top notes of mandarin and bergamot are enriched with exotic ylang-ylang. Juicy raspberry provides contrast to the floral heart of velvety white peony and osmanthus. The base underscores refined and modern character of the perfume with accords of clear woods, white patchouli and ambrox.
The face of the campaign shot by Steven Meisel is a supermodel Linda Evangelista. The fun and ironic bottle is designed in the form of a cleaning product. It is housed in an elegant coffret made of fine materials , including a touch of golden detailing.
The fragrance is available as 30, 50 and 100 ml Eau de Toilette.
The nose behind this fragrance is Alberto Morillas.

I love this perfume! It might not be my signature, but it’s my first option when it’s sunny outside. The smell is very fresh and flowery but doesn’t smell like a flowerbomb, or febreeze. I don’t find any fruity notes in it.
The people who hate the bottle or don’t “get it”, probably expect another boring bottle that just says “expensive”. Google Moschino. They’ve always designed crazy, ironic, irreverent things.
I think Twiggy or some funky girl would’ve worn this at a psychedelic party in the 60’s or at The Factory. The bottle is something collectors will try to find 30 or 40 years from now.

This bottle is the perfect example that the fashion world goes somethimes really crazy in a really bad way!! Awful way of chosing to be different,bleah..
Gai1945 – :
I’ll be honest – I did not buy this for the smell, but rather because of the bottle design – as an interesting enough addition to my collection of perfume miniatures. But now when I have tested it – it’s a pleasant scent, rather typical for it’s category of fresh scents – clean, citrusy, moderately sweet, a bit woodsy and actually wearable.
JelenaZuvela – :
I love fresh perfumes, yet I’ve never been able to wear light blue. All the notes and descriptions made it seem like it would be right up my alley, but sadly I can’t stand the way it develops on my skin. This perfume is what I’ve always wanted out of the classic Light Blue. Refreshing, a little sharp, but then a little bit of spice in the dry down.
Welmevilams – :
This scent was dull and unimpressive. I also didn’t like the packaging. I think it’s tacky and would be a terrible eyesore in a perfume collection. A cleaning bottle, really? Someone might confuse this for Windex!!!! The sent is nothing special to me and is similar to something you would find at a drug store. I could say more about this but overall the scent is very boring.
Flazping – :
I hate Light blue, so obviously I hate this one as well. Someone wrote it smells like coming out of the shower – maybe, if you have really dull shower gel.
Not that I don’t understand fresh perfumes (although I really don’t like them), but I don’t get it why would you spend so much money, when you can just take a shower. The result is the same.
Besides the bottle (which is also a steal from Lush), this is REALLY boring.
penah0 – :
Okay okay okay I have to start by saying that 1) Fresh scents are my favourite and 2) the bottle on this suckered me right in! So I’ve been eyeballing this online for ages now and not where in my city sells this brand so when I found this…OMG I found a gift pack of it….it had the 100mls size bottle, a 15mls rollerball, 100mls bath shower gel as well as lotion for $52.99 Canadian!!!!! I just about screamed my face off lol I of course bought it! And I’m so happy with it. It smells clean fresh citrusy and oh so so good! Now, I am having issues with allergies right now but I find this isn’t lasting as long as I expected it to, but again likely he allergies. Anywho….if you like fresh scents or even light aquatics than buy this gem!!!
bender5313 – :
I have already reviewed this fragrance, but here’s an update. I often swap fragrances with my hubby; I steal his Guerlain Vetiver, L’Occitan Eau de Cade and Versace Eau Fraiche, while he loves my florals and aquatics: he has used up full bottles of TF Black Orchid, Davidoff Cool Water for women etc. (But, for example, he would never touch my Nasomatto Black Afgano cuz he thinks it’s horrible!) Nine out of ten times my fragrances work much better on his skin, because I have very cold and dry skin that eats any scent right up, while he is a big and warm-skinned guy, hence most scents radiate much better off his skin and last longer. This shows that, when it comes to fragrance, gender tags are completely irrelevant – wear what you like and don’t worry if it’s packed in a pink or a blue bottle.
The word ‘bottle’ now brings me neatly to the protagonist of this post, that is Moschino Fresh Couture. I recently bought this fragrance very cheaply and started wearing it as an ‘everyday bergamot’. Then one day my husband saw the ‘window cleaner’ bottle, cracked up when I told him it’s a perfume, and had to try it. And, no surprises – it works much better on his skin; suddenly it’s not just ‘everyday bergamot’, but a wonderful zesty floral, with peony and ylang really standing out. Ergo, this funny bottle promptly ended up on his shelf. The only problem is that he tends to overspray, so I reckon he’ll finish off a 30ml bottle in less than a month. But as long as he is happy and smells good, I’m not complaining.
armeec26 – :
I’ve been searching for a perfume and I just can’t figure out what I want lol? I know I’ve been in the mood for a variety of scents lol. Like the smell of Gain but Not tart, sharp, tangy, yet, I love the the smell of my car freshener (I know crazy lol) It’s called coconut the Orange color, people had said to me at drive threw, like the bank,the pharmacy, etc, “something smells good and its coming from you or your car”.
I happen to stumble across this! I could not believe that it’s having the bottle look like Windex! Haha. what great collection and story to tell. I wouldn’t think it smells like Windex LOL
FStein – :
I have nothing to say about the scent, since I have not sniffed it. But that one is seriously THE coolest bottle in the world!
I want that perfume, just because of the bottle. But since I’m a guy and definately don’t like fresh scents either, I don’t think I will buy it.
But the bottle is bingo and jackpot at once!
viktorkub – :
I love clean scents but Fresh is little too fresh and sterile. It lasts all day on clothes and it makes you feel like you just walk out of shower. Need to try it few more times. It attracts me and repulses at same time. Weird.
vegeboake – :
How can people not like this?!! It’s sorta similar to light blue.
1) cutest bottle ever!
2) smells out-of-the-shower fresh!
3) long-lasting
Slimper – :
I really loved the bottle – it’s funny to me and quite cute in a weird way, but unfortunately the smell is acrid to me. It’s very high-key and sweet with a ‘clean’ note that really rings false/chemical. The longevity and sillage is, as is often the case with fragrances that don’t appeal, EXTREMELY good.
Like, I scrubbed and scrubbed, and it didn’t fade away. My husband could smell it across the room and also did not like it. Suppose it’s just not to our taste, or maybe my body chemistry turned something way, way up. It’s a shame, because I really wanted to at least like it. Unfortunately for me I’d rather smell like actual Windex.
kelevro – :
This is actually a very good perfume. I guess that the risk of releasing this scent in such a quirky bottle didn’t really pay off, because lots of people ignored it or didn’t take it seriously. But this is a nice and reasonably priced everyday fragrance, and surprisingly long lasting.
GapareeBeehit – :
Just got I and I love it. So refreshing, young and happy and the bottle is adorable. Almost missed buying it becuase the box was just a plain white box without the perfume name on it. Then Csme here to research the perfume and found it was this one which I had in my wishlist for a while. Tsi g this on vacation to the Caribbean next week. So excited. Love the Ambroxan note in perfumes so this is a plus. Wondering about the the sillage too.
VLADISLAV123MBB – :
Why doesn’t the box have the name of the scent? I saw this in Marshall’s in the men’s section also perplexing and I didn’t even know what scent it was.
Vigoda – :
I really love this!!! I just received it a few days ago and I’ve been wearing it ever since. It’s very fresh, citrusy, and light on the florals, which is good because I don’t like strong floral perfumes. I would think that this one would be good for well, anywhere, but it would definitely be a good one for wearing to work, school, or a get together of some kind. And such a fun and cute bottle! It’s a very well made perfume.
yurmash – :
As much as I like seeing interesting bottles and quirky concepts I think in this case it did not work in favor for me.
I was very interested to try this scent, especially after someone on the board described it as a very pretty peony scent. I got a spray sample from sephora, and while I do smell mandarin oranges and peony, I can’t shake this feeling of windex. I’m not sure if I’m psyching myself out and this is a case of mind over matter, but really something about this DOES remind me of glass cleaner in a bad way. I suspect it’s bergamot, ylang ylang, ambroxan…some kind of weird combination that does it for me?
I don’t hate it, but I suppose I could never buy it.
DьяvoL – :
I sampled this in store. To be honest, the only thing that made me look twice was the cute and quirky bottle. The scent is rather generic, if nice, but for the price I gave this one a pass. If this was a $10 item I’d have snapped it up for the bottle alone, but as it is, it was not worth it to me. I’d rather get a couple of rollerballs or a sampler pack instead.
Donduell – :
This smells exactly, and I do mean exactly, like I expected of a fragrance that comes out of a windex bottle. I don’t mean that as a criticism. I love fresh scents. When I thought about what I was expecting before I first sprayed this, what came out was pretty much exactly what I was imagining. The reason for this, I suspect, is because it’s a very close dupe of a Bath and Body Works fragrance, Fresh Sparkling Snow. I’ve been using that shower gel lately (though I am using the 2015 vintage, even though it’s now New Years, 2017) and the smells are almost identical. I get some pear notes from Fresh Couture, though pear is not listed in the notes. I think my brain may be translating raspberry+peony into pear. Wear time is quite good on this fragrance, much better than many other fresh scents I’ve used. This is a fresh, fruity scent that is cold enough to be suitable for winter. Overall, I’m really enjoying this quirky little scent.
sergor85 – :
Cutest bottle ever. And since Moschino has yet to fail me, i decided to open my Fresh Couture packaging. Name of the fragrance sums it up in my opinion. It’s classy and fresh. Could be worn from all ages, I’d say it’s unisex as well, but mostly I see it on teens and younger ages.
Sillage is medium, after four hours it stays close to the skin. Longevity is medium as well. Well, it’s an EDT, what do you expect?
Personally, i like it. I will definitely wear it in the summer months. Day and night. There is nothing innovative, but the fragrance overall in not disappointing. There are a lot of similar fragrances in the market; the first one that comes to my mind is Eros Pour Femme Versace (minus the patchouli), but i like Fresh Couture better.
The notes seem inconsistent in the development.It opens sweet and fresh; it strikes me that bergamot and mandarin orange can come off sweet, but let’s roll with it. Then it turns quickly into raspberry. After that it’s peony and yland ylang. I can’t seem to detect the osmanthus, and honestly i don’t care, the fragrance is beautiful either way. I’d expect more prominent woods and i assume a lot of the sweetness comes from the ambroxan. The drydown though is citruces with a herbal patchouli. As the time passes the patchouli is what becomes prominent and doesn’t fade, as peony and yland ylang will do.
I wish this was an EDP. Seriously Moschino should make an EDP out of it.
P.S.: I seriously underestimated the patchouli here. I wish the sillage was better so it would leave a trail! It’s the most prominent note on me right now, after five hours of wear. Intense patchouli, which as always turns incense-y on my skin. Oh, I’m really glad!
bradis2010 – :
Well I am in the camp that if you’ve been around a while or have sniffed many a fragrance, this will be nothing new for you. A very ‘average’ perfume, nothing special. I guess if you are a collector and dig the bottle design, this might be worth your while. But for most people, I don’t think this is anything special nor unique, fragrance-wise.
I feel like pretty much every designer/fragrance line has a similar fragrance to this, and most with better lasting power. I do not detect mush citrus in this. Not much floral, either, not much fruity. I guess all three just combine to a very blah fragrance for me. I do get the sweetness but not the freshness, which I was kind of hoping to get the freshness from this. All in all, very average.
bigsam – :
About a month ago I got a sample but I wasn’t very interested in reviewing the perfume.
As with most moschino items, packaging with a shocking factor play a major role. But sometimes I feel this things are done by a teenager from the early 90’s, you know, quite basic, tacky and predictable.
The fragrance is nice but nothing out of the ordinary. The opening is fresh, like a cologne, then slowly the light woods take over.
In a practically saturated market, I don’t think Fresh Couture could survive. The need for a novelty packaging may get some attention but that’s not guarantee for success.
Final note, you can find plenty of similar scents around.
321lol123 – :
I’m not usually one to buy perfumes just for the pretty/original packaging but oh my, I fell in love with this one! I didn’t really care what it smelled like, I had to have this bottle, the kitsch concept is really fun . I was happy to see that it is citrucy fresh type of frag based on the reviews here so I went for it in a heartbeat. (blind buy)
Now honest review: yes, loved the bottle in person too, but the fragrance is a bit disappointing: I was expecting something a lot more original to come out of this bottle. It is not bad and I will certainly wear it as I like citrus frags, but really.. it is very very generic, yes, it smells like floor cleaner a bit, yes, a bit artificial lemony.Don’t get me wrong, it’s nice and wearable, great for day wear for sure, love the bitterness of the lemon (more like lime), love the bergamot and the woodsy notes but I don’t smell anything else, it doesn’t evolve much from there. Longevity is decent. It smells decently masculine to me too, like cologne and generic one at that..so.. not a love, but a meh-like for me.
For now Burberry Beat is still a fave in the citrus based frags that I have(although its poor longevity)
Лорд – :
I’d wanted to try Moschino Fresh fragrance for a while. Cute packaging and sounded like I’d like it. Got lucky Sephora offered a sample. This is a like for me, not a love. Seemed much like I expected, a fun super fresh citrus scent. My better half didn’t like it much so I probably won’t buy any. It reminded me of something I smelled before that I realized I have in my possession. An EDT from an Italian brand Perlier. It is called Oops and is part of their La Voglia Line, not often seen in the US. A friend who visited Italy brought me some lovely gifts including Oops. Not a dupe but a similar type of fresh bursting citrus fruity mix. Since I far prefer the more obvious berry notes in Oops I will continue to covet that rare option, not even listed here on Fragrantica. :/
ketrinsweet44 – :
I had seen in every single shop I’ve recently visited, but was never eager to try it, as the bottle is really ugly (and this is despite the fact that I love most moschino perfumes). Today I decided to give a try to a sample I’ve had since 3 months or so and here’s my review:
This was a good surprise! at first sniff reminded me of classique X, because of intense citrus/orange notes. soon raspberry appears and makes it mouth watering.
I’m a typical floral/fruity/citrus admirer, so this is the type of scent I usually don’t get tired of. but I also can imagine more sophisticated noses liking it, as it is not too sweet, but FRESH with loads of citrus note. so definitely proper for summer.
I’m still unsure about longevity and sillage, but most moschino perfumes are not very long-lasting with monster sillage, so I guess this one is no exception too.
much better than my regular cleanser bottle, even though the bottle was a novel idea, I wouldn’t buy because of that bottle, even if it contained the best perfume I’ve ever tried.
5995812TAV – :
I really hate the bottle design. Every time I used it I’d be reminded of spraying cleaning product over a dirty surface.
I’m curious to know whether they would put a men’s cologne in a cleaning bottle.
Golubok – :
This smells totally fine 🙂
I mean there’s nothing about it that’s really unique but at least it isn’t offensive. I wanted to like Toy so bad but it’s disgusting! At least now one of their cute bottles is wearable…
cellflacceboolice – :
Received a sample of this in the mail tonight and all I can say is it is probably nice for someone but it’s a complete tosser for me. Bottle is cute but the juice embodies everything I despise about modern perfumery.
olnnhprgfn – :
I have to admit the bottle suckered me into buying this one though the fragrance is really nice. It is fresh and sweet, a bit like I Love Love with more sweetness. The bottle is adorable.
igoranach – :
Really really fun bottling design. The openning is great for me, sounds really fresh and captures me in a way.. The drydown is not that good though, felt like a cloying feminin essence of plenty of ‘fresh’ women frags out there and looses its top notes’ freshness / cleaness. Quite low sillage and longevity. Not bad, not great yet a really funny bottle.Liked!
alexfzr – :
This feels like Moschino’s new take on “I Love Love”. It’s fresh, young, and fun. Nothing super exciting and definitely nothing that hasn’t been done before. The packaging, however, is very creative! I am disappointed that the trigger spray is fake and the whole spray bottle is just part of the cap.

Review For The 50 ML Eau de Toilette
Fresh Couture by Moschino is a fun fragrance!
I saw an ad for it and have followed Moschino’s fashions during Milan Fashion Week enough to know that this label is all about experimentation, innovation and fun. There was a fashion show not too long ago with the models dressed like Barbie dolls in classic Barbie outfits. Other frags in this line come in bottles with the most unforgettable shape and designs. This one comes in the form of a Lysol or Windex bottle. The 50 ML is the exact same shape of a household cleaning product. I leave it in the bathroom on a shelf next to a real Lysol product!
This scent opens with a citrusy bergamot orange or mandarin orange and lemon that is a more fresh and fruity/perfumy version of the Lemon Breeze scented Lysol scent. It’s a good citric juice as it opens, but because it’s an EDT it’s a mist and doesn’t throw out too big a sillage and projection. So it’s sweet and subtle citrus and nothing like the big spray that is an actual Lysol bottle. The orange scent is accompanied by raspberry and honeysuckle. A delicious fruity floral first spritz.
I can still feel the citrus on my nose even when the floral notes emerge. A soft peony flower is the principal note. If you’ve experienced other peony notes in perfumes, this is a soft powdery floral scent that is very lovely and easy to wear. An ylang-ylang is also there, but it is almost like a mimosa or orange blossom scent, it has a citrusy floral type of air. It’s probably ylang but it has swum in the opening’s citruses. The name of the fragrance Fresh Couture is accurate in describing the fruity freshness and citrus lemony freshness of this perfume. As such it’s appropriate for summer because it’s so cool and fresh and fruity.
I don’t get what the ambroxan chemical note is and on me the dry down is soft woodsy notes, patchouli leaf and amber. If ambroxan is amber, this is not a bad amber. It’s clean and soapy. This is such a well composed fragrance and deserves credit for being one of the most delightful modern citrus based perfumes in the fragrance industry. I am loving it.
hxe950speagoessenda – :
The best thing about this fragrance is seeing the beautiful 80s supermodel Linda Evangelista doing her thing again. They’ve airbrushed the living daylights out of her but it made me realize how much I missed seeing her face around.
Yes, the bottle is unique as far as perfumes go but the whole concept just seems like such a 90s gimmicky thing to do. This would be more understandable if the juice itself was unique but it’s not – just smells like a generic scent that you’ve encountered a million times at the drugstore. Really nothing special at all.
pun4er1987 – :
Tested this just on paper and it was almost identical to lacoste touch of sun..a fresh warm weather scent which is kind of dry because of woods and has a delicate floralfruity sweetness,a combination of citruses,florals and woodsy notes and that’s it..itt
Gonna edit when I test it more carefully,but for now it’s meh,I really like it’s unique bottle and want to own it,but the scent…well,not that intresting
BIGGELS – :
this is already in sales in most shops,quite a commrcial flop
EvaliLoyali – :
I would not buy this item, I take great pride in my collection of fragrances and only purchases beautiful well crafted bottles with high quality juice inside. I fear this will be an almighty flop and although the marketing department were probably hoping it would be funny. I would not purchase as it looks like windowlene! A huge thumbs down from Decodawn.
NurlWoulsow – :
Oh my goodness this smells so good! I was browsing the fragrance counter at Lord&Taylor today and saw Fresh Couture from a mile away lol! I remembered seeing so many negative reviews of it on here and I just had to smell it for myself. I was shocked to see (or smell!) that it’s actually a gorgeous fragrance. Obviously the whole concept of this perfume is very kitschy, and I do think that is where most of the negative reviews are coming from- which is a shame because its honestly SO pretty! I’m kind of calling the kettle black because even though I love this perfume and I am in the market for a new fragrance, I didn’t seriously consider purchasing it for myself because of the bottle lol but it is very tempting and maybe I will end up picking it up!
Also when I was looking at it, an associate came over to me and said women had been spraying it on their glasses thinking it was windex which I thought was hilarious!
tor_rus_mmv – :
Oh what fun the bottle is. Yes it’s a great gag, but it would’ve been funnier if the stuff inside didn’t remind so much of floor cleaner. I think it’s the synthetic peony that’s got me again, headache on first spray. Just buy a bottle of Zoflora :/ Someone has said this reminds them of Fleur d’eau and the ozonic perfumes of the 90’s. It so does not me. Really don’t go here if that’s what you’re hoping for. Screechy generic slightly plastic floral with nothing to recommend it except it’s packaging. Here’s an idea for you for a perfumista friend’s birthday. Get an actual Zoflora bottle or other glass packaged cleaning product, empty it and wash it, then put a nice cheapy in it, SJP or a Britney one, anything. It’ll be the same joke but with a lovely punchline instead.
Predator_3377 – :
I love to take this out of my handbag when no one knows what this is. I can never be mistaken for a cleaning lady but everyone thinks I’m about to spray some Windex or Lysol on their face. This has a Lysol type of citrus based scent that smells like an ingredient in my boyfriend’s cologne Dior Sauvage: ambroxan. This chemical was going to kill it but they didn’t put too much of it. It’s like the sweetest nicest smelling fruity floral room spray for your house ever made. It has peony flower and strawberry so delicious. it’s girly. I love the fruit top note of citrus. This is a fun perfume. If you can have fun and not take yourself or your perfumes to seriously this is a real treat. I love to spritz this on on warm days. I live in California where it can get 90-100 in summer time and to freshen up I spritz on this little cleaning product. So good!
kolevatov55 – :
this is good for collection purposes, like me. the bottles is unique. lol
vlad1976 – :
Alright, so the dislike bar is clearly hitting the sealing because of the bottle.
Fragrance itself is quite similar to other floral Moschino releases such as Funny, I love love or Oh…de Moschino – all inoffensive, casual summertime crowd pleasers. Is that really that bad? Nothing groundbreaking, but far from smelling THAT bad. I know I’ve sniffed worse (so have you, probably).
Smamliaikerok – :
Fresh Couture suits it’s name and bottle design, as whilst the top and heart notes are fresh, clean and slightly retro in style, the base notes add warmth and depth to the fragrance as they develop, making Fresh Couture seem a bit more on the dressier side the longer I wear it. Really enjoyable for warmer weather.
The fragrance opens with watery and slightly-sweet citrus and raspberry; a fresh and energising, yet soft and feminine mix. The florals start of on the sharp side, before becoming a more traditional powdery blend as they develop and settle. The bergamot, and what seems to be gardinia are the strongest florals on me at first, both of which are tart on my skin.
After a few hours the peony and what I think is orange blossom overtake the tarter notes, softening and smoothing the fragrance. As the louder florals die down the lingering sweetness of the fruits and the soft powered florals begin to become creamy, heated and faintly sugared as the base notes deepen.
BUY-CIALIS-cilkdoma – :
I love the bottle! haha! Moschino designers are jokers!
This is exactly why I love this brand and own 3 of their fragrances, they are not scared to add playful humour and be very unorthodox and outside of the box! They do not take themselves too seriously. It is such a fun brand!
I cannot comment on the scent as I have not tried it, but i bet it is fun!
irishakubrak – :
i actually love this. it’s clean, fresh, long lasting, i cant fault it honestly & it draws compliments every time i wear it which is great.
Romans – :
No, this doesn’t smell like I Love Love apart from the mandarine-vivid orange opening.
It quickly, repeat, quickly turns into a middle-notes blushed floral. Ohhhh, ok, I found it.
It reminds me TOO MUCH of Rose Imaginaire by Roger&Gallet. Which is basically the same thing, for 1/4 of the price and in a better bottle.
(I am a fan of Moschino’s TOY when it comes to their recent creations, but these “marketing packagings” make the stuff way overpriced and the juice feels irrelevant.)
imezutug – :
I know many people hate this. I actually like this scent.
And I know that many people thinks that bottle is absolutely horrible, but I think it’s pretty funny and interesting. Unique bottle.
кошкин – :
Ambroxan is what is makes this fragrance. Normally I wouldn’t care for ambroxan and have smelled it on such perfumes as Juliet Has A Gun Not A Perfume and in Dior Sauvage. It’s citrusy and amber paired up together and can smell so good if done right in perfumery. This is a full bodied and fresh scent of citrus and flowers. Don’t be fooled by the appearance of the bottle. Do you honestly think they’re gonna make a perfume that smells like Windex? At the first spritz it’s fresh with mandarin orange and bergamot, so cool and refreshing that it’s summery and perfect to take with you to the beach. After the citrus subsides I smelled flowers: ylang and peony. Soft and delicate flowers. There is a raspberry note which gives this scent a sweetness very girly girl more like a raspberry dessert. The dry down is that ambroxan chemical note and the woods. If you can’t handle ambroxan this is not for you. You need to know what that stuff wears like on your skin. I don’t mind it especially when partnered with such sweet smelling scents as peony and raspberry. Totally feminine and sweet, not the overpowering harsh chemical scent you’d expect coming out of the bottle the way it looks.

First spray is I Love Love all over again. Then it dries down into a more watery Light Blue.
hrach66 – :
Just tested yesterday this highly controversial perfume. And I have to say that I praise the ludic, provocative proposal of the Moschino Brand, trying to revive the playful and ironic nature of the ideas of its founder, Franco Moschino. It is just a “in your face” to the fashion industries, so snobish very often, so pretentious and so disconected from the real world. The window cleaner bottle, is in my opinion, just original and brilliant.
But…the problem is again the juice, which recalls, precisely…a home cleanser. I think this would have been better if the polite blue juice would have been some powerful oriental-chypre bomb, Aromatic Elixir, Youth-Dew or Angel style…and yet, evocative of the idea of cleaness and freshness. No, this is just a very common and generic floral fresh scent…strongly connected, by the way, with the ozonic fresh perfumes of the 90’s (I think, as I marked before, that the gourmand perfumes fashion is comming to an end, and the next it is going to be a revival of the ozonic scents of the 90’s): Fleur d’Eau by Rochas, Gieffeffe, Azzaro’s Eau Belle…that kind of stuff. The smell of windows cleaner gradually, however, softens and becomes sweeter, more fruity, playful and mischieving, but always very youthful and tame. At the end, you get some notes of white musks and fabric softener. Sillage and staying power are average.
aleksei_y – :
Was so disappointed you can’t spray this on through the nozzle like a regular cleaning spray!! The nozzle is a lid and you lift it to uncover a plain old perfume sprayer. Ugh! The scent is fresh, but turns sour on my skin after a while, as many fruity scents do.
drezden630 – :
Oh no, citrus screechy and loud. You could call it fresh but its too strong to be fresh. I don’t like it.
Also I though with the novelty bottle the spray would work as a cleaner spray, using the red bit, nut no, you have to remove the whole top which leaves you with an ordinary press down spray. So its not even fun to use.
fedor051165 – :
Starts like inoffensive and almost citric EDC but real soon turns intoxicating and strong in the 70s vibe but without the big climax of the perfums from back then,suitable mostly for mature women and clearly selling the bottle as an artistic icon rather than the juice itself
dartrevan16 – :
No, it doesn’t smell like glass cleaner (Versace Man Eau Fraiche is). Peony and bergamot are the two prominent notes I get on my skin. Smells like one of those fresh floral fruity female teen scents at Sephora. Performance is okay on my skin.

Not a review but an observation… I’m surprised no one has mentioned the movie ‘Moscow on the Hudson’. Robin Williams plays a Russian saxophonist who defects in the perfume department of Bloomingdales in New York during a 30 minute shopping spree. There is a scene where one of the women from his circus troupe is sampling perfumes and picks a Windex bottle off the counter to give herself a couple of spritzes. The film is on youtube and that scene is around the 27:00 – 28:00 minute mark. I wonder how often this has actually happened in real life!

Fresh and beautiful perfume. Reminds me om Valentino valentina, but a little weaker. Valentina have more debth to it 🙂 Nice and clean smell.

I was giggling the moment I first saw this perfume at Sephora! Moschino always have a way to bring a smile to your face.
I was so tempted to buy a bottle,but the juice was too citrusy for my taste.
The bottle is genius, though. Love it!

First of all this a UNISEX perfume, I am absolutely sure, because when I bought 100ml bottle, i got aftershave balm and gel. I don’t think women use aftershave. So anyway i thi k this is reallly fresh but it has some kind of sweetness that attracted me. I am not fan of fresh perfumes though. And yes I boughtit from men’s section

Yes, bought for the bottle – Of course. Not ashamed at all.
Jeremy Scott is in my opinion brilliant. As is this bottle.
Buuuut let’s talk about what is inside.
This fragrance won’t turn as many heads as the bottle will; I can assure you that. But: It is fresh. Not like a cologne/lemon/unisex kinda fresh, which might have been to prefer. But it is a light floral. A bit sweet. Nothing remarkable. Peony is what is most notably strongest on me. It actually reminds me of burning a Yankee Candle.
I will wear this after a shower at a stay at home day and not complain.
But let’s look at the bottle again. Genius.

Another copy of Acqua di Gioia… And it’s so animalic, which has nothing to do with clean/fresh!
But I reall
