I can’t find this anywhere.
If anyone has a bottle for swap or knows where it can be purchased, PLEASE pm me!

Why Cruel World? I think I have finally found my signature, and it’s discontinued?! Does anyone know where it can still be purchased?

That awesome moment where you buy a bottle of this on ebay and it turns out you know the seller as you’re friends with her on here (Yamba1, I’m looking in your direction) – and that even more awesome moment where she sends you a few samples you’ve never seen/tried before! THANK YOU, LOVELY ♥
Sparrow not only handles every note listed here beautifully (all of which I can easily smell) – it also seems to evolve the longer one wears it.
At first, I thought to myself “Nice! This is so ‘green’ and perfect in this warm weather”…and it really is. The Citrus notes, the creamy white florals…it just works in Spring/Summer heat. But about an hour after putting it on, there was also a very fresh shampoo type quality. I actually thought my nose was playing tricks on me as I had my hair done today at the salon…but no, there really is a shampoo freshness to this. Not a Tresemme shampoo freshness – more a higher end salon type shampoo freshness.
And then, I was spoiled even more. SPICES!! Nothing hard hitting or ‘dark’ – just clean spices with a tiny bit of heat to them.
The perfume itself is gorgeous – it lasts for ages, projection is brilliant (especially when a warm breeze rolls in and you become enveloped in this scent). Projection, Silage, Longevity…ALL fantastic. And the bottle has got to be one of the cutest I’ve seen.
This is my first experience with Tokyo Milk and I’m really excited about it 🙂 Looking forward to seeing what else they have to offer.
Love this!

I only bought this because I loved the label with the bird on it. When I first sprayed it, I thought it was just awful–a blast of gardenia that hit me like a cheap bathroom air freshener…and then in a few minutes, it changed completely…some spice came in, then a little green, and it turned into a beautiful, beautiful floral. It is truly lush, and maintains its full-bodied white floral notes without getting screechy. The spicy notes give it warmth and balance, and something (citrus?) gives it just a hint of shampoo-like freshness. It is lovely!

Sparrow is just lovely. The citrus and green notes balance the heady gardenia perfectly, to produce a fresh, vibrant and slightly retro feeling perfume.
I road tested my sample today and have enjoyed every delightful waft for at least 8 hrs. This has left me wanting more, and is a definite ‘must buy’ for me!

I’ve just noticed that both Magiemagpie & I likened Sparrow to a “bird of paradise”, which goes to show that I am not alone in thinking this a far more exotic scent than the name (and even the notes) would imply; and also, that I should read the other reviews *before* submitting my own! 😉
I can see myself wearing this throughout the summer – it’s so lush and fresh, calming yet exciting. There’s something fizzy about it, a zing & a crackle like a fragrant halo of electricity.

No drab sparrow, this intoxicating little gem is more like a bird of paradise: the opening notes are crisp & dry, in a mouthwatering way. Like a tall glass of Gin & Tonic on a hot summer’s day. Initially, I thought this to be quite virginal fresh, but when the heady gardenia hits home it blooms on the skin quite beautifully. Long-lasting and with a great sillage, this perfume kept me enthralled all day – it’s clean but in a deeply sexy, entirely sophisticated way. There’s a wonderfully waxy, soapy creaminess to the gardenia, and the neroli really enhances the rosewood. Like a longed-for shower on a humid day, Sparrow is refreshing but still holds the heady gasp of Summer in its heart.

I love this with a fiery passion. Perfumes that develop best on me are citrus with green notes and maybe a little woods or vanilla thrown in. This is a simple, yet perfect perfume. It’s attitude is light and airy, but the sillage is perfect. It’s great for year round and is an amazing signature scent. This will never give you a headache, and it’s made from pure oils. I’ll never give this one up.
