I like candy when it's wrapped in a sweater: Tokyo Milk Fragrances

I first heard of this line after reading one of Jessica's reviews on Now Smell This. I loved the hodgepodge of notes and the adorable Esty-like packaging. These niche scents are carried at selected Anthropologie stores and Beautyhabit.com. My local Anthropologie did not carry the whole line but had a respectable number to test. I was impressed with the quality of the juice. The gardenia was beyond creamy and worthy of being in a Monyette Paris bottle. The lasting power was fair. I reapplied my scent every 4-5 hours. This means that I will go through my bottles like water. The price makes this fact less painful. The bottles retail for $28.



Sparrow's notes are Neroli (strong, creamy and heavenly!) & Citrus, crisp greens(whispery light), creamy Gardenia, and a drydown of Rosewood.
Song in D's(my personal favorite) notes are White Orchid, Orange Flower, Gardenia and Amber. This is lovely and sweet.
I want Candy's notes are a Crisp Apple, a bucket full of sweet Peaches, and a drydown of Violets and Roses. This is very light and perfect for the upcoming summer months.

Let me know what you think of this line in the comments.

My favorite of these is Honey and the Moon -- warm and sweet and alluring. It's got honey, jasmine, sugared violet, and sandalwood. I actually wore it on Valentine's Day! (Not that anything actually *happened*, but it was still my Valentine's Day choice.)

I also recommend Gin and Rosewater! I didn't find that one at Anthropologie, but citrus-and-rose lovers should check it out.

I agree, the packaging for this line is adorable. Thank you for describing the scents in such detail, it really makes me want to give them a try. From your descriptions, it sounds like they are delicious! The Song in D Minor will probably be my favorite too, I LOVE gardenia!

Jeanne: I thought that one was a stunner! The honey note was so rich and strong...yet not overpowering.

I would love to try all of these. They were a wonderful surprise and so well done.

Caroline: You will love Sparrow too!!!!
