Tsukiyo for Her

This is great. The patchy rose fragrance trope has been done to death but here it takes on a different facet, almost berry-like, Valentino Donna comes to mind as a reference, though the two are decidedly different. Jasmine and rose vie for attention on a backdrop of vanillic leather. The patchouli is tamed and modern, much in the way it has been executed in modern classics which need not be named, adding dimension without stealing the show. Immensely enjoyable.

This brand has the best bottles. This, though... Too strong, too jammy, too FRUITCHOULI. Not the LVEB/Flowerbomb/Coco Mademoiselle type fruitchouli, leaning more on the Black Orchid spectrum. Strong, lasting. Warm, rounded. I prefer the male Tsukiyo, but not enough to warrant owning it myself.

A little unusual for a perfume but in a nice way. It goes on very strong but dries to a pleasant rose fruity berry with something else that I cant place. A little like drinking Japanese plum wine - the taste is pleasant but different. It isn't old or young. It isn't rose or patchouli. After an initial short scream (which I prefer to ignore) it sits pleasantly on the skin. It's suitable for winter but summer could be interesting too. It matures really well. It can compete with much more expensive perfumes. Update- 4 hours later and it is still there but very sweet. Still pleasant though.

One of my favorite perfumes so far. It's a gorgeous intoxicating fragrance that does last long. The first minute can be strong and you would think this is a gourmand fragrance, but it quickly quiets down into this delicate, but intoxicating at the same time. The patchouli of Tsukiyo does remind me of Narciso Rodriguez for Her EDT, whether the vanilla reminds me of how Dolce Gabbana The One EDT smells on my mother (fragrances tend to smells so gorgeous on her).

Hmm. Not what I was expecting! I wouldn't call it a modern chypre, it's very sweet to my mind and mostly a vanilla that's casually acquainted with rose, who met patchouli once or twice. They're not well acquainted. Don't get me wrong, it's nice but I was expecting darker or more mysterious. It gets less sweet after a few minutes and the patchouli comes in more but I've not yet forgiven the vanilla for stealing the opening.
