Masaki/Masaki

Ohhh I love this.. I bought it blind recently since I couldn't find it anywhere to test out. My last blind buys had been big disappointments, so I was delightfully stunned when I first sprayed this. It immediately filled my room with the perfect blend of fresh, fruity, floral, and aquatic heaven. I'm so tired of the thick musks, brain piercing ambers, and nauseatingly sweet gourmands that have monopolized the fragrance market the past 7-ish years. I just want to smell clean and light and refreshing 🌷 Masaki is exactly that, to my excitement. She has this bubbly quality, not soap per se, but the scent brings to mind the image of pink bubbles. It is happy and carefree, not manic but peaceful and innocent. I definitely get the passion fruit, which to me is usually too sour or smells like cheap deodorant mixed with BO. But not here - here it just adds a fruity depth and light sweetness to an overall aquatic floral. Can't wait to wear this all spring 🌱

For the past two years this has been my signature scent. Minimalistic, elegant, unique and fresh. It gets you noticed, but only by people you let close to you. To me it's so romantic and feminine, but not girly/childish like a lot of ultra feminine perfumes on the market today.

Sweet-tart, sweet-tart, sweet-tart...must be the lichee and the passionfruit. Then, sweet, sexy sweet, Sweetie. No patchouli , no watermelon, no bergamot on me. It smells of springtime and optimism. On me, it's a great break from the pack.

A beautiful scent for spring or summer. Juicy and delicious, more fruity than floral, but the rose is definitely there as an undertone. I am enjoying this one very much.

It's a blast from the past; a period when a lot of fruity roses were being left in a trail after every bleached blonde walking in her white boots. This is a slightly ozonic and salty take on the fruity facets of rose, a bit too oily to start with, then a bit to synthetic on the dry-down. I got it only because the "vintage nostalgia" motivated me. Masaki/Masaki has locked memories of my countless visits to Sephora in the early 2000's. A better, juicier and lighter close relative is L'Imperatrice by D&G. 6/10 and glad to have it!
