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!

I should start this review by saying that this is exactly the kind of fragrance I like, so I'm definitely inclined to see and sniff it favorably. And it really is a very nice floral blend, with some deeper notes to make it interesting. It's hard to tell what the individual notes are, but it's a good all-season floral- it's not so light that it's only a summer scent. This is a perfume I can reach for pretty much whenever.

I like its first notes very much! Feminine and lovely! However, after some time it begins to be sultry. I prefer fresher scents, I'm afraid.

Pleasant pink fragrance. Cherry blossom, litchi, watermelon... Pink, soft and nice. Just not to impressive for me.

Fresh, fruity and cold. In my opinion, it works best on sunny, cold and windy days.

smells like what sapphic love feels, shout out to the lesbians <3

Feminine and romantic. I like this :)

very optimistic fragrance. sheer, transparent, openhearted. an open space with a light breeze. a serene smile and a beam of light :) I regret it doesn't work with my chemistry.

not bad but don't expect anything special. good for those who want to blend in (like a forum topic here 'crowd-pleaser' but I mean blending in a good way). I would not recognise it anywhere and I can imagine other people trying to find out what I was wearing would list lots of designer frags (maybe cheaper ones) I was mostly interested in this because of the magnolias and cos I did not know the brand before. Well Masaki did not convince me but don't want to judge by one fragrance only. update 12/11/2010: these fruits are a wee bit sourish

After reading this fragrance's description, and many glowing reviews I couldn't wait to get my hands on this and try it. But to my nose, something about it feels dated and stuffy (maybe the rose paired up with the magnolia?) I was disappointed because, Masaki/Masaki was not what I was expecting.

Soapy and Fruitty :) For me it smells like a great grean tea with lichi or other fruits...very refreshing...the best at the end of summer, when you still want to feel the sun, but it ́s already colder and first autumn leaves appear... For me it ́s a sunny fragrance, thought not good for temperatures like 35 degrees and more... I personally prefer it on my clothes to my skin :) it has a beautiful sillage - everybody notices it first 2 - 3 hours from my clothes! then it disappears to more soft "clean" scent...and on the other day you don ́t feel it anymore :)

I absolutely adore this perfume. Its very cheerful and sweet and feminine without being excessively sweet. Its girly, but balanced and refined, is the best way I can describe it. I cant pick out a single note, or at least not a note I'm used to smelling. It lasts really well especially considering that it's more on the demure side.

This is an interesting scent, I get at first a strong burst of watermelon, very sour. it tickled my nose ?? Then the scent opens up and turns warm and musky, with the patchouli coming into play. I really like it, the scent is well done, complex, and the dry down is real nice. Not your ordinary fruity scent.

Juicy, pretty jeweled fruit notes and metallic cedar dry down to an easy oriental fragrance. I love the onset of bright happy notes but the oriental in the end isn't my thing. Still, quite a nice blend and very well exectured. Smells pricey and refined.

This is fruity but not sweet. I have to say I was expecting more having read the reviews. This is pleasant but pretty generic-smelling to me. I think if the top fruitier notes lasted just a bit longer I would be able to appreciate it more. Just meh.

80% TART, sour, not sweet litchee + 20 % raspberry, blackberry, red currant, cherry + trace of rose + soapy musk after one hour. One of the most tart, fruity fragrance I've ever smelled, but soapy base ruins it entirely.
