Moschino Forever

Man! Moschino Forever smells FAN-FREAKIN'-TASTIC! There is a definate "Zen quality" about this 90's style Aromatic Fougere that is so medatative and has garnered me compliments specifically for that reason. While at work at the produce dept of the grocery store I part-Time at, this woman kept walking away, then coming back to walk near me again and this happened like 3 times to the point where Id noticed and found it a bit odd. Well she was working up the nerve to ask ne what fragrance I was wearing bc according to her "it smells so nice and so Calming" and she'd mentioned that since she suffers from anxiety she really wanted to know what scent I had on. To this day it was one of THEE BEST compliments id ever recieved for a fragrance (Next to original Encre Noire) Admittedly when first applied Moschino Forever may smell a tad "Generic" but I attribute that to the extremely over used Tonk Bean during the early 2'000's and beyond, but almost as soon as the scent touches your skin ya begin getting the beautiful aromatics and semi/sweet Kumquat notes which truley smell more unique and give off a sorta "Serene feeling". Idk how Nathalie Lorson did it really. As it goes further into the dry-down the SandalWood starts peeking through and WOW! Smells fantastic truley! This fragrance imo is for a more mature crowd say over 25yrs old, masculine and has a classic vibe, but the fruits, Tonka Bean and the Semi/Sweet aspect make this more of a "Modern/Classic. It has above average longevity on skin (5 to 6 hours) yet somehow lasts DAYS on clothes. It can become a bit cloying if over done bc of that sweet, slightly powdery Tonka bean, but with a good 6 to 7 spritzes, Im golden for the rest of the day, again being sure to get atleast a couple spritzes on my shirt. I have pricey "Niche Fragrances" including Fougeres, but I still give this gem a 9 outta 10! A truley SUPERB FRAGRANCE! Thank you to whomever took the time.. CHEERS!!

Very nice. Forever is a sort of overlooked fragrance that would probably receive more attention had it been released by a better-known house. Of course we all know Moschino, but in the fragrance arena it's not one of the first brands that comes to mind. Anyway, Forever feels upbeat and modern, but also avoids the generic through its contrast of freshness and spice which works very well in this scenario. It immediately opens with an aromatic-fruity quality, juicy and even slightly powdery, accented heartily with anise which gives it an herbal-like sweetness. It's a pleasant combination that boasts powerful sillage and holds together well. Just as you're sort of getting ready for it to change, in comes the pepper and spicy aromatics, providing an interesting, and welcome contrast, creating some dynamism between the notes and the feeling of progression within the scent. This is the heart of Forever, and its stays here for a while until it reaches the final stage of the dry down, where it concludes in a more or less generic, though well-executed woody-tonka base. A good choice considering its price point, Forever is easy to wear and has a bit of a youthful vibe. The bottle's extreme tackiness is actually endearing and looks pretty cool sitting among my collection. Projection is above average and longevity is about 8 hours or more. Avoid this if you're only into 'mature' fragrances or if you're totally turned off by designers with something of a synthetic edge. If that stuff doesn't bother you, then by all means, give this a whirl. I was pleasantly surprised by it, and thank the other reviewers for their contributions which persuaded me to try this. Thumbs up.

****Update**** Moschino .Forever is SOOO GOOD, and Ive been so impressed by this scent that Ive purchased two more back-up bottles which is super rare for me bc I have way too many fragrances. 3.4 oz Testers with the cap are available for only $20 on Perfume Empire! This GORGEOUS Modern/Classic has been discontinued so Grab em' while ya can! ********************************** So, I've had this fragrance for about 3 weeks now and there has been an improvement with the performance over-all since it's "Maturated". It's most definately an "Aromatic Fougere" with classic vibes, but where it gets sorta unique is in that it's very, very "Zen", and has an herbal/spa like feel along with the slight fruityness of the Kumquat it wears really nicely! Ive actually been trying to pin down the feeling this modern/classic gave me but couldn't really put it into words. Well today at work a customer walked up to me and asked what fragrance I was wearing because she loved it! She mentioned that it was a very "Relaxing" scent and that's when it dawned on me that YES! Shes right, it is very relaxing and "Zen" like. I put some on my kneck and shirt a few hours ago and Im still catching great whiffs of Mochino Forever, so its NOT a whimpy fragrance, but ya gotta let it "Maturate" a couple weeks or so after some has been sprayed out. It also performs EXCELLENT on clothes, it has a soft yet noticable and constant projection which seems to last all day, but strangely enough, it's NOT the best on skin (Maybe 4 to 5 hours tops). A wonderful, relaxing, masculine scent! Im REALLY diggin' Moschino forever!

I’ve had great affection for this scent since the first time I wore it, which undisputedly continues! What a little beauty for a designer scent! After the first few wears this scent reminded me of the green apple note in Hugo Boss Bottled. The funny thing is of the thousands of fragrance samples I’ve worn, Boss Bottled is emphatically the one scent I strongly disliked the most! Not because it’s a bad scent, but because I have a very hard time wearing anything with green apple! And yet I love Moschino Forever! Why? Because it has a fantastically assembled warm spicy heart that immediately converges with the apple like effect to form something almost gourmand. Now don’t get me wrong. This is definitely NOT a gourmand scent. However each time I wear it, it evokes in me the same sorts of feelings as walking into a kitchen and getting a nice sharp waft of an apple cinnamon pie cooking in the oven. Mmmmmm! The apple like effect in Moschino Forever however is bright, much more so than a pie in the oven, making it well suited to warm weather. It does work very well in cooler weather though where the warm spicy heart is amplified with the softening of its brighter aspects, all be it a bit less short lived. I am certain there is more that just star anise in this, more like five spice with a bit of extra cinnamon added on top! Underneath that it’s kept masculine with a subtle aromatic almost barber shop like effect. A true gem and strongly recommend!

If you like kumquats (not the whisky macerated version, but the fresh ones) or goldenberries (less bitter), this scent is for you. This is a very realistic imitation of a middle road between those 2 fruits. The performance is bestial, if you're like me, you can apply 2 sprays and smell this on your skin the day after. Can be used in all seasons, any occasion, it's very versatile. It does really remind me of something I wore in the early 90s and I can't put my finger on it, but I suspect it was "By D&G", even though the advertised notes don't match at all. This is an unique scent, and every note in it is likeable, so it will hardly bother anyone around you in spite of it's heavy duration and projection. On my skin, this is linear, and I like it that way because the way it opens it's already splendid, it mutes down but nothing goes away in the dry-down. I paid about 34€ for 100ml, I think it is worth that much and if money isn't too tight, even worth a blind buy, you never know when some odd scent like this will be axed, as it's the sign of the times. More info, if you mix Moschino Uomo? and Trussardi Riflesso you get pretty much this scent.

This is good, and totally different from most mainstream fragrances these days. The fresh anise note is to me really well used. It does evolve nicely. From the beginning it smells quite complex with lovely contrasts, then, for a while, I get undertone hints of Drakkar Noir, and then it gets sweeter and still absolutely adorable. I cannot judge by now sillage and staying power, but I absolutely love this fragrance. I do not know what kumquat smells like, but that must be doing the trick. Lovely. It is so nice, it unsettles me. I give it 20/10, and that is because I am not sure about sillage and staying power. If I find those to be good, I will change my rating to 100. Funnily enough, I do not usually pay much attention to Moschino scents, apart from Uomo? And usually frankly dislike aromatic fougere scents. From now on those will become past prejudices. I do not like the bottle, but do like the name. Ps In the advanced drydown it does remind me a bit of Declaration.

Well what do you know this is actually a great scent!!! I remember this coming out but I never bothered with. Moschino was just a brand that I sneered at for no specific reason, just maybe that it was all over the place at one time...I dunno? The opening is watery, kinda citrus and fruity but with a distinctly translucent feel of tomato or fig which I'm guessing is the kumquat??? This is all very well but you can sense there's a bit of spice behind it which comes to the forefront after about an hour. The heart of this fragrance is star anise and wow does it come on into the drydown, giving Forever a really really lovely oriental flavour. The drydown is a soft spicy musk. I have to say I love it...it's a really good fragrance and the performance is not bad at all. It's like something CDG would do, quite bold and modern but no too crazy and utterly wearable. So glad I picked up the tester from the bargain basement shelf...might even pick up a bottle too.

This fragrance is sweet sweet but just in the perfect measure. I can smell that kumquat note it has in common with Moschino uomo?, but while Uomo? Is lemony, very musky and not sweet, Forever is very sweet in a clean transparent, fresh way. The strongest note in the base to me is Vetyver, which seems to tear through the sweetness like a light beam going up, giving it a fresh character at the same time. It is quite a complex, multisided, fidgety fragrance. You can discreetly notice many of the notes listed above but very well blended, in a way that makes it difficult to say where particular notes start and finish, the result being much more than the sum of the parts. It is smooth and balanced. I absolutely love it. I consider it a masterpiece, like many of Nathalie London’s creations. This really is a creation, in the sense of something new and unheard of, I mean unsmelled before.

بوی خوب و دوست‌داشتنی داره هرچند در ایران خیلی محبوب نشده، اما بوی مردانه‌ی تقریبا چهارفصل داره، بر خلاف نظر بعضی از دوستان که گفتن خیلی شاداب هست رایحه‌اش به نظرم در ابتدای عطر میشه این رو گفت و در نهایت با اومدن نت‌های تونکا و وتیور عطر به سمت گرمی ملایمی می‌ره هرچند در مجموع نمیشه گفت عطر گرمی محسوب می‌شه. ترکیب خوب مرکبات، بادیان ستاره‌ای و فلفل و مریم‌گلی. در مجموع به نظرم عطریه که ارزش امتحان کردن رو داره. It smells nice and lovely, although it is not very popular in Iran, but it has a masculine smell for all seasons, contrary to the opinion of some of the friends who have said it is very fresh, i think its true at the beginning of perfume. And, after the notes of Tonka and Vetiver perfume gain gentle warmth, although it can not be said that this is a warm perfume. Good mix of citrus, star anise and pepper and clarysage. In general, I think it is worth to try.

Ok... So many mixed reviews!! To me it is kind of generic, but, not all cologne have the quality that guerlain or dior have to offer. I love this perfume simply for the reason that for it's price, it's a really wonderful stuff. Very good, definitely synthetic, smell. If you don't want to spend a fortune trying to buy a perfume, this is an excellent everyday cologne that you can wear anytime, anywhere. It really has a nice smell! It opens up citrussy and fresh and dries into a wonderful soapy clean smell. I can give you lots of perfume that are more expensive than this and have the same generic feeling (or even worse). Anyway... Give it a chance and don't compare it to other expensive stuff... For it's Quality/Price ratio this is an amazing scent with a good staying power and good projection to boot!

I love it. I blind bought this one and received it today. I sprayed one little spray on my wrist and I smell damn good. This is by far the fragrance with the most sillage of the fragrances I have. And it smells wonderful. At first I get a burst of citrus but after a half hour the magic begins. Just trie this one. I can't say anything about the total longevity yet, but after 4 hours I can still smell it from armslength. One day later. this morning I applied another perfume( Midnight in paris). But I still get wiffs of this one. Apparently my sweater absorbed some of my wrist and now it smells great. I have used it to go to work today. I applied at 6:30 a.m. and it was still there when I went to sleep at 23:00 p.m. So longevity is very good too.

I love this scent! As the description says, Moschino Forever it's inspired by the Italian classic fougere fragrances but with a modern twist. Citric spicy and woody, it remind my of a L'instant de Guerlain Homme EDT and Allure Homme, not the scent but the structure of the fragrance, and it's much younger and versatile. Just perfect for a sunny spring day, but can work almost in any scenario. I will not wear it in a hot summer day, I think this would be definitely too much for that. Better that many of more expensive fragrances, the longevity and projections are borderline monster on my skin. A very nice quality release and it's not popular at all. A must try!

Sorry Querrelle,don't agree with your comparison to" Moschino Uomo" (which I loathe),"Forever" is much more complex and so much more powerful. The projection is much better than "Uomo",which was weak & watery,it seems IMO,that Moschino,after the non-starter for men, that was "Friends",seems to be back on track.Not that " Friends"was a bad fragrance.It is one of my faves. Having worked for the distribution company that includes Moschino,the best mens frag was def "Mochino Homme" (original) with" Forever" a close second. No idea why "Friends" was discontinued so soon after it's launch as it was a very agreeable,comercial fragrance.

I have been wanting this one for a long time. I am not sure why I held off on purchasing it. Well I recently found a 100ml brand new bottle for $12 from a store looking to clear out its final merchandise. Ha! What a steal. I almost feel guilty. I remember the citrus opening was what I loved. The Kumquats (those tiny little lemons) and bergamot really hit it out of the park for me. This was the first time I was able to experience the dry down which is a lot less citric. I would describe the base as an oriental, gentle woody base. Not intense woods. This one will leave you smelling amazing. Great projection, and fair longevity.

Ah, Moschino Forever, my Signature. Beautiful fragrance, opens up with a soft spice which smells like a really soft, sweet, peppery anis. Added in with the opening you ge a hit of Kumquat and Sweet Bergamot. Heart notes is pretty herbal/sweet, love it! The base is a smooth musky sandalwood with a backnote of Vetiver. There's a reason this is my signature, a really nice fragrance although hard to find which is a shame. Good for its price since on some discounters it's cheaper than buying directly. A big fan of moschino. Props for this amazing fragrance.

This is a great fragrance, Fresh, Clean, Uplifting and Unique. It smells so good and very pleasant. It opens up with like fresh citrusy and slightly spicy then dry down is semi sweet, musky and woody . It is perfect for the spring, summer and fall. I really enjoy it and I love a scent that can make memories come alive. I'm so happy that I have it in my collection. The Star Anise and Kumquat notes are dominant in this perfume , Longevity is very good, Highly Recommended. Bravo Madame Nathalie Lorson ! Two Thumbs Up. Rating : 8.5 / 10

Great fragrance, refreshing and very enjoyable. I love it from the application to its most incredible dry down. Moschino aced the summer fragrances with this one last year. I think it contends with most of the upper end brands, though I can't think of any release from those in 2011. Congrats to the house and the perfumer. This one is just right for me:chic, fresh and energising. I have found its longevity decent, at around 6 hours hmmm projection is ok for me too as I don't want my fragrance to scream. Highly recommended !

I got a small decant of this over a year ago, finally got around to trying it. Love at first smell. I love fougeres, and this is a very good one. Artfully combines traditional and modern fougere elements. Morenoetrata's guidance got me a bottle for $22, which is a great price for something this good, especially if it is about to be discontinued. Moschino does so much for so little. If you like Burberry for Men (which is an excellent hidden gem as well), you will like this as well.

Considering that the Moschino fragrance family has perfumes that are similar to each other and within a fragrance framework, we can easily say that Moschino Forever is the best among these perfumes. In addition to being a remarkable men's fragrance, it is also very durable and noticeable. The bottle design is very stylish and definitely reflects the brand's signature. As a 27-year-old male, it has been my favorite for years and will probably remain my favourite.
