Toujours Glamour

I put this away for a while and just remembered I had it. Now I know why I love it, so similar to Armani Sensi, a love that will always cheer me up. Azzaro Visit is similar to Sensi too, btw. Oh, the almond and burst of citrus (like kaffir lime to me) are so silky and fresh but not at all in a soapy or salty way. This is so cheap and still available. Be sure to get the blue cap, not the red one. === Dear "Always Glamorous" -- I bought you as a blind buy based on reviews here mentioning doll's head/plasticky notes, Love's Baby Soft, Sensi, L'Instant Magic, and baby scents. To me, you are a combination of LBS and Johnson's Baby Shampoo -- how I love both of those. I detect a tiny PlayDoh note too, squee! I have been spraying it everywhere. Comforting as hell (realize that's an oxymoron). Is there lotion or oil??? 2010 sounds about right, the end of the 2000s right before it all got gourmand. Wish there was an intense version. Come back!

The initial spray straightly reminds me of vintage Dream Angels Heavenly by Victoria Secret, maybe because they share the same violet-musk-cardamom notes. I’m a bit surprised as i was expecting more almond and heliotrope in this one. Turned out that it smells quite clean, sharp violet leaf, and musky. And yes it recalls Nivea cream. It's indeed a bit sour on my skin in the early phase, but getting better as it settles down. Not at all a bad scent, in fact i enjoy this perfume more and more, but it just a miles away from what i imagined it would be with the notes in the list. Will give it another try and assess. EDIT: it's warmer and nuttier after 20-30 minutes, think i will like it more ;)

I really like this! I blind bought it based on comparisons here and I'm happy! Although you have to reapply it (maybe a spray per hour), it's affordable, so no big deal. I wore it to work for the first time today and received a compliment by a very... well... snooty personality, LOL!This says a lot to me, especially since I couldn't even smell it. Perfect for feeling like you just showered when you haven't actually had time to, like me this AM. Still felt fresh!

My easy-to-go winterscent. It is cozy, fluffy, powdery, a bit soapy (at the opening) and indeed very much like Nivea body milk. The heart scent is indeed sweeter thanks to the almond and jasmine, but I do not find it overly sweet even though I do not like (too) sweet scents. For me this is like a cashmere sweater with jeans: cozy and casual, and would not wear it in spring or summer.

This juice doesn't smell Like Nivea lotion at all. It stays close of you. It is a fragrance to enjoy alone. At one point, after an opening of green notes, it smells somewhat bitter. The dry down comes very fast and a powdery and sweeter heliotrope can be felt close to skin. It doesn't seem like there were more notes than this flower. It's like a solinote. Ideal for spring time.

It is another fragrance then others Moschino fragrances, what are more like citrus. It is perfect floral fragrance and can not wait, when I will buy it. I smell mostly lillac (I know, there is not lillac, but I smell it), then violet and almonds. It will be perfect in winter, when I will use it with Nivea Creme and shower gel. It is also perfect fragrance in spring.

To me, it smells like a lighter Dior Addict, with a bit of L'instant Magique de Guerlain. I like it so much, but I'm afraid, that I have to use a lot of it to make myself smell like anything at all:S. Because it transforms itself to a close to skin-scent in 1,5 hours after applying. It is italian, but it smells french, if that makes sense.

Wow! I'm really surprised about negative feedback here. For me the colour of the bottle doesn't attract me, but the scent is so good. It's soft sweet delicate powdery scent, not sharp at all. I don't detect any sour or spicy smell just fresh and delicate flowers. I think it's one of the beautiful feminine scent. Really love it!

This one is a real compliment magnet. Smells like you took a bath in some crushed purple flowers sprinkled with almonds, then applied the most luxurious cold cream to your entire body. The smell is captivating, smooth creamy and comforting.

Received my order and tried my blind buy and ahhh yes very familiar! It does smell like Nivea lotion ha! Great buy. More lotion like than powder but still a love. I can’t pick out specific notes honestly. It is nice. Glad I got it!

Not at all ... not smell of bitter almonds, nor almonds. Smells like powdery white flowers a little bitter and watery. But nothing in particular.I disagree with the MAIN ACORDS

Yeeeey I just received this 2day! I love it! Dont want to sound like a sweaty pedo in a sand box but smells exactly like a clean baby! Skip skipa-roo

I could only smell jasmine and a subtle touch of almonds, but very subtle.on paper after 8 hours, smells like baby powder

Does anyone know if Moschino Toujours Glamour has been reformulated ?

Reminds me of a better version of VS Dream Angels Heavenly.

I find most designer fragrances quite boring and generic and Toujours Glamour is no real exception, but I happen to like it more than other. I don't really get the Nivea Cream edge, but it definetely smells "cosmetic", this time in a more classy way than average. I like the opening with a very delicate cardamom and violet leaf. The berry is not very strong but the other notes gives a soft elegant vibe to the opening. The heart comes in very quickly, while violet leaf is still lingering. It's made of jasmin flower, but very very tamed and strictly blended with bitter Almond. Here comes a pleasant surprise: the Almond is not the usual sickening extra-sugary-praline artificial flavour. Very good job! The Almond here smells like real thing (I doubt it is) and has a bitter tone but very balanced. It is slightly reminiscent of a fraction of old Laura Biagiotti Roma from the 90s and maybe a vague hint of old El Charro Woman. The drydown holds traces of previous notes and add powder in. It's a very soft heliotrope with benzoin. A lovely composition all together, it develops on skin with grace, it smells modern and very feminine, quite elegant but not too much done. I think this is a typical scent that grabs compliments from masses, but at least it's not your usual fake vanilla with some flower thrown in. It has nuances and decent sillage. Lasting power is about 4 hours on me, leaving traces for longer. The bottle is cute and fine, well rounded feminine yet not tacky.

I blind bought this due to the comparison to the scent of Nivea skin cream/body lotion. It has a definite Nivea vibe, but it’s as if the Nivea scent was made into a dusting powder. But it still is creamy too, not overly dry. The actual Nivea scent has some lemon in the undertones, there is no lemon in this whatsoever, however it’s very clean, comforting and fluffy. A very inoffensive and all season scent. It’s funny because this smells like a clean baby, like when you smell the top of a baby’s head lol. But this does not smell like Johnson and Johnson baby powder - no. Baby’s don’t actually smell of that. It’s just a magical, soft baby smell, natural to them and this scent reminds me of it. I am having a hard time picking out any of the specific notes, musk maybe, but I can’t put my finger on anything else. I think I smell the almond, though it does not smell like almond to me, yet I’m told this is how almond smells in perfumery because other perfumes I’ve smelled that had heavy almond notes share this quality with Toujours Glamour. I love the scent of almond , but have never really like one perfume with a heavy almond note in it’s pyramid, except for this... I guess? There were some reviews that say there is a sour or bitter quality to this. I’d say the initial blast definitely has a sharpness to it, but fades very quickly and just becomes very fluffy and lovely. I like the periwinkle hue on the bottle too btw 😉

This opens with a strong alcohol blast which is downright unpleasant. My immediate reaction was to recoil and regret another unsuccessful blind buy. Fortunately, that horrible opening is short-lived; give it 20 minutes or so and then smell it. After about 45 minutes, the drydown is reached and that is where this perfume truly blooms. The almonds are gently sweetened by the heliotrope (one of my favourite notes) - they aren't green or bitter at all, nor is there a marzipan or Amaretto like feel to them. LOTV is a very distinctive scent and I am not picking up on this note at all. There's a creamy, vanillic feel to the perfume, perhaps from the benzoin and a mild non-animalic musk holding the notes together. Sillage is moderate (but only just, the perfume sits fairly close to the skin) but the longevity on my dry, perfume-eating skin is remarkable, particularly for an EDT. I can still smell it clearly six hours later. It is cold here today and I suspect TGM will perform far better in the summer - it's definitely not a winter fragrance. This is a safe blind buy for lovers of slightly sweet almond scents and well worth the online asking price.

This is a delicious scent. Comforting violet, creamy almonds and a tad of benzoin swirling together to create a fluffy beautiful cloud. The floral notes are not most predominant in this fragrance. Once the dry down occurs, the almonds are the stars, with the violets and benzoin uniting in perfect harmony. The longevity is moderate, and I think the projection is moderate as well. It is a breathe deeply smell, one that is universally appealing, and inviting. One that you want to keep spraying and smelling, never overpowering, and one that does not need to be over thought. It is appealing from the first try, which is sometimes nice in the complex world of perfumery. I do want to add however, that it does smell quite expensive, not overly sweet, and very unique from anything else that I own. I love it even more because it was a surprise gift from hubby , so sweet!

First thing, lovely bottle! When I tested it last year shortly after its release, I found it a bit weird, because the impression of the original Glamour (the red cap one) always resides in my mind, and the jasmine in this blue cap bottle is outright different. Jasmine in this perfume is not as loud, actually it's very quiet, only at the beginning within 10 minutes I can sensed some fresh jasmin, then there is all the foggy lily-of-the-vally. The undertone is intense and sexy, which reminds me a lot of BLV Jasmin Noir. I went to checked that out and find the reason - it's the almond that contained in both. The lasting is good, a stronger version out of EDT's spectrum. But on the whole it's just an OK choice for me, I prefer the red cap Glamour (a salty-sweet-creamy-intense-jasmine scent).
