Toy Boy 2

Blind bought from an internet retailer which I have no problem with since I love the original Toy Boy fragrance. Just got Toy Boy 2, sprayed once on my forearm, and I like it. First impression is leather. Smells like leather. If I was more sophisticated maybe I could pick out the other notes but to me they come together to give the impression of leather. I have the feeling it's best for cool to cold weather which is pretty much over for Florida. I'm disappointed Toy Boy 2 hasn't been available in the US during winter 2025 which means this fragrance is probably going to sit unused till winter 2026. How does it compare to Toy Boy? Toy Boy 2 is not the polarizing fragrance that is the original Toy Boy. It's not a fuck boy scent. Toy Boy 2 is a mature vibe. Edit: Second wear and I can make out the separate notes. The opening is punchy and dark but the drydown softens and makes the fragrance more versatile to wear. It's nice, mature, masculine. It's like Narciso Rodriguez for Him Bleu Noir but doesn't smell like it. Edit: I'm in love with the drydown. It's creamy and luxurious with a soft spice that comes and goes. The opening is harsh by comparison. Tom Ford Black Orchid Reserve similarly also has a creamy and luxurious drydown, but the two fragrances do not smell the same.

This smells phenomenal! I knew I had to test and eventually get my hands on this, from the first time I read the notes of Toy Boy 2. I didn’t know what to expect when I tested it, but I was surprised that it smelled so different compared to the first Toy Boy. The opening is very strong, fresh and spicy-sweet but after around 1 hour, the scent profile transforms into a more soft, smooth and woody scent which I love. Some hours after testing this, I already got compliments by my girlfriend. I definitely detect the coffee accord, but it is very subtle - it is freshness, spices and wood that dominates in this scent. I also smell some dark chocolate and leather in this fragrance, even though it’s not listed in the notes? The performance and longevity are also INSANE. It lasts for the whole day, on my skin at least and if I apply this on my clothes it lasts for several days, what's not to like? Is Toy Boy 2 more unique and groundbreaking than the first Toy Boy? The honest answer is no, probably not - but I still prefer Toy Boy 2 over the first one, since it is more masculine, darker, sexier and the notes in this juice are just overall more of my taste. This is the perfect fragrance for date nights/night outs, for the colder days or autumn and winter. 9/10

Toy Boy 2 is a woody, spicy, and amber fragrance. Its opening is very spicy with pronounced notes of cardamom and nutmeg, lasting for about 10 minutes. After that time, while the spicy notes remain, a woody and coffee accord begins to emerge, adding more character to the scent. As it dries down, the fragrance acquires some slightly balsamic and ambery tones, but the predominant accords are spicy and woody. This new version of Moschino's Toy Boy is different from the original, but just as interesting and pleasant. It has more spice and wood than the original; in my opinion, it's more mature and even sensual. It's suitable for formal occasions, romantic outings, the office, or other professional work environments. I find autumn and winter to be the ideal seasons for wearing it. As for longevity, it lasted about 10 hours on me every time I've tried it, the sillage has been average. I also really liked this new version of Toy Boy; it has a pleasant scent. I encourage you to try it and share your impressions.

Sampled this today on skin and I'm impressed. Good release, not as "revolutionary" as the previous version, but surely a stunner, very masculine woody balsamic. Myrrh note is quite prominent. Sweet but not cloying. Spicy. Coffee note appears more on the drydown, till it becomes a skin scent creamy cappuccino. This is a love from me, go sample it ON YOUR SKIN, wear it if you can. Different from the original androgynous Toy Boy (that I personally enjoy very much too), this is actually a man's man fragrance, not for people that are into the feminine Toy collection from Moschino, so beware of negative comments from women/unisex crowd on this fragrance, it's good practice to check their collection to see if their taste fits yours. If there's such a thing as "cultural appropriation" of masculinity and/or female chauvinism, this fragrance profile's reviews section will have some good examples.

It does kind of smell like something from the Hero line... ...I freakin' love the Hero line. But seriously, it does lean towards Burberry's Hero Parfum Intense but without the leather. And don't worry if you're not a big fan of coffee. It's blended in well and I wouldn't have guessed that there was a coffee note. This could easily be your fall and winter signature, and it's much cheaper than HPI.
