Passport Tokyo

I got this and Passport South Beach few months ago when I was killing some time at Sears fragrance department. I smelled this and immediately fell in LOVE. And of course, I got this for under $20 which is always a plus. While I like fruity scents, this is so different from anything out there-fruity scent that doesn't really smell like fruit bowl(ahem..Escada?)-its sweet and creamy and there is only a bit of tartness in the opening, from lemon. I love frangipani and that's what gives this scent nice airy sweetness, then dries down into musky creamy sandalwood scent. I don't know why its called Tokyo, because there is nothing Japanese about it-its has a rather tropical feeling, if anything. Its just beautiful and I love it so much. This is very "young" scent and I can totally picture this on teenage girls. However, that's not a reason why I shouldn't enjoy it as well;) Lasting power is stellar for this light scent-I can actually get 3-4 hours out of this and my skin eats up perfume and most fruity scents dissappear very fast. I already went through half of bottle which is pretty amazing considering how many perfumes I own. I also think there is some resemblance to Fancy Love, I sampled it yesterday and there are some definate simularities except Tokyo is a bit more fruity P,S. Previous reviewer said it was kind of unisex-I don't agree with this at all-on the contrary its very girly.

I blind bought this when it was on offer and it was a "like" at first, thought nothing of it. Really not my typical type of scent but today I realized I love this very much. So I put it on again, I medium warm day with rainy clouds... and I am amazed by the transparent powdery freshness I get. It took me time to get used to the apple note however this doesn't seem to last too long anyway. The scent stays close to skin as it dries down, reminding of a clean cotton musk with frangipani. No wet dog notes, no sharpness of musk here. Perfect office scent if you don't want to stink up a drama. What makes this special for me is that rather than being a cloying sweet frangipani scent Passport Tokyo embeds this tropical flower into a powdery clean musk context. I am certainly no fan of Paris Hilton but this fragrance is really good value and if you have concerns about longevity, stick the small bottle into your handbag or gymbag for a pick me up spritz on a warm day. Instant transparent freshness, like a breeze under a tree in the sunshine.

I first reviewed Paris from this collection which I very much love. I finally decided to get the other two. This one, Tokyo, is the softest and most delicate of all three. It is a very well-balanced fruity floral, with balmy woods, not at all citrus-y. The notes that I get are apples mixed with frangipani with a hint of iris which is here to balance the tangy sharpness of the frangipani and tone-down the sweetness of apples so the outcome is a very feminine and delicate scent. I think this is a very good example of the modern interpretation of white floral fragrances with a touch of powder and fruits making it more youthful, fresh, and wearable. As for projection, it is more of a skin scent that radiates a bit although the staying power is good depending on body chemistry. I will have to update this as I test it further. Paris stays on me for about 10 hours so will see about this one. So far, I love it.

I am not normally one for freshie scents but Passport Tokyo must have seduced me with its added tropical flowers and iris. So personally I can say it was a beautiful cheapie back then and I did have fun wearing it on some very hot London summer days. However, it looks like my little bottle has taken itself out of circulation to save me the misery of reminiscing times that will never come back. This is probably only the third time ever one of my scents has turned. I suspect that the notes/ ingredients used simply aren't meant for a longer lifespan. Not suprisingly, other reviewers found recent trials of this scent unsatisfying after having bought old stock or used bottles.

I LOVE this Passport to Tokyo so much! I was very surprised how this inexpensive perfume from "Paris Hilton" could be this sophisticated (and oh god, the bottle does surely look cheap). It's not too girly, yet sexy and lively. The opening is a bit citrusy and tangy, but a couple minutes later it just turns lovely. The dry down is even prettier, personally, I have no idea why the dry down on me smells like Gucci Flora??? Is it only me? However, I'm really disappointed in its longevity. How much I wish the longevity would be as amazing as Passport to Paris!
