LOVE LOVE LOVE! I definitely have a thing for milky leaning nutty not super gourmand but still edible fragrance... I haven't had this perfume for long (about a month). But what a wonderful blind buy, I bought a 50ml and a 10ml of this in hopes the notes would translate as well as I had imagined and liking what I'd read in reviews. I'm so glad I did. The notes here are translated with great accuracy, the opening does capture a realistic boba (frag is missing that the taro is a taro bubble tea note!). While the smell is milky I wouldn't say it is lactonic as it is much drier a smell than what that word usually suggests. I would summarise this smell as powderised ingredients of a bubble tea café, with how it smells on dry down, and I find that so wonderful. On dry down the florals take strength but do not overpower the notes that make this fragrance, the pink pepper adds a bit of a fizziness and the pistachio becomes quite notable. I hope Piper & Perro make this a permanent fragrance, I'm topped up for now but I would certainly buy this again. I can't speak too much to performance with the time I've had it but projection and sillage are good to great, you aren't stinking out a room but it'll easily last for upwards of 5 hours. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a versatile scent, a great fresh gourmand that is sweet but not sickly or sticky. (Note from 2025. I am still obsessed with this perfume and am waiting to buy another bottle after getting a couple more 10mls after my purchase of the full bottle. I still have yet to smell anything quite like this. The closest would be some of the japan collection fragrances by d'annam. the performance is definitely more intimate after 2-3 hours. I am shocked to come back to this page and see how few reviews have happened since.)

This is my absolute favourite fragrance at the moment! I get so many compliments on it and am comfortable wearing it to work even with 2-4 sprays, but that does not mean it’s weak at all. I did not enjoy the San Janeiro pistachio scent nearly as much as this one; it’s more realistic and not overly sweet/“girlish.” The pistachio and tea notes make it powdery enough that it comes off as very rich and not at all alcoholic while the orchid and mandarin brighten it without smelling too green/clean. The pink pepper note is like crack to me, so I personally love layering this with either ambroxan or Glossier You which has both as well as amber + iris that compliment it beautifully. Piper & Perro is definitely my current favourite and most exciting niche brand! They have samples in sets of four which work out beautifully, when I ordered my 10ml of this they included the other four samples I was missing for free! I also love their scents Bud and Veil from their main line. Definitely check them out!!!!

I wanted to wait until my trip to Seoul to write a proper review of this scent. Having visited several major Asian cities, I initially thought of Seoul as more of a coffee culture than a milk tea one. The numerous coffee shops scattered throughout the city and it’s a place for hang-ought for many young people. What was me on for me, though, is the incredible variety of milk-based desserts available at these coffee shops. I believe it’s this blend of sweetness and tartness that makes this fragrance so fitting for the city. The only thing I’d add is a fresh note, like lime or sandalwood, to capture the vibrancy and futuristic vibe of Seoul. Interestingly, this house once released a limited edition scent called *Lepus* featuring a milk and lime combination. It was quite well-rounded in my opinion but sadly discontinued.

Beautiful scent! It reminds me of pistachio nougat first and then I get an undertone of taro milk tea. In one word: delicious! I find the opening smells a lot sweeter than the dry down - not in a bad way, it's still not overwhelming or cloying, but I love that it settles into something ever so slightly softer. Nutty, milky, sweet. I know it's got floral notes but I would consider those almost an afterthought in the scent profile, this is a lot more unique than a floral perfume. I sometimes feel like this doesn't project that much when I wear it yet I always get compliments so clearly others can smell it and love it. Overall, it's a standout. I ordered a sample pack from Piper & Perro and now I need to get a bigger bottle because I'm addicted.

I think this is the first taro-prominent perfume I have. The note stands out in the opening. On skin it’s somewhat fleeting. But on clothes, taro lasts longer. It’s definitely sweet. Over time I get flower and vanilla. I don’t think I get tea or pink pepper. I think I would have liked more discernible tea note. Overall, it’s interesting and pretty. Update: 07/09/2025 I have worn this frequently since my initial review. And I love it. The starchiness combined with sweet perfume. It’s almost addicting in a nice way. Update: 10/18/2025 I have layered this with Je ne Sais Quoi by Teo Cabanel, and the extra savory note makes the combination quite delightful. Now this is the only way I wear—layering.
