Dead Sexy

Sexy is an apt way to describe this fragrance. Right after spraying there is an undeniable creamy wood + vanilla. I would've guessed something rich like sandalwood, or oak. Then as it develops, a smokiness appears and slowly begins to burn through the woods and vanilla. This gives a smoked leather scent combined with the vanilla, which goes from a rich gooey gourmand type to a drier and more subtle herbal kind. It's intriguing, and unlike any other vanilla fragrance I've tried, which is really saying something as I've probably tried hundreds. I found Bvlgari's black to be a bit too strong on the rubber note which gave the impression of new tires, and thus I found it better suited for a masculine scent wearer. This one is more in the middle, which makes it fitting for a much larger audience, I could see anyone of any gender pulling this off. It's got a bad a** side to it, but it's not so overwhelming that it will offend. The sillage is noticeable while still remaining quite tasteful. I've sprayed one spray on my wrist and then dabbed the excess onto my neck, and I believe this probably toned the projection down a bit. I think I could probably get away with wearing 3 sprays max of this fragrance, and not need to reapply it until later in the evening. Tokyo Milk fragrances get lots of critical feedback, and a few of their scents I've tried did sort of put me off. But this scent is beautiful and deserves so much more attention than it gets. If you like subtle vanillas with a hint of woods or other interesting notes, give this one a chance. If you liked Bvlgari Black but it's too hard to find after discontinuation or you found it just a bit too over the top, give this one a chance.

Smoky & seductive. It doesn't smell like I've been smoking gross cigarettes, but rather, have just been in the company of smokers in a high end, dimly lit cigar bar - perhaps indulging in a glass of brandy while discussing power moves with unbuttoned tailored dress jackets. I feel like I mean business when I wear this. I know I smell smoky and I own it - cause I know where I've been. Paired with black attire, in colder months in the evening is the best time to wear this. You can't be shy, this one owns the room! Moderate sillage if you go light handed on the sprays but you can easily send this baby out into the atmosphere with one or two extra sprays. Lasts longer on clothes but on skin I can get a good 4 hours. I've tried nearly a dozen fragrances from Tokyo Milk and this one is by far my favorite. Simple composition, could easily be layered to pull even darker and rich (bourbon vanilla vibe) or would be beautiful with fruity scents to act as a base for the fruits to bounce off of (think of a fruit flavored cigar). She could layer either way! I do think it's slightly expensive for a 1oz size but am still willing to pay for it. And the bottle makes me happy, I love the skull design through the backside of the bottle.

Testing this as a decant splash. I’ve never smelled a perfume quite like this. It carries a dark, enchanted-forest aura and leans witchy/vampy in the most elegant way. The woods aren’t typical perfume woods; they feel shadowed, slightly smoky, and earthy, softened by a quiet sweetness and soft, ghostly florals. A creamy vanilla base anchors it all, adding a velvety depth that feels mysterious rather than gourmand. A subtly resinous thread runs through it, almost floral-resinous, and it reminds me a bit of "Midnight" by Satya, one of my favorite incenses. As it wears, the scent softens beautifully: a touch powdery, more delicate, yet still undeniably intriguing. It keeps its dark, moody edge without becoming heavy, like slipping out for a romantic, moonlit stroll through a garden. This would be gorgeous in autumn and winter, especially at night, though the gentle dry-down makes it perfectly wearable during the day as well. Sultry, dark-femme, smoky, and slightly otherworldly — but without any “dead” or decaying quality, and no synthetic edge on my skin. Just pure magic.

I'm normally a light-floral kind of person, but this caught my attention in the store so I took a chance on it. At first all I could smell was the wood notes, and they had a bit of a bite to them that I found interesting but not my cup of tea, so I was going to pass on it. But before I even left the store the fragrance softened up a little bit and the vanilla came through, which gives the woods a soft, warm, smoky-sweet kind of quality that's actually very nice. It does have a rubber element to it, but not in a bad way, and again it's tied to the vanilla which keeps it from being too harsh. And it is sexy, in a warm-mischievous-inside-joke kind of way. Tea at midnight in our bathrobes with liberal sprinklings of sly smiles kind of sexy. But I also find it just comforting. I actually wore it to bed the first night I had it. Overall I probably won't wear it often because it's not my normal type, but it's an interesting scent and I'm glad I bought it. Ordered a couple of other Tokyo Milk fragrances and I'm looking forward to them.

Oh hell yeah, this is work-safe Bvlgari Black. It doesn't have BB's legendary nose-assaulting new tire smell (found strongest in 90s/00s OG twist-lock bottles), but I'd say it's about 95 percent identical, actually affordable, and definitely scratches that itch. Compared with BB, Dead Sexy... • is sweeter • is more ambery • is more woodsy/resinous • still has the faintest soapy, rubber accord . . . . . . . . . . but isn't loud about it so it's SFW • is similarly powdery • is slightly less leathery • has tighter sillage (intimate vs arm's length) • has better longevity (12+hrs) • same dark, sensuous vibe • same unisex Y2K baddie vibe This one is best worn over clothes/hair, and in cooler weather. Otherwise, it starts to develop a weird, sour, DEET bug spray smell as it mixes with skin oils and sweat. I'll suffer the atomizer (it's stingy and has horrible range, so you have to hold it like 2 inches away from your skin), I'm just happy to finally have a cheaper, more wearable BB :')

Spraying with the bottle was super heavy, made my skin feel very wet instead of like a mist. Fresh out of the bottle, at first sniff had the odor of baby powder, waited 30 minutes and it finally settled into something more complex and woody, slightly floral. The vanilla became way more obvious than anything else, but the scent overall is as if a sweet tree bark was rubbed down with vanilla extract, flower petals and baked slowly for a whole day. Very rich and sweet aroma, and lasted a whole day into the next. Friends could smell it up to a good 4 feet away from me without it being overpowering or headache inducing. Honestly love the scent but I can see why it may not be for everyone considering how it first hit my nose.

Dead Sexy begins with a sharp resin ("bug spray") smell and heavier woods which fade fairly quickly, soon leaving a nice, spicy, vanilla-sweet, and smoky woods. This is one of my faves, it has a nice, strong personality and is great for fall & winter. It could definitely be worn by a man as well. I don't get much floral - they just peek through a touch a couple of hours into wear, the woods really cover them up. It is almost identical to "Pomme Poivre" from M.E.'s Love + Toast line - odd to copy yourself. This is definitely better, it's a little more potent. Is is also similar to Sage Oil's "Onyx" which has VERY heavy moss & woods, vanilla & tobacco (although not this is not as sweet and has no coconut.)

This is really nice smooth creamy sandalwood with SOME vanilla sweetness to it. It reminds me of THE 7 VIRTUES Santal Vanille, but here the sandalwood is smoother and more fragrant (probably from the orchid note). It isn't super unique by any means, but it's easy to wear. The ebony woods does come through as it dries down more and reads slightly smokey on my skin - slightly**, as I smell it up-close. I would have no have problems wearing this but my collection is huge at this point with a lot of bangers and this may get overlooked... I can imagine wearing this to a bon-fire or camping trip, going hiking - that sorta thing. This is Unisex.

In my quest to find a signature scent I've realized that most vanilla smells turn into suntan oil/lotion on my skin, but not dead sexy. This one stays consistently vanilla on me, and I love the richness, although it can be a bit overpowering. I think this works for my skin because it smells alcoholic in the way that vanilla extract smells alcoholic. It's also not too sweet smelling which I think helps a lot, and definitely gives it a boost over kabuki, which is a very similar fragrance. Edit: idk why I thought kabuki was that similar, it's much sweeter and with more citrus. It's distinct enough from dead sexy to be its own thing.

This was a blind buy based on reviews. I have a very hard time wearing gourmands or anything sweet--something in my chemistry takes it to pure cotton candy and cheap hand lotion. Instead of icing, the smell of the vanilla in this reminds me very much of that warm and sweet-but-bitter taste you get if you ever have tasted vanilla beans straight from the pod. The spiciness and wood make it feel a little bit dirty in a good way. I only get a bit of orchid late, but it is very pleasant on me. I do well in powdery floral. I do wish the 'dirtiness' stuck around a bit longer. While this is simple, it is a complete winner for me.

I get more soap and firewood than orchid and vanilla from this one-- but the vanilla is the stronger undercurrent and well matched with the woody notes. This doesn't have much longevity on me. I used the travel-sized rollerball that comes in a tin along with a lip balm. Maybe it's better to get the spray and to apply this on a greater surface, more skin and possibly the clothes if you want it to last longer or have more projection? This is a cold or cool weather, or night time scent to my nose. The "people who like this also like" includes several of my favorites: hypnotic poison, and old school lolita lempicka included.

This basically smells like sweet vanilla and boozy vodka. I don't get any powder from this. There are florals in the background but they are there to give the perfume structure. This is not a floral perfume and not gourmand either. Just picture vanilla and vodka. It does have a plasticky note in the background, but it's not bothersome. Some people in their reviews say this is masculine but I don't get that at all with this perfume. On me, it's very feminine. Very widely likable scent. I got mine directly from Margot Elena. 10 out of 10. For reference, I'm female.

On me this smells like a fresh/clean vanilla. It is an absolutely heavenly scent. I will admit that I can see where some people might be getting “plasticky” but ONLY upon the initial spritz. Smells quite strong at first but it dries down to a very fresh, slightly floral, creamy, smoky vanilla that lasts 8+ hours on my skin. I like to layer this with JHAG Superdose and I cannot stop smelling my skin when I wear that combination! I get whiffs throughout the day that smell so good I want to roll my eyes back in my head with pleasure. Seriously! I love this perfume!

This is such a nice creamy/spicy sophisticated and sexy vanilla scent. I love vanilla based scents so much and I own many of them, but this one is so unique. This is sweet without being cloying, I think the spiciness helps make this feel like a grown up vanilla fragrance. I like gourmand scents but sometimes they are too sweet, but this is just right. The vanilla is creamy and rounded vs smelling too juvenile. This isn't a complaint for me, but I would say this is a heavy scent best in colder months. If you like light airy scents, this wouldn't be for you.

Definitely a cool fragrance. Rubber? Yes indeedy. A slight whiff of new plimsols, tempered by a deep but shy salty, sexy vanilla musk base, the whole thing is rounded off beautifully by a soft, velvetty wood binder which holds the whole thing into it's delicate shape. Yes, its delicate, in the same way as a woman's bedsheets hold the scent memory of what happened two nights ago...it IS sexy, its a memory jogger. If I were twenty years younger, I would REALLY love it, but I'm not, so all I can say is, Nice, Young, You could do worse.

This was a blind buy and I wasn't crazy about it on its own. It's not a warm vanilla sugar type flanker (regular vanilla perfumes are harder hard to find than they used to be) although it still has a sort of synthetic quality to it that I couldn't place. Like lower budget vanilla perfumes before warm vanilla sugar came out maybe? I added light musk to it and that's all it needed. It's been one of my favorites to use as a base when I make my own fragrances because the dark wood and vanilla combination is so versatile.

If you love Dead Sexy, the Bon Bon Shea lotion version is even smokier, a little less sweet, more depth and silage. Who would have guessed. I LOVE the vanilla, caramel, amber, smoky woodsy NOT smoky tobacco. I agree with "smells like a sweet tryst on a wooden table" followed by vanilla. Wondering how it will be on long time male companion. He usually mixes his own essential oil based fragrances but I bet he will try this one. Silage - 5 hours & counting. Expense to joy ratio: excellent.

The smell of a sweet tryst on a heavy wooden table! Wait--did I say tryst? I meant meant shy flirtation touching hands briefly while drinking steamed milk with vanilla...The vanilla is sweet, but not heavy-toasted. The ebony note is fantastic! While Wish by Lollia was so sweet I had to scrub immediately, the sweetness of this one is perfect for the composition. On the top of my wishlist you go, Dead Sexy!

i loved this perfume all through middle school. no idea why i was wearing it at that age, but i loved it. very mature, wouldn’t wear this scent much now but it’s so good. was very strong but faded into a pretty unnoticeable scent, if my memory serves me right. i mean i didn’t wear it that long ago, i got my first bottle at 11 and my last bottle at 14, i’ll be 16 soon. so my memory isn’t that foggy.

Dead Sexy to me is a wonderful scent, It didn't carry as well as I had hoped but I'm glad it wasn't super strong either. It has nice layers that make it subtle and sophisticated. It is masculine but I think its a fine balance suitable for a woman who really likes the smell : ) The smell over all reminds me of the holidays in a log cabin, for some reason I always think I smell fir in the mix.

I dislike sweet, floral scents but this has just a hint of both and I am in love! Not cloying or overpowering. Very sexy for men or women. I see this as a cool weather fragrance. Im glad I don’t get anything that remotely resembles the plastic or synthetic vibe others have commented about. This is fantastic in a bottle.

This perfume layers very well with my Dior Pure Poison. I bought that perfume on a whim at Ulta and wowzers, it's strong. It tones down the heavy florals and now that we're heading into Spring, it's a very nice evening scent. Truth be told, I can layer this with just about anything. I just bought my 2nd bottle.

You did it again, TM! This is so warm, sensuous and the interplay of these unique notes make it so original. The vanilla is not too sweet and gives the scent a certain smokiness that compliments the ebony. The orchid provides a freshness that allows this to be perfect all year around.

Very addictive scent! It opens up a lot like Bvlgari Black, very smocky but much sweeter with the notes of vanilla; not cupcake kind of vanilla but heavy woody vanilla. The drydown is softer and sweeter reminds me of Amor Amor by Cachrel but without citrus. I am obsessed...

Oh yeah baby! Smells like smooth glossy wood in a high-end establishment. Totally unisex imo. It will get you noticed in the right ways, but won't be obnoxious and people won't complain. It's vanilla without being foodie.

Dead Sexy is the PERFECT name for this fragrance. It's beyond sexy and enticing. I wear this one to all the concerts I attend and it lasts all day/night on my skin. Margot Elena's best fragrance, by far!!

Holy crap, what a find, expected a dense syrupy vanilla, got sweet burnt plastic leather, i love love love it, pure chemical! Sorry to anyone who expected a sensual and sultry scent, this ain't it.

EXACTLY like bvlgari black on me. NOT mv3 (and believe me i wanted it to be like mv3 so bad). i love bvlgari black therefore i love this one :) not as long lasting though but still delish.

Yes- woods + plastic and I enjoy this a lot. Added bonus that I got a full bottle at an estate sale for $2! Has good longevity on me. The plastic note smells just like the Colorforms toys.

the woody/musky smell is very strong, and pretty much the only thing i smell unless im really focusing on the vanilla. i like it but it’s definitely an acquired taste/not for everyone.

Smoky, spicy vanilla. Intoxicating. I keep ducking down to my wrist to take another inhale. Dark and creamy and complex. I wish it lasted longer and projected further.

Dead sexy is... exactly the name. A warm, mature, classy yet not boring sexy smell. It stays beautifully intimately close to your skin. Its truly addicting.

This is my favorite scent. An intriguing smokey vanilla...not basic at all. There’s something about it that makes me want to sniff it in deeply its so good

Vintage 60s vinyl baking in the sun, a lovely sweet toxic smell that your not sure you should be smelling but you do anyway

So woody and reminds me of the woman who wore it. I have bought it three times now since and I always picture her.

My current favourite perfume. For some reason it reminds me of snow. It is snowing now and I am wearing it 🫶🏻

There is way more to this than the notes listed. It’s dark and a bit dirty and a bit mysterious.

I'm not the kind of person who uses words like "yummy." But this is yummy.

I love it! It's very unique while still having familiar notes.

Hmmm...this is really floral. I was expecting more wood...but I've only tested it on paper so far. It definitely leans feminine and very powdery also. I pick up on the orchid, vanilla, and powder notes more than the wood notes...but that's what I get from the paper-test. Two sprays on a napkin lasted overnight and fragranced my office nicely. Woke up this morning and walked in to a luxurious cloud of "Dead Sexxy" permeating the room...very VERY nice!! This frag has some power and sillage to it. Anyhow, I'm going to wear it out today with the wife on skin and report back. (3 hours later...) Welp, 3 sprays to the chest, one to each inner elbow, rear or neck and each wrist. Then layered with two sprays of "Lush - Honey I washed the kids" to the chest, on top. Fragrantic HEAVEN!! Projected and left a niiiiice sillage trail for the first hour and a half. Then retreated to a nice aura about me with a radius of 1-2 feet. This was in the 90 degree heat of the peak of the day. Returned home and took out the trash and got sweaty after running errands...which pretty much obliterated any projection/sillage/aura of this fragrance. Now it is a nice skin-scent that requires closeness to detect. So this fragrance definitely doesn't survive sweat and heat....without way more sprays. Overall, I still like it! The composition is awesome and it's classy enough to wear to work and while wearing a shirt and tie. Not a formal fragrance...but not a completely casual fragrance either. Sits perfectly in the middle and covers a bunch of bases!! Rating: 7/10

A dark and deep wood seeing the morning light reflect on the pink florals beneath. The faint smell of vanilla and damp bark combining with the pink floral to form a juxtaposition between light and dark, inviting yet fresh. This scent is really good for the first like 5 minutes and then it KINDA fades to next to nothing on my skin. A beautiful mix between soapy lotus and resinous woods with a vanilla backbone. It’s dry down is just the woods and vanilla getting more powerful as the orchid dries. Part of me wishes this wasn’t my introduction to ebony woods as it’s very understated here, but this is still a great fragrance. I can see those more used to stereotypical masculine woody fragrances saying this smells feminine but I still think this is unisex. The lotus is less super powdery and floral, and more musky and soapy; and it’s pretty understated besides the top. It’s good! It’d be REALLY good for someone who doesn’t typically like super woody scents or those just dipping their toes into the ocean that is woody focused scents. For the price I paid I can’t really complain about either the performance or projection, but it’s not that great on my skin. I’ll get a solid 4 hours out of this scent with moderate sillage if I dump 20 or so sprays on me. But for those seeking something a bit more intimate for themselves then this whole brand is a must try. Banger day time fall/winter scent in my opinion.

Update: too much powder from the orchid. I Just cannot do orchid I have discovered. What.... Are you kidding me?! <3 <3 <3 Blind purchased this and it has turned out to be incredible for every day. Opening: first second I got straight alcohol. After about five seconds it turned into a poof of powder and the wood notes started to unfurl for me. I was concerned it was too much powder. ( Had a powder issue over the weekend with Tokyo Milk Dark's Tainted Love... it gave me a MAJOR headache.) Anyways, after about five minutes it became super woody and the spice notes and vanilla began to emerge. This is when I started falling in love. It started to remind me of Gap Om! ( Probably favorite fragrance of all time! Don't judge! ;) ) It is a bit heavy, but I think you can get away with it on a winter/fall day in the office since it seems the sillage is moderate. Now it is starting to become a tiny bit sweet (vanilla and white orchid) but definitely not cloying or too floral. 2+hours: Powder is there put not overpowering--- just enough to keep it clean smelling and the spices and wood are still very prominent. Still Gap Om. Moderate longevity on this one though. Still missing a big chunk of vanilla. Not getting rubber at all. Layered it with the hand cream and lost almost all of the powder which is totally OK with me! Really getting the Om now. This one is a winner!

This leaves me speechless. Well, lets try write something down. First of all, this is very emotional fragrance for me. It will always be the smell of nights at Miami Beach, the endless darkness over the ocean, the wind in the palm trees. As a fragrance it's more suitable for these icy cold northern Europe nights and maybe to be worn with some dark-coloured wool, having a mysterious, intimate evening.. It's an amazing blend of vanilla and woods. I find it to be very, very feminine, I mean in a strong, unique and high-spirited way. I cannot imagine eg my boyfriend to wear it. Depending of the day I sense it differently, sometimes it's more of sweet vanilla, sometimes dark, smoky woods. Every now and then I wish that the woods were a little less loud, because I feel like I was in a carpenter's shop, in really nice and fancy one, but still! It might be the orchid note to give it its nice, feminine side that takes the heaviness off. It's nearly perfect. Sillage and longevity are both better than average. Not superb, but really good. Tho I think that my alpaca scarf absorbs it if I apply it to my neck... And on the scarf it stays nicely, I really like it that way! All together: I love it. Not a perfume for everyone to like, I think, but I absolutely adore it. And so does my boyfriend to smell it on me ;)

I love the interesting combinations that Tokyo Milk creates, however I'm not always sure that I like them......on me...that is. I sprayed a dollop of this on my wrist awhile back while visiting a funky import store in Portland's Pearl District. I was instantly in love....I couldn't stop groping my arm for the rest of the day and I'm sure people wondered what my major malfunction was. I swore I had to have it from that day on and months went by while I continued to night and daydream about it. It very much reminded me of MAC MV3 ( which I a.d.o.r.e.) I did indeed receive a bottle several months later for my birthday and strangely AND sadly it did not smell as I remembered. I still like it but it smells SO much sweeter to me than I remember....sickly sweet. Cloyingly sweet like cherry tobacco and marshmallows sweet. I don't get very much of the wood and smokiness that I remember from that first encounter and that I loved SO much. Personally I don't smell vanilla, I smell caramel and amber and I smell not a wink of floral. It does last for several hours on my skin and seems to keep it's strength. Not sure I would purchase another bottle when this one's empty but it's interesting for sure.

Time to review this, since I've just lost most of the contents of my bottle in a bag leak 😩 This is such an unusual and interesting fragrance, despite not having many notes. The combination of vanilla with ebony wood gives it a slightly dark, edgy feel, but for whatever reason there's a distinctive honeyed quality to the perfume. This has the most noticeable honey note of all my perfumes, yet honey isn't even listed. It gives the impression of smooth, polished ebony wood, with honeyed beeswax and orchid petals, and it smells slightly sweet and well rounded, but woody-sweet, not cloying or sugary. This is the kind of woody fragrance I find really wearable in any season, and either day or night seems to work. I have nothing else like it in my collection, and don't reach for it often, but am always surprised at how much I appreciate it when I do. I wear it when I want to smell different and unusual. Naturally it's discontinued and now I only have a drip left thanks to the bag spill. (The atomiser top screws on to the bottle - and unscrews - lesson learned) Worth a try if you can get your hands on it. There's nothing else like it that I've smelled out there.

A vanilla-leather-wood scent where the leather note comes off kind of rubbery or powdery, but in a good way. It is somewhat synthetic, but I actually rather like that aspect. It makes me think of a more wearable descendant of Bvlgari Black, a now-discontinued scent that I cherish but which is decidedly bold. Dead Sexy is softer and less likely to be divisive. I'm not sure I'd say it lives up to its name, though. It's not so much a sensual femme fatale vibe as it is an enveloping, comforting embrace, but it is nice. For me, this is in the same category as Andrea Maack Smart and YSL Babycat: a woody vanilla with a suedelike texture--though Dead Sexy is not nearly as sophisticated as those two. Not a dupe by any means, but it might be worth checking out if you're looking to try out that type of scent profile at a more affordable price point. I don't know that I need a full bottle of this, but I'm definitely contemplating one of those mini bottles Margot Elena sells, as I think I'd find this very cozy now that we're getting into colder months where I live.

This a great scent, but I do have a minor complaint. (A couple, maybe. But we'll see.) It evaporates WAY too quickly. I'm lucky if I can get four hours out of this! The only way I can get this to stick around is if I spray it directly on my clothes, and only then will I get a fragrance that will last. Minus the lackluster staying power, it's a rather decent perfume. It's the brand's best-seller, and with good reason. It's a spicy vanilla that's not overpowering, and it's interesting enough to keep the attention of the wearer. As others have mentioned, it can easily be labeled as unisex and can easily be worn by men who may be interested in venturing into sweeter, vanilla-based scents. Like other offerings in this line, the packaging is stellar! Even the cardboard tubes that they housed in are perfect for setting on one's vanity for display. The bottle itself is small enough for travel, and it can easily be thrown into a purse for easy transport. Plus, for a niche line, this is actually affordable.

I bought a full-size bottle of this for 2 reasons: the notes list and I am a big fan of the Tokyo Milk Dark line (which this isn't from). Tokyo Milk Dark fragrances have unique complexity & they bring out my inner late 90's goth teenager. This one smells like any other vanilla-heavy scent that you could find at Victoria's Secret. Don't get me wrong, it smells wonderful.. it's just too basic for me (as has been the case with the Tokyo Milk scents I've tested that aren't from the Dark line). I don't want to smell like everyone else. If you're looking for a warm & cozy nutty vanilla then this is for you. It would be great for date night or to buy as a gift for a younger person who loves vanilla.. but I wouldn't buy it for a niche scent-lover or cognoscenti. Otherwise, I HIGHLY recommend "Tainted Love" from the Dark line (my signature scent for the last 7 years). It is much more unique.

Not bad, as a male I think I would prefer this on a woman instead. Though its in the same vein as Givenchy Pi and midnight in Paris as it has that same vanilla note and softness to it. It is a sexy scent so the name is perfect. I blind bought this brand new for $26 shipped so I don't mind owning it. Overall I'm not shocked or anything, I feel with what I've read and heard about this is exactly what I recieved and that's always a good thing with this hobby. I just wish this lasted longer and had a touch of more woods but that lets me know that this would be great for you "layering" people. I can't layer, I like to experience each fragrance the way the perfumer intended it to be. Scent 7/10 Longevity 5/10 Projection 6/10 Quality 8/10 Overall 7.5/10

I am a huge fan of Tokyo Milk's Dark Collection, so when I was able to pick up this perfume for a steal at my local thrift store I was so excited. I really like the dark, rich vanilla that is in Dead Sexy. There is an air of the unknown that comes across with this scent and in a good way. I have noticed on warmer days there is more of a synthetic scent to the fragrance that I do not pick up when it is cooler. It does last about six hours on me and you don't need a lot as it does a nice throw. My favorite way to wear this scent is layering it under a lighter fragrance that doesn't last as long. That makes me feel like I'm getting more longevity from the lighter fragrance and it also helps center Dead Sexy into the dark mystery it is.
