Everything & Nothing

I really like this scent, the balance of white florals, sweet orange, and earthier notes like moss and tea is just somehow magical. It's like Red Riding Hood traipsing through the forest with a basket of goodies. The first hit once applied is a sweet freshness, like entering a meadow to pick wildflowers while the scents wafting from the basket mix with those of the distant forest. The orange scent weaves in and out here, but doesn't really read as "citrus" to me, and certainly isn't tropical; it somehow comes off as a more gourmand note, like thin candied orange slices. In these opening notes, I pick up the white florals perhaps the strongest, but they are balanced by the orange so it doesn't come off as a traditionally floral perfume. Even though sweet, it is not cloying, nor overpowering. After an hour of this pleasant sweetness, the Earthier tones start coming through, as if Red's gone from the dewy meadow to the outskirts of a damp forest, and is now picking her way through the underbrush and getting her bearings. The sweet scent is still there, but lighter, now flanked by richer scents of moss and tea. It's this middle wear which is my favorite, though I love it start to finish. The earthiness grows deeper for a while, as if going deeper into the forest, with the day wearing on, with perhaps the scent of a wolf snatched up by the breeze now and then. But then it begins to lighten again. The tea recedes, though the moss still balances the sweetness, as if I've gone past the thickest trees and am headed to the other side. The sweeter orange scent begins to fade entirely. At last even the moss recedes, and everything lightens, as if we've finally reached Grandma's house and are inside now, but the scent of the forest still comes through the window. The "final form" of the perfume rests very close to the skin as a soft tea-tinted floral, as if Red finds real-grandma waiting, not a wolf, and grandma gives her a cup of soothing green tea with petals afloat to rest after the journey.

This is the perfume that made me fall in LOVE with fragrance. The first one that made me feel strongly, the one I still smell when I need to feel hopeful and alive. I'm sure not everyone will have such a strong scent-memory associated with this fragrance, but I first smelled this when I was deeply depressed, and it pulled me out of my apathy. Smelling this is a way of reminding myself how amazing life can be, even when its often awful. This was the first full-size perfume I bought, ever. I was 16 and clinically depressed, and I asked my mom to buy the full-size for me. She reluctantly did, and I treasured that bottle until it went bad about 10 years later. I immediately re-purchased it. Still one of my all-time favorites, Its floral without being overbearing, citrus-y without being sharp. Smells like a deep breath of clean, cool air feels. <3

This is one of my signature fragrances. The name is what got me. It has a philosophical emo vibe to it, like an Evanescence song. I'm a stereotypical Pisces so this sort of thing appeals to me. The strange thing is that the orange is very soft and in the background on me. I don't get much tuberose either. What stands out is the tea leaves, which for some reason Fragrantica leaves out. When I first tried it I got a rush of nostalgia, and then I realized: it smells like Green Teatherapy on me! I have so many pleasant memories of that inexpensive fragrance in high school. Everything and Nothing is like that mixed with oranges and a few more white florals. It's very soft and not at all harsh on me. But then again I can wear green fragrances and white florals very well.

I am glad I got to try this one before reading the reviews here, or else I probably wouldn’t have bothered. I could smell a small bit of citrus from the bottle, but once the scent settled on my skin it faded away pretty quickly and I was left with a beautiful floral, mossy, tea scent. I was surprised to see not many notes listed because to me, it smelled complex... yet simple. Intriguing yet familiar. Simultaneously a dark autumnal dusk and a breezy spring morning. Everything & nothing. I couldn’t stop thinking about this scent after I left the shop and it’s on my list to buy. The longevity was roughly 6-8 hrs on my arm but the sillage was about arm’s length initially, then closer to the skin as the day carried on. My favorite Tokyomilk scent so far.

Just received this scent as a gift! Thx babe, you rock!! I really enjoy this one! I love the way the sweet orange and the pressed petals combine to create this yummy, sweet citrusy, soft sweet floral composition which smells almost edible to me! It's creamy, sweet & fresh... it smells really good to me!! I would probably prefer to wear this one in spring and fall, but I will reach for it even on cold winter days, because it also seems to embrace me with a certain cuddly warmth... I really love this one! Good sillage & longevity 7+ hours ♥♥♥♥♥
