smelling this is like stepping through a portal to the past. it takes me back to a memory with my mom at jcpenney around christmas time. she’s looking at clothes, and things between her and my dad are better than they are now. i’m wandering the aisles, looking for her. life felt simpler back then. i stumble upon a blue tube of lotion with a snowman on it, and it instantly reminds me of older memories—back when we lived in the old house and built snowmen after every snowfall. i carry the lotion with me as i search for my mom, taking occasional sniffs. when i find her at the register, i beg her to buy it, and she does. i couldn’t go a minute without opening the cap to smell it. i remember that scent vividly, and it smells just like this. it’s indescribable but so comforting—sweet but not cloying, unique yet familiar. this fragrance gets an 11/10 from nostalgia alone.

A dusty room filled with open books, in the windowsill lies unlit incense, with a complex slightly innocent bittersweet grape scent that takes up the top, really love this one. Thankfully don't get any mango at all since im not a fan. I associate it with memories of visiting museums in the capital city as a child, and then falling asleep in the car on the drive home. Because of its mix of sweet fruity florals and the dark incense backing, it works perfectly in any season and any weather. True love at first sniff for me

This is a vampy scent in my opinion, I’m surprised by most of the notes being picked up by others as for my nose I smell more bodily scents in a good way. It has a mulled wine, crushed rose petal and powdered skin scent with a hint of sweat and dirty hair? But it’s sexy, I’d wear this at night I feel like it smells like skin contact and sex in an old castle (there’s a dusty quality to it) after a night of drinking wine and walking through rose gardens. It reminds me of something a sensual vampire would wear.

The moment I sprayed it, I was wrapped in a wave of nostalgia—sweet, powdery, and comforting, like a long-forgotten childhood memory suddenly brought back to life. It instantly reminded me of the giant baby doll I had when I was 5 or 6, almost my size, with that soft, powdery scent that I adored. I carried it everywhere, and somehow, this fragrance captures that same comforting embrace.

I Adore this perfume, for me this is a fruity- powdery gardenia and it 's complex and very feminin. I can use this in all season. In the beginning the fruity aspect is stronger and there is a fizzy grapey feeling wich goes well with the gardenia. Then the composition settles down to a calming creamy-sweet powdery base. Beautifule, it makes me happy and elegant.

This was my first full bottle buy from this house. Very elegant and loud, flowery mostly - gardenias, iris, fruits and balsams reign over this beautiful perfume. Leans more feminine, has a strong presence, anything BUT anonymous. Reminds me a bit of Fleur de Rocaille and a tad of Forbidden Games from Killian. Its really beautiful and different.

я opens with a beautiful dryness, a dry champaign that folds into a floral fruity note, its comes across bubbly something id normally link with aldehyde's but this hits different and feels more real. This is a stunning piece

This is like wearing a childhood memory—but make it high-end. Spot on lip gloss from your Bratz makeup play set is the main note I get but now it’s grown up, expensive, and incredibly classy. The opening is super powdery, almost like fresh, soft makeup (in the best way), with a tiny hidden kick of pepper in the background. There’s a definite “freshly done laundry” feeling to it, with a gentle, subtle floral vibe and it’s not overpowering, just warm and comforting, sticking close to the skin but very much there. It lasts a solid 6 hours, and I’ve had a couple of “You smell so nice!” comments, which—period 💅🏻 Its range is more personal, so it doesn’t scream for attention, but if you’re close enough to me, you’re going to catch that little “What is that?” moment. It’s like wearing 2008 nostalgia but making it sophisticated. Playful, soft, and totally wearable.

I went to a niche perfume shop in SF and got a sample of this. Initially I smelled a strong synthetic grape that I didn't like off the opening. Reminded me of a grape flavored vape or grape cleaning products. The scent transitions to a sandy, powdery, floral scent that became more enjoyable. This scent gives me the feeling of meeting a sophisticated girl at a high-end bar late at night. Then before you know it you wake up hung over from the champagne, unable to remember anything from last night. The smell of grape vape and floral scented makeup lingers than fades away to nothing just like your memories of the girl. I wouldn't personally wear this out in public. I find it too feminine for me. Not a bad scent overall, I would appreciate smelling this off a female after the dry down. 7.5/10 for creativity and being unique

i bought a sample since with this sort of pricing there is no blind-buying and i'm quite sad. to me this is a hauntingly beautiful and vintage-like scent profile. the grape is prominent and syrupy with the powderyness ever so present throughout the journey of the scent. it feels oddly romantic, invoking memories of telenovelas i grew up watching. it's sweet with an edge, like medicine that some are reluctant to take despite it being helpful. what saddens me is that while the scent is pleasant to my nose, it's a curse to my head if it makes any sense. i'm not sure what aspect of this fragrance makes my head start to pound but unfortunately i can't investigate that any further. hopefully i'll eventually be able to find a similar fragrance that won't cause this issue • ᴖ •

opens with a light alcohol and fruity note. the grapes are not that heavy. and next, it becomes super sweet, it smells like an older sister doing her makeup and hair in a bathroom once upon a sunny day on vacation. i’m questioning why is it called “I”, maybe the author was raised by women, or is he showing us his insides, which are soft and sweet. nevertheless, it’s more like a luxury perfume, it doesn't vary as much as the other fragrances from Toskovat. 7.5/10 cuz i like sweets and fruits :3

i have never in my life smelled a fragrance with a grape scent like this before. not only did i get hit with childhood grape soda nostalgia, but this perfume also teleported me back to when i was in japan and was buying candy for my brother. since i really loved that frozen grape ice(cream???) that was sold at every 7eleven, i bought him some soft grape candy- and it is the same scent!!! take me back :(

The initial blast is grape flavoring, synthetic but not displeasing or screechy, then up close it smells like sharp white florals with touches of the grape flavoring giving them a fruity edge. I can see this coming off feminine to some people but I think it's unisex. I think it's better in concept than execution

the first thing i said when smelling я for the first time was “...there’s a woman in here.” it smells like something syrupy & vanilla & cherry. it smells like seductiveness. but, if i’m honest, it also smells like antibacterial hand soap.

It's literally okay. Kind of smells like cherry cola and flowers but sad. Like old grandpa's house with the TV on. Woody, trailer home walls, gas station bathroom, dollar store incense. Sharp and smoky, heavy only for a moment and drifts away. Boyfriend said it smells the way cough syrup tastes after you swallow it. I actually wish it smelled more like that, which would be far more unique than the actual scent. It is not really feminine but at the same time a man should not wear it. It kind of evokes the feeling of a male space where a female just walked by. Grandpa probably scared her away. Weak projection and silage especially for Toskovat', which in my explierience tends to last about 54 years and project for miles. 5/10

Man all of toskovat perfumes are good. But apart from last birthday cake, I would not get a full bottle of any scent.. this is very enjoyable, it really is, but the powdery notes... So strong.. it almost reminds me of a skin care cream..

Not a bad artisan femme bomb. Litchi, dry florals and bubbly wine shine through to my nose. Heavily nuanced but it’s not the best blend. Boils down into an ok wear. Meh.

That punch of Litchi in the top is a bit much for me. Evolves to a robust resinous tropical floral, and never loses the fruitiness.

this smells like how cherry cough medicine tastes

Я (pronounced "ya", means "I" in Russian) starts with pure candy -- a slug of ethyl maltol, which soon goes fruity and floral. There's a rainbow of tropical fruit flavors in there -- and, yes, somehow it also smells of sand! Something shadowy is stalking the flowers, also; there's a sense of a gaping void. But the main event is a candy-sweet, ultra-artificial, colorful fruity floral, of a sort I find too tacky to love. In about ten minutes the powder comes out and dominates: a very legible lipstick/face powder scent, with violets. This part is more civilized, though also not my favorite thing to smell like. Gradually it blends with the candy: now we have sweet pink powder. Very feminine, very trashy. You're paying high-concept niche prices to smell like some popstar's celebrity fragrance. Sillage like whoa. I can't get away from this cloud of Starburst candy.
