Ichigo Ichie

Initial spray it’s very beautiful. Came off more floral than the cream note but drying down it popped out. In some weird way there’s a citrus that kind of smells like silent in the theme park from Toskovat’ but it’s totally different to it. But Ichigo Iche actually feels sad in dry down. In the dry down it’s very woodsy musky tea, and the greenish smell that helps and connects with the steam note. Nice creamy floral earthy more green smell and a bit cloth like. Ichigo Iche really reminds me of an old Japanese era of lifestyle. Like summer and the lady’s that put a killer amount of the clay powder on their face while smelling sweet and floral, very faint smoky wood but not offensive smoky more.. steamy. A youthful woman yet that scent of maturity. I do agree slightly with other reviews that it’s a skin scent, Ichigo Iche would be very good if it was stronger yet a trained nose will detect it. But maybe that’s what it is, I think of it as meeting a woman and getting to know them, like if it was how they’d naturally smell coming from a older era of a Japanese life. Since after all Toskovat’ is about memories. It feels like chasing for something to not go but now it’s only the things you’ve kept onto and the smells are glimpse of those memories. Definitely summer/ warmer and not colder seasons. But I’ve never tried it in the cold yet. Definitely a 4.5/5 Star only because of the how weak it can be yet so beautiful.

As someone who is half Japanese and grew up in Japan, this one was an emotional experience for me. About a minute after I sprayed this, it instantly took me to my Japanese grandmother’s house. It smelled just like her tatami room (traditional room with grass mat flooring) when there’s a bit of leftover sweet incense smell in the air and flowers by her butsudan (altar). The distinct smell of the tatami flooring mats really shine in this - I’m assuming it’s from the hinoki. There’s a beautiful earthiness combined with the sweet floral and incense notes. This fragrance evoked such an emotional reaction for me. It reminds me of my late grandmother who I absolutely adored. I will definitely be purchasing this. It’s a masterpiece.

i've been testing out a sample and i'll definitely save up to buy a full bottle. this fragrance smells as if you're sitting on an antique chair within a greenhouse full of flowers, an incense burning in a tray on top of the table in front of you while you're drinking tea. there's pollen in the air and it's ever so slightly cloudy outside with little rays of sun peeking through. i'd probably wear this more in fall through winter because i live somewhere hot and humid where the smoky aspect of this fragrance would be too much for the majority of the year (it only gets cold for maybe 2-3 months) + ̊⊹⋆

This is my #2 top Toskovat "wearable" fragrance. P0rns*ar being #1. It's such a comfy scent. It's got that floral open but the dry down on my skin is so powdery and incense forward. To me it is a nostalgic smell that I can't quite figure out where I have smelled it before. Which I think is why it is such a comfortable wear for me. I wear it on my super stressed out days so that I can just sniff my wrist and teleport myself out of reality for a moment. I will be getting a full bottle in the near future

Reminds me of my mom in her late 20's, fun fresh and ready to have fun with her other single mother friends and talk bad about men, share their latest dinner hack recipe from the magazine, and drink copious amounts of caffeine. It's zangy, tang, fruity, and extermely tropical with mentholated undertones probably from the tea, or green tea in particular. The scent does fade into an almost cotton-linen freshly washed laundry scent mixed with clean skin scent.

scent for a chaste woman, a bit vintage, non-offensive, powder, blossom and pears. reminds me of a mix of Margiela’s Lazy Sunday Morning and Whispers In The Library. dries down quickly enough, but that is what such a woman would want - the perfume that doesn’t scream, but comforts. also it smells like how i imagine the scent of the springtime in japan. 9/10 good job David.

Starts off with a pungent cream soda, but dries down with juicy and unique fruits and powdery florals. Very well blended and has a steamy feel to it also. After 4-5 hours on my skin it becomes more of a skin scent and tea and light and warm incense come out to replace a lot of the florals. Great projection but below average longevity. Incredible scent tho. 9/10

sweet plum tea sexy beautiful, smells as if you are a samuri in fantasy japan sitting by a river drinking a sweet plum infused tea with your sword on your lap, this is fucking phenomenal incredible and a near 10/10 perfume scent 10/10 silage 8.5/10 longevity 9/10 dry down 10/10 artistry 10/10 total 9.5/10

To me, this is gorgeous and feminine. I get almost all the notes in the pyramid. Also my family complimented a bunch when I wore the sample out, so I didn't get the problem of no projection some people seem to have!

For me this is a very happy scent, my mental image is a view of the sea from a cozy room with lit incense and a flower garden, before noon when everything is quiet and people are busy elsewhere

this is so fun and electric and bright. i would buy a whole bottle. it smells like “lord of misrule” by Lush grew up and got a high dollar office position and vacations in expensive places.

Easily my favorite of the toskovat line up. Great rich tea scent for me. Shame it only ends up being a skin scent on my skin, but it’s fine as I really only wear it leisurely.

this is very inoffensive and beautiful and stands out from the rest of the toskovat range i think its super gorgeous light fruity and feminine

adore. smells angelic and best toskovat' scent for me, even after almost 3 months since I first tried this masterpiece

Its my favorite Toskovat so far. And it gives Frederic Malle Portrait of a Lady as smell. 10/10 fragrance for me

If anyone has a bottle of this they are looking to sell, PLEASE message me!!!

this is what angels smells like

Finally got the chance to sample this and it's good! The top notes smell exactly like the church I went to growing up and my dad had described it as a scent for saints, whatever that may be. On paper, the notes are spot on: I smell the cream soda and it's also light, fruity, and floral. But on my skin, it's thick, sweet, smells a lot more dense and while it leans more feminine on me, it smells woody on others. Could I agree with the sentiment that Toskovat had put behind the title (Ichigo Ichie = one time, one meeting/one lifetime, one encounter) and poetry attached to this fragrance? "It was just one moment. Just one lifetime. And there were many glimpses of beauty along the way." Sure. Although it gives off a much more fun and lighthearted feeling smelling this...Maybe I remain expecting more and perhaps something deeper. 8/10 Also, sampling this was made possible by LensDecants! I had to search EVERYWHERE for a sample of this

Easily my most expensive blind buy, but given how hard it is to get hold of a Tosovat', I figured I can sell it. But I won't. I didn't love this at first sniff on paper, and I won't lie: I thought I did made a pricy mistake. Even after a few sprays on skin, I wasn't really getting it. I could smell sweet things. Tea. I think cream soda. Definitely fruit. It was confounding. The thing is. I could not stop sniffing. Even now, I want to spray some to take in all the notes. I don't understand it, but there's a weird addictive quality to Ichigo Ichie. Is this the part of the Toskovat' experience? It's not like I love it... but I am drawn.

This is extremely Artistic and Complex. This TO ME smells like Nail polish and cream soda / Powdery make up and Cream soda with some florals and fruits in the back. Now don’t be turned off by what I said about Nail polish or a powdery smell I 100% think you should at least sample this and give it a try. It’s Unique, different and will probably make people think about this scent for days with how Exclusively unique it is. ALSO let this scent grow on you a bit you might be appalled at first sniff.
