A Modern Vintage
I love Moschino, their fragrances are either classy or crazy but they never disappoint, Couture follows in that tradition.
Despite the pepper note, on my skin Couture opens up in a sweet and rather soft fashion. Citrus and floral notes mingle in wonderful harmony with the pepper and prevent it from making it a dominant note. The middle phase is all about jasmine and has a woodsy feel about it. Woodsy with a slight vanilla edge that makes it very unique in its overall composition. The woodsy feel doesn't drown the flowers out, I can even smell the poppy! The dry-down mixes all notes into an unusual scent experience.
It's a sensual and 'soapy' scent, very bold and noticeable. It has a heavy vintage vibe about it, yet it's also modern, a 'bi-polar' scent that seems to combine the best of these two worlds. It reminds me a lot of Estee Lauders "Cinnabar", but Couture is more bold and gutsy whereas Cinnabar (to my nose) is shyer and demure. It's a scent that makes a statement its "Couture a la Parfum" and wants other people to know that too.
The bottle is also cute, who can resists a flacon with a ribbon AND a heart? : )
Silage is: "I am noticed and I should because I am classy and beautiful" -- Longevity is great: 7+ hours.
A bold, heavy and beautiful Moschino that is wonderful for evenings, dates and all those occasions that you want to make an impact. These days it's harder to get, but if you find it you must -at least- sample it, it's a vintage in the making.
