Bear with me
...because I have a soft spot for the Moschino teddy bear perfumes. The packiging is kind of cute and kind of awful at the same time, definitely eye-catching. And I like the actual scents inside! Toy 2 is a nice fresh laundry scent, Toy 2 Bubble Gum is a really cute rosy bubblegum (duh) and Toy Boy is a surprisingly good masculine rose.
Toy 2 Pearl is the weakest link so far. I don't hate it, I just don't like it as much.
So, this is essentially a clean scent, which links it to the original Toy 2. Otherwise they're not similar.
I get a lot of lemon here and I understand why it gets compared to D&G Light Blue. They have a very similar structure, but notes-wise, Light Blue feels softer and a little sweeter. In Toy 2 Pearl the lemon blends together with the oregano note, which in my opinion doesn't smell that realistic, but still noticeably herbal. Together they remind me of lemongrass scented products. I don't get much of the florals or the mysterious sand note from this. The base consists of vague fuzzy woods and white musk. It's a bit sharp and synthetic smelling, but not unbearably so.
This is exclusively a warm weather scent, in winter this kind of synthetic freshness just feels off. It needs warm skin to give a freshly showered effect to. It's firmly a unisex scent, neither masculine nor feminine, just clean. A genderless robot couldn't go wrong with it.
I'm a bit puzzled about the name "Pearl" and the oilslick coloring of the bottle. There is absolutely nothing in this scent that reminds me of pearls, not even remotely, and if I had to assign a color to this scent, I would chose a bright, yellowish green.
