Moschino Toy 2

The Moschino Moschino Toy 2 Review

When a fragrance achieves the kind of ubiquity that Moschino Toy 2 has, cynicism is the easy response. The harder — and more honest — question is: why? What is it about this EDP from Moschino that has made it a fixture in so many wardrobes across continents? Released in 2018, Moschino Toy 2 built its following on Fruity, Floral, and years on, it has not lost a step.

Housed in an iconic teddy bear bottle, this fragrance is a playful yet sophisticated clean fruity-floral with a bright apple and peony heart.

Fragrance Notes Deep Dive

Every great fragrance tells a story in three acts, and Moschino Toy 2 is no exception.

As the top notes settle — typically within the first 20–30 minutes — the heart of Moschino Toy 2 emerges: White currant, Peony and Jasmine. This is the true signature of the fragrance, the character that those around you will come to recognise. Finally, the base of Musk, Sandalwood and Amberwood anchors the composition, providing the lasting trail and the memory Moschino Toy 2 leaves long after you have left the room.

The overall accord profile leans toward Fruity, Floral, making Moschino Toy 2 a composition that reads with purposeful clarity to anyone paying attention.
