Anthemoessa No. 84
Tokyo Milk (2017)

Begins smelling like a plastic, baby-doll right out of the packaging, brand-new. It's an odd smell, for a perfume - especially the beginning. I've smelled this in perfumes before but this, is particularly strong. The four notes here, merged, are a very strange blend indeed.

The flowers smell as though they are past their prime - an almost honeyed, rotting thing. Nearly cloying. The grapefruit smells more of hard candies, than of actual fruit. The sandalwood is like it has been soaking in some type of floral, liquid potpourri or wax-melts dripped onto it. Sound awful thus far? I actually kind of like this weirdo.

Anthemoessa actually begins to smell of toasted coconut later on. Honeysuckle becomes stronger. The whole thing smells straight-up synthetic in every way, shape, and form.

This, is an odd one, ladies. You probably wouldn't like it. I do, mostly. But then, I'm not right, in the head.

It eventually settles the hell down, to become more of a floral thing - less chem-lab experiment.
