    The jewel of Moschino, undoubtedly Olivier Cresp’s best creation for the brand. What a pity they ditched their best fragrance. For me, it’s ideal for special occasions; every time I wear it, that last magical moment comes back to life. I can’t stand strong perfumes, spicy ones, or overly sweet ones. Couture! is sweet in just the right measure: sublime, elegant, subtle, with a powerful floral blended with woody citrus and a touch of refined vanilla. It’s an inexplicable scent, almost aristocratic. They gifted it to me at 28, and at 47 it still seems equally appropriate and sublime. It’s for a classic, elegant, or simple woman who likes to stand out at special events. It has good longevity and projection: noticeable without being invasive. You can wear it any time of year, but only for occasions, not daily. The bottle is very elegant, with a red velvet ribbon, engraved button, and golden heart cap. I’m not a perfumer, but I try to express what I feel every time I wear it.

  2. The scent can’t be explained with words; you have to feel it. Honestly, I can’t identify the notes, other than saying I feel a citrusy smell, a bit of a kick, but freshness, lots of freshness, a clean scent, subtle, fine, and long-lasting. It has a good trail and longevity.

    I just bought it; it’s too rich to explain. It’s a scent that lasts on my skin for hours. It cost me a fortune since it’s no longer made, and anyone who has it asks for it like it’s gold. It’s a true gentleman’s perfume, and I don’t regret what I paid, but I’ll use it for those special occasions because when the bottle runs out, it will be a beautiful memory. It makes me so sad because it always happens to me with everything in my life; I have it and then I lose it again. Bad luck seems to chase me with good perfumes; I lose everything in love. It’s very disappointing that good perfumes are discontinued just to throw away lovely, elegant bottles filled with eau de parfum!

  5. Hi, I just found this fragrance in Argentina, which is very difficult. A few years ago I smelled it but barely remember much, only the pepper in my memory, and it was fantastic, but over the years I almost don’t remember it, and where they have it, they don’t have testers. I don’t know if I could wear it with my eyes closed.

  6. I fell in love with it the moment I tested it on my skin; it’s my signature scent, and it kills me knowing they discontinued it and I can never use it again. I’ve been trying one after another for months looking for something similar or that defines me, but nothing so far. What a shame they stopped producing it; it always happens with the good ones, only the synthetics remain. A huge loss for me.

  7. I loved it from the day they applied it to my skin. I feel like it’s MY PERFUME, and it makes me feel terrible knowing they discontinued it and I won’t be able to use it anymore. For months I’ve been trying one after another to find something similar or identify with it, but for now, I haven’t succeeded. What a pity they don’t produce it anymore. It always happens with good perfumes; they’re slowly disappearing, leaving only synthetics. For me: a great loss.

    Ayyy, I fell in love when I saw it in a magazine: I could test it by opening the flap, and it lasted years on me. I felt super identified with it, but I couldn’t buy it then, and now it’s impossible to get in Argentina, boo hoo.

  9. I had it a while back, and honestly, it ended up wearing me out because it was excessively sweet; the pepper note splashed all over me. It has traces very similar to Lolita Lempicka’s Si, at least on my skin. Although it didn’t excite me too much, I get so angry when they discontinue good perfumes :-(. On the other hand, it’s curious how mediocre and synthetic perfumes stay on the market forever :-S

  10. I had it a while ago, and honestly, I got tired of it being excessively sweet; the pepper scent splashed all over me. It has traces very similar to Lolita Lempicka’s Si, at least on my skin. Although it didn’t excite me too much, I’m furious that they stopped making good perfumes :-(. On the other hand, it’s curious how mediocre synthetics keep going for a lifetime :-S.

  11. I searched and searched for this little jewel until I found it: it’s delicious, refined, and very much my taste. It’s for confident women; if you have the opportunity, try it, it lasts a long time. I have a dress soaked in that scent, highly recommended!

    It’s been one of my favorites since it came out. Rossella Jardini’s description is perfect: ‘an irresistible essence of life and pure joy’. I struggle to talk about each note because they’re so well blended. Definitely it’s woody benzoin, sweet with a touch of pepper. For me, it represents the sweetness and strength of a woman: it’s strong but not overwhelming, on the contrary, energizing. Couture! is unique, elegant, chic, and feminine. It’s not for everyone. It has good longevity and projection on my skin. What a pity Moschino left it. Whoever has it, I hope they enjoy it.
