Wetter is better... [reviewing Toy 2 Pearl edp, by Moschino]

 The iconic Moschino teddy bear has had an ethereal makeover! A distinctively fresh new fragrance!

Inspired by Tahitian mother of pearl, Toy 2 Pearl is a fragrance of simultaneous whimsy and opulence. Its scents are familiar yet fantastical and the citrus accord emerges in two forms as the initial wave of sharp lemon is followed by sweet sherbet which gently bubbles to the surface.

The zesty opening is followed by elegant heart notes of jasmine, sand and freesia reminiscent of an island paradise surrounded by crystal blue waters before rounding off with sweet vetiver and invigorating cypress.

I'd been looking forward to .thisfragrance ever since I first read about it, but it took a while to show up and I'd stopped looking. I came across it in Superdrug when I intended to rebuy the regular edition of Toy 2, but my original intention was instantly forgotten in favour of getting my hands on a bottle of Pearl since my first impressions of it were positive.

How will I feel about it after a month's worth of all day wear.   o
