It’s genderless and uber-cute and has been described as citrus, woody, floral and spicy.
Editor Trudi Brewer shares the latest designer scent from luxe-y Italian brand Moschino.

Stacked with energising, floral, musky, woody, and spicy ingredients, this new Toy 2, Pearl is also in the iconic teddy bear-shaped, holographic bottle, but this time it’s inspired by the ocean and Tahitian mother of pearl. The only way I can describe it is that it’s refreshing but with a slight cologne-like masculine edge. It’s also breezy and easy to wear.
What’s in it?
It starts with a salty lemon burst, woody oregano, freesia, jasmine, cypress vetiver, and the synthetic aroma of sand as a nod to the ocean’s seabed that inspired this scent. Finally, what lingers is the touch of white musk that adds ultimate softness.
This latest Toy 2 Peral comes in two sizes, Moschino Moschino Toy 2 Pearl EDP 50ml, $145 and Moschino Toy 2 Pearl EDP 100ml, $184, pictured here.
Why do we like it?
Let it be known that I never turn down a fragrance with citrus notes. This fragrance perfectly recreates the scent of salty, spicy lemon, which hits you from the first spritz - and that freshness gives it a pure gender innocence. One whiff of Toy 2 Pearl, and you could be at your favourite beach summer or winter with windswept hair. Finally, the musk adds the perfect balance to that tangy bite. It’s the ideal scent for anyone who likes the sweeter things in life.
Another designer expression of loving our true selves.
