Couture!

I got a tester of this when I first bought D&G Light Blue a million years ago and I managed to come across it just the other day. It instantly transported me back in time. I agree with others that there isn’t a single dupe on the market unfortunately. It has a distinct spicy-ness to it that many of the candy sweet early aughts perfumes lacked. The staying power is incredible too. Definitely a great date-night perfume. Bring it back!

Managed to get my hands on this again after 20 years from eBay- £80 for 25ml bottle. This was my first perfume and I never forgot it. It’s an absolutely amazing unique fragrance. It’s fresh yet rich and aromatic. I tried all the similar recommendations for it, but nothing comes close. Huge mistake discontinuing this gem.

I had this in vial form way back probably 20 years ago when I was still in collage, sadly, I finished it and couldn't buy the whole bottle because I moved on to other brands. Even though I've accumulated dozens or more perfumes over the years, I am always looking for a scent similar to this, but never found one. So this time I ended up looking for it through ebay, found one and spent money on a 25ml bottle. After receiving it, I immediately sprayed one time on my wrist. And it brought me back to my past! It is still a lovely, unique scent, rich and classy. Only one spray and it stayed on for 8 hours! A word of caution, this perfume is strong, 1 or 2 sprays are enough, more than that will result to migraines.

This was an incredibly impressive and unique fragrance! The composition is strong and brings about a wave of nostalgia. The key is that specific soapy-shampoo note, which is distinct and makes the scent a masterpiece of unique perfumery. The lasting power is simply divine. It's a true, one-of-a-kind inspiration by Moschino. It's a shame this gem is now discontinued; I have yet to smell anything similar to it. 10/10 rating for its originality and performance.

@marshmallowbunny - 100% correct. There has not been anything the same or vaguely similar to this perfume since. One of the most unique, ambitious perfumes I have ever had. I got disappointed at every Moschino release since that was trying to fit into a 'serious' fragrance since. Don't get me wrong, i've loved a few of their lines like, I Love Love and Fresh, but they haven't dared to try and step out of the kitsch genre onwards of 2004 above. This perfume embodied the leopard print & leather era of Moschino design. They just don't seem to be throwing anymore passion into breaking the mould or creating 'mature' edge perfumes. Here's hoping for a miracle re-release, or another house to make something that unknowingly replicates it.

This may be one of the most, if not THE most, unique fragrance Moschino has ever created. Before anyone tries to tell you otherwise, there are no dupes for this one. It’s nearly impossible to describe this perfume with precision because the notes are so seamlessly blended that they form an entirely new and singular scent. I really dont understand why it was discontinued. A few years ago, before I knew it was out of production and back when I wasn’t really into perfumes, I casually asked my Mom (you can see her review down on this page from 2013, @lisaivette, she’s great!) to borrow it before traveling for work, I wanted something that smelled confident and grown up, and of course, because I am her beloved child, she agreed. When I say I sprayed it constantly and with reckless abandon… Like it was a $20 body spray. Only recently did she confess that it’d been DISCONTINUED (I’m screaming!!) well before she’d lent it to me, and that I’d unknowingly finished the last of it that she had. She loves me so much, sorry Mommy! 😭 This is her favorite perfume and signature scent. Anyway, it just makes me SICK that I can only get it for her by spending hours hunting and slaving away on the internet, and by paying dearly for the privilege lol. It feels beyond unjust that something so special should just vanish into obscurity. This is like a literal crime to me. Just why??

When I first spray Moschino couture, I smell fresh bergamot with a hint pepper. I also sense something old-school, like there is a low dose of aldehydes. It settles quickly within a few minutes to a creamy floral heart. To me the heart is abstract or blended too much. I cannot detect any individual notes. Again, it morphs very quickly (in less than 10 minutes) to the base. The base is mainly a sweet, vanilla amber (unfortunately I don’t get benzoin) with some woods. Pleasant and warm, but to me not very unique as everybody else is stating. Yes, MC is very likable, but very short lived on my skin. I will not reminisce too much after the remaining 20 ML I have are gone.

Probably the most unique gorgeous perfumes I've ever had. Unforgettable, after almost 2 decades I still remember that smell. What a shame it's discontinued.

It's been many years since my bottle ran out and I can still remember the scent... and still I look for something to replace this... please bring this back! Nothing can ever replace this beautiful fragrance

Burberry's new perfume Goddess has a little bit of the same vibe as Moschino Couture. It immediately reminded me of other perfumes I've had years before when I first smelled it. At first I thought it was just Burberry Brit and Mon Guerlain but the more I smelled it the more I smelled the similarities to this. It's a way weaker less unique version but there are definite similarities.

Moschino what a shame you have discontinued this masterpiece. I don't understand why this company sabotages itself. You keep Fresh Couture and the Toy line and you do not have this? Are you that humble or just don't want to keep anything classy and luxurious connected to your brand? Update : yesterday I smelled BU's trendy. It smells a lot like, if not the same, as Moschino's Couture! and it's really cheap! Ill buy it for next winter.

🗣Moschino Couture Edp: Moschino"Moschino, What Has Thou Done? And Why Was This Absolutely "GORGEOUS" Head Turning Fragrance , Ever Discontinued In The First Place!! For There's NO Other Perfume That Can EVER Replace It!!! A Total Crying Shame!!!

A perfume that I can't regret even after 15 years!

I’m just here reminiscing of fragrances I once owned. I loved this fragrance. I haven’t been able to find anything like it.

I still have not tested this recommendation on my skin but on paper Kate Spade "Live Colorfully Luxe" smells like moschino couture in the dry down. Moschino couture lovers try "Live Colorfully Luxe" by kate spade. Edit: Live colorfully Luxe is very very similar to couture, I finally am getting a good test in. At times I get little whiffs and to me it smells just like couture. It does have it's differences but very similar.

I found this very aromatic and as someone else said, a mood booster.it is a shame it’s not around anymore.luckily I still have another 25 ml left in my beautiful bottle ☺️

Fresh notes lasted the whole day with spicy flowers and vanilla woody base. Mood booster. Please, come back, my love

Going through old magazine fragrance samples & found this. It just smells like citrus smell on blue jeans smell. A little vanilla sugar towards the end. It smells kinda like a bath body works tutti dolce or Lemon chiffon purfume. with more of a Zing. One of mena Suvari favorites

Dear Moschino, please bring back this glamorous, warm and beauty perfume.

This is a very unusual scent ....nothing like this but despite created in 2004 ....this smells totally 90s .....the best era in perfumery to my opinion

This used to be a favorite of mine but I eventually passed it on and forgot about it. Lately I've been going through a bit of nostalgia for my old favorites so I found a nice bottle on eBay and snatched it up. Smells exactly like I remembered it - however now that I have a more experienced nose and arsenal of fragrance memories, I immediately labeled this as something familiar. Not familiar as in I have something that smells just like it - more of this smells like this and that mixed....so here goes: Moschino Couture! = 2 parts D&G Red Cap (original) + 2 parts Chanel #22 + 1 part SJP Lovely Now that I have that association I think I can live without it, but 15 years ago I thought it was absolutely groundbreaking!

Sad that this was discontinued. It was such a beautiful, feminine, classy scent that was truly oriental yet had a clean feel to it. I found something that smells similar at Bath & Body Works. It's the Aromatherapy "Balance" scent in Juniper/Coriander. That one is slightly less sweet and it needs to be on your skin for awhile for it to change and smell like. It's only available in body products, not a body spray but the lotion smells similar and is really dynamic and changes notes as time goes on.

I Found it on 2009 it was 10 years ago from now My First impression w/ this perfume was pretty good Just unique... . . Some citrus blended with little vanilla and working on me.... Longevity is moderate

Unique scent. Amazingly elegant. There's something celebratory about this perfume. I clearly detect the cedarwood and pepper combined with mandarin at the opening. The benzoin note stands out, along with vanilla and a tad of tartness. It's warm and luminous. I used to love this so much in my 20s. I hope I'll find it again.

Opens with citrus and herbal shampoo, clean and light. But quickly goes sour and cloying because of the pomegranate. I wouldn’t want to sit in a car with this on me or on anyone else. A scrubber.

When I got it as a gift back in 2006 it came as a pleasant surprise. Although not a fan of peppery nor woody scents I accounted Couture! as a mood elevator yet warm fragrance with a bold identity. Feminine and sensual with a highly sophisticated tone, once you smell it you never forget it!

Lovely perfume! I was lucky to find it in one small pharmacy as this one you can't buy in high street shops anymore. You can smell the real ingredients they could use before, it is a joy. Nowadays perfumes are lacking the real stuff, they are like instant soups, because after the regulations from certain years they are not allowed to use genuine, natural ingredients and is cheaper this way. Pitty, for that I stopped buying perfumes from really good big names(before they were really good, like Dior, Gucci,...), it is not worthy, artificial and doesn't meet the expectations.

There is something Tauer:esque about this little gem! I definitely like this one a lot. I am always on the outlook for truly good orange perfumes and I love Allure edt for that. Only wish it was stronger in Cinema and I have yet to try Orange Sanguine by Atelier. This is mandarine and a true and juicy mandarine orange at that. It´s a round, fruity realistic orange mandarin opening that is also slightly peppery, but not too much. I like how it´s pepper and not pink pepper, because here the latter would have taken over, possibly. It´s great with the dash of stern, but non-floral black pepper here.I get a fresh spiciness all through, but it´s not food-like or sweaty or anything like that- just tangy and round and slightly dessert-like. Not too much vanilla, but a pleasant and obvoious dose of benzoin sweetens it up and rounds the edges. I also adore the pomegranate and I imagine that note helps in promoting the lovely mandarine orange note and it lasts and lasts. The warm fruityness goes on until the end and BTW, this perfume lasts a long time. beautiful peony and jasmin combo- bright and soft and sexy at the same time and my favourite cedar keeps the composition stable and kind of unisex. It´s a dear scent. Like I said, someone had a little Andy Tauer in them when creating this- what was he doing at the time? I think he was actually just setting up shop around when this came out...

ho comprato questo profumo in un mercatino di milano a 15 eu,è stato come comprare un quadro e poi scoprire che è un picasso. è un profumo eccezionale inebriante non posso immaginare che non lo producano più questo gioiello.

Why did this otherwise interesting frag have to go so sour on skin, why? Loved it in the bottle, even in the first minutes, but then it's horrific. Could be pepper+pomegranate combo. Not having this issue when sprayed on clothes, though something in it bothers me in the drydown still. Such a shame is discontinued, it was probably the most daring from Moschino.
