TokyoMilk Kabuki No. 9 by TokyoMilk for Women - 1 oz EDP Spray

I get compliments on this scent all of the time. It's my daily fragrance. Light enough to wear to work and stays on all day.

Kabuki is a really unique sent. It starts out as strong, sweet playdoh. I don’t get much lychee at all… instead it packs a strong artificial vanilla punch. At first I immediately thought yuck and regretted this blind buy… It burned my nose a bit because it was so SWEET! But as it dried down, the vanilla playdoh scent lightened up a bit. I still don’t get any lychee or grapefruit, and instead it is still a sweet vanilla sugar bomb without much depth. I agree with other reviews that say it’s strong, so only a spray or two is needed.I can’t tell if I like it or hate it? It’s an odd scent. Truthfully it’s not something I’m going to reach for often. I’m curious to see how it layers with florals, musks or bright citrus scents though.

I'm going to start by saying a purchased the sample pack and fell in love with the scents/musks. I used the Kabuki sample everytime I would go somewhere besides work. The small sample bottle lasted for months. I decided to buy the biggie bottle and am just simply in love.I've read through the reviews out of curiosity and have to disagree with people that say the smell doesn't last.1) The scent starts off strong at first, so recommend a 1 or 2 spray at max.2) You get use to the scent once it's on you, so you will not personally smell it.3) I get compliments on my scent from people that are close enough to smell or pass close by me. I am not aiming for a scent that knocks everyone out as soon as I want into a room. That's just ridiculous in my opinion.4) If I go to bed with the scent on from the morning (because I am a busy body and collapse into bed without showering some nights) my bed and pillow will smell like my scent.Kabuki is one of my top favorites and go to and I love that it's not too flowery.

Very different. Can't decide if I like it. Very clean and soft.

It's has a bit of a powder smell like baby powder which I hate a little. It also does not seem to last long
