Tokyo Milk

I don't know how many others of you have discovered the joys of Tokyo Milk but as my bottle of "Waltz" is getting low I thought I'd check up on their latest and initiate you in the joys of perfumes of the sort Marie Antoinette might wear. In fact, Tokyo Milk's whole vibe is right up this particular costumer's alley - how can you not love scents with names like "I want candy" and "Let Them Eat Cake?"

Waltz is my favorite. I've long been a fan of Linden, I love the smell and it's a fragrance that was a la mode in the 18th C, but it can be very hard to find. Waltz is a lovely light combination of linden, honeyed rose, wisteria and white musk.

I Want Candy is another one I own. While still very floral is has some fruity notes - it's a yummy mix of apples, peaches, violets and roses.

But I must admit I like Honey and the Moon better than I Want Candy. It's a blissful blend of honey, violet, jasmine and sandalwood. And I swoon for a good jasmine scent.

I'm dying to try a few I hadn't seen in Anthroplolgie, where I got my last bottles. In particular Dead Sexy and Poe's Tobacco have caught my eye. Next time I'm in Reston I'll see if Antho has them so I can do a sniff test.

They also have wonderful bubble baths (you just KNOW you want to take a bubble bath in a scent called "Marie Antoinette" - I do!), solid perfumes (Mmmm, sugarplum!)  and lip balms (Petit Fours and Honey Blossom are sooo yummy!)

Ooh, you can get some of these at Anthropologie? I'll have to check it out, because I'm always switching up perfume scents. Lovely!

Have you tried their soaps? They smell sooooo yummy. Every time I head into the shop that carries them, I always end up carrying around this one.

Sounds scrumptious! I'll have to check a few perfume shops around here. Amazon sells it, but not Amazon.co.uk.
I got a vial of the original Eau de Cologne in Cologne, Germany last weekend (same formula since 1709). www.farina1709.com

I love Tokyo Milk. Oy, I've got lip balms, soaps, bubble baths, and cream perfume stacked up in every corner of the house! I'm such a sucker for their packaging. My favorite is their violet balm. Yay!

It's so lux isn't it? I was psyched to see they've got my favorite Waltz in bubble bath!
