Emilie Coppermann's tribute to Japan's fifth season conjures the tenderness of spring rain on a spring-blooming garden. The raspy fruitiness of blackcurrant bud, the slightly anisic basil and an unusual, milky dandelion sap accord shower different splashes of green in the top notes. The heart yields another type of moistness with cyclamen; star jasmine, which is spicier than real jasmine, adds its sensuous flesh to the delicate blend, carried by a gentle cloud of musk.

A wistful and delicate scent with a sensuous undercurrent, and a poetic tribute to the fleeting beauty of the “floating world” captured in classic Japanese woodcuts.

Here's what other people are saying about Tokyo Bloom...

A zippy, watery, yellow green. Very pleasant and fresh. The predominant note is the dandelion, which comes out with a citrusy bite that's a bitter yellow, like the pith of a lemon, but in a vegetal way. The dandelion is supported here by an uplifting whitish floral note and the "higher" notes of basil. I don't get much of the blackcurrant, but there is an underlying tartness. Some lingering sense of aldehydes, but not in an overly soapy way. Disappointed that it's the nature of bright green fragrances to dissipate all too quickly, and Tokyo Bloom is no different. But for the time it's here, it's a lovely, uplifting summer scent. 9/10

Nope. This was fresh and green for about a minute and then turned into what I can unfortunately only describe as clean porta-potty. Thankfully it has very low sillage and staying power so I only caught whiffs of it for a few hours before it settled into a very generic musk.

I love this scent! I have a weird body chemistry and I have a huge problem finding perfumes that smell good on me. Every perfume I try ends up smelling the same on me once it dries down and I also have a problem with migraines from most scents. I cannot tell you how many difference scents I have tried. This scent is beautiful on me, does not smell like anything else I have ever tried, and it does not give me a headache! It is a nice, light, clean scent and it is perfect for spring/summer. I also love La Danza delle Libellule Exceptional Edition by Nobile 1942 for fall/winter. These are my 2 signature scents.

I personally feel this is a well formulated fragrance and smells beautiful. It is easily classified as unisex and would smell good on a man or woman. Not everyone has the same body chemistry. so factors like silage, projection, and longevity will vary from person to person. For me, I get 4-5 hours longevity and it projects within my personal space nicely. Is it a "beast" performer? No, I don't think so, but understand it's grassy and a tad floral. Personally, I wouldn't want a fragrance with the notes in Tokyo Bloom to smell strong otherwise it would be overwhelming. Great spring/summer fragrance! A definite win for The Different Company!

I got this as a sample and I love it, probably because it's almost exactly the same as my Mugler Come Together. Clean, green, and light. So, 5 stars for scent, but I don't need both :)

Okay to me, its a hint more femme than unisex, but i applied very lightly and it seems to be a light fragrance. Smells like a clean,light green, somewhat maybe grapefruit-y floral...? Smooth subtle to my nose, i think it sticks pretty well to its name. It is definitely a relaxed but refreshing and uplifting fragrance. Spring and maybe even summer, decently wearable. 7.9 out of 10 personally. Great frag i think for people who like gentle fragrances

It's not unpleasant. But I'm not convinced "not unpleasant" is a valid recommendation for a scent. I lean towards the "green nothing" review posted below. On me it doesn't even smell of dandelions - it's more of a pharmacy chamomile. I didn't hate it. Didn't like it either, though. Just "meh". Think Julie Andrews running through a field singing "The hills are alive with the sound of music..." rather than Tokyo. "Ma Griffe" a far more interesting and satisfying green in my opinion.

A wispy green nothing. It's so bland and one-note (clean! refreshing! unthreatening! that's about it) that it seems like a perfume for people who are afraid of wearing perfume.

By Melanie - Photographer from Ann Arbor, MI on 8/12/2016

Such a perfect and unusual green summer scent. It really does smell like dandelions in all their glory and the galbanum is wonderfully bracing.

By Amy - Writer and teacher from Cambridge on 5/23/2016

Like a zen herb garden. This positively made my day. I even called my husband whilst driving to work to tell him I was in an absolute state of bliss. Not one I'd have picked in the past but my interest is officially piqued.
