I love this perfume. I bought it on a cruise to Mexico back in 2005. Love love love it. The bottle has lasted me forever, but as of our most recent move, it's been misplaced. Bummer.

I found this on Amazon for $10 for 50ml, and promptly purchased it after reading so many positive MUA reviews. Unfortunately, it doesn't appeal to me the way it does the masses. It smells cheap (and it was). The entire thing is powdery-sweet from the first spritz to the dry down. It reminds me of old ladies and face powder from the 1980s, which I suppose is feminine, but also a little sickening. I honestly cannot detect any of the spice or edge I was hoping for from this. Plus, I am usually NEVER sensitive to fragrances, but 5 minutes after spraying this on I had a headache. The stuff is cloying. The packaging is adorable, but that's about the only positive thing I can say about it. :(

What a shame that this gorgeous perfume has been discontinued! It opens with a beautiful citrus peppery smell, kind of "fizzy". The heart notes I wasn't quite as keen on but the DRYDOWN is exquisite! I would wear this perfume every day if I could....please bring this back Moschino!

VA-VOOM! I feel so glamorous and confident in this. It's not a summer scent. It's a strong scent that lasts a long time on me. Unfortunately it's been unavailable for awhile... lucky I bought an extra bottle before it completely disappeared!

I adore the delicate nuances of Couture! It's a charming fragrance that requires a spritz or two on the body. The opening is a little much , even overwhelming -- but within 5 minutes or so it mellows out into a soft and well crafted fragrance.. California poppy and poppy seeds have a delicate, mesmerizing scent that shines through the huge citrus opening. Couture is a warm perfume that wears best in autumn and winter. Notes include: Mandarin orange, black pepper, bergamot Middle notes: peony, pomegranate, jasmine and yellow poppy Bottom notes: benzoin, vanilla and cedar. It's very feminine, and soft. Very charming and clean. Perfect for daytime and soft; put a little purse atomizer in your bag as it's not going to last all day.

Well I dont find it sparking neither festive..The aldehydes just dont agree with me..all I get is a powdery rose...nice, but certainly not the exciting fragrance I wish it would be on me!! It is a bit old fashioned, but I feel it does have class, and the drydown smells really good! I guess I wish I would like it, but on me it just isnt top..I will swap it real soon!!

Couture is a lovely fragrance - light, floral aldyhedic with some underlying citrus. Very classy fragrance that's not too heavy and can be worn all year round. So different from many of the new releases. Nice.

I had been on the fence about this one for some time (got a mini from Ebay then found a 25ML bottle on offer in the UK this is being discontinued so stock up if it's your HG) . I defintely get lemon, woods and a slight cola smell, as others have mentioned, which is what intrigued me to try it . Everyone who has smelled this says it's really nice and the staying power, is pretty good. Its fresh but warm at the same time, not over powering. To give you an idea of the kind of I really like fresh citrusy scents, florals effect my allergies and i don't really like sweet overly vanilla perfumes as tehy make me feel sick after a while.

Love this perfume, nice and spicey and very unusual, you certainly won't find everyone around you smelling the same as you (talking about you D&G Light Blue, everyone seems to wear it.) I apply sparingly, a little goes a very long way. I receive a lot of compliments even hours after I think the scent has worn off. It's also very reasonably priced and the bottle is very cute, will always have a stash of this in my perfume arsenal.

Oh my gosh, hands down my favorite perfume ever! It is sophisticated but wearable,stylish but with irony, I ave been sniffing perfumes forever to find something I really could hold on to and this is it! Well I was wearing angel for years and years and I just got sick of it. So I tried this and fell in love, and for the price you can't go wrong if you wear perfume everyday like I do! My hg.

I picked this up on a whim, since I'd never tried a Moschino scent, and Couture is priced so inexpensively on several perfume e-tailer sites. I really didn't expect to like it as much as I do! It's sweet and peppery and the teensiest bit woodsy. At least on me, it doesn't smell much like cola at all. The sillage and staying power is pretty impressive, which may or may not be a good thing. Most perfumes fade on me before I've even had my morning coffee, but this one truly lasts. One light spritz will last you all day, and may even be too much for people whose skin holds scents better.

This is one of my highest rated perfumes of all time. I got the 3.4oz completely unsniffed and confident because so many women wrote about how they loved it. I checked several review sites and all the feedback is great. It's warm, sexy, inviting and always delicious on skin. I imagined it more spicy and woodsy, but it's not. It's actually very charming. I truly love it, and lasting power is incredible. I will wear it year round, and for romantic nights. It's not an old lady scent, it actually reminds me a little of Burberry Brit. With my chemistry, it's 100% feminine. I don't smell anything masculine and it's only a touch woodsy. It's very wearable for every day. I have dry/combo skin, so it doesn't last as long as on others with oily skin. The initial spray is intense, but it does let up a little. So spray a wrist or your neck, but both would be too much. I think people are so used to generic fruity florals (and there are many), that a perfume like this alarms them.
I wished for something wearable but not fruity and this is it. :)

My absolute favorite fragrance ever. It's bold and spicy without being overbearing or "old lady" (as many people like to describe heavier scents). I think it's really unique. Although leaning on the spicy side, I always sense something very sweet about it and it wasn't until reading other reviews mentioning "cola" that it came to me. It does have something cola-esque about it. This fragrance is hard to describe in my opinion. But it's delicious. If you're in the market for something kind of bold, I suggest sampling this.

I'm absolutely in love with this fragrance! Since the first time when i smelled at it , which was like 5 yeas ago ,until now i use it regularly on autumn( it feels autumnish actually). I find it quite musky,spicy and sexy...and it has a really affordable price.
I've been getting compliments from friends when using it and people tend to "wow" at it :) ( my boyfriend "stole" my last bottle cause hes addicted at it too :D ). It stays on all day long and more...
Even the bottle is so damn cute with that red velvet ribbon and the heart shaped pickled !

Couture! is festive, sparkling and very cola-esque -- except it's so bold that the Coke must have been spiked. The sillage is the strongest of any of the 'fumes I own. Yesterday I was wearing it on skin under a sweater and a fleece jacket, yet the fabrics did nothing to stand in its way. Later that evening my husband asked me in an accusatory tone, "How much perfume are you wearing?" It was the same single spritz, in the crook of one arm, 12 hours later. This is not meant for small spaces and is certainly not office friendly.

I adore this fragrance, although I'm not too keen on the other Moschinos I've sniffed. At first I found it a little heavy and perhaps more suited to someone older. But I kept wearing it because of the compliments I received- particularly that the perfume was ideally suited to me and my personality. It really grew on me. I agree with the reviewer who mentioned that it was somewhat 'masculine', I'll readily admit that I prefer men's colognes to the sickly sweet or overly 'fresh' female fragrances one often encounters. Couture! makes me feel confident, strong and far more sophisticated than is usual.

It is quite masculine to me. Essentially a citrus/cedar fragrance with some aldehydes thrown in, and enough other ingredients to send your nose spinning. I have to admit that I did try to wash it off. But, it wouldn't come off (darn it). The review that referred to a 'crowded house' was spot on, but I'm surprised no-one's called this masculine. Considering that this is marketed to women, perhaps I should call it unisex? Or for a man confident enough to have a bottle with a heart on it sitting on his dresser?
