Anthemoessa (No. 84)

Anthemoessa by Tokyo Milk Parfumerie Curiosite is a softly intoxicating white floral fragrance with a sun-drenched beach vibe. It opens with a gentle, sugared grapefruit that tempers the citrus bite, making it approachable and non-intrusive. The dominant notes—sandalwood, honeysuckle, jasmine, and a subtle salt—blend into a creamy, serene base that evokes warm sands and ocean air. This is not a dramatic or overpowering scent; instead, it unfolds subtly, leaving a delicate floral-woody trail that lingers just long enough to be noticed but not so much as to be overwhelming. The balance between sweet, salty, and woody elements works beautifully, resulting in a scent that feels both elegant and relaxed—ideal for daywear, summer outings, or spring days. Despite comparisons to Pacifica Waikiki Pikaki and VLJ, it stands apart with a more refined, less gourmand profile and a slightly green-tea-like drydown that adds complexity.
