by Moth and Rabbit Perfumes
Dolls by Moth and Rabbit Perfumes is a highly synthetic, sweetly floral scent with a distinct plastic doll character that lingers through the opening and early dry down. It carries a syrupy, powdery sweetness with cherry blossom, ylang-ylang, and cedar notes, evoking the impression of a luxury doll—specifically a limited edition collectible Barbie with a satin black dress and cold stare. The fragrance doesn’t open gently; instead, it presents a sharp, slightly antiseptic plastic head note that many find eerie or unsettling. Over time, the dry down mellows into a soft, musky, floral base with ambergris giving a subtle animalic warmth, though the overall impression remains detached and almost lifeless. It wears moderately, making it more suitable for daytime wear and doesn’t project far, fitting best as an intimate or personal scent. The fragrance is not safe for blind buys—its exacting synthetic character won’t appeal to those seeking natural, wearable scents. However, for those drawn to avant-garde, mood-driven perfumes that evoke cool detachment or artificial beauty, Dolls offers a surprisingly cohesive, well-crafted experience with a bold, distinctive identity.
