Great set to try some Tokyo Milk perfumes!
I have wanted to try Tokyo Milk perfumes for a long time and when I saw this discovery set, I had to have it. I wish Tokyo Milk made more discovery scents for the rest of their collection.My reviews for each scent are below, though keep in mind that perfume plays differently on everyone's skin and everyone has a difference preference for scents. :)10 Honey & The Moon (Notes: Sweet Honey, Sugared Violet, Jasmine, Sandalwood): If you love the scent of honey, get this! I am considering buying a full bottle after I finish this sample size. It smells exactly like honey, not too floral either. I do want to try layering this with other perfumes because I find the scent kind of simple and won't complicate the perfume with too many notes.15 French Kiss (Notes: Mandarin, Tuberose, Gardenia, Vetiver): It is a nice floral perfume. I'm more into gourmand or fruity florals than a perfume consisting of mostly florals, but I do like these florals so if you also like the same flowers you may enjoy this perfume.12 Gin & Rosewater (Notes: Citrus Zest, Rosewood, Mimosa, Mandarin): I was expecting a citrus and rose scent perfume, but the rosewood is overpowered by all the citrus scents in this perfume. I don't detect rose from the rosewood at all. Maybe rosewood is very weak on my skin. I do love citrus so I don't mind missing the rose note.09 Kabuki (Notes: Lychee, Sugared Grapefruit, Sweet Jasmine, Warm Vanilla): This is the most interesting and unique perfume for me. Maybe I haven't smelled lychee that much in perfumes. The lychee is very sweet and candy-like smelling. Then I can't pinpoint what, but I think the sugared grapefruit kind of tones the lychee sweetness down for me and almost gives it a powdery/medicinal smell on my skin? Not what I expected grapefruit to smell like. I can't decide if I love this perfume or I love how unique it is from the rest of my collection.06 Dead Sexy (Notes: Deep Vanilla, Exotic Wood, White Orchid, Ebony): This is the first perfume I saw from Tokyo Milk when I discovered them and had higher hopes for it, but it smell on my skin as I expected. For all other perfumes in this collection, I typically pick up the notes in the order they are written in the box, but for Dead Sexy I smelled the Vanilla at the very end. I also expected to smell the Vanilla throughout the perfume, but I can only smell it at the end. I'm not sure if the woods are overpowering or the vanilla doesn't appear until later. I have tried other perfumes focusing on woods, so it may just be my skin makes wood scents very strong. This perfume comes off very strong, smoky, and woody on me. I've played violin and I expected "woody" to smell like a wooden instrument or the wood of a pencil, but it smells very smoky on me, too strong and masculine. I can see this as a unisex and even masculine perfume, but really I think all perfume is unisex if you love it. When the vanilla comes out, I love it. I personally wish the woods would be toned down and the vanilla amped up on my skin, because I would buy it for the vanilla scent. It ends in a soft, delicious scent. I understand why some people in the reviews that don't typically love floral, or sweet perfume that is marketed toward women would love this. If you are into more masculine leaning and heavy scents, this may one you want to try!11 Let Them Eat Cake (Notes: Sugar Cane, Coconut Milk, White Musk): I loved this perfume more than Dead Sexy, but sweets are more to my taste than a heavy, smoky, and slightly choking me perfume (though maybe I have a sensitivity to scents). If you don't like sweets it may be too sweet, and the sugar cane is really making it sweet. I do wonder if pairing this with Dead Sexy would make Dead Sexy more comfortable for me to wear.

This product delivers!
Exactly what I wanted. A variety of new scents that would enamor me and challenge me. These bottles are very small, smaller than I expected, so it evens out to about $10 per bottle of perfume. Not bad at all! Looking forward to all of the different scents coming my way.

But where is the spray nozzle?
Save your money for the full-size scent you actually like. I had hoped these would be similar to the originals or at least smell pleasant, but only one out of six was decent—the one I was originally after. The rest were disappointing. On top of that, they’re tiny and don’t even have a spray nozzle, making them inconvenient to use. Definitely not worth the price.

Four smell wonderful and 2 smell like a mans.
But tht three that smell so good are completely and utterly incredibly intoxicating. Such lovely scents to wear! Thank you.

Worth it if you want to try something new
I’ve recently gotten into fragrances, and saw this brand recommended online. Since I’m new to the hobby, I wanted to try a bunch new scents before buying a full bottle.This set did not disappoint! The packaging is beautiful and sturdy, I might keep them in this box actually. The bottle designs are lovely as well.I would wear 3/6 of the fragrances regularly. Gin & Rosewater, Let them Eat Cake, and Kabuki are my favorites, in that order. I typically like floral and fruity scents, starting to appreciate gourmands.Dead Sexy and Savage Belle could absolutely be unisex. I think they would smell great on a man/masc person.I think you could easily remove the stopper and decant these if you desire.

Very nice as a gift - slightly inconsistent packaging.
The media could not be loaded. This was my introduction to the TokyoMilk brand. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my purchase and it is also a fitting gift for any perfume lovers.One thing I noted was that the packaging was a little inconsistent: some of the vials had a little stopper attached and others did not (as in my picture examples of #11 vs #12). I'm not sure if this was intentional, but it may raise brows if given as a gift, one may wonder if it was previously opened. Another was that the cap for #10 was heavily lop-sided. Again that may not look good as a brand new gift and even when I tried to re-cap the bottle, it remained lopsided.#11 Let them eat cake: Overall very sweet, the coconut and vanilla are very strong.#06 Dead sexy: This one is very mild and I feel none of the scents overpower the other. If I must choose, it would be a tie between the Orchid and Ebony tones.#09 Kabuki: Very strong citrus scent. The Sugared-grapefruit sits in the spotlight.#12 Gin & Rosewater: Again, very citrusy. The Mimosa, Citrus Zest and Manadarin tone overpower the Rosewood.#15 Frenchkiss: Very classy smell. The Gardenia shines tight through and the Vrtiver carries along right behind it.#10 Honey & the Moon: Definitely a sweet honey scent. The sugared Jasmine also hints here and there.Good valueless for the variety uou get, of course if there is a scent that draws you, it would be more worthwhile to get the full-sized bottle.For personal use, it's an easy 5-stars, but with the inconsistencies in the packaging I had mentioned before, it would make for a slightly awkward gift for those who are detailed oriented (like myself). So 4 stars
