The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

So Real Cheap & Chic by Moschino was launched in 2017, and it's a fragrance that balances the playful with the sophisticated. Created by Antoine Maisondieu, this EDT opens with bitter orange and tangerine, giving way to a fruity sorbet of raspberry and black currant. The heart is anchored by white florals like pink peony, magnolia, and jasmine, which blend seamlessly into musky and woody base notes of ambroxan, cedar, and oakmoss. This composition captures the essence of Moschino's irreverent yet chic aesthetic, making it a standout choice for those who appreciate a fun twist on classic scents.

How to wear it

One spray is enough to capture the bright, fruity top notes. The fragrance's musky base develops over time, so it works well for daytime wear when you want a light yet lasting scent.
