Tokyo Milk Parfumerie Curiosite Tainted Love is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Margot Elena. Tainted Love opens with Orchid, settles into a heart of Tea, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Vanilla. Tokyo Milk Parfumerie Curiosite's Tainted Love carries a Statement verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

This one's a proper love-or-hate affair. Some find it a beautifully complex, dark vanilla, others get bug spray or synthetic nastiness. Definitely try before you buy.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

While some find it intimate enough for the office, its sensual and mysterious nature makes it a perfect fit for a date night. The soft sillage reported by many means it won't overpower, making it versatile for a range of casual and evening wear, but it's not well-suited for sport.

About

Tainted Love delivers a deep, dark vanilla bean heart, balanced beautifully by the fresh, almost leathery scent of black tea. Soft orchid petals weave through, preventing any cloying sweetness, before settling into a creamy, woody sandalwood base. It's a powdery, subtly spiced dance of clean and creamy, with an alluring mysterious edge.
