Kids Boy Eau de Toilette 100ml is made for children and the first thing to say is that it behaves like it. Eau de toilette strength keeps it light, nothing in it is sharp, and it reads as clean and almost edible rather than grown up.
The opening is all orchard. Mandarin orange gives the juice, quince brings a tart, slightly scented sweetness that is less obvious than plain apple, and apple itself sits between them doing the familiar crisp part. Within a few minutes ginger turns up, warm rather than hot, just enough of a tickle to keep the fruit from going flat, and almond settles in beside it with a soft, sweet smoothness. The base is uncomplicated and well judged for the job: vanilla for warmth, cedarwood for a dry pencil shaving edge that stops the whole thing turning sugary, and musk to hold it against skin and clothing for a few hours.
Advice on wearing a child's scent is mostly advice about restraint. One spray on a jumper or the back of a hand is plenty, and it fades gradually rather than vanishing all at once. The 100ml bottle is generous next to the amount a child will actually get through, so expect it to last a long while. This works as a present that is unmistakably a present, for a boy old enough to want his own thing on the shelf instead of borrowing from a parent.
Scalpers is a Spanish label founded in Seville in 2007. It started with suits, shirts and accessories, became best known for slippers and ties carrying an embroidered skull, and now runs men's, women's and children's lines alongside homeware added in 2021. The fragrances are not made in house. They are developed under licence by Perfumes y Diseno, the same company behind the scents for El Ganso and Tous.
