Kids Boy
For a boy old enough to want his own bottle but too young for anything serious, Tous Kids Boy Eau de Toilette 100ml is about right: clean, green, mildly sweet, and nothing in it that will embarrass anybody.
Mandarin orange gives the opening its sweetness, neroli a clean bitter edge, and clover a soft green freshness, so the first impression is bright and uncomplicated. It is a short opening and it is not asking for attention.
Then it turns to the two materials that give the scent its personality. Candy apple is sweet and glossy, closer to a fairground toffee apple than to fruit off a tree, and grass is green, cut and a little sharp against it. A children's fragrance usually goes one way or the other, sweet or fresh, and this one does both at once. The balance is well judged. Too much candy apple and it would be sickly, too much grass and no child would want it, and neither of those happens.
Licorice and musk make the base, the licorice dark and sweet with a root like edge and the musk soft and clean, and that is the whole of it. Seven materials, by Domitille Michalon Bertier and Juliette Karagueuzoglou. It is also one of the few fragrances where the packaging matters as much as the liquid, and the bear is the thing a child will recognise.
The toilette concentration keeps it gentle, which is what you want on a child: a few hours of wear, no heaviness, and no trail following him around a classroom. The 100ml bottle will last a long time at the rate most children use it. The maker is a Spanish jewellery house that dates itself to 1920, when Salvador Tous Blavi served his apprenticeship as a watchmaker, and which has worked from Manresa ever since, adding fragrance to its range from 2000.
