Pink Lotus
by Aftelier

This is my favorite fragrance of ALL TIME !
Earthy , fruity and sooo sexy . The sandalwood is deep and textured and priceless .
I never want to be without it .

Pink Lotus opens with a potent blast of aldehydes over powdery floral notes, with a sharp chemical tang in the background. The aldehydes settle down quickly, allowing the serene, ethereal, and slightly sweet scent of the lotus blossom to float into the foreground. The harsh tangy note from the opening slowly blends into the lotus, with a foundation that's all fluffy powder.

There's a great deal of light in this composition and the texture is unusually open and wispy. The central floral accord sweetens and mellows over time, while the powder modulates to reveal some luscious woods in the base. The beautiful wood and floral drydown is a far cry from the aggressive aldehydes in the top notes, and the transition is pleasant as it occurs. This is not a terribly long lasting scent, nor does it project much, but I place it just beneath Dawn Spencer Hurwitz's slightly drier and more complex Padme Lotus as an exemplar of lotus fragrance.

Created for Madonna and I am a big Maddy fan . :)
Notes of rare pink lotus and turn of the century sandalwood.
Firstly it smells pure. Secondly,I have never smelt pink lotus absolute or oil but the aroma I am getting is unique and delicious. Delicate floral and such a wonderful sandalwood. Amazing stuff ! THIS is a quality perfume.

Lovely, and complex, definitely no aldehydes only natural essences.

Yes, this fragrance was created by Sting and Trudi Styler for Madonna..... but then they decided to give it to me. I am undecided! Could be pretty - but it has a dirty edge. As time goes on, I like it more....less floral - more stank. Too bad Sting and Trudy only gave me a small sample: or so I thought. A dear friend suggested that I should have had Madonna go through security when she left in a huff. His guess is that she had my sample (the large one, in a real glass bottle) hidden in one of the deep pockets in one of those horrible rain-coats she's always lugging around.

I believe this fragrance was created for Madonna as a present from Sting and Trudi Styler. I haven't tried it.
