Pink Sugar (2003)
by Aquolina

Some kids said where's the dessert? when I was near. A lot of guys, especially the coffee baristas and taxi drivers love it, at the office think that I'm smell like a vanilla icecream or a new doll... but believe me, there are compliments! I'm happy and totally me with this perfume, really difficult to found in Mexico (and I love that more). It's my Obsession for the new millenium.

Pink Sugar is really yummy and right now it's my signature scent. Very sweet, powdery but not oldie, a marshmallow in spray!

Well, it's a good hoot of a scent, like Quasar, Peau d'Espagne, Nostalgia and other quasi-comic sexy choices.

I just found out this is unisex by clicking on this review section.

You're putting me on, right? This is completely feminine. It is also, as over the top LOUD as Platinum Egoiste is for men.

New category: Scents that Shout.

So it's popular with the strong sillage/ hear me roar crowd. Not bad and--oddly enough--not cloying, but way to easy to over apply whereupon we're in Screaming Candyland.

I complimented a female co- worker today on it, and she was enormously impressed that I knew what scent she was wearing. Good Lord! If I doused myself in Joop or A*Men wouldn't she know? I rejoice to say I own neither, but c'mon this one is instantly recognizable.

Created for a young or brash crowd, but can an elegant woman over 30 pull this off?

I guess so, if she simply walks through the mist. But then, how many men that wear Platinum Egoiste or A*Men just walk through the mist?

Naw, this is best for gourmand candystripers, or would that be candy strippers?

On first trying Pink Sugar, I thought, "Why do they call this Pink when it's so orange? I guess Orange Sugar isn't girly enough." For about ten minutes, I felt woozy from the sweet, sweet, sweet orange cotton candy scent. Then the pink showed up-- that horrid artificial strawberry that belongs on scratch 'n sniff stickers, not in a perfume. To be avoided by anyone over the age of fourteen, or under it, for that matter.

There is a way Pink Sugar smells good, and that way is dabbed. It stays more anisey and even kind of fresh -if that is possible. But when sprayed -I do not like it. It's (even) sweeter taht way, the fresh anise accord disappears and it's just sugar. The difference is quite significant.

I dabbed on a little Pink Sugar before bed last night, thinking it would be a fun, sweet little scent to fall asleep to. And I was right! It isn't the sparkly, princess-y, completely over-the-top sugar bomb I expected. It is sweet, to be sure, but the bergamot 'grows it up' a bit. I love the idea of spritzing some Pink Sugar onto my pillowcase at night. It does conjure up fluffy pink images, but those of sliding out of some soft, fluffy slippers, into silky pjs, slipping under a plush comforter and sinking into a cool pillow.
A cheerful, happy winner in my book!

I love gourmand scents but Pink Sugar passes the gourmand catergory and falls into the pure candy catergory. I can't stand overly sweet candy scents and Pink Sugar is no exception. I thought Brittany Speares Fantasy was too sweet, but Pink Sugar takes the cake of being tooooo sweet by a lanslide. It is soooo strong that it gave me a toothache and headache just by smelling it. It smells like pure cotton candy to my nose (I do not get a burnt smell or licorice smell at all). I can't wear this scent but I will keep the sample vial to sniff every time I am craving something sweet, I think it will do the trick to keep me away from eating sweets. I cringe when I smell Pink Sugar, it reminds me of the cotton candy machine at the fair. This is a pure cotton candy smelling scent that is strong, sweet, and overly agressive for my taste...Yuck!
