Pink Sugar (2003)
by Aquolina

Pink Sugar is my new obsession. To get my hands on it, I had to order it online (unsniffed). What a lucky buy! I absolutely love this scent. As it is not sold anywhere in my country, people does`nt recognize it. Instead, they tell me how lovely it is and that it is very "me". And, I am 47 years old ;-)

The best description I can give....
it smells like "Cotton Candy".

I like wearing it to bed...
ahhh sweet dreams...

but it's the compliments I get
from guys and girls...
that's what keeps me wearing it...

Revolting! I bought it, sprayed it a few times just to see if it really was as bad as I first thought, then binned it. Even the thought of it makes me queasy... that sickly sweet, artificial nastiness that is Pink Sugar. I went along with Sephora's recommendation that it was an oriental... and was enticed by the description of 'a journey through the pleasures and flavors of childhood with a playful blend of vanilla and caramel.' Yeah, right! Only if you'd eaten a ton of that vanilla and caramel and then sat in a stuffy, overheated car for hours on end, sucking in petrol fumes and engine grease along the way!

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.
