Think Pink – Pink Wave 2009/2010

After (I can freely say) a flood of last year's black flacons, as well as spring editions which brought a light green trendy wave, I notice romance in the air. I guess the time has come for global falling in love, romantic girly aromas and a carefree view of the world.

Large companies are launching numerous editions with light beige and pink liquids announcing the feminine and floral notes in the compositions. The color Pink is very romantic and girly. You can get it by mixing red and white. This color is connected with girls and girlhood, love and health, fairy-tales, spring and spring flowers, beauty and glamour…

I like this year's twist to pink, since it contributes to optimism and good intentions, while the new fragrances bring romantic and more floral rhythms. I will put in the first plan the latest editions for women launched by big perfume houses at the end of 2009 and the beginning of 2010, such as:

Lancome Miracle Tendre Voyage
Lancome Tresor In Love,
Laura Biagiotti Laura Rose,
Michael Kors Very Hollywood,
Nina Ricci Ricci Ricci
and a new apple Nina Le Paradis de Nina,

Sergio Tachinni Precious Pink,
Valentino Eau de Parfum,
Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Pink Sparkle
and YSL limited edition Baby Doll Honeymoon,
YSL Elle Colector, YSL Shocking and many others.

We can say that the color pink is certainly "in," by watching the latest editions which announce spring even on the shelves of perfumeries. When researching our new favorite aromas, it would be good to have optimistic Pink Sugar near us, as well as romantic and lovable Bvlgari Rose Essentielle and Insolence along with bouquets of pink peony, gerbera and tulips while expecting new love and upcoming spring days. Enjoy spring!

Which fragrance among the newest editions is perfectly presented by the color pink, in your opinion? Do you choose pink flacons and which of the above perfumes fits best the theme: romantic spring? Which is your favorite pink flacon ever made?

The new Chanel looks lovely, but I haven't tried it yet. The Gucci II is in a lovely bottle with a lovely colour and is a lovely scent as well!

Thank you Sandra ☻.

I agree with you that pink represents a sense of romance and tender. I personally think it might be suitable for the upcoming summer.

I could not imagine Men's fragrance having pink flacons though I have nothing against that creativity.

IMHO, the juice itself should be super sweet or even having feminine vibe to it. The right concept is required to have that bravity.

Sandrina, what a great sense of noticing - a whole range of pink flacons this spring! May favourite nuances are pinks and violets, so I couldn't help noticing perfume flacons in these colours. My absolute favourite for this season is the new version of Ange au Demon, I think it's ideal for spring, with its cheerful, floral notes. I would love to try the new Chanel Chance.
