Pink Sugar shocked me! I sprayed this in the car right after I bought it expecting a childish cotton candy scented perfume but instead I got an overwhelming burst of licorice, pink pepper and something powdery! Almost burns! Despite being one of the sweetest perfumes I've ever smelled I find it to be powerful, strong and heady not really suited for any child I know.

The intense spicy notes last about an hour and finally the cotton candy makes an entrance. Its not as wild and crazy as the spicy beginning. It smells like burnt caramel and raspberry flavored cotton candy.

The dry down is my favorite part, mellow and smooth with vanilla, caramel and lingering licorice. I wasn't expecting so many layers and depth to this one. It changes dramatically from beginning to end..

What a fun perfume to wear and the bottle is very cute! Pink Sugar is strong and really lasts so it doesn't take much. I can see where this would be SUGAR OVERLOAD with too much on!!

In Australia, Pink Sugar is pretty much unheard of, so it actually took me a while to track this fragrance down.

Since testing Pink Sugar I am convinced that by living in a country where this fragrance is extremely popular may change the way one views this scent. When I smelt Pink Sugar for the very first time I was really impressed. I had expected to gag and screw up my face with displeasure, however this scent was unique and very likable.

The reviews I read prior to smelling this were not wrong in describing Pink Sugar as being sugary sweet. However, although there are some similiarities to Fantasy by Britney Spears, Pink Sugar has a much more prominent note of liquorice that creates an undoubtedly unique and intriguing blend.

The scent although a gourmand, is in no way a cheap smelling candy fragrance. There is a certain warmth and attractiveness about this fragrance that I happen to really love.

Pink Sugar smells more like a cupcake shop or a bakery rather than a candy store. If candy is what you're after I suggest you try Showtime by Kylie Minogue.

I can certainly see how this fragrance has become so popular overseas, it's a shame Australia hasn't grasped brands other than Chanel and celebrity endorsed products.

For such a unique and long lasting fragrance, Pink Sugar is definitely worth a try even if you think it might not be for you.

love this scent, can't get enough of it, have to buy soon! like cotton candy...men love it.

slcallen9

Very sweet smell. When I first bought it I loved it, but I had to switch scents every once in a while because it was too sweet smelling it actually would give me a tummy ache. But it smells just like walking past the cotton candy stand on a warm day.

Jessmoberry

This is apparently a love it or hate it kind of fragrance. I loved it when I first got a bottle, and I despise it now. Back when I passionately wore this every day, regardless of the weather, I did smell good... very sugary, vanillary. Now, however, the sugar is a little off-putting.

luz

Head ache inducing, synthetc... but who cares ? This perfume is everywhere around !!! I purchased it unsiffed and I didn't like it at all. People around me made weid comments about the smell as well. I felt really shy and uncomfortable... It was the last time I've bought a gourmand scent.

Ak.

It is a very strong, warm and sweet fragrance and on me it stays for ages! Actually i need to be in a specific mood to wear it - it is good for those cold evenings or nights when i have to work with my studies, etc. because it really makes me feel relaxed but i can't imagine wearing it every day. I can clearly smell the cotton candy and licorice.

And.. by the way, it is really strong so it should be used only in small doses utherwise it can cause unpleasant headache LOL.

sorbearmui

Nothing could be more sweet than this. But I really love it, it's such an extreme sweet scent and this makes it so remarkable. I don't mind putting on intense scent to make people pay attention to me sometimes, haahaa! I don't care how people think of this sickening sweet scent, I just love it. Sweet scents always cheer me up!

I had this one when I was like 14 but I grew out of it somehow. But it's great for a young girl whom wants to wear perfume for the first time =)

hollivomitsyou

very sweet and simple. reminds me a little of tanning solution. i have only had it on for an hour, and i have already grown bored of it.

christina~xoxo

unfortunately this one makes me sick :( and i LOVE vanilla and sweet smelling fragrances but this smells like burnt marshmellows..yuck!

honeypoppyseed

It's a very rude sent.

A girl sprayed this on her in a public restroom while I was in a stall, and I could smell it. Then as I left the trail was all over the place. We all have different sensibilities, but to me, that is embarrassing. And of course, I didn't care for it so to smell it everywhere, and worry that it would catch on my clothes, is really unpleasant. I think the polite thing to do is to understand what you like about this scent and get one that is more friendly to others, other who don't necessarily share your enthusiasm for a fragrance.

Secondly, the scent is not very well made, and gives me a headache and makes me itch when I tried it a the store. I think some people aren't as sensitive as others but, none the less, it's scents like Pink Sugar (totally appropriate name) that make people hate perfume wearers!

frangipani

Got some samples of this. I like it but I can't wear it as it makes my skin go red and tingly plus it is a bit too foody for me. Would suit younger peeps!

Anna_C

This was so sharp, sweet and strong at the beginning it gave me a vibrant headache. Eventually however, it calms down and starts smelling really pleasant and sugary and it lasts really long too - very girlie tho, Im not too sure if this one is for me.

Makk

Bottle look like Barbie-toy. Sweet and pink.

But perfumes are a bit defferent. It's simple and sweet fragrance but unfortuntely sweetness is break by licorice (lakritze).. oh, god, it's terrible! My fiance hate it! Licorice is owful! This fragrance has beauty, sickly smell but can kill everybody around when you use it little more. Persistence is not great, for this money sholud be better.

I like it, but rare and in small doses :)

elm0505

It is sweet, it is flirty, it's vanilla-y, but to this day I never managed to get the cotton candy and strawberry notes. For me it smells more like nail polish remover mixed with vanilla extract. Unable to repress my nausea everytime I smelled it, I eventually gave my EDT to my best friend who finished it off within a month. Its staying power is amazing, which would be great if I liked the scent. My opinion: sweet and synthetic.

ossini

Pink Sugar is the perfect fragrance if you like sweet smells.
It smells like Cotton Candy!
Its sweet, but not in a cheap way.
Its a premium perfume that can enrich every cold and boring winter day with a sense of sugar and vanillia.
People sometimes tell me that i smell like cookies, cake or ginger bread when i wear Pink Sugar.
Always when i put it on it raises a smile in my face. Not a lot of fragrances have that abillity :-)
If you like foody flavours, you will love it!

BlackAmberMoon

If you want something to remind you of a carnival on a hot summer night, this is your fragrance. Smells just like cotton candy. It's a fun little comfort scent, but I would never wear this out in public!

TheFudge

All of the hype surrounding this perfume on all sorts of websites, and its consistent listing as a "best seller" prompted me to overpay for this perfume on eBay. I was super disappointed when I got it. It's like, one squirt and it's ok. It's such a fine mist. I'm not sure if it's just the bottle I got, but the second squirt turns into this bitter nightmare. My boyfriend is like - that's gross!!! It's soooo strong and just sugary to the point of being bitter. I dunno if anyone else experienced this? I wish I had selected something else to spend my money on.

christina_dior

Aww, i love this scent so much! It´s so sweet, sugary and lovely. Mwah!

Malibu

Pink Sugar makes me feel fabulous when I wear it; it's so light and `warm' with a base of sensual vanilla.


I don't get bored with this fragrence, like I do with everything else I've tried over the years.

The first time I wore Pink Sugar to work one colleague commented on the aroma of drinking chocolate as I was in the lift with her. The next time I was in the lift, everyone commented on my lovely vanilla perfume. After I applied a freshen up spray, another colleague said she could smell cakes! Yet another colleague demanded to know what I was wearing, and where she could get some.
Strangers come up to me in the street to ask what scent I'm wearing... No this isn't a cheesy ad, it really happened!!

What do I sense first? Liquorice, a rich aniseed scent that gradually settles into a middle note of caramel. Marshmallow is the first word that springs to mind to me.


If you like Angel, Fantasy or Princess you need to give this a try!

VioletLily

I adore Pink Sugar. When I wear it my girlfriend says I smell like a big ball of cotton candy...and fortunately, she means that in a good way! It's not just straight cotton candy to me though. First on, it's got a twist of orange and raspberry with a huge helping of caramel and vanilla, and then a hint of licorice and soft sandalwood at its heart – I think these last two save it from being too sweet on me. ♥ it!

leonora84

A really lasting sugary fragrance. I don't think it were too childish. It has a great musky base, really not for little girls:). I love the smell of licquorice, and I love the cute bottle of this. I have a 3.4 oz tester, and it is lower than 1/2 now:(:). Fortunately I have lots of other nice frags:) But it is in my top 5.

Taliera

This does not smell like pure cotton candy. I agree it is very sweet, but what turns me off is the burnt note and licquorice notes. It is very intense.

Chatnoir

Meh. It's OK, I suppose. It really didn't live up to the hype. For my money, "Hello Kitty" EDT does a much better sweet, girly, vanilla cookies baking in the warm kitchen thing.

snobuni77

I always have my husband sniff me & let me know what he thinks when I try on a new perfume.
He sniffed me & told me I smell like food.Then a little bit later I asked if I should wear this again & he told me "Only if you want to smell like a candle"
He is right.It really does smell like a vanilla candle.I don't get much of the licorice on me but I do get caramel & vanilla.
There isn't much depth to this either.It is a flat scent & it's very thick & stuffy to me as well.Thick as in, the air around it could be cut with a knife.
It isn't a bad smell though.It would be great if you just want to smell like a candle or a cake.

Amythyst

I like this for what it is. I definitely agree that it is waayy sweet, but if that is what you are looking for this is it. It reminds me of being a young girl, full of dreams and expectations. I wear this when I want to lift my mood, and am not trying to make any real statement with fragrance. I also wanted to say that I share this one with my 8 yr. old daughter, she loves it-- and it is not a complicated scent that would be unsuitable for her. She loves the whole grown-up idea of wearing perfume.. ^.^

kokica

I just love it!!yeah,it is sweet, and yeah it smells like cotton candy,and looks like it's been made for 5yolds, but this is a complex scent...not simple and fun at all...it has this distinctive smell of bergamot and I can smell lily of the valley...and the drydown is very comfortable vanilla with caramel melting..it is not too sweet and it doesn't make me sick (like vanilla scents usually do)....
bought it and enjoying in every drop of this gorgeous perfume...I would say-for sophisticated women, not girlie girls....

cdawnn1

I cannot handle scents this sweet. Pink Sugar smells like cotton candy and cookies that are baking. It smells good on others at first though, but even on other people it smells sickening to me after being around them for awhile. I love gourmands, but this fragrance crosses the line for me with the sugary sweetness.

sjanira

I tried it the other day and was very disappointed. Even my 12 yr old daughter thought it was awful. After put it on I ended up smelling like cheap cotton candy that's been rolled around dirt for a while. Very fake smell and the bottle is cheap looking too. I mean they're sweet yummy fragrances out there and then they're some fragrances so sweet and overwhelming that you can't help but frown, wrinkle your nose and say "Eww" and never wear them again. Maybe Pink Sugar is more suitable for a 5yr old.

Trvevil

It's totally winter/fall fragrance, because it smells like old candy in summer.
I like to put it on then get asleep. It's nice in the morning when licorice note is gone.
I love it very much, the top notes are a bit bitter (Oh, I can feel ginger)then it becomes sweet and really pleasant on me, I just can't sniff enough. I really love sweet perfumes and this one is very good. It has very good lasting power for EDT. i have only 1 oz bottle for a year now. It's pleasure to wear it and I really will miss it when it's over, then I'll order a new one. The 30ml bottle fits into hand perfectly and is nice itself.
Be careful with this if you have horses, they can chew your hair!
P.S' they haven't get mine ;D

rebella

I tried this for some time ago and didn´t liked it. Today I happend to stumble over it and tried it again, and there was still not much in it that pleased me. In the beginning it is really strong and really heavy on the licorice... I kind of like the licoricepart, but then it starts to smell all nasty and sweet, and in the same time a kind of very masculine fragrance... So now I have walked around and smelled some sort of after shave loaded with cotton candy in about 2 hours, not really comfortable with it. Tough not bad enough to go and wash away...

liat

It starts with an incredible boom of sugar and pepper, which were too strong and gave me a headache. After 15 minutes or so it gave up the pepper and became lots and lots of burnt cotton candy on my skin, which I found quite loveable. Please note that it has a very distinct synthetic feel to it, so if you're into floral rather that chemical, it's not for you.

jeanol

I enjoy sweet fragrances with substance; this is just pure overwhelming cotton candy, way too strong and sweet for me!

guest_marie j

There is a less expensive identical version of this called gale hayman delicious cotton candy! Read the notes of the 2 and you will see they are exact! but delicious cotton candy is like 14.99 for a 3.4 oz and it is long lasting smells just like cotton candy!

tangledvines

I thought it smelled lovely in the department store, so I purchased a bottle. I got home, spritzed it on and found it didn't have the same "oomph" as the tester bottle. Go figure. But a nice scent all the same.

dolita

my favorite i used to wear it last 2 years and i will be back again to it its very sweety and sexy

Silvery

Too much cotton candy, I can only smell cotton candy on me after a while. Gives the impression that I'm covered with cotton candy...Not so syntethic, but just too much and too agressive for my taste though I like sweet fragrances.

Boggi

Wow! I'm suprised! The bottle is much more juvenile than the fragrance itself. I like it!

wildflower

I've noticed that as Im wearing this perfume, Im constantly harassed by wasps and that sort of bugs. I guess it's not that synthetic after all, since it seems like they think Im a juicy flower.

They don't bite, but still it's not nice to have bumblebees following you.. I don't use this at nice summerdays.

F_A

Sweet, sexy, funny fragrance, perfect for colder summer evenings or autumn/winter season

knics33

I like pink sugar, but I am not in love with it. I bought the 1 oz. bottle and I am kind of glad I did. While I generally love sweet scents, this can sometimes be too much because it is also VERY peppery. It almost has a burnt note. I think Pink Sugar is fun, but should not be poured on. Overall, I give it a B.

Ninulia

VEry sweet, very nice and flirtisous, use it with lotion and it will last for long. P.S boys love it;)

wildflower

Not very long lasting, but perfect when I just want to wear a carefree fun and ah! so yammy scent. I dont get a headache from this at all! If you´re like me = you´re skin bears well overly sweet scents, it´s worth trying.

amanda

i bought it today, my boyfriend likes it a lot but i wanted to wait a better price for it, and it arrived now:) and i dont regret:) i like it too

LoveScent

There was no thought behind this ridiculous sweet perfume

PerfumeEmpress

This is candy floss in a bottle. Nothing wrong with perfumes being sweet. As many pointed out here there are sweet perfumes that are great: Louve, Angel, Alien, etc. They are sweet but in a grown-up way. Pink Sugar is sweet in a childish way. It is exactly what the name suggests: candy. By the way, please do not take my comment personally. I simply offer my very personal opinion. This is no reflection on those who like this scent. :)

jmp

Love the scent, it puts me in a good mood. Men LOVE this. However, scent doen't last long. Maybe I should try the lotion.

amanda

i think it depends on the person, i have friends that use this, and it suits them quite well, and actually i can hardly see difference between this one and britney's fantasy, and it has nothing to do with brand because sometimes less famous ones can smell wonderful. I think if you use it with moderation, its nice, though i wouldnt wear it myself.

guest_Tina

I agree with you...The problem with this perfume is not the sweetness because Angel and Wish are both very sweet and gourmand perfumes and I love this 2 fragances. The major problem with Pink Sugar is the synthetic and extremely ordinary sweetness . I guess because is not a perfume that came from a big brand or designer (like the classics Shalimar who smell sooo strong but I can take it and wear this thinking in a good way and not smell like a veeery synthetic sugar. My experiencie with pink sugar was awful, I put it a little bit on my arm at the beginning was too sweet but (I hate it) but I can take it...but 5 minutes later the smell take a turn like tooooo strong and veeery ordinary. It make me feel like sick and with nauseas. If you want something sweet try with Thierry Mugler's fragances, Comptoir Sud Pacifique fragance's, Chopard has Wish, Fantasy's from Britney,Serendipity,Warm Vanilla SUgar from Bath and Body Works... I dont know, theres too much sweet fragances in the market who worth your money. Don't waste it in such a bad smell

guest_dema

it makes me sick when i smell it, not bad, but i cant smell it for more than a few minutes i coudnt suffer all day long. and it a bit ordinary, not comlicated at all, at its bad meaning

Aiona

This is the only perfume I've ever worn about which I've received a compliment from my husband. With all the others I've ever worn, he'd say, "What is that *%&@%#! smell?"

I don't buy perfume often, but this one is so different from all the fruity and floral ones out there. It's not a serious-minded perfume, like Fendi or Chanel. It's all artificial food flavoring, and I guess enjoyable for people who grew up on Hostess cupcakes and Twinkies (as my husband and I did).

takemyhusbandplz

Over the years, I've heard a lot about Pink Sugar. I like floral gourmondes,(I adore Fantasy as well!) so I finally got a sample. When I first sprayed this on, I thought it smelled nice. Then after 10 minutes it took a sudden U-turn for the worst. It turned into pure, burnt cotton candy on my skin. I hate everything about cotton candy (the taste & smell) so sadly Pink Sugar is a no go.

Aeternitas

Incredible fragrance; it's youthful, reminds me of caramel covered apples and cotton candy, or anything else like the delicious sweets you can find at a carnival. Full of sugar, and I can totally smell the glowing hint of vanilla with each spray. On my most wanted list! I don't smell anything chemical... I would compare this fragrance similar to Chopard's Wish, and Thierry Mugler's Angel.

guest_Tina

I love the sweet fragances like Fantasy by Britney, Escada Sunset Heat or Pacific Paradise. But this one... Smells sooooo bad. Is like chemical sweet. Dont buy it, please. This one could be dangerous to all noses. The smell is like a very cheap perfume.

pimpnazt

It's a bit too sugary for my taste. It is even sweeter than Daisy by Marc Jacobs. Both scream "headache" to me. And both induce those headaches, as well. Perhaps it's my body chemistry.

Leukothea

Rich, sweet scent, for all the cold winter nights you have to spend alone working and need somehting to replace the warmth of your home, family and home made holiday sweets :) Yummy

noor_jehan

i have simply fallen in love with this pink, sugary fragrance. at the begining you smell only sugar, but if you give it an attention, you will discover, to my greatest joy, a touch of liquorice. then it becomes a bit fruity, then caramel, but sugar goes all the way. it satyed even after a shower and body lotion. great fun, especially for holidays.
