Pink Sugar by Aquolina

pinkywithabrain2020

This is my go to...who doesn't want to smell good enough to eat?? I know I do...Men love it...but I noticed they smell what they are craving...not cotton candy...I've had people say every other sweet dessert...but rarely ever cotton candy...I love it!!!

Tested this today. The saleslady insisted on spraying it on paper and not on me and I'm kind of happy she did. This smells similar to Fantasy but not as fruity. I must say that this fragrance scares me a bit - Tinkerbell meets Alice in Wonderland. I also tested Parisienne by YSL again today and when I asked my husband which one he preferred he said Pink Sugar. How weird is that? I don't think I will buy this one. In my opinion Parisienne is a bit more sophisticated. Sure you can't really compare the two but let's face it, they are both very sweet. My little bottle of Fantasy will do me just fine for now thanks although lately I do feel like floral fruity gourmands have taken over my life :-)

bloodflower

on the contrary to popular opinion here i don't believe this perfume is sticky sweet. first of all let me say i don't like cotton candy or any artificial food, and i don't get cotton candy from this, at first sniff i get raspberry jam and lemon pie, i love both of these, but you don't smell like food, you smell "eatable" in a very good way. then the licorice, caramel, vanilla kicks in, hmm blissful heaven for sweet lovers..

I have mixed emotions about Pink Sugar. For me, the beginning of the fragrance smells like a cross between burnt rubber, melted licorice, and scorched carmel. It really is a wonder that I let it have a full day's wear. After about 20 minutes or so, the burning ingredients subside leaving me with a sugary concoction that is indeed reminiscent of pink cotton candy with carmel and vanilla thrown in just to make your teeth ache. I find that rather pleasant. I didn't get the fig or the citrus, or the berries. Just cotton candy, vanilla, and carmel the whole way through. I wanted to experience the complexity of all those wonderul notes and didn't..maybe it's my chemistry. Not that I'm complaining, I wanted a sugary fragrance, but the opening makes this a little iffy for me. I have to agree that Chocolovers is MUCH MUCH MUCH better. Wonder why they kept producing this one and don't sell Chocolovers anymore, it is clearly the better fragrance. I'll finish the bottle, but won't buy more. I rate it 6 out of 10.

one squirt is enough... to fill a whole classroom with this sweetness :S ooverwhelming for me :$ but it's possibly great.

deeper_shallow

They couldn't possibly have found a better name for this fragrance. It really does smell pink! Sugary, fluffy, a little sticky, so sweet it makes my teeth ache - like rolling around in a field of pink marshmallows.

But amidst all the sweetness, there are also some light, cute floral notes that sets off my hyperactive scent memory. When I was little, I (and most other little girls) collected scented erasers. My favorite one smelled exactly like this!

From this description, you might think that Pink Sugar is the most vile concoction ever to be bottled. But I absolutely love it, and will wear it whenever I need to pretend that everything is happy and sunny and I never have to worry about anything ever again. *twirl, skip and bounce*

Rouu

AMAZING Yummy,Delicouse,feminine and all f that ..truly best sugary perfume i have

Lucero

This perfume truely cheers me up!by the most part i wear it around the house,nothing special.

Jillzilla

While normally this would be right up my alley (pink fruits and cotton candy!), there is a note somewhere in the heart (licorice blossom?) that is not working with my chemistry and is staying very sharp. Also, the vanilla note in this fragrance becomes a little too powdery on my skin and borders on "dusty". I got the same effect from the vanilla note in Casmir, but in a much more extreme way.

CUPCAKEDOLL

Wonderful! It smells like strawberry fizzy candy and baked caramel. So original scent, I´ve never tried something like this before. If you like sweet fragrances, this will be a must-have for you!

Beusch

This perfume is fantastic!:) So sugary, sweet, so warm and light,so womanly,sexy, so pikant and fruity all in 1! :) some years ago have i searched so fragrance and when i found it, was i very very happy.:))) I found in this perfume myself. Evrybody catch sight of sy me, so prominent i am, when i use it:) complete winter and summer, spring and autumn:) i like it, i bless it, it's my favorit for years!:)i propose for women!:)

kastehelmi

I acquired a surprise sample of Pink Sugar, and always wanted to try it, knowing I wouldn't like it. Well what a surprise! I hated it. I don't like to smell like food, and I don't like cotton candy, so smelling like it is just no fun!

I would advise all gourmand-lovers and gourmand-explorers to try Chocolovers instead-it's not as sweet and headache-inducing, and doesn't smell so cheap. Plus, cotton candy is as synthetic as "food" gets, so why should synthetic notes try to smell like something else synthetic(marshmallows, cotton candy, Coca-Cola...)Where's the art in that?

ilikethequiet

I bought this today and promptly returned it within the first few hours. I loved the cotton candy top notes, but the burnt marshmallow middle notes were positively acrid on my skin. The dry down was somewhere between burnt rubber and the most horrifyingly chemical hairspray smell you can imagine. I'd hoped this would stay sweet and fun through the dry down, but clearly my body chemistry and pink sugar do not mix.

Lionessa

Airy, sugary, cotton candy from a summer country fair. A lark, pure fun.

sweetmarie

This is a very sweet smelling perfume. It has an unusual scent when first sprayed on but the dry down is very nice - a lot of vanilla and musk with sweeter top notes. It has good staying power on me, I just love it!

guest_alexanna7

Rasberry.licorice.cotton candy.caramel on me. sweet baby...

Thaigirl

It smells exactly like a cotton candy, which is not a wrong smell. It is a fun smell, but for me, you really have to be in the mood for this. I don't see myself going to a fancy restaurant wearing this.

yvashche

The name describes it exactly: you will smell like pink sugar.

Ldymrmlde

I love Pink Sugar. It's such a fun and sweet scent.

It reminds me of going to the summer Carnival and eating cotton candy and funnel cakes :)

zbarroness

this is a very sweet fragrance; however it is a fun (not work or sexy)fragrance. perfect for those times you want to have fun & act/feel like a kid again.

guest_LollIE

I have other versions of cheap drugstore cotton candy fragances, But this one is very strong and disgusting, like detergent dishwashing liquid with powder and something like caramel that last a very long time, just make me nauseaus when i remember this kind of plastic scent. I was waiting for a more exciting and interesting product.

guest_xox_pinkkloverrr (;

I love this smell its sugary and sweet
and in my opinion the best perfume i have ever smelled- 5 stars. (:

smellysmellycat

Everyone who's familiar with the way pink sugar smells also know that it's not everone's cup of tea.

I can't define it as a perfum in an usual sense but it smells woonderfull. It's a dream :)

Lana_M

I'm pretty crazy about Pink Sugar.
I've been searching a long time for this perfume and I was so happy when I found it!

No perfume can ever be too sweet for me. :D

It lasts a long time too.

Leyla

Aquolina Pink Sugar... I love and adore this scent.
Never have any scent talked so loud and clear to me before. I will never ever be without it.

kirbygal626

Cotton candy.Enough said. If you do not like cotton candy there is no way you will like this perfume. I personally do. This is my signature scent and i love it! This is by far the best perfume I have ever tried. It smells like cotton candy with a twist of vanilla and caramel. I highly reccomend this.

soniamcalear

Like the AFLAC goat says: "Na, Na, Na, Na". Way to surgary and not powerful enough for my nose that needs constant attention throughout the day. I need to be reminded what Im waring throughout my day and this one does not do it for me. Its a good teenager scent I imagine though.

thelaurenator

I loved this when I was 16 (when it first came out), because there was nothing like it back then. It is VERY complex for a gourmand, and I loved that back then, considering myself a budding scent connoisseur. Since then, I have moved on to bigger and better fragrances and I favor a more-grown up aesthetic experience from my perfumes. However, I could see anyone at any age enjoying this, if one doesn't mind an over-the-top sweet gourmand. It's playful while still being a coherent fragrance, which wins it more points in my book.

StephD

This smells like pure vanilla... the scent is soo strong, you only need one spray. I get many compliments on this. I like to spray it in my hair, and let the scent develop there. It's true that it smells alittle bit like burnt sugar at the start.... but what I like to do, is spray it in my hair, and wear another fragrance on my neck that will compliment the vanilla notes. I think it's a great addition to any collection if you like vanilla !

irishprincess

I absolutely love this perfume in spite of myself. I know this perfume is a love it or hate it fragrance, people say it's only for the young (I'm 28) and that it is way too sugary. It is very sugary, and it is very strong. I bought it unsniffed last year and I love it and never seem to tire of it. At first, all I smelled was cotton candy (which I admit I like) but if you take the time you can smell some of the other notes. It definitely does have that initial "burnt-something" smell but that quickly goes away and leads to a strong orange-cherry smell that is somehow better than the orange-cherry smell in Hidden Fantasy. It dries down to a wonderful sweet sugar, vanilla, cotton candy sweetness. It reminds me of the innocence you have as a girl and it is a nostalgic perfume, almost makes me yearn for childhood again...I think it is a good perfume for summer, but I also find it to be very comforting in the winter. It is not a perfume for everybody but it is worth a smell at least.

Adiro

Everything, Good and Bad, that was already said about this perfume is true. It is unique and daring.

I bought it because of its popularity, to see what is this all about. It is strong, sweet, and very candy like. Powerful cotton candy licorice vanilla caramel concotion.
Because it is so strictly delineated, it is a love or hate perfume. Many trully adore it. I am for sure among them, but only in certain days.

The projection and staying power are really great, big bang for your money, so it's worth sampling to see if it works for you. Many many children, women and men alike are very attracted to this scent.

sfonativeboy

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...

Frenzy

A friend told me my L by Lolita Lempicka reminded her of a scent she wore last fall/winter. While out shoppin I found a purse size roll on and decided to purchase it. It is so sweet! At first it is almost embarassing how sweet it is... it smells very juvenile. After a bit the dry down wasn't to bad. A coworker told me I smelled like a waffle cone. That sealed the deal for me... I will only wear this in the fall/winter and when outdoors. Defiantly not something a professional woman should wear at the work place.

guest_Moshi

...one more thing, if you're looking for something sweet, without the floral notes, you might like pink sugar. And, if you like sweet scents like me, but don't like Angel from Thierry Mugler, that's probably because of the patchouli note, that brings something old, too femme fatale. Pink Sugar is the sweet feminine girl or woman, not femme fatale. Well, this is just my opinion : )

guest_Moshi

Omg, this is so so so damn good! It's my all time favorite.
I don't like it in the paper (blotter?)'cause you can feel the peppery side on it, but on my skin... it's the sweetest thing i've ever smelled, and it lasts, lasts, lasts. It's so confortable and delicate that I really don't understand why some people don't like it. Well, taste is taste. Lucky my boyfriend loved it too! Oh, and for me it doesn't smell synthetic at all...

Mahala77

One of my favorite scents of all time. I love the fruity, candy floss smell. I never have to reply it, once in the morning and it lasts all day. Men really love it because it's so addictive. I need to get a new bottle. Is a lotion available????

eranaral

Couldn't stand the licorice smell it has, shame, cuz i really loved the sweet cotton candy in it.
lasts ok on me, 3-4 hours

carolfonte

I first heard about this fragrance watching a 'perfume collection review' on youtube.
Being a huge fan of sweet, gourmand perfumes as I am, I knew that I had to try this one, specially after reading the comments here.
I wanted to smell this so bad that I had to buy it without trying first, because they don't sell it here in Brazil.
And I'm glad I did it.
OH-MY-GOD, what an AMAZING perfume! It smells just like very yummy cotton candy.
I don't know what else to say. I guess it's a perfect perfume to wear all the time! I'm addicted to Pink Sugar.
And I don't agree that it smells like Fantasy. Maybe Fantasy fans (like me) will love this fragrance too, but they have nothing in common!

c3c

The best description I can give is it smells just like cotton candy. I didn't try it on though, just sprayed it on a card. I like sweet perfumes but I wasn't ready for this one. Maybe I should give it another shot?
Update ~ I gave it another shot, ordered a sample, tried it on...still all I smell is pink cotton candy. Like I was eating it at the fair and decided to rub it on me. No special notes or highlights, just the same thing from start to finish. Not awful, but not for me.

Fifinella

I love to wear "Pink Sugar" to sleep ;-)It gives me sweet vanilla dreams!
Very beautiful fragrance…warm, sensual but still innocent.

bartenderbabe

To me, this smells like a watered down, generic version of Britney Spears Fantasy. I can smell some of the same elements in the two, however, Pink Sugar is not near as vibrant and special as Fantasy. I have a few samples, but I guess I'll be giving them away.

nezzabel

This is a long and sort of emotional review.

Even being a fan of sweets scents, never, in a million years, could I thought that I could actualy like this fragrance. But, guess what? I love Pink Sugar!

The first time I heard about this fragrance was here on Fragrantica. This scent and the brand are not very popular in my country (at least among my group of friends) and I've never smelled it before.
Yesterday I found this fragrance "hiden" on the children shelf (along with Jacadi fragrances and Tartine et Chocolat fragrances), a shelf that I only pay attention when I'm going to buy some perfume for my adorable young cousins. So I think to myself: "Here it is... the World famous Pink Sugar that no one knows in Portugal! I have to smell it!".

And so I did. At first I sprayedin the papper and then on the skin.
On the papper it's very suggary and candied smell... smells exacly like pink cotton candy. It took me back to carnivals, to fun parks... My only thought was: "How I miss Feira Popular!" (something that only portuguese can really understand because it was the only fun park in Lisbon, right in the center of the city and everyone liked it and wanted to go there... years ago was shutted down).
This sweet scent brought me back to my childhood, to the afternoons and evenings on the Feira Popular... the smilles, the laughts, the merry-go-round, the giant wheel... oh, so nostalgic!
Even if this was a bit sweet and suggary for my taste this scent won me over because of this nostalgic feeling!

Then on my skin... WOW! This is not childish... it opens with sugar but then it dries down to a strong licorice smell combined with a sensual vanilla and musky feeling, settled down with a powdery note. This one blowed me away! Awesome!

Lasting power is great, the price is very affordable (about 15€ a bottle of 50ml/1.7oz)... cheap but not a cheap smell.
The scent is sweet but not sickly sweet and once it dries down is marvelous.
I'm so surprised - this is perfect for cold days, it realy has a warm, cozy feeling and it's so edible, careless and free. In one word: FUN!

Plus, this was the first time that my boyfriend went completely mad about a fragrance (and I'v never would described this as sexy!).

So if you need a little fun in your life and you need a scent to help you out and lift your spirit without spend a lot of monney... this is it!

Happy, fun, warm and nostalgic, a perfect Fall/Winter scent for me! How can I adore Chanel nº5 and Pink Sugar? Well, that's me!
And so, today I bought it and I'm very happy with my purchase.

morningstar13

I received this one as a gift, and love to wear it very often. That being said, I would get sick of it if I wore it everyday! My mom said that I smelt like chocolate one night that I wore it... :P I thought that was funny.

Adriana_87

A guy doesnt need to be a peadophile to like a sweet scent,i think thats a crazy thing to say.I know a lot of guys who likes vanilla and sugary scents on girls,thats a normal thing.Sweet scents has an afrodisiac effect,that is the reason why they get popular around men.

Adriana_87

Very fun and very sweet.My sister sprayed it on her hand today and i smelled candy of her all day!Its like putting your nose in bowl full av candies.Liqurice and gum candies,i used to not like this but have changed my mind today.It puts me in a good mood actually and of course in mood for sweets!I bet this makes the guys crazy..

ARIES1983

Yum! That's all I can say about this perfume. It is the perfect sweet perfume. Good for summer or winter IMO. I only wished that it was an EDP si that it would last longer, but I layer it with the lotion and this last pretty well throughout the day. I will continue to purchase this as long as Aquolina makes it.

guest_guest

When I first tried pink sugar a little while back, I can remember not liking it, but it wasn't the worst thing ever. I walked by a woman advertising it in the mall today, and was absolutely repulsed. The sweetness was cloying, and the scent was about as simple as it could get - burning cotton candy, nothing else. I can stand most fragrances, even ones I don't like, but this I can't even be around. Smells very cheap to me.

mrolfhus

I'm new to the perfumista world. Usually I wear something I like for years, but lately I've been branching out. I have quickly come to realize that great scent is a partnership between the perfume and your body chemistry.

That said, I LOVE this! The licorice is clear on my from first application all the way through the dry down and really works for me.

If you can get a sample of this to try before you buy, go for it. Everyone is different. On me, it makes my husband want to devour it. We have a friend who wears it, and he commented that she smelled cheap (he didn't know it was the same perfume).

It is definitely worth a try--and forget age! I am 43 and love this!

1blondeangel

I am absolutely addicted to this delectable fragrance! It's so yummy and both sexes tend to compliment me when wearing. And, what I like is the fact it lasts all day!

poppy_vanderbilt

who is very nice to look at but bores me and is so superficial when he opens his mouth....i still love the smell though..i think i might just be too old for it.

poppy_vanderbilt

I have always been on the fence about this one...on one hand i like it and it was very unique when it first came out with it's pink sugar zing however i think other perfume designers have improved on this concept..their are other pink sugar like fragrances on the market now and several of them i find were done much better...it is a very fun scent and the smell reminds most people of the smell of child hood and cotton candy at the fair..but then again there is no intimacy no real emotion to this fragarnce for me...very superficial...it's like a guy ho is

MaDi

The best of all perfumes I smelled in years!!
I'm complete addicted to pink sugar. I'm looking foward to buy the whole collection from pink sugar.

BluDreamer7806

I forgot I still owned this fragrance. When I first bought it, I just loved it so much. It's sweet and it does smell and remind me of cotton candy. I can't help but think about carnivals and sugary sweet treats when I'm wearing it. While it's sweetness will remind you of many other sweet fragrances, this one will easily stand out because of the licorice in it. I don't really care for the licorice scent, but this scent is very unique and well balanced and has good lasting power. If you like sweet- fun scents, and scents that will bring out your playful side, then this is definitely the bottle of juice you should wear. Yes, it's youthful, but if you like/love it, then embrace it.

Casi

I refuse to conform to the notion that a fragrance is "too juvenile" for me. I am 31 years young and even if I were 61 years young, I would still wear any scent that I find pleasurable, satisfying and fun. I don't need to own an entire bottle of Aquolina Pink Sugar. I have 3 sample vials and they will last for a very long time. I have only worn Pink Sugar out and about a few times, as I have many different perfumes that I prefer more. However, Pink Sugar is something that I love to wear at home. I love to wear it to bed and wake up to the light sweetness of it still lingering on me in the morning. Does Pink Sugar evoke images of eating pink cotton candy and riding the Ferris wheel at the county fair? YES! Does Pink Sugar make me feel like I am a human sweet treat? YES! That is the brilliance of this scent. It is fun, delicious and everything sweet. It is cute cupcakes, happy smiles and a warm summer's night. Some would call Pink Sugar simple, but surprisingly, it is just the opposite. How can I not have respect for an EDT that literally transports me to a place and time that has long been gone? As for the notes, I smell the following: In the beginning, it's all about the strawberries, praline, SUGAR and cotton candy...Give it some time before passing judgment, as this scent DOES develop and change over time...By the end, Pink Sugar has settled into a very light, airy, soft, powdery sweetness on my skin. I love to put a bit of this in my hair! I am quite impressed with how long this scent lasts, considering it is an EDT. All in all, this is a scent that should be respected for it's sweetness and fun.

HelloLovely27

guys really love this perfume! i think it smells amazing and i always feel like i smell amazing whenever i wear it. I am always getting compliments when i wear it!

Amanda79

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!!

missk

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.

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 otherwise 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!

MoietToi

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.. ^.^

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....

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.

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.

It's totally winter/fall fragrance, because it smells like old candy in summer.
I like to put it on when I'm going to bed. 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

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.

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

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.
