Pink Sugar Aquolina for women

fallen in love with it..I love cotton candy and sugar scents in it..my all time fav

For me this came off as peppery after the "sweetness" settled down. Not a bad scent - very unique. I eventually grew tired of it and did not purchase again.

My 5 year old boy-child thinks this is a great scent! He loves candy- and this smells exactly like freshly hot spun cotton candy.

I purchased the rollerball and it smells lovely! Defiatly recommend.soft and pretty reminds me of vanilla caramel! yummy!

I bought the shimmer roll on for my 3year old while shopping at Nordstroms. I am at the beginning of my perfume journey, hoping to find a signature scent.

Since my purchase will take lots of research and time, I got this for us to enjoy.

It smells SO GREAT! I would not wear it, but it's made for young girls. Perfect. I roll it on at nap time so she has something to smell while (hopefully) napping.

I can see this fragrance being her signature until she is at least 13. BY that time, I will likely be a perfume addict with a huge collection to share with her:)

Yeah! No crap disney perfumes in her future!

i love this perfume.it smells so sweet and makes me feel so fun and happy. it smells a bit like alcohol when you first spray it but it fades away of course and lasts for quite a while. One thing is I bought it at this discounted perfume store but it doesn't say Aquolina anywhere on the packaging. Does anybody have this same issue?

I love smelling sweet, and this one does it for me❤❤ absolutely love it!

This smells very linear to me. It has a vinyl-like scent (I suppose it's the licorice) that reminds me of Barbie dolls! I get no sugar or cotton candy...so sad!

My 5-years old son asked to buy this eau de toilet. The smell stays for long time.
I love it.

My apologies to the Pink Sugar enthusiasts but this will be my exceptional negative review. I hate this perfume. Am I not the only one who is reminded of those "strawberry shortcake" scented dolls? Yes, we all like the smell of food, but can we be a little more original than ordinary carnival fare? At least it lives up to it's name: Artificial pink cotton candy (insulation?) and yes, I am transported right back to the roller skating rink when I was a pre-teen. As to the guys loving this scent, I do not doubt it--I'm quite sure they do, but probably in the same way they would enjoy a perfume smelling of nachos.

I am 30 and I love Pink Sugar...
I dont wear it everyday, because I have come to the conclusion that it will only behave on my skin when its the proper time of the month. If I ever dare to wear it when Im not supposed to (you know when ladies), my skin will amp up the licorice note to intolerable levels...
One must never overspray Pink Sugar, the best thing to do is wear a light vanilla body lotion underneath, dont spray directly on the skin, instead spray into the air and walk through the mist...This way Pink Sugar will work nicely with your skin chemistry and I strongly encourage you to dont give up on it, try walking through the mist first...
On me, this baby opens up with a citrusy note blended with a tangy berry, then the vanilla bursts with some light hints of licorice...the cotton sugar note and the caramel start blooming upon the first 15 minutes...The final result, is a very Pink Cream Brulee with a nice citrusy kick...
I like Pink Sugar and I see myself wearing it for many years to come, I honestly dont feel this fragrance is for young girls only, the same way I dont think Shalimar is suitable for mature women only...

I love this fragrance so much because of the way it develops. At first spritz, the licorice, cotton candy, and caramel come out. It almost had a soapy sweet scent that I was not crazy about. However, after a few minutes, I am left with cotton candy and caramel wrapped in vanilla. It's very soft and delectable :) I would never wear this and immediately go out just because of the soapy scent. But after that first few minutes, it's heavenly!

I am not ashamed to say that I love the smell of sweet cotton candy and vanilla. I am almost twenty years old and I don't care if I smell like a 10 year old. This fragrance puts me in mind of the Katy Perry concert I went to see in June. The entire collosium smelled of cotton candy. It was one of the best nights of my life and whenever I smell Pink Sugar, nothing but good memories with people I love come to mind. I also love to spray this around my room. The lasting power is fabulous.

I Have it,it's realy awesome

I just found a 3.4 oz bottle for $24.99 @ R O S S! SO AWESOME! : )

a little sweet but smells divine starts with a cotton candy scent and fades to a caremel 7/10

This fragrance is a real magnet for men! all these reviews were 100% correct! I have received so many compliments!

I wear 5 perfumes in rotation... Angel , hypnotic poison , black orchid, fantasy and cinema... As soon as one finishes I buy the new bottle so as not to be ever without one... I wanted a new perfume to expand the life of my perfumes but something that I could wear everyday and be likeable-I am a teacher-they adore fantasy... Since I have fantasy and after reading the reviews I was afraid that pink sugar would be a nightmare... It's not!! In fact what comes to mind when sniffing it is sweet whisper!! Not as sweet as fantasy yet sweet but fresh... In my mind fantasy is fuchsia and pink sugar is light pink... I think I'm in love!!!

This is my signature scent right now :) I LOVE this perfume so much!

just a tip...if you use the lotion and the perfume, a little perfume will just last all day. If you only use the perfume, I find it is easy to "over do it" if you aren't careful.

this perfume never does me wrong! its one of my fave perfumes of all time! i get compliments on how good it smells on me left and right, from both women and men. love.love.love .

This is nice, and pink sugar is what it smells like, but to me, I ONLY get pink sugar, no cotton candy scent at all. It's as SWEET as cotton candy but doesn't smell like it. Body Fantasies has a cotton candy scent that is a dead ringer for the real cotton candy at a fraction of the price. I think I might be let down if I'd have spent the full asking price and got this on a blind buy. I got this half price after Christmas as a set with body wash and lotion. It's okay and I like it but I'd never recommend this to anyone. The bottle isn't so pretty, rather plain, but the tube the bottle comes in is really cute. It might be the best part of the buy for me. It might be my expectations were just too high? I'll use this, and it's fun, certainly not a waste. I do think it could have been much better though.

I bought this perfume, because everybody wrote, it would smell like cotton candy, caramell, christmas cookies or whatever. But it's simply not true. The perfume smells disgusting! The liquorice is so strong and it ruins the whole scents! I love extremely strong sweet and/or fruity scents. But unfortunately Pink Sugar just makes me sick and gives me a headache...

I smell cotton candy and a lot of sugar. I can say "burnt sugar" and it is not pleasant for my nose ;)

people would call me crazy but i have to admit it i have 4 bottles of this right now..3 haven`t opened yet..because I LOVE THIS FRAGRANCE SOOOOOOOOO MUCH!

I finally got pink sugar,for me licourice and cotton candy are the main top notes I can smell. I fyou like scents like fantasy,show time and sweet darling by kylie minogue then tou will most likely love this fragrance like me!

Well, i just can't stand this perumes! It smells horrible sweet, although i like sweet scents for me it's just too much.. I don't know about lasting couse i washed it off as soon as i could.

i got a bottle of this today as a belated xmas present and i think it is a knock off as it does not say aqulina on it.i must say if it is a counterfeit it is an amazing one.all of the notes described here are present and accounted for.The cotton candy and vanilla are there right up front followed by the a hard licorice with a whisper of red berries(which i love)and finally it is a subdued licorice soft musk and toasty caramel.(i didn't get the orange ,Lilly of the valley.or bergamont :( )i think it is rather pleasing but i do prefer blue sugar as it has more character.Over all i would rate it at a 7 1/2 out of 10.

Like this perfume a lot. When I first spray it, for me the licorice dominates. However, the dry down is a mixture of raspberry, vanilla, caramel and sugar. It last all day long on me!!!!

Cotton candy on acid. I love it!I think BBW's Pink Sugarplum smells similar. Yummy.

I have the 1 fl. oz. bottle that I got a Nordstrom Rack for $15. I am so in love with this scent. I find it very girly, flirty and fun! Note that if you get headaches easily, do NOT wear this scent. I don't get headaches because of this scent. Oh, by the way, the guys love this scent.

I love cotton candy. This smells EXACTLY like standing at the street vendor cotton candy machine, with that warm sweet unmistakable cotton candy scent wafting up! Not too sweet for me. In fact, I might layer this under a few of my non-sweet spicy perfumes to kick them up a notch!

Can't add more to whats been said. If you like cotton candy this is the one for you!

this perfume makes me so incredibly happy every time i wear it! it is snowing outside and i love how this caressing and sweet scent surrounds me. although i find it very strong, my boyfriend told me, i smelled so good, so fresh (?! yes, he did say that!) somehow. i guess, one or max. two sprays are enough to smell happy, well protected and playful just like a child again. all day long.

To me, this smells like a mixture of sweets, sugar, and vanilla. I am a huge fan of sweet smelling perfumes but this can get a little sickly for me. I do like it but i couldn't wear it on a daily basis. I have however recently discovered that if you spray it once or twice in front of you, and then walk into it, it smells lighter and a lot better! Hope this helps people who find it a little too strong :)

I have a love/hate relationship with this fragrance.

The love: I'm a fan of vanilla/creamy/warm scents, so this fits all of those catagories. Every time I wear it, I get compliments... especially from men. It stays on my skin FOREVER. As in, put it on in the morning after a shower and it stays until bedtime. I feel that the fragrance is at its best when it has had some time to melt into my skin and mellow out.

The hate: Sometimes it smells like burnt caramel. Sometimes it smells cheap. Sometimes I feel embarrassed to wear a too-sweet cotton candy disaster.

All in all, I like it. I enjoy having it in my collection and spritz it on (carefully!) when the mood strikes. I would love to see a lighter version of this fragrance; perhaps something a grown woman could pull off and smell ridiculously sexy without being "too much."

What is the old nursery rhyme about girls being made of sugar and spice and eveything nice? This isn't at all spicy but creamy and very sweet. I love the intitial spray , there's bergamot and I smell apples too. Then lots of caramel and vanilla which is a favorite of mine , so I am very happy with my purchase of this perfume. I do think this is in the order of Hard Candy but my opinion is that Hard Candy is more intense and complex. Both are like sister perfumes,Pink Sugar is softer and cuter if you will.
The licorice note is a nice little pop of spicy sweetness, but very soft.
The name says it all so anyone who dislikes the idea of sweet candy like scents is duly warned by the name, it doesn't false advertise or mislead!
Love this, is sweet and girly, could be perceived as sexy on by some smelling this on a certain woman, to me its' the wearer and the perfume that makes a scent work anyways.
I have to add that when Ive went out wearing this people have asked me what kind of lotion am I wearing and that it smells very vanilla like, I tell them and they swear it smells more like a really nice lotion.
Longevity is great,6 hours and just starts to fade around 8 hours of wear.

A top five for sure. A complex perfume that transforms throughout the day. At first spray, there is a sharp spicy citrus that almost stings the nostrils in a pleasant way. Within the first hour of wearing the licorice and bergamot is dominant and provocative. Later, the dry down is a caramelized raspberry sugar which is the foundation that holds the perfume together. Seemingly innocent but sexy and spicy. My only wish would be if it could last longer on the skin- only lasts 4 hours for me.

At fist its smell like cotton candy with fruits, then when you put it on skin it start to smell cheap and yucky.

The name tells you everything you need to know.

Here is THE "pink" fragrance. If you want one, this is the superior, concentrate product.

I can admire its honesty in choice of name, and what it is. Very humble and unpretentious. Unlike those bait-and-switch frags with sophisticated marketing, which turn out to be all "pink" on the inside.

It's warm. It's comforting. It's edible.

When I was a fatty I loved gourmands. Now I'm a little waif and can't stand anything that smells edible. I just wear flowers nowadays.

Pinkie Pie would wear this with joy.

Just to satisfy my curiosity of what a sugary scent would be like on my skin, I gave this a whirl. The result was an overbearing sweetness and confirmed what I had already assumed; sweet scents are not for this gal.

I love this scent. When I have it on, it reminds me of cotton candy! Everyone at work always ask me what I have on when I wear it!

Pink Sugar is very similar to Bath and Body Work's Vanilla Bean Noel, but is a much stronger fragrance. It isn't something I'd want on my skin.

This fragrance is not my favorite. It's not bad, but it's not good either. When I first put it on, it was too strong. The scent softens over time, but I would still have to say it is not my favorite. Overall it's just ok.

When I first sprayed it, I didn't like it very much. Kinda had a sour smell to it. Kinda bitter. But after it dried down it started to smell better. A few hrs later it smells soft and sweet. Not overwhelming at all. At least not on me. I'm gonna try the other scents...the chocolate one and the sensual one.

What you see is what you get with this one. It's pink and sugary when you first spray it, pink and sugary in the middle and dries down pink and sugary. It has other notes like raspberries and secondly licorice, but the vanilla and caramel stays all the way through.
It is truly a yummy gourmand scent with its noticeable notes of caramel and vanilla, it also has a warmth to it. I'm OK with the licorice not being overpowering, because I have lolita lempicka if that's what I'm feeling like.
This was what I was expecting TM's Angel to be. At the moment, I think Angel must be the most vile perfume I've ever sniffed with its migraine inducing scent of Willy Wonka's chocolate river of Styx, and therefore I was happy to find this.

I've tried two versions of it, one being the candystriped EDT and the other being a body spritzer spray. I must say I prefer the EDT and it's not a very expensive one, so I recommend going with that one. The body spritzer seems to mainly smell like cotton candy licorice one me, but in an artificial kind of way.

This smells sweet like cotton candy with a bite of spice to it. Maybe it's the bergamot or licorice, but for me...I was thinking black pepper! It's kinda nice, sets it off from being too overwhelmingly sweet.

I really enjoy the scent of Pink Sugar. It smells strong at first but the dry down is wonderful. So sweet and delicious.

This was the most bizarre fragrance for me. The first few minutes consisted of the sweet sugar scent with an odd underlying synthetic smell, almost like rubber. Afterwards, it was this rollercoaster of sweet sugar highs and burnt sugar lows. Every five minutes, it felt like it switched! It finally (like, 2 hours later) settled to a soft but uber-sweet scent.

The destination for me was like a vacation that you built up too much in your mind, and found boring in the end. The journey was an airplane ride with too much turbulence and a bunch of crying babies.

This is very loud.
Smells like sticky cotton candy and then licorice then very simple vanilla

It smells like food in a very literal way, which is simply not what I look for in perfume.

I was given 2 free samples of this so I *really* tried to like it, but unfortunately I was disappointed. I found this scent to be obnoxiously sweet for about the first hour, and even after it mellowed a bit it was still very one note. I personally can't stand the taste or smell of licorice, but luckily it faded away as the day went on until all I could smell was vanilla. This was not bad, but if I wanted a vanilla scent I would definitely go with one that did not start out so cloying.

I don't like to go mainstream anymore, but I do get MANY compliments when I wear this...:-)

I am definately not a teenager and I have to say that I get more compliments when wearing this fragrance than any other that I own, particularly from other women. It definately brings me to a happy place!

I really like this perfume. I loved it when it was introduced to me in eight grade and kept chasing the sweet fluffyness year after year. I actually find myself craving this scent from time to time.
Is this scent obnoxious? Damn straight it is! Love it for that, warm sweetness that knows no boundaries. I like dabbing it behind my ears. It's cute, coy, and playful when used in moderation.

i think that pinksugar is the most lovly fragrance for the girls from 7-13
this fragrance is the best!

I liked it a couple of years ago because it's fun and I love sweet scents but then everybody started using it. And by everybody I mean EVERYBODY. I smell Pink Sugar on every second girl so I got sick of it.

Too sweet without much else. Unbearable.

On me I get the cotton candy note, bur not a whole lot, I get more of the sweet creamy caramel and vanilla which is absolutely delicious! I almost feel like some of the review are a little dramatic, it is sweet, but I don't find it sickening so. I think if you can handle Fantasy by Britney Spears then you can handle Pink Sugar. It is sweet and fun and can be perfect for an everyday scent, on someone that doesn't have a stick in the mud. I'm actually quite appalled by the reviewer that says a woman should smell "upper class." Chanel 5 does not fit my personality at all and quite honestly I don't quite like it to begin with. Pink sugar fits me. It smells good to me. And I'm going to rock it whenever I please because I understand it and it understands me. Ladies, dont listen to those that put themselves on a high horse and try to judge you. If you like something then rock it like no one else in the world can!

At first spritz, the nose is inundated with plumes of sweetness. A violent upheaval of sugar meddles with the senses, as though the atomiser catalysed an explosion of cupcakes and marshmallows. But it soon calms as the reactions complete.

Sniff carefully and you'll notice tangy nuances of orange and liquorice dancing playfully amidst the fairy floss and vanilla.

The dry-down is soft and bittersweet, leaving a gentle veil of aromatic musk and berries.

This is indeed a powerful, sweet fragrance, and it has the capacity to overwhelm. But let it settle down and linger for a while before judging it too critically.

The result is a fine, pleasurable and tantalising gourmand that frolics around you.

I'm more of a floral/fruity person who prefers things to be more on the 'fresh' side, but enjoy this nonetheless. Would recommend no more than one or two spritzes for fear of being obnoxious; from what I've read, sillage is outstanding on both skin and clothing.

If you do not like sweet fragrances. DO NOT ATTEMPT. I find that a little goes a long way. I really like this one because it becomes bearable over time.

I love and adore this fragrance I get more compliments when I wear this than any other , including Coco, Chance, sublime etc, this wins them all as for people asking me what I am wearing. I love it, it's a bright Cotton Candy, light and sweet I am used to it so it isn't too strong for me at all in fact I am looking for an oil dupe that can last longer than the original. :)

I don't quite understand all the negative reviews for this, if you don't like to smell like a sugary sweet confection with an extra puff of powdered sugar on top, you shouldn't wear this. Really. It's called PINK SUGAR, and comes in a bottle with pink candy stripes, there's really nothing misleading about it. That aside, I find it fun to smell like cotton candy once in a while, makes me feel a bit more happy and bouncy when I'm having a bad day.

This is all about cotton candy and marshmallows! It actually smells *fluffy*, somehow, maybe it's a tiny tinge of powderiness, like the way scented plastic dolls used to smell. It doesn't actually smell like doll though, it smells like a candy shop, sweet and warm, like vanilla-caramel fluff. It's not fruity at all to me, and I only get a faint hint of licorice at the beginning.

Also, a little goes a LONG way with this one. The sillage is pretty amazing! I tried it on my wrists, and I'm actually more comfortable smelling the little cloud it creates. I agree with anneymn, it's not as nice up close, it starts to bother me if I have my wrists near my face, it has a weird rubbery edge and is way too syrupy sweet at that range. The fluffy sugar cloud it creates is just wonderful though, as long as there's a little distance I don't get that synthetic edge from it.

Update: "Mmm, you smell like marshmallows!" Think this is a winner :)

The only way I can wear Pink Sugar EDT:
Sprayed Pink Sugar on a clean blouse last month...about 5 sprays I think (I was holding my breath), then stuck it in the closet without wearing it(my whole closet smelled like PS).
Packed the same blouse in my suitcase a week later before travelling to another country, blouse still smelled strongly of Pink Sugar.
A few weeks later, I finally unpacked my suitcase, and the cotton candy scent on my blouse was absolutely delicious, soft, fluffy, noticeable, no burnt/bitter notes.
I finally wore the blouse to meet a friend yesterday and she was practically pulling my hair to get me to tell her what scent I'm wearing (I told her ofcourse, though she doesn't know that I sprayed the scent on a month ago!!). What on earth is in this stuff????? This is some seriously potent sh*t. I actually had to wait a whole month to get it to smell like how I want it to smell lol. Suffice to say I'm not spraying this on my skin, just on my clothes.

This perfume only works in small doses. It's hard to "match", since it's not really a perfume to wear at work or not even at a night out. Smells exactly like candy, and probably fits teenage girls rather than 25+ women. Though, I still like it, but only in small doses like I mentioned. My boyfriend hates it, haha!

It took a second try for me to like Pink Sugar. Now, I love it! The notes blend perfectly with my chemistry. If vanilla, caramel, and cotton candy sooth your sences, then give Pink Sugar a try!

I'm a sweet tooth so walking around in cotton candy/ fairy floss/ candy floss with a hint of vanilla is just fine. This smell is for the sweet cute girls!! *^.^*

Doesn't stay on me though, it's quite gentle I layer it with ella mikao yujin paradise and sex in the city kiss mwahahaha I'm a fiend for sweet empowerment!!! :D

Holy mother of...It is Charlie Wonka (Johnny Depp version) on steroids. Oompa Loompas. Followed by Nazi Teletubbies, Hansel and Gretel running from some old woman that wants to eat them. Mummy Cabbage Patch Kids, still cute and bright, just ghouling. Candy for flowers. And Friendly's in every corner. Everyone's dying their hair in Manic panic (not just the cool people that can rock those colors). Lady Gaga is President, Britney Spears is Vice president. Nicky Minaj is Secretary of Defense. Katy Perry is Secretary of State. And Barney is Chief Justice. Carnies, lots of carnies. Extreme Cake baking is the national sport, and Duff Goldman is a national war hero. The baker's district is the new "Red Light District". Oh why, oh why, lord have mercy, WHY???!!!!!

I remember the first time I tried this fragrance, I almost chocked and saw everything in double vision. It was a Cotton Candy explosion. I used to love cotton candy, had the cavities to prove it. But ever since I sniffed this, no lie, I've avoided it like the plague. I still can't picture cotton candy without wanting to gag. My nose is so sensitive that if something just overpowers my senses in a bad way, I will do everything possible to avoid it. I don't understand how someone can wear this. Why? I'm a fairly young person, at 20, and find this completely banal. Even when I was a teenager I ran away from this. This is like "gourmet" Bath and Body Works, their recent stuff. BBW used to create wonderful stuff (their Gardenia, which they discontinued, was amazing), but now they are too "teensy".

I can see how it would work if it had less "sugar". I can also see how it would work on some people, but most people can't pull this off. To wear this, you have to decide that you are wearing it for the fun of it. Like the Manic Panic hair dyes, like 6" heeled holographic stripper platforms. Fun within reason.This is another accessory. Albeit, one that might get mixed reviews. Like Couture fashion. The notes here all come out at once, not gradually, hence my description of the madness in the first paragraph. I don't like licorice at all, and it is strong in this one. This is licorice flavored cotton candy. The caramel and vanilla feel sprinkled on top of the cotton candy. You know how after eating cotton candy you feel like you need something salty or water? Like you can't have anymore sweet stuff before your senses of smell and taste become sensitive? This is what I feel with this. It has no balance. It doesn't help that most of the time, the people who wear it tend to over do it. Like they showered in it.

This is evil to my nose. My teeth are crackling and my throat is dries just at the thought of it. However, to each his own. Where would we be if we all had similar tastes?

This perfume is not for the faint of heart. You have to be all out sugar! On me it smells like waffles covered in syrup and lasts a long time. Just be sure to try before you buy!

i smelled this one, in Melbourne city.
didnt smell any liquorice at all. just sweet sugary goodness, my boyfriend loved it.
it made me feel good :) and it turned a few heads throughout the city trip.
but im going to have to test it again properly because the liquorice sounds so interesting.

I wish I liked this on myself! I get too much of something tangy, and licorice. I can't quite get into it when I wear it.

However I was in a furniture shop yesterday with my husband, and a sales associate came out and was chatting with someone a couple feet away. Gradually this wonderful, subtle, glowing scent wafted over, it reminded me of making hummingbird food or simple syrup. I asked the SA if she was wearing perfume, and she said "Yes, it's Pink Sugar."

! If only it smelled so good on me! So jealous XD I told her that this is the perfect scent to wear to make lots of sales, because it will make all her customers feel happy lol!

So, this does have good sillage without being obnoxious or offensive. On her it was not overly sweet, just a perfect wonderful blend of sweetness. I'm going to try the Sensual version when I get the chance to, it doesn't have the licorice and I'm hoping it will agree with my nose better than the original.

i love it GREAT for teens!

FINALLY GOT IT!!! Can't find it in my country so...Yeah...it was a blind buy!!!AND LOVE IT!!! I get a hint of that bergamot at first spritz but in 5 sec the licorice is standing out very strong! The drydown as all the people say: PURE COTTON CANDY AND VANILLA! What I like about it is that it doesn't smell like sticky sugar,it has it's own interesting notes that puts this scent away from that bucket of cheap smells! You must love sweet scents to like this one! Otherwise stay away cause it can give you a headache!

I've been wearing Hard Candy and have been into those luscious 'gourmand' scents. Now this one is definitey a crowd pleaser! I used to get these 'wow! you smell sooo yummy' comments with Hard Candy but i get twice as much with Pink Sugar. It is not so expensive in Canada, it has uncanny staying power, leaves a 'sillage' which gets noticed and i must say appreciated. On my skin, there is no chemical harshness and the berries and cotton candy blend together to create this creamy cashmere fragrance. Personally, i love it. It gets me in a good mood (a definite pick me up for candy lovers like me!) and worn with another fragrance, it is simply delicious (i like combining it with Hard Candy or Can Can) . Plus, my boyfriend always has his nose close to my neck, inhaling deeply: who wouldn't love that? ) :D

I don't think there is anything wrong with this other than it is what it is!

Sweet but uninteresting no complexity unless you mention the liquorice twist which some will hate and some will love. Other than that sugar, sugar, sugar, slightly burnt all the way!

It is a bit on the flat side, not bad for layering but not much staying power. It starts out strong but runs out of steam quite quickly.

All in all I've probably found more to interest me in a rice pudding!

Its too sweet..

It smells really sweet at first but than after an hour of having it on it smell weird.Smells alot like cotton candy and is over powering!!!!!!!!!!!

Now this is called hardcore sweetness!

The scent is sweet to the extreme, watch out, it can cause your teeth ache ;) Seriously, if somebody wants a cotton candy scent, here it goes, but there are at least ten cotton candies in one. Actually it's hard to detect most of the notes, I can sniff mostly the effect of cotton candy.

B. Spears "Fantasy" is very similar to Pink Sugar. Maybe Pink Sugar is interesting - it is - but it's not my cup of tea. I understand to spray it on my hand from time to time, but on a neck? No way.

Edit: no way I managed to spray it on a hand too - no more. The scent is sweet to the point of sickness.

I adore this perfume, and I'm a 20 year old college student. It starts off as a warm cotton candy scent, then as it blends with my body chemistry it becomes a lovely deep,vanilla-sugar scent. To all commenting "Ew this is a childish fragrance, no one over the age of 5 should wear it" who are you to tell someone what they can and cannot wear? It's called preference.

I love this perfume, cant get enough of it!, not over powering atal, you can definatly smell the Licorice in it which I love! when its settled for a while its a realy pleasent sweet candy/Licorice smell, think this one is the best one out of all the perfumes I own!! highly recomend if your into sweey/gourmond perfumes!!

i bought this unsniffed as it's impossible to find in scotland and i had to have it imported.

i read lots of positive reviews and the notes listed sounded right up my street.

when i spray it i get a very strong hit of liquorice and then it fades out to a bland sort of sweet smell.

it's pleasant and i do wear it now and again, but there's definately something missing in it for me, it wasn't what i was expecting.

i think it's maybe a bit too flat or linear for me, or maybe the sweet smell just isn't fruity like i'm used too?

i have since been told that maybe hard candy would be more my sort of thing, so i may have to give that a try (maybe its more fruity?)

I didn't like it at first, but after trying it for the second time; LOVED IT!

I think this is a beautiful fragrance for young girls. Whenever I wear this to school, some of my friends will just get really close to me just to get a whiff of Pink Sugar, they'll always say "Mmm...you smell delicious!" and I'll just chuckle.
I love wearing this on a cold day because it's so comforting and warm! I love it!

When I first smelled this awhile ago I despised it. Really, I didn't get it at all. Then one day for kicks, I had my boyfriend smell it. He absolutely loved it, which made me reconsider a bit. I'd say this perfume isn't for a lot of occasions and settings; it's not for the office or class, or every day wear. But now and then when you're looking for the ultimate in sugar-coated candy gourmand, this might be the one to reach for. I don't love this, and will never love it or understand the popularity (it's not sexy or very intruiging, and it's definitely synthetic), but I just might purchase the rollerball eventually as a novelty. Something I could easily get a toothache with, but now and then would be fun to indulge in. On a more basic note, I don't get any fruit in this at all. The longevity is pretty impressive. Use this sparingly, it has some throw that can be overpowering.

At first I thought this was for a younger crowd, but I actually decided to get it and I absolutely enjoy wearing this fragrance. I get compliments on this every time I wear it. It lasts all day which is a huge plus since a lot of perfumes tend to not have staying power. I found that it smells just like Victoria secret's soft and dreamy pink with a splash.

Maybe I'm just a sucker for gourmand scents with licorice/star anise in them, but this is my current everyday perfume and a pleasant enough alternative to Lolita Lempicka. Pink Sugar is the kind of scent that can be over-applied easily; it's a slippery slope between smelling nice and smelling like a stripper dipped in cotton candy (unless you want to smell like that, in which case, go for it!). At first I found it pretty pedestrian, but this perfume has grown on me. Like sugar cookies, it's sweet, comforting, but nothing too exciting -- but sometimes that's exactly what you need in a perfume.

When I first tried Pink Sugar I couldn`t stand the strong liqourice.

But now I LOVE this perfume, even the liqourice part!

I don`t care that I may be considered to old for this fragrance - do you hear that, all you pompous sourposs people out there?! My favourite scents are sweet smellers. Anything candy/cookie/vanilla is irresistable to me.

The sillage and longevity when sprayed on clothes is AMAZING. And the price is just as yummie as this little vanilla treasure!

I love Pink Sugar!
It was a blind buy based on the notes and the reviews and it did not disappoint. I haven`t smelled anything like it before. The most edible, gourmand experience ever.
Sticky sweet raspberry opening, followed by the lovely combination of cotton candy - burnt sugar - caramel.
It is simple and delicious, a must try for all gourmand lovers out there!
Excellent longevity for an EDT , it gives many EDPs a run for their money in fact!
Sillage is good.

PS. : Please don` t be nasty when reviewing this fragrance - it is different, yes. Sticky sweet, yes. Fun, girly, simple and a lot of us like it. As an enthusiastic fan of Pink Sugar I am pretty offended by some of the reviews saying "why would someone want to smell like sugar" or "it is for 5 year olds". Fragrance is about different tastes, individualism and having fun, not about age. Pink Sugar is hugely popular for a reason, get over it ! :)

At a whiff I just notice a sugary, caramel, cotton candy, with a little musk. I think its safe to assume that passerby children and guys would enjoy this.

I notice the licorice and red berries while waving my wrist infront of my nose (heh) If i put the wrist to my nose it becomes stingly sweet, chemical like... so I won't keep my nose there because I like it from a little distance.

I think it would be fine for any season really, but imagine it could be cloying in hot weather in a confined place.

If you are into your sweet perfumes definately one for you!

Smells more like something you could eat though. Think this bottle is going to stay 3/4 full for me. maybe give it to my 12 yr old daughter it would be suited more to a pre-teen female rather than a woman in her 30's lol!

dis d best perfume i hv eve got d pleadure to knw to smell...simply delicious i juz fel lyk to eat maslf up rele..................too sweet creamy choco pinkishhh flav...am luvin it...

Lovely candy scent, and lasts forever on my skin... Sooooo long lasting, sooooo yummy!

I put some of this on and started craving flan...then realized it was the pink sugar making me hungry. This smells like flan in a really good way! Vanilla and caramel with some cotton candy sweetness :) I hope everyone knows what flan is :D

My teen daughter bought this. Sickly sweet. Like wearing cotton candy.

seriously after 15 min u apply this fragrance,people around u would say that u smells like CHOCOLATE!

it's extremely, dangerously sweet. it may probably only be sutable for 5 yearolds that are into hellokitty and barbies and tonns of sweets and ice cream. its longevity is incredible for edt. it may be ok for the winter if you don't overdo it, otherwise it's a killer. out of the bottle it smells like burnt sugar. i still can't make up my mind about it: it's nicely sweet - it's too sweet.. another con: it gives me a huge, horrible headache.. i'd give it 6 out of 10.

I was very lucky, I got this on sale with the hair mist, body lotion, and shower gel for a very good price that I simply couldn't resist! Its extremely sugary so I really think the name suits the fragrance. Its def a cold weather scent, I don't think this will react pleasantly with the heat as its super strong. Just don't take this so seriously, its just meant to be a fun fragrance. It reminds me so much of those cotton candy wads they serve at carnivals. My favorite part of this fragrance is when the licorice starts to emerge, its something that gives it a little personality. Initially it may smell like just any other sugary fragrance, but if you wait till the dry-down you'll see that its so much more than just sugar...

Oh dear! This one I found very appealing the first time I tested it, I was so charmed by it that I purchased myself a 1.7oz bottle on the spot...big mistake. Overtime, I started getting awful headaches because of it, and I started noticing a very pronounced burnt/rubbery note that wasn't there the first time I had tried it. I will stick with the body cream when I feel like smelling of cotton candy, and I'd recommend it to those who enjoy its scent but find this EDT too overpowering and vulgar. The other products from the Pink Sugar line are very fragranced but do not have that harsh burnt edge that is present in the EDT.

Oh well too bad it has a cheap name, hah. I (F) love this scent and my partner (M) goes nuts whenever I wear it cos he wants to eat me on the spot.
If you love the scent but are dying to pay more, go ahead and buy Profumum's Aqua e Zuccchero. It's not totally identical, but absolutely close. And yeah, AeZ is a little bit more tangy, more sophisticated. But just a liiiiiitle bit.

Just a note to Feeble....I've tried to wear Chanel No. 5 several times before and to say ON ME it smelled like hell would be a compliment, it truely is that bad! ON ME and masses of other non 5 year olds Pink Sugar smells wonderful not fairgrounds or childish at all. Perhaps your wife's chemistry simply did not agree with Pink Sugar.....

Oh the burn ,the burn! The horror! The ho-rror!
Burnt sugar overdose!
All I can say that this was my initial impression, which I can't lie I still have! Nonetheless it is wearable (If you want to overdose anyone in the close proximity with sugar)! Still all joking asides it is a fairly creamy caramel vanilla sugar sweet cotton candy syrupy scent(instant cavity maker)!It is long lasting! I'll give you that! And from my POV no consenting adult should wear this! BUT this seems to have a mind of it's own or some sort of mojo cause all the ladies like it!
My narrow minded osmotic sense cannot wrap its little head around why somebody would want to smell like candy!And why somebody would pay money for smelling sweet, but they do!
It's not really bad, for somebody who likes gourmand sweet, sickeningly sweet -this would be an instant hit!
I could be nasty about this but, meh....bottom end it's the run of the mile, un-original smell that you can find on 9 outta 10 high school girls!

Sickly sweet, if sugar had an oddur it would smell like this, it's not 4 everyone but most teen girls(me included) would probably love it :)

This is the most worn perfume from young ladies !
This tells the rating in fragrancex.com.
i like the pre-previous simple critic :cheap and de-li-ci-ous!

< Some time ago, my beloved wife had this , i don't even know what to call it,a mistake of science or perfumery, a bad experiment, nuclear bomb,Hiroshima dipper in Ice cream, Hitler with a pink bow on the head, call it whatever you want.
Being on the verge of barely vomiting our guts out, nauseated , horrified, we started questioning ourselves why would any mature, civilized and refined woman could make such a huge blunder in owning such a perfume. ( Just wait I haven't got to the part where she actually wears it).
I really don't how can some people even think of comparing it to Chanel's No 5, or other ageless masterpieces .
To me, and not only me, i not at least 2 dozen of people who can't even mention the name Pink Sugar (oohhh, the horror). I think they would rather prefer a ritual of crucifiction with black boiling tar sprinkled on top than wearing the...THING!
Before buying this please also relate to the fact that this screams BAD TASTES down the boulevard , three times around the earth, culminating with " WTF is this ? "
We all know men are no the best to what concerns fashion , beauty, art or other female preoccupations, but I think this triggers the alarm for cotton candy on heels with a bag alarm a.k.a run for you life. Yes it's that horrid. Since Chanel's No.5 represents the personification to how a woman should smell like , this is in the other end of the alley. It's like going to a soiree in a full lenght black silk gown and stilletos , with a label on your forehead that says : I'm only 5.
Perfume is about taste, upper class, smelling distinctively good, not about showing everyone that you still enjoy rides at the fair in your mid 30's with a candy cane in your hand, and your husband in the other.
Ladies, there are other options out there, sure, maybe not as cheap and pink as this, but better .
But of course this is only my opinion. The next time children run after you thinking it's the ice cream truck shouldn't surprise you >

cheap and delicious:)
i like it

I also love this!! I couldn't say it any better than charlottesmom below. Wonderful review. And it's true, some perfumes are timeless and it doesn't matter how old you are. Pink Sugar is timeless, mysterious, ethereal, unforgettable, cozy, sophisticated all at the same time. My husband and daughter both love this too! And every time, I mean every time I wear this someone says, "What is that wonderful smell?"

Like Chanel #5 and #19, Rive Gauche, and others that have stood the test of time, Pink Sugar will remain indefinitely; it's that good. Like those other vintage fumes mentioned above, they have stood the test of time and are not labeled 'old lady' today because their compositions are perfect and because they work well and adjust to all age groups even though they were marketed eons ago. The same with Pink Sugar; it shouldn't be labeled as a Teen or Tween scent because all age groups can wear this one as charlottesmom says so eloquently.

I think if this had a different name other than Pink Sugar, it would be taken more seriously. If it had been marketed by Guerlain for example and given a more exotic name, there wouldn't be age stereotyping of this one.

It's magical and I LOVE it!! Long live Pink Sugar!!

I Love it and I'm 45! if you like a perfume you should wear it regardless of age be you 13 or 85!

On me Pink Sugar is not sweet or childish at all it's just a nice warm spicy vanilla, my husband also loves Pink Sugar on me, it's his favorite.

Perfume is very personal, on some this may smell very sweet and candyish on some warm cozy and spicy, it all depends on your chemistry. Pink Sugar should IMO be tried out before you buy...if you can get ahold of a tester I know that is difficult in some parts of the world.

The perfume in general: 9/10
Sillage: 4 stays very close to the skin (on me) but could be a monster if oversprayed.
Hours percieveable on skin: on me 4-6 hours
Bottle: rollerball 9 unless you drop it on tile, then it's a 1! bottle: 9 nice looking bottle IMO.

A note, I have both the spray and rollerball and I personally think the rollerball is better, warmer and longer lasting on me.

I Love ittttttttttttttttttttttttttt

oh well, i just turned 50 and this is one of my favorite perfumes. it's flirty, fun, sweet and long lasting. i'll be buying my 2nd bottle soon. i'll wear this when i'm 80. there is no age limit on perfumes imo.

If you like pink sugar but it's too sweet and girlish for you, try flowerbomb. it's sweet and light at first, but the drydown is so sexy and warm smelling.

This perfume has grown on me.
Sweet and yummy. It takes me back to playing with my Strawberry Shortcake dolls in the early 1980s and sniffing their scented hair.
It lasts a long time on me too.

Way too sweet for me. It is for young teenage girls. Flirty

Just got this perfume this morning and applied immediately, and my husband came to the room and ask me what is this smell, I can smell chocolate.
Indeed is sweet, but very young and soft. I like the smell, but is not very complex and adult, it's just fun.

Oh, and another person said that it tends to attract compliments from men...that is SOOO true!!! Almost everytime I wear it, my guy friends or even random dudes walking past me tell me I smell delicious ;)

Pink Sugar has alot of memories for me :) I used to wear it every fall/winter time, and I always got compliments on it. But sadly, I am growing out of it. I've had it for 3 years now, so I am getting a little tired of it.
At first, it smells like strong cotton candy. On my skin, it starts to take a slightly sugary-orange scent with warm carmel. It smells delicious, but the dry down is only blah. It's a bit too heavily sweet for a dry down, and it's too musky. It also almost smells like burnt carmel. But, it is a pleasent scent, if you can take the sweetness. For people complaining it's too sweet, it's called Pink SUGAR. This is supposed to be a sweet scent. This is truly for those sweet-scent lovers. Otherwise, I don't recommend it.
And another plus is it lasts all day :)

Smells exactly like the Hard Candy perfume no difference at all. I love them both but if you are little on cash get Hard candy because its is cheaper.

This smells remarkably complex for a sweet, sugary perfume. But it still is sweet enough to give a person cavities! I wore this a lot a couple of years back but now it's gotten to be a bit much. On the plus side, it's got good longevity.

Still, if you love the sweet and complex ones, I recommend this -- as well as Nina Ricci Nina and Vera Wang Princess.

I smelled this perfume long ago in a perfume shop. It smelled of straight sugar cotton candy to me.
Since then it has gained popularity and I have wanted that cute girly bottle with pink bow lines.

I bought a roller ball edition that I had heard smelled stronger with better silage than the bottled perfume. First thing invading my nose is alcoholic cough juice and licorice! Wow very surprised. Where is the cotton candy? Overly sweet, it's makes me a little nauseous.

When it settles down a bit, it smells burnt caramel licorice. No cotton candy for me;(

I guess it's okay but not a scent I would buy again since it is a little boring and licorice or burnt caramel is not my thing.

i think this perfume is not bad, but somehow it is not what i would call a stunning perfume. it was a gift from my grandparents (they bought me the largest bottle). well maybe i just have to get used to it, but now i think that it is really sweet and smells kind of, i don't wanna offend anyone, cheap. not distgusting or something but not really my "style". well maybe my opinion will change when i am wearing it more often.

at the beginning it was too strong for me, but now its better.. a calm and cozy scent..
If its too strong for you I recommend this - only one spray in the air, and then go through the cloud, it makes a big difference..

I have had Pink Sugar for only a short amount of time, and it has already turned yellow! I always thought something about this perfume smelled too unnatural. I googled about Pink Sugar turning yellow, and apparently a lot of people have posted about having this experience. I'm owned many perfumes in my lifetime, some that I still use are more than 5 or 6 years old, and this has never happened to me with any of them! When a perfume turns yellow, it means that it is made with very low quality ingredients. I shudder to think about your body absorbing all those chemicals through your skin!

I'm really sorry to be such a downer about PS! I know what it's like to really love a perfume, really! But I had to post this info. bc being healthy is of course the most important thing!

A fun sweet scent, but is a little better than the rest. Lasts forever. Great for a day at the beach or fairgrounds, not a wedding or a funeral.

This is a fun,joyful fragrance.All i can smell is hot cotton candy, carnivals, caramel,crayons......
It seems to be a opposite sex attractor too. Whenever i wear it, i got compliment from males.
For me, though it's extremely sweet. I felt happy whenever I wore it because it reminds me of my childhood.

i think the burnt smell that people get is because of the licorice...

this one is terrible!!! I dont like it!
too sweet and too heavy.. but very long lasting..

Literally every time I've worn this scent, I've gotten at least one compliment that day about it. Seriously. It might be overpowering for some, but if you like being noticed, this is a great perfume for you. And btw,guys love it.

Smells divine once it reaches the dry down. The first spray smells kinda gross due to the orange, in my opinion. I love eating oranges and drinking orange juice, but I always seem to dislike orange when it's blended as a note in a gourmand perfume. Fresh, zesty summer perfumes = fine. It smells nice in those. But not in Pink Sugar. I understand a lot of people may like that element and that's perfectly fine. For me it just isn't my cup of tea.

Fortunately I don't detect any of that "burnt cookie" aroma a few others have pointed out. It's just the first hour or so of this fragrance that doesn't appeal to me. I want to buy the hair perfume, though. For some reason it smells so much better to me.

I always come back to this fragrance. I feel edible when I wear it. Just one critique from my end - whenever I spray it on my neck I feel sticky afterwards. To avoid this I generally spray it on my clothes, which is a shame. I went through my first bottle last year and I found that it didn't last very long, however second bottle through I am finding that it lasts for hours - strange...

I love this fragrance though - it's for the girls that want to smell like candy and all things sweet!

LONG LASTING MAKES YOU EATABLE I LOVE ALSO MANY PERFUMES BY ORIFLAME SO GOOD SO CHEEP

VANILLA CARAMEL SWEETIES MUSK SO SEXY AND HAPPY

MY ONLY LOVE

This is the perfume when i always get compliments ,people alwayas tell - how great smell its is ! And i agree ,first time when i spary this perfume on me,i dont like,it was too strong and on me lasts forever,but littlebit later after some time..i strat like this sweet perfume !

Too bad that they are not selling in Indonesia... Hiks

It is super sweet and v enticing to men. I do love it when in the mood for it. Some scents you wear for others...you enjoy them but wear them for the reaction or feeling they give you...a costume of sorts. This is one of those for me.

I guess it's my body chemistry but this perfume is awful. Smells too syrupy, chemicals, plastic, burnt cookies.

I will buy it after I'll finish my Pink Sugar Sensual bottle (buying together them is cheaper).
I love the sweetness and it doesn't smell cheap, but its price is so inexpensive here.
But if anyone would like to give away her Pink Sugar, I'd like to own it with pleasure.

I have a love/hate relationship with this. I get several compliments every time I wear it, but sometimes I just feel that it is overly sweet/juvenile for me. I'd rather not have every other person within 20 feet of me say "What smells like cookies?" I think I need something darker with more complexity.

It get's a bad rap. It would be better without the musk.

i fricking love how sweet this smells. if u would like to smell a candy shop this is perfect 4 u

I bought this blind at Winners based on all the great reviews. I don't mind over-the-top scents, especially something that sounds as gluttonous and delicious as this. Unfortunately I really don't like it. I'm actually HOPING that it will grow on me somehow so I won't feel totally bad about buying it.

There's something... boozy about it. It smells similar to a fragrance sample I got at Yves Rocher called "Vanilla Bourbon" that I didn't like either because it literally smelt like alcohol. Maybe it's the licorice note that is irking me too? I definitely smell something "burnt" in there as well. I really don't get the "baked goods" or "cake" or pure sugar smell.

I get a syrupy-sweet girly alcoholic cocktail with a cherry in the glass, that quickly turns in to a flaming sambuca shot.

Beautiful! If you like smelling like sweets, donuts, freshly baked vanilla cookies .. and apart from all that, you want it to last, and last, and last .. anddd to get compliments (from men especially) - then this is the right perfume from you! On me, it's quite a linear fragrance, smells the same the whole time. Sometimes, however smells more "donut-y" than "cookie-like" .. I don't know which I prefer .. recommendation for sure!

I have mixed emotions about this one. It smells like a strawberry milkshake to me which is great at times but its not something I want to smell like all day long. I think this would be best layered with something more earthy to balance out the sweetness.

that well i wish i had a big one!!!!!
to me, pink sugar sometimes i want to eat myself!

I go through phases with Pink Sugar. Sometimes I'm addicted to it and other times it makes me want to puke. But overall, I do like it. I'd say one spray and one spray only. 2 can be too much some times.

I don't agree that this is a fragrance only for teenagers... I think it's perfectly fine for any age. :)

My favorite teacher just started wearing this and it smells so nice on her! Very warm, inviting, and fun! Just like her! The perfume suits her perfectly. :)

I don't like this because of its over-the-top sweetnessand trying-hard attitude.

Love this fragrance,was worried about the strong licorice scent at first spray but then it dies down to a nice sweet vanilla cotton candy. Does not smell burnt at all on me and I recieve alot of compliments:)

I smelled this in the store... it's amazing! Sweet,sugary, cotton candy scented! I want to purchase it very bad!

More of a cold weather scent in my opinion, but I love it. Sweet and angelic and coquettish in the extreme. I don't share the opinion that only teenagers can wear a fragrance like this - flirting is fun at any age, and Pink sugar is flirtation in a bottle.

I am considering ordering this perfume online, ( I live in the uk so I can't test it out) I love sweet sugary candy type smells like fantasy. But can somebody please tell me if this has a burnt smell to it cos if it has I wouldn't like it!

i am on a cloud of cotton candy and caramel! The red berries brings a sweet fruity note to it! Simple:it's sweet like when you go to the fair and smell the cotton candy and candy apple! Wanna ride in the big wheel?Go for pink sugar and it will give you a ride of sweetness!

received my Pink Sugar yesterday. it is super sweet, sugary and reminds me of fantasy by Britney Spears.

Everybody else has said it all! Super fun, sweet as it gets, cotton candy, vanilla, strawberries, just like being at the Calgary Stampede!

Oh yeah, and you can get 'Pink Kisses' at the drugstore for $9.99 and it smells nearly identical. By "Belcam" I believe...

A must for summer fun, but spray and walk through so you don't get a headache or a toothache!

Never wear this to a job interview, unless of course it is at the Fair or somewhere outdoors.

Not to be worn if you want to be taken seriously.

If you have the cash, go for Vanilia or Hanae Mori...

This is a sugary perfume. It smells like strawberry cotton candy. My hubby loves it because it reminds him of the fairgrounds.

It doesn't smell good. When I want a gourmand sweet smelling dessert perfume, I don't think citrus. Alot of times perfumers tend to cut the sweetness with citrus which is what happens here with Aquolina... lemon sugar.... it's not a turn on. Sugar, raspberry, oranges and a very very almost non-existent vanilla note.

This really interesting, u can smell exactly cotton
candy. Im more to floral fruity, never like gourmand.
Heavy & headache. But this one make me feel fun. Ha ha.
More appreciate gourmand now;)

i can not get enough of this stuff. sweet, creamy, vanilla, cotton candy. i am a 40 year old woman and i dont care if anyone else likes this on me or not. i love it. reminds me of childhood, being at the fair eating sticky cotton candy.

I think it's a nice fragrance to give to a young girl like 13,14 it's very sweet and pink,I dont see anyone over the age of 25 using it , not because it's bad but because its such a little girl scent.

Although I am a fan of gourmands, I do not like this one. This smells like straight cotton candy - that's all. Personally, I just find Pink Sugar too obvious - I'd rather not smell like a straight-up ball of sugar. It's not an offensive scent but I do smell this perfume on A LOT of people, so in that sense it feels tired to me.

As many others do, I associate the scent of cotton candy with carnivals and childhood. But cotton candy isn't a particularly appealing scent to me, and it just feels too childish and overdone these days.

I don't find this scent flirty, sexy or really anything else....just kind of bland and sickly. I also agree with others on here that you don't have to be any particular age to enjoy this perfume. But not everyone enjoys smelling like plain ol' cotton candy....and I am one of those people. This scent is just not for me. I DO enjoy PS Sensual, which for me is still very sweet and fun, but less obvious.

Pure sweetness!!! Of course it is an overaction and I don't know why but I love it :) If you don't like sweet stuff don't even think about it...If you like stuff like "Honey & Citron from L'Occitane" or stuff like that...give it a try

Never smelled anything like this in Holland.
It is very sweet and cany like, but the licorice makes me feel like i can wear it at 41.
Didn't really know what to expect from this one, hard to explain but the revieuws were very helpful and made me wanna blind buy.
It gives a happy feel, don't know how others are gonna react but i wear it for me.

I had it when it came out and was quite unknown still and thought the cotton candy smell was great. With time I thought people are looking strangely at me :) And maybe I'm also not in the right age to smell like licorice and caramel. I gave my bottle away and actually quit on gourmand scents as such too.

I have a love-hate relationship with this one. Sometimes I find it too sweet and cloying and it gives me a headache. But sometimes in winter and fall it may be nice.

I ordered this blindly online because of all the good reviews, And also because alot of the notes are generally what I like In a perfume.

It is sweet, yet fresh it's really nice, I get smells of cotton candy sugary and tiny hint of caramel, vanilla comes through now and again which gives it a nice powdery dry down, with fresh bursts of the orange coming through :D :)

This for going out in the day is my favorite time to wear it, If you like sweety smells, this is one to go for. :)

This is a truely gorgeous fragrance, warm & fresh smelling, not at all over powering, reasonable silage, i honestly dont know how anyone can find this an overbearing perfume, its really actually light, yes its certainly "candyish" smelling but in no way cloying or headache inducing, & no its not only for TEENAGERS....im nearly 40 & i love it! ive smelt body sprays stronger than this, theres lots of reviews on this perfume with alsorts of "smell discriptions" alot of which seem far fetched to me, i cant smell liquorice, i dont smell burnt candy i dont smell chocolate or lemon...its just a nice sweet smell altho to be fair i wouldnt wear it quite so much if i lived in the usa as i know its way popular there i live in the uk & its not widely known here, pink sugar is a winner!!

I've been told I smell like the following: 1) baked goods 2) cookie dough 3) cotton candy 4) county fair 5) fried twinkie and 6) edible.

Yes, this smells like burnt sugar and is a very girly, flirty fragrance, so either you love it or hate it.

I love it. I've been told I leave a nice trail, so sillage is very good. Longevity is very good too (but that may also be because I spray it on both my body and my clothes).

Bottom line: if you love smelling like cake, then this one nails it!

I am in love with Pink Sugar, but you gotta watch it when you spritz it on because the fragrance can be very strong and overwhelming. I learned the hard way... -_-

the best review i can give this is that guys like it. not sophisticated guys that know fragrances. it is light and sweet and works to be a good fragrance for an office with men. I love that it is a bit fruity, caramely and then a sugary musky base on me.

I understand why it is so popular, becasue it's exactly all which is trendy nowadays, it's pink , it's sweet , it's foody and regresive .
Who doesn't like the smell of candy floss anyway ? It reminfs you the funfair , the rides ... childhood !
BUT I wouldn't wear it ! I'm too old for that , it would go very well on a perky teenaged girl , or to a little girl as first perfume.

no i don,t find my self with this perfume
no new in fragrance.you smell only sugar and candy
i hate it

I have a love/hate relationship with this perfume, Somedays I can tolerate it and somedays I just cant. It has almost like a burnt smell to it but still I like it. The lasting power is great but dont spray too much because you WILL get a headache

really im in love with this cotton candy bomb, however my fiance alays says that it's very stong and nt sexy but i cant stop it....if u like cottoncandy u'll love it!!

I fell madly in love with this one and wore it everyday for a whole month when I first purchased it. Then a couple days ago I was lounging about at home when a peculiar smell of burnt cookies/cake greeted my nose. Then my mom appeared in sight and a foreboding feeling came over me, 'Is that Pink Sugar?' I asked her, silently praying she'll say no. 'Why yes hun, I took a couple spritzes off your bottle,' she replied. The burnt cookie smell filled the first floor of our home, only beginning to dissipate an hour later...I felt like crying...I hope my co-workers don't hate me...and I hope they really were smiling at me rather than smirking at me. To be fair, I live in a desert-climate and the weather is awfully hot and dry this time of year. This fragrance really is best suited for cool weather or spring, I think you can still get away with it in humid climates where it rains alot, but if you live somewhere where it's as hot and dry as an oven (desert climate), you will smell like a hot piece of blackened, over-baked dessert, atleast for the first couple hours. If you really need to wear this scent in a hot climate, then make sure 1) you spray it on you atleast a couple hours before you leave your room, and make sure 2) there's air-conditioning where you're headed...3) last but not least, to ensure that you have not over-sprayed, have a trusted friend/family member with a good nose sniff you every once in a while, from a distance and up close.
So there you go. I still love this on me but I promise to spray with caution from now on. Better yet, I think I will keep this away until later in the year when the weather gets cooler.

I can't relate to this and can't see myself wearing it even though I like the individual notes very much.

I am disappointed because it is cloying and gives me a headache sometimes. I sometimes find myself getting annoyed if one of my friends is wearing it. I still don't know why :S

Well,I did it! Something I thought Id never do.I actually bought a bottle of a sweet,fruity fume! And,guess what? I love it!!! Yes,even this (OLDER) woman.Gosh,I hate that word! Anyway,the notes r different to my nose than those listed.

Upon first spray,I am met with a powerful brown sugar scent that is wonderfully well blended with Dark bittersweet chocklate.It has the makings for a delicious desert without the calories.It is sweet but not cloying.Then,I catch a scent of juicy red raspberries,just enough fruit to give it some zing!

The drydown I swear is kissed with Patchouli! ^Thats one that brings a smile to this ex hippies face.It is well blended with vanilla to make a really good fume.I love it for the spring.I can just imagine it in the summer! It would b like a big scoop of icecream in a sugar cone,to b eaten in the shade while everyone else is miserable from the heat.

I have been converted to sweet fruity fumes! My only problem was that it didnt last as long as I would have liked.Ill take some unscented lotion,put a few sprays into it,mix and apply b4 I spray the fume on.That usually akes ANY fume last longer.

On me this perfume only smells sweet, I can't smell anything else. Don't like it at all.

I can't really smell this on me but I feel something warm and sweet. This is definitely draws compliments and it is noticeably and strong. Everyone will know that you came in the room and you only need one spritz, and is pretty cheap. When I want to receive compliments I wear this.

I've to add this to my review...I LOVE IT its addictive, really i cant stop sniffing it. It goes to my top 3 thats for sure.

The best i ever had
I love it

Oh my God i love this one...sweet and sexy...i thought it would be fresh but its kinda warm...
I'd like to buy blue sugar, but i'm afraid that it can be too similar to this one...is it?
Can someone help me?
Thanks

Love this one :O)Have finished a 100ml bottle and will repurchase. The notes that are most prevalent on me are the raspberry and licorice - yum and this one brings in the compliments too - gotta love that !!

I probably can not say much about Pink Sugar that has not been said before, except to say that I am far from being a young woman, yet I really like this scent. When I wear Pink Sugar, I am instantly transported back to the State Fair where I am eating a candied apple and sharing some gooey cotton candy with my sister, or I'm in my kitchen baking iced sugar cookies for Christmas. I find that this scent is somewhat linear, comprised of a sweet slightly burnt sugar aroma mixed with caramel, vanilla, orange and licorice. The musk in the base note gives this fragrance a bit of weight and helps to make it last for most of the day on my skin.

Pink Sugar has moderate sillage. The packaging is charming and the price is right. This is not something you will wear every day, but when you want to lift your mood, Pink Sugar can help. My husband says I smell perfectly edible when I wear it, too, which is always a bonus! :)

This perfume is so overrated and over priced...buy the dupe Gale Hayman's Delicious Cotton Candy. Delicious Cotton Candy EDT ($10 for 3 oz.) is so much cheaper and smells sweet (like warm sugar cookies) and leaves a warm sensual vanilla sugar scent lingering behind. To me Pink Sugar Aquolina does not last as long (reminds me of a body splash staying power) and has too much of a fruity smell instead of a warm sugar scent.

I've been so curious to try Pink Sugar for myself after reading so many conflicting reviews about it and I wanted to know whether I would love or hate it! Well, I finally got my chance today when a mini of it arrived in a swap parcel from another member on here. So, I braced myself and gave it a spritz ....

Well, I love it! It's nowhere near as sickeningly sweet as I was fearing I might find it to be. Yes, it's definitely sweet but it's actually light and, interestingly, a little fresh as well (on me anyway)! The longer it's been on my skin the better it's been getting and it's lasted for ages now - 10+ hours.

So, I'd now like to get a big bottle of Pink Sugar for myself which, no doubt, I will do soon'ish. However, I recently got a bottle of Hard Candy "blind" over the internet and they smell almost identical! Hard Candy is just as lovely and cheaper than Pink Sugar too! They're so similar that tomorrow I'm going to test just how similar by wearing Hard Candy on one wrist and Pink Sugar on the other.

Either way, I really like Pink Sugar and it gets an energetic thumbs up from me. :-)

UPDATE: I have done my comparison test of Hard Candy and Pink Sugar and they are both very, very similar to one another. The difference though, for me anyway, is that Hard Candy lasts longer and is a tad fresher and less powdery than Pink Sugar. Other than that though, the similarities are startling! I love 'em both!!

Love at first sniff :) Love this stuff, starts off very sharp but mellows down very quick into a sugary tartness.
Wonderfully strong so you dont need a lot on for it to work its magic. I never want my collection to go empty of this!:)

OMG!!! I have fallen in love with this fragrance. I just bought some today and it is going on 4 hours and I can still smell it on me. The dry down is amazing... very vanilla and sugary cookie! I haven't been around anyone since I have sprayed this so I cannot comment on the sillage, but I know that the lasting power is amazing.

Does anyone know of any other fragrances that smell like Pink Sugar?


EDIT: My fiance came home from work and said this is the best perfume he has ever smelled on me!!! He cannot keep his hands off of me... this is definitely a keeper :o)

The sight and smell of a cotton candy vendor makes my mouth water and has me jumping up and down in my head...I can hardly ever resist treating myself. So this scent, despite being 'childish', synthetic, etc...is definitely a TREAT to the nose (I'm lucky that Pink Sugar is not too well-known in my country). I enjoy wearing it alot! What's really great is this one has mega sillage and extremely impressive lasting power even with just a tiny amount (never more than 3 sprays for me!)...why can't my more expensive fumes have sillage and longevity like this scent?? This scent has a cheering-up-feel-good effect not just on the wearer but on others who gets a whiff of it, it takes us all back to those carefree childhood days! My advice: don't take this scent too seriously...just enjoy it for what it is and you'll be amazed...you'll find out that smelling like a cheap confection is really not a bad thing in this case, the results and the compliments you'll be getting will speak for themselves :D

This opens with the liquorice note on me, which is quite strong and a little unpleasant. However, after a while I can smell caramel and then finally vanilla. At these stages it smells really yummy and lovely.

OKAY,right now i givin my opinion bout this perfume bcoz i already test it out..1st when im sooo excited to try it i spray on my wrist..i can smell caramel mixed with licorice.4 me licorice is overpowering on the top notes but its a good combination with the cotton candy and caramel notes..i basiclly gets those 2 sweet notes when its dry down..it is very999 sweet fragrance.but its not the same like Britney - Fantasy bcoz fantasy got the very sweet intense and its develope so quickly rather than pink sugar.but 4 me pink sugar are more lasting than fantasy..4 those who got fantasy plz give pink sugar a try..its not actually similar,fantasy got fruity intense smell bcoz it gots kiwi and litci as it notes but pink sugar are totally smell like sugar,cupcakes,caramel,chocolate,vanilla,cotton candy..

My friend gave me this perfume as a birthday gift. Oh my...this scent is revolting on my skin...smells like burnt sugar and caramel and not in a good way. I'm not a fan of vanilla, but there are certain vanilla scents that I can tolerate. But Pink Sugar is cloying and nauseating to my nose. Definitely not for me.

PINK SUGAR opens with liquorice: a rich, bitter-sweet aniseed scent that gradually settles into a middle note of candy floss and caramel. Marshmallow is the first word that springs to mind to me.
The drydown is a lingering vanilla, that is lightly wrapped in baby powder.

I can't seperate any of the fruit or floral notes.


Pink Sugar is really long lasting. I wear mine to bed and can still smell it in the morning. For such a sweet fragrance it isn't sickly or cloying, even in hot weather.


I have the large bottle, body mousse & deodorent at home, and the smaller bottle in my handbag. I don't get bored with this fragrance, 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!!


If you like gourmand or oriental vanilla fragrances such as Angel, Fantasy or Princess you need to give this a try!

why some people say it smell like strawberry cotton candy and other`s say its like lemon???i wish it smell like strawberry cupcake with chocolate frosting on top of it;p

I bought this the other day un-sniffed, because it was on special and there was no tester, and the cylindrical packaging was sealed in plastic, so I just bought it, basing my decision on all of the positive reviews.

I thought that I would love this. Truth be told, it wasn't quite what I had anticipated. I sprayed, and it started out sour. I didn't expect that at all. it was lemony. It took some time to go away. That burnt note that some describe in the beginning of pink sugar was there, but to me, it smelled less like burnt sugar and more like stale cigarette smoke. This scent brings up a lot of bad memories for me. This is also the reason why I sadly got rid of cashmere mist, which also had this subtle smell that wouldn't fade. And the same happened here. I gave it some time, I was objective, but the stale cigarette smell wouldn't go away and leave the sugar smell alone! I like the sugar part, but something in there was interfering with it. I'm sad about this, because the rest of the scent was great, but this stale cigs note just got to me. I scrubbed after an hour. All that was left after washing twice was that ciggie note. It just refused to leave this girly scent alone. I'm so disappointed. maybe it's my skin, I don't know. I badly want what you all found in this! it just wasn't meant to be for me.

I'm sorry for the bad review, I don't want to ruin it for anyone, but if anyone wants to buy this un-sniffed, sometimes these reviews, written sparingly, can help because it can help someone to see a bit of variety in reviews. I don't think that any of you who like it are wrong. It just didn't develop so well on me. On someone else it can be lovely. Enjoy it if it works on you:)

The opening of this one is better than Pink Sugar Sensual. It smells like lemony vanilla (I am guessing the orange and/or bergamont smell like lemon to me). I think the "lemon" note is more prominant in the beginning and I like it a lot because it balances out the sweetness perfectly. Later on the citrus notes fade away giving space for the vanilla to blossom. The dry down smells like rich vanilla ice-cream. Very sweet, a lot sweeter than Pink Sugar Sensual.

This fragrance has a lot in common with L de Lolita Lempicka in my opinion. They both display a combination of citrus and vanilla. I find L de Lolita Lempicka a bit more refined and sophisticated though.

I definitively don´t think that sugary scents should be considered teenager´s exclusivity. If I still had my grandma, I´d love to give her a bottle of Pink Sugar! I can even imagine the cosiness of her sweet hugs with this scent!
I simply adore all Aquolina´s perfumes. They´re made without fear of been really sweet, and that´s why they are all so delicious!

its too sweet. you must definitely have the right personality to carry it off. i definitely smell a sharp sweet cotton candy perfume...

Wow ... this is so nice sprayd it one and cant take my nose of it . Smells like Liqoric and vanilla fudge. almost like when you stick your nose in a candy bag ( in a nice way)
It is sweet but not to sweet . it works perfectly i think . this one is a ceaper . love it

Super spicy sweetness! Two slightly less intense dupes for this would be Gale hayman's Delicious Cotton Candy and also Victoria's Secret Pink in Soft and Dreamy! Yummy!

It's kind of bed perfume.. Really sweet, sugary, like for a cute girl lien in bed all day, eating sweets, kissing.

Pink Sugar is a well being scent on cold winter days.It is sweet and a little bit of powdery.It has something in common with Loukhum Eau Poudrée.You can almost taste it in your mouth,it's delicious and long lasting.

I love this fragrance even though when I spay it on, I can detect a weird note. It smells kind of burnt.But don't let that stop you. After it settles down it becomes a lovely cloud of vanilla, cotton candy and something fruity. It's very soft, soothing and delicate. Right now this is my favourite perfume and I think it will stay that way for quite some time ;)

Sometimes there will be days when I'm just not in the mood to use oriental or complex fragrances. That kind of days i will be a pround Pink Sugar Girl living in Candyland.

I love Pink Sugar, is so simple, sweet, fun and care-free, It smells delicious, it's basically cotton candy with a hint of vanilla. L (Fleur de Corail)by Lolita Lempicka, reminds me a lot of Pink Sugar.

The lasting power of this fragrance is superb!!

Is intense but not overpowering, so don't overapply for any reason.

A little goes a long way and when I seldom wear it, I put it on very sparingly. Its extremely youthful and dries down like you would expect, like candy. We all want to be childish sometimes and wearing this is less embarrassing than wearing pigtails.

This is one of the perfumes I wear to work on the regular bases. I especially like to layer it over the body mouse. Yes it sweet but totally non-offensive, not like Angel at all. Besides, I get a kick out of it when someone remarks that I smell like bubble gum or candy. A well done playful, perfume.

C'est certainement le parfum préféré de mon chéri. Et le seul qu'il reconnaisse il est vrai!
Quand on pschitte ce parfum c'est la fête foraine toute entière qui s'invite dans un nuage de barbe-à-papa parsemé de caramel et de vanille. Une touche de réglisse, qui ne me gêne pas . Un sillage particulier, et une tenue d'enfer! Un de mes chouchous.

Bought this perfume online with a very high expectation from all the reviews.

However, I'm highly dissapointed with this one, because this is sweet, YES, this is sickeningly sweet it would give you tooth-ace for sure just by sniffing the cap.
It gives me a pretty bad headache, while I love vanilla scented fragrances, I couldn't tolerate this one.

Maybe I will change my mind in time, but for now I'll be placing this in the drawer and keep it there at least for several months.

i love this perfume too bad my friend hates it every time i walk in wearing this she says your wearing it again(w/ the attitude) and every time she discomplement it ill start putting some more then shell shut up.

I bought this perfume online as i'm from the UK and had read some pretty good review about it regarding its sugary sweetness. I adore sweet perfumes and although I like this it deffinately wasn't quite the caramel candy floss lovelyness that I was expecting. I deffinately do like it though and got it at a good price so wasn't too dissapointed. Maybe its just my skin chemistry but I get a sort of faint sweet baby-powdery scent similar to that of Vivienne Westwoods Naughty Alice when I tried that out, I think on my part the musk was more prominent than I would have liked. If anyone has a fragrance that lives up to the expections of this i'd love to know. The more I smell of Caramel and Cookies the better :)

i finally bought this yesterday. i applied it before bed and this morning i could still smell it faintly. its carmel, its vanilla, its cotton candy and then luscious sweet berries. i love this. i would defintley buy this again. its such a girly perfume.

I bought this online without sampling it based on some of the reviews saying it smelled like cotton candy. I was so excited as I have so many wonderful childhood memories involving cotton candy.

When first sprayed it smells sharply of fig and licorice (sort of like a box of Good 'n Plenty). After about 10 minutes the caramel starts to come through and the licorice isn't quite so sharp. If you like the smell of licorice then this is the perfume for you. If you're looking for a cotton candy/sugar scent this is not it. Definitely not what I was expecting.

Don't get me wrong, this is a very feminine, and yes, "girly" scent, but I had been too discouraged from even testing this fragrance due to all of the reviews which wrote this scent off as being too childish and sweet. However, I finally decided to give it a try, and I was very pleasantly surprised!

This fragrance is the perfect mix of both sugar AND spice, and this successful fusion makes it a very alluring and addictive scent. It also lasts for a long time. So, to people who are skeptical about Aquolina Pink Sugar: give it a try, you just may love it.

I love this fragrcne its the best scent ever in my opinion, i know people say its for a younger girls but i disagree im 38 and wear this everyday i love how warm and sweet it is its makes me feel yummy, Love Pink Sugar...it is just like warm fresh cotton candy that has just been made

This is a fabulous fragrance. This to me, is Lolita Lempicka's cousin. I love the way it goes on AND dries down. I used to have Victoria's Secret Sweet Craving Eau de Parfum Spray (until it leaked everywhere in a bag, woops) and this smells exactly like that. I have tried several vanilla-based fragrances and this by far beats Jessica Simpson's Fancy AND Bath and Body Works Warm Vanilla Sugar. I like my vanilla to be sweet and aromatic and I looove this! This is perfect for Valentine's Day. I'm excited to get my rollerball!

It smells like burnt caramel or when you're making Polvorón. . .


^_^

This was very sweet on me. Too sweet in fact, I gave it to my 8 year old and she loves it. I would consider this a fun & playful scent. I don't think it is mature or sexy at all.

i can't wait to get this. i think i'm going to love it. i love these type of fragrances put on lightly, for weekend casual wear.

A friend of mine is in love with this perfume and the smell reminds me of her. Its not unpleasant but i would never call it sophisticated. I would purchase this sent if it came in the form of a bath bomb or soy wax melt for an oil burner, something like that, but i don’t necessarily want in on me.

On me, it drys down very fast and ends up just smelling like caramel sauce for hours.I must give it credit for staying power though.

Give it a go, you never know, it may work for you. If you find you can’t stand it just give it to your nearest tween-age girl, she’ll love you forever.

I will have to say this perfume has no specific "age group" as my mother who is in her 60's had this and I smelled it on her and loved it so I had to buy myself a bottle. On me this smells like caramel, cotton candy and vanilla. It is also a super long lasting fragrance on my skin. I can put this on at 7am and still smell it at 11pm when I go to bed like I just put it on. When I wake up the next morning it is still there! I get alot of compliments when I wear this. I think it is really yummy!

First of all, before you buy this scent, go into a store and TEST it out. Everyone's body chemistry is different. This isn't a scent to buy blind!

Second, this is no little girl's scent when I'm wearing it! It starts out citrusy, for a few minutes and then the floral notes come out to play. The citrus fades away and the red fruit comes out to mix with the florals turning it into a wonderful and sweet scent. Everything blends together so well that I can't even describe what it smells like, but it's delicious! The cotton candy finally comes out on top of the scent, but that doesn't make it any less beautiful, it still smells like something a strong, powerful, sexy woman would wear. Eventually the floral scent becomes kinda powdery. The powder, red fruit, and cotton candy is such a lovely scent. It's not overpowering to me at all.

Cotton Candy is my favorite scent, and normally I would mind it being mixed with other things... not this time! This scent is now my signature scent. I've got severe allergies, and it doesn't cause me any problems with them. I'm so happy with Pink Sugar! No burnt notes for me, it's not so sweet it's sickening, it's just incredibly beautiful. I expect my man to pull me into his arms and take a good long sniff when he smells me wearing this!

If you don't do a test sniff, and don't like it, try just dabbing a little on. Or try it at a different time. Your body chemistry changes at different times. This scent is worth a second chance. And if all else fails? You could give it to someone else. There are plenty of pink sugar lovers out there. I'd be happy to give any unwanted bottles a home. ;D

Caramel, vanilla.. I've got a headache. Very strong scent. Yes its sweet, but i think this is too much..

What's with the reviews not showing up?!?

Love Pink Sugar and I'm 44! The husband also loves it...

***short and sweet incase this review dosn't show up yet again...

This is a toothache in a bottle. It smells too sweet. Too much of anything is never good. I can't bring myself to put this on me. Even the tiniest squirt makes me feel nauseated.

I’m definitely on the *love* side of this Pink Sugar fence. I almost think Hard Candy and Pink Sugar should go out and graffiti the town with sugar, licorice, and spice together, they are so much alike it’s crazy! Well I’m a bit surprised at just how cool this scent is, and I suppose aside from Gayle’s Delicious, Pink Sugar broke many molds. At least as I remember it! I’ve never thought perfume should always be refined, sophisticated, or elegant. Pink Sugar is without a doubt none of those things, and that’s why it rocks! It’s fun, naïve, obnoxious, alive, gorgeous and quite loud! I love it! I don’t think it’s too overly sweet either, and I love the black licorice accord. It’s like being at a carnival to my nose really and truly; I’ve always thought I smelled buttery or burnt popcorn, cotton candy, caramel apples, and licorice in this scent. Woohoo!

Ahhhhh...
A fragrance with the charm of Carnival Rides
.....and "Cotton Candy".!!!!

I like wearing it to bed...
"Sweet dreams"

but it's the compliments I get
from guys and girls...

That's what keeps me wearing it...

I love this fragrance but it smell wears off quickly

smells like merry-go-round and cotton candy.
reminds me of childhood memories!

I think when people say its to sweet i always tell myself in my mind no this perfume is great with sweet and spicy attracted senses love it<3

Never ever thought I would like this, let alone buy it!

BUT I CAVED.

I hesitated for so long to really test this, but now that I have given it a fair try... I love it on me. Burnt sugar, berries, vanilla, powdery cotton candy, carmel & spices. Got a 1.7 oz for a good deal! My first purchase of 2011.

I guess I turned my nose up at it for soooo long because it's way too popular and I didn't want to smell like everyone else.... or smell like a 10 yr old.

But on me Pink Sugar is a creamy vanilla dream.
Reminds me of the sweetness of Hard Candy, which I also love, but not as spicy or tart in the opening. It also has a powdery floral feel to it like Demeter Sugar Cookie which I enjoy.

This has become a new favorite! A must have for the sweet lover :o)

Occasionally, I do feel some nostalgia for my youth whenever I wear it though. It reminds me sometimes of the way my Strawberry Shortcake doll's hair smelled, minus the plastic! LOL

Regardless, I think Pink Sugar is ageless.
From 0-100+ will enjoy it! So please do!

I requested it and got it as a gift today. It's very sweet with spices underneath. I like sweet and spicy but I think I'm going to layer this one with Provonce L'Occitane Labdanum, which has a masculine flair so the two should ideally marry well.

For some reason Aquolina PINK SUGAR smells like coffee-tinged cotton candy to me. I was expecting cotton candy, but the licorice in this composition smells initially rather like the residue at the bottom of an empty cup of coffee. Unfortunately, as this fragrance dries down, it becomes somewhat annoying to me, smelling more and more synthetic, like cheap candy that's bursting with artificial flavors. I'm not opposed in principle to gourmand licorice fragrances, but, as all black licorice connoisseurs know well, there's a world of difference between Panda and Twizzlers.

I did not expect to love PINK SUGAR, but I don't even really like it and will not wear it again--not even to finish up the remaining 1.5ml in my sample vial. Désolée.

***
Update: PINK SUGAR conforms fully to Murphy's Law of Longevity. After three scrubs, with three different soaps and copious ablution, the smell still lingers on...and on... So it looks as though this liquid will be joining INSOLENCE in the Nuclear Holocaust-ready Fragrance Hall of Fame.

sweetnspicey: You're right, but i think this is the reason why a lot of women love this fragrance. My sister has this one and i recognized what you mentioned. I did not like it too much for the first time, probably becouse like you, i expected something very sweet. No offense, yeah, it's sweet, but.. not in a "sugary way". But i like it now, far from my favourite women fragrance, but it's kind of unique in it's own way.

I really dislike this perfume. I was expecting something sweet, clean, fruity, and pleasant, but it smells like sugar that is so burnt that nobody would want to eat it. Throw in some nauseating powdery musk and a piece of black licorice, and voila! You've created a revolting fragrance.

the first burst is juicy sugary sweet, the licorice is really strong in the middlenote, but is sooooo heavenly nice blendet with cotton candy and white lily of the valley. the sweet-sour red berries well noticable in the background. all in all the notes are a perfect cream-sugary composition. this is not a girlie-scent at all, yes it could be one but mature woman can wear it easely and without regrets.
I'm in my 40's and i do not like those nowdays very popular simple candylike girlie scents. but this one is rich and opulent, sweet, sexy and musky. love it! it stays on hair and clothes for days. very nice bottle tough.

everybody loves it and especially men love it its so sexy and i also got the hair perfume mmmmmh amazing wherever i go they say who smells so good and its me pink sugar is the best

It smells better as the roll on fragrance than as the sprayperfume, I dont know why,maybe because it smells softer as rollon. I like the sprayperfume to but it is a bit to strong so as rollon it works perfectly =)

I was just wandering around Ulta spraying different perfumes on those tester sticks they have. I know to really "get" a scent it is better to spray on skin but...I just wanted to get the general idea of a few. I literally hated everything I was spraying even some I thought I liked last time I did this. Everything seemed too flowery or perfumey. Pink Sugar however always smells good to me. It is the only one my husband ever likes when I drag him to Ulta too. I had a small bottle a few years ago and used it up...I need to get this again. It can definitely be way too much if it is sprayed with a heavy hand, and it is easily recognizable. I am not in love with everyone knowing what perfume I am wearing but I still think this is super pretty and yummy if it is sprayed lightly once and if your skin wears vanilla and sugar scents well. I sprayed it lightly on one wrist and I have been very happy sniffing it again. Pink sugar starts a little fruity from those red berries and there may be a little licorice scent in there but it doesn't really stand out too much on my skin. It is warm and sugary vanilla with a bit of cotton candy. LOVE IT!

i was so stupid to buy it unsniffed...luckily i only got a small tester from the Net, or i'd be really regreted.
with all those "love"s and "like"s...i thought this would be a great fragrance, and because of the cute pink bottle, i ordered it online. right after it had arrived, i tested it.
"OH NO", this is the first words i said after i wore it. all i can smell is heavy vanila, not the ice-cream taste but the food additives, like the vanila extract used to add in cookies. smell strange and obviously too strong.
luckily i got other testers at the same time, so i can wear other to cover the weird smell!
i'd better do it now....strange vanila smell is lingering around my waist...S***!

its my 3rd review for PINK SUGAR .. every time i wear it somthing pushes me to review it over again ..

Pink Sugar, in case you couldn’t guess by the name, is geared towards a relatively young market, and promises to “take you on a journey through the pleasures and flavors of childhood with a playful blend of vanilla and caramel”. Other notes include bergamot, Sicilian orange, raspberry, fig leaves, lily of the valley, licorice, strawberry, red fruit,cotton candy, musk, sandalwoood tonka bean and powdery notes.

Pink Sugar opens on an extraordinarily sweet blend of fruit and caramelized sugar. There is a hint of citrus, but the red berries dominate the first 15 minutes or so. if you love the smell of strawberry candy, the top notes may well be your idea of heaven; as the berry notes fade. It is still sweet, but not quite so sweet. There is lots of vanilla sugar, a teensy little whiff of licorice, and a pale, woody-musky base with a hint of powder. It is, as advertised, very reminiscent of cotton candy.

the early dry down is approachable .. a rather odd burned smell — may be um crazy but its pleasant aroma of just-torched crème brûlée as french say :) , something closer to cotton candy that has caught on fire and sizzled down
I’m very much in the majority that loving Pink Sugar..it is the one of most reviewed fragrances, most reviewers said they would buy it again. If you love sweet sugary scents, it might be just the ticket.
the lasting power is good. It is also available in shimmering perfume roll-on, and a plethora of matching body products including body lotion, body mousse, perfumed sugar bath & deodorant spray.

This perfume reminds me of the happiest place on earth - Disneyland. To me, it smells just like it!

This is my guilty pleasure. I only use the hair perfume and I love it!

I really dont like this fragrance... theres something synthetic and alcoholy about it and it smells like prewrapped expired cotton candy with some old black licorice. I love Aqua E Zucchero by Profumum though, its a dead on cotton candy with berry and vanilla and is gorgeous... of course the price reflects that, which will make many pick pink sugar over it. Sigh, I am so tired of smelling this on people and every idiot department store salesperson sends you in this direction if you are looking for a gourmand or foody scent- that is after you explain to them what "gourmand" means. I got a sample of pink sugar to compare with aqua e zucchero, and my male roommate completely agreed with my assessment after smelling both- on 2 different occasions.

An old art teacher of mine explained that anything that produces a strong emotion is art, so I guess it fits THAT description, but this is just... cheap :/ sorry to all the ps fans- not for my nose.

As a side note, I really enjoy the fragrance of the pink sugar body products, and find them to lack the anise note. I also recently got blue sugar, and it does smell like a darker version of this and i prefer that. This one just didn't work as an edt on me.

Loved it at first but then got this sick artificial sticky sweet vibe off of it. Tooooo much candy ........

Licorice and vanilla from the beginning till the end! This smells exactly like licorice ice cream which is really yummy. Weirdly, I don't get any burnt sugar, caramel or cotton candy notes. Because of this, Pink Sugar isn't really that sweet on my skin which is a good thing.

I like this but it's quite one-dimensional because all I can smell is licorice and vanilla. I prefer Lolita Lempicka because it's a lot more complex licorice perfume compared to this. Staying power is good for EDT. It becomes very soft and round after 30 minutes but I can smell it on my skin even after 4 hours or so. And of course the price is pretty great!

Me Han Dicho Que Huelen Muy Bien Pero Los Pudeo Encontrar En Cualquier Lado ;D???

I'm not going to lie, and I'm not going to make a long story out of this: "Pink Sugar" is like a security-blanket for me. It's as simple as that. When the world gets too much and I want to go back to being a child again, I marinade myself and the coziest blanket I can find in this scent, and just lay there, smelling the sweetness and daydreaming all the stressful things away.

I have over 30 fragrance collections. Aquolina Pink Sugar was first to be ever returned and disgusted me. At first the strong alcohol smell doesn't allow me the top notes. Few minutes later when the alcohol evaporates, unfortunately the licorice strongly stands out (this of course may due to my chemistry though, considering I read people's comments saying they detect brunt sugar or candy cotton) The licorice lasts forever and when that settles down there's a distinct barbie doll plastic smell left. I understand people defer from one to another, BUT seriously you'd pay (for all those who're saying that they like the price of PS), to smell cheap?
if licorice is not your cup of ceffee STAY AWAY !

- My first time ever posting hate comments

The most interesting thing about this perfume may be the passion it generates. It would be hard to find another perfume on Fragrantica that has as many long emotional reviews. I'm not going to waste time reiterating what it smells like--burnt sugar with lots of vanilla and a smooth floral undernote covers that. I will say that of my many perfumes that people like and comment on, this one produces giggly compliments with exclamation points from most men who smell it. I wonder how many of the negative comments are quite simply either snobbishness or embarrassment that something so simple could bring so much pleasure?

amazing i love it the best so far and i tryed soooooo many the best sweet like a candy shop whenever i wear it everybody is like who smells sooooooo good?and its always me with pink sugar

If you want a fragrance that smells like sweet sugar cookies - without that dreadful licorice note that ruins Pink Sugar - Delicious Cotton Candy ( Gale Heyman or Hayman ) hits the spot. Even though DCC lists licorice as one of its notes, too, my nose doesn't detect it. Whereas, with PS, the licorice note is so pronounced that it turns PS from a sweet, sugary fragrance into something more herbal-like. Both fragrances are equal in strength and lasting power, about what you'd expect from an EDT. I paid about $4.00-$5.00 less for DCC than I did for PS, same size bottles
( I purchase all my fragrances online and shop around for the sites with the best deals at the given moment ).

Great perfume, great price, men love it - not just for young women, I would say for everyone - love the caramel component very much.

Pink Sugar can be described exactly like the title. The girly scent opens with a strong sweet sugar smell, with berries, licorice, and orange. I love this perfume, it smells very delectable!
Perfect for those 13-25 I think.
Great for young teens and adults who want to reminisce their childhood and indulge in a great scent!

I have this again and I love it. Yes it is very sweet at first but then develops very surprising into caramel and cream sweetnees and just the right amount of souriness from the fruits. It is a better version of Escada Magnetism in my opinion, but this is a perfume that you need to test on clean skin and have the patience to let it settle for half an hour. Of course, it is also longlasting and I always receive compliments on how good I smell, one of my favourites. BTU, my 100 new bottle will last me for a looong time.Price is excellent also!!!

A fun scent for the younger crowd (13-17) that like straight up cotton candy , sugar smells. But for more mature tastes or even those that are borderline mature and still like light florals and some fruity scents I don't think this scent would be a wise choice. Overdo it and you smell like burnt cookies (a note that is rather strong).

I used to like pink sugar, but I got sick of its lack of staying power. No joke, Id have to reapply it every couple hours just to keep on smelling it and im not about to keep on doing that! if it came in an elixer form or at least eau de parfum maybe id be willing to buy it again. The top notes are prob my favorite but they die down in literally under 5 minutes.

How does it do that? Makes you feel so goood!! It's a fun scent to wear. Love the bottle. On me the dry down is a warm cozy drop of musk in a pool of vanilla flavored cotton candy. Just beautiful! By the way, I too am 43.

NOTHING LIKE ITS NAME!! From the notes and the customer reviews, I wanted and expected primarily a really sugary sweet, vanilla, caramel fragrance with a hint of fruity. WRONG!! To my nose, it smells herbal ... and weak, no staying power ( but, in this case, I couldn't care less because I'm throwing it away, that's how much I dislike this fragrance ). There's $22.00 down the drain!

Yummy! This is a brilliant gourmand fragrance, it's the perfect vanilla. The staying power is great too! Reminds me of fancy but more intense and lasts longer, highly recommended.

The only perfume, which smell was mentioned by my friend ("Something smells like there wa cookie."), after 8 hours at school :) Simply love it!

This is one of the most unpretentious fragrances I've ever come across. Pink Sugar is simply just PINK SUGAR. It is about as 'synthetic' as preservative filled, store-brought-candy itself. Brings about oddly pleasurable sensations of being buried under a ton of pink fluffy cotton candy...I love burnt sugar notes and it is in abundance here.

At first spray, I get fruity notes, citrus and berries, then just a short while later it gets sweeter and cotton candy is the most dominant note I smell in the heart, this is the most long lasting and strongest phase on me, yumm, finally the dry-down is a beautiful powdery caramel-vanilla-musk that lingers and lingers...It's very strong, and amazingly long-lasting for an EDT too.

This on my skin lasted alot longer than most of the perfumes I own, and lasted longer than all the other sweet foody scents I've ever tried. The fat sugar-addict kid in me is going gaga! A favorite guilty pleasure.

Just take care to use in sparing amounts, especially in warmer weather, it can indeed be cloying and headache inducing! I can't wait to get it with the other products under the Pink Sugar line :) Not a daily scent for me, more for those days when I find myself craving for some fun and frolic (and candy :p ). Though right now I can't resist having it on me as often as I can lol.
Thanks for the sample Rou!

Honestly , i coudn't see the point of bashing the respected Melancholy Child member by the so-called jennisaurusrex.

He is completely entitled as we all are, to express his feelings & personal opinions about any given perfume or whatever he may like .

& even if u don't really care about his likings or dislikings , i personally do care & i bet u , alot of others do as well.
& by the way he was extremely polite in his 1st reviews of this perfume & also when he replied to ur bashing & apparently hateful comment .

i wonder, what are all that rage & the use of such language for ?

Do we have to oppress other's opinions & personal reviews so that our's could shine up ?

Pink Sugar is a Girlish sweet Barbie of a scent with the opening of a plastic synthtic Opening but dries down a bit
with the note of red berries and a scent
of srawberries reminiscent of those Kitchy 80's Strawberry Shortcake dolls
the bergamot is hard to dectect from
the dominace of the unhealhy Foods that
people should eat sparingly Candy!
then it dries to an cloyish note of pink cotton Candy and black Licorice
and the drydown of caramel makes it
a Plastic pink candy Barbie doll carnival wonderland amusment park that is that can be overwhelming and sometimes makes your teeth rot if you use it too much.

Anahi. I think you would love Pink Sugar. All the perfumes you mentioned I think Pink Sugar is the best of all. I would suggest getting it on ebay. I personally love Pink Sugar. It is a soft, fun and nice cotton candy smell, really lovely.

Pink sugar sounds deliciousoo, and I wanna get it online, but I'm afraid I may purchase it and end up not liking it, seeing as they don't have it here in London. i really like scents along the lines of Britney Spears Fantasy, Paris Hilton Can Can, Jessica Simpson Fancy, Avril Lavigne Black Star; they're somewhat a lil fruity yet really sweet...so would anyone recommend I get it?

This is the most outrageous scent in the world! Plastic, sugar, toxines and nuclear garbage. If you want to kill somebody, just take Pink Sugar, it will work perfectly!

well, you'll never believe this!! Hathor, well known for perfume snobbery, and rather classical tastes, also known for hating sickly pink goo and getting stomach heaves from Miss Dior Cherie and Angel, bought this in a mad moment on holiday in Italy. Of course i know it's pure gunk, but it's got something!!! it's a "feel good smell", rather like you have feel-good films or books, which don't have much intellectual substance but make you feel happy and glad to be alive. my BF said it smelt like a cheap pudding out of a packet, and asked me why i needed a 2cv when i have a garage full of Ferraris (metaphorically speaking, he means why do i want something cheap and cheerful when i've got so many very expensive and special perfumes) well, if this perfume is a car it's a Barbie Pink metallic Fiat 500 (new model). cute, fun and very italian. It's a perfume for an evening walk along the seaside boulevard in my favourite holiday town on the Tuscan coast. only you'd smell the cloud of sugar, turn round expecting to see a 16 year old in a mini skirt and be surprised to find somebody not far short of 50 and built like a brick-layer!! This suits my (quite rare) carefree and frivolous moods, and moments when you need a bit of comforting sweetness. funnily enough i don't find it sickly sweet at all. it has darker undertones beneath. Yes, definitely yes!! and that's the nice thing about perfumes, you can sometimes surprise yourself by buying and liking something completely out of character.

This smells like a very slightly overbaked sugar cookie sprinkled with doll hair. May be ok in small doses on a cold and blustery day. I'm afraid if I tried it in the summer I would attract yellowjackets.

cotton candy..cotton candy..cotton candy...maybe vanilla? sweet like candy. that is how it smell like.

opening is sharp a bit citrus..then became sweeter & sweeter & sweeter..love this !!

oh this is my 1st fragrance i ever bought..its like love at first smell...

edit: oohh i really love this scent so much..can't live without it.

While I have had this fragrance for at least 2 years, I can honestly say that I only really discovered the true masterpiece within it yesterday.

In the past, when choosing a fragrance to wear for the day, I found myself never even considering it an option to wear simply because of that burnt smell(that same note that others have mentioned as well). And it is that note that kept me shying away from it for so long. From the bottle, I find the burnt note smell much more potent than once I put it on my skin, and let's face it, who really wants to smell like anything burnt? For myself, that was the real difference, as on skin, Pink Sugar transforms into the most sweet, caramelly, desert-like WEARABLE concoction I've ever smelt in my life.

It opens with orangey-smelling notes, with lots of licorice and red berries and tons of caramel, sugar, and vanilla.
As it dries down, it becomes less sweet, and the berry note starts to fade, and the orangey notes are no longer detectable at all.
Then, the licorice fades more, and I am left with the most scrumptious combination of vanilla, caramel, and light powdery-like notes ever to touch my skin. It is sooo delicious, one could almost eat it.

In my opinion, this perfume is great for any woman, of any age, as it's much more complex than meets the eye. It's not straight cotton candy as one might assume or think. I can't believe it took me SOOO long to discover it's true beauty. I love and adore it, and it is by FAR one of my favorite scents EVER. Look deeper, and you, too, may smell more than meets the eye, or nose!

...I'm so glad that hantafromsanta below wrote it down for me...exactly
As for some pointers, I myself stay with Hayman's Hollywood and Casmir for sweetness.

I love Pink Sugar. It is fun and sweet. I can imagine not everybody likes Pink Sugar, because it is so sweet, the funny thing is, I normally hate sweet scents, this is the only sweet perfume I like.

When you first spray it on, you will get hungry from all the nice gourmand notes you smell.......just yummie, then when the topnotes dissapear, it settles down to a nice, soft and sweet "vanilla" kinda fragrance. It stays with you a very long time, so no need to overdo it.

A lot of people are talking about a "burned" smell, but I honoustly cannot understand what they are talking about ? I don't smell burned sugar. I find Pink Sugar soft and cozy.

I also understand people say it is for teenagers, but I have to disagree..........every woman from every age can wear this. I am 35 and get a lot of compliments about this perfume...........

I just bought a new BIG 100 ml bottle, because I don't want to be out of this "beauty".

think of this as if you were melting sugar and it got a little burned and you dropped some kind of a plastic thing in it and it melted with the sugar that's how it smells like(sugar with plastic)

I love vanilla fragrances, but this one is too sweet for me. I don't find anything that great about it. It's not very complex, all I smell is burnt sugar.

Oh my, I wasn't prepared for this. My tolerance for sweetness is very high, but the problem here seems to be that this offers me a whole new definition of the word artifical.

I get a lot of very burnt sugar in here, and well if truth be told, this sugar burned in hell - along with some licorice candy that was still in its little plastic baggie.

This comes out soo sharp and almost brutal, it's not richness or sweetness overpowering me here, it's.. this incredible plastic harshness.
Aaah, so sad! D:
So many people seem to love it that I might just doubt if my nose is ok, haha.

It gets more caramelly and softer in the drydown, after several hours, but I still find it very unpleasant in total. :/
I am really glad for everyone who loves and likes it and who it works for,
however I'll just stick to Jessica Simpson Fancy for supersweet and yummy, comforting scents.

sweet,but not too sweet youthful fragrance.long lasting tho.its one of my 3 favourites along with Escada Pacific Paradise.It smells like pink cotton candy with touch of liquorice

Have you ever had one of those crazy love/hate relationships where it was facinating and irresistible but in the end the two of you were just not good for each other? That's pink sugar & I.

I hate it. No, I love it. No, maybe? Aahhh!

It smells a bit like burnt sugar to me at first which definitely puts me off but then it transforms into a warm cotton candy scent with a bit of mouthwatering citrus which I should hate because I don't really like gourmand and it's SO sweet but I LIKE it.

I don't want to like it, but I do. So then I decide, hey, I like it. Then I realize I can't wear it because it's too young/innocent and sweet for me to pull it off, so then I hate it again.

You see how it makes me crazy?

It's a young, cute, flirty, ultra girly, very sugary scent and if you can pull it off, go for it!

Even if this isn't my cup of tea, I do recognize this is quite a nice scent. Youthful, SWEET, a reminiscent of cotton candy machines and candy shops... Either you like it or you don't, there's no going in between with this one.

When I smelled this I was in HEAVEN. I'm just obsessed with sweet sugary scents. I actually like this one more than Fantasy because that one has more fruit notes in it whereas Pink Sugar is just raw cotton candy, warm baked goods, and all that good stuff.

I first smelled this in the bottle and i'm not going to lie- it smelled amazing! So I sprayed it on my wrist but unfortunatly with my body chemistry one of the notes stood out far greater than the others- The licorice. Which made me put down Pink Sugar because I despise the scent of licorice. It's a shame that note was so strong. :/

I smell mostly caramel. Of course, the burst of luminous orange, creamy licorice, raspberry and "fizzy" fig leaf,- all wrapped in pink cotton candy is lovely. But the dominating note all over, to my nose, still remains the caramel.And fortunately, I can smell very very little red berries. Noses are diffrent, I guess.


I love this perfume.

As sweet gourmands go this is my most favorite for summer. I first introduced myself to this via the Pink Sugar Hairspray. It was a new way for me to wear fragrance made especially for hair and I was asked what fragrance I was wearing. I received a sample in a lot sale thru Ebay and went on to buy the full size EDT as it is just as nice as the hairspray. It appears as if it is going to be a very light, non-lingering fragrance so I can see why it would be tempting to overspray but if you think 'light as spun-sugar' you may just be able to resist and see that it may easily last 4-6 hrs. It did for me.

Disgusting. The description made me think of delicious raspberries, but the name of the perfume says it all. It smells of sugar. Nothing more, nothing less. Horridly cloying, headache-inducing. I don't understand the popularity of this scent. It's terrible.

If I can sum up in some words based on my experience:

- You want to feel like young girl again, this is the perfume.
- Licorice and cotton candy scents are so strong. It's not overpowering and long lasting.
- Attracts people's attention, especially when you're in air conditioned room. Your scent will be noticed! That's why it's perfect for daily wear, especially in the winter.
- Don't spray too much!
- Before garnishing with Pink Sugar, I lotion my hands with Bath&Body Works' coconut lime verbena. I don't know why, but it does work on me and give such fresh feeling.
- Reasonable price for such fantastic sweet scent.

This is my all time favorite perfume! It's sweet, spunky, and oh so innocent. Every time I wear this, I get compliments. This has reigned as my holy grail scent out of my entire collection. It's wonderfully crafted, the vanilla peaking through the musk and sugar!

I find this scent to be positively vile. It's just too sweet, and that's coming from someone who enjoys sweet scents. It's the gourmand aspect that throws me. That and that it smells like something you'd buy for your niece at Toys R Us. Just icky.

Finally, this is the perfume that works for me best! Love it for daily wear and you can really notice COTTON CANDY SUGARY LICORICE FRUITY scents. Nothing else but lovely sweet girly fragrance. At first it smells too strong but after 30 minutes it stays warm, deep with wonderful feeling. I got lots of attention by people around asking me what perfume I wear cause it's sweet but not overpowering, it's just perfect!

I love to wear this perfume occasionaly, when I want to feel very girly and flirty! Makes me happy! And I now everyone is trying to figure out what I'm wearing. Really like it.

Woah! This was so strange; I bought this fragrance while I was in the US, but when I came home, I couldn't find it anywhere!!! No trace, nothing. I was starting to think I left it in the hotel-room, which I actually checked very carefully. This evening, after my graduation ceremony, I took the bag of my heels (which I also bought during my trip) and noticed there was something else in it. And TAH-DAH! The white/pink striped box was there! I am SO happy! I opened and used it right away:

the opening has this really floral fruity gourmand smell, and if I sniff with my nose a few centimeters from my skin, I still smell that: vanilla, candy-floss, some orange/bergamot/raspberry... the things I like. But if I touch my skin with my nose and inhale: LA-LA-LICORICEEEEE. For me that isn't really a plus, but if you like licorice, you'll be happy. Then after 10 minutes or so, the licorice fades a little and goes slowly the way I want it to: caramel.

It is a supersweet fragrance... I hope I will be fun and girly enough when I'll be older so I could still wear it :)

I loved this when I was younger. Sickening fruity gourmand on some but on me it bypassed the fruity notes and smelled like a rich chocolaty brownie. The dry down is very much cotton candy. Test before you buy, and if this works for you, it's a decent inexpensive frag. No longer to my tastes as it lacks any sort of edge or haunting beauty.

I really like it, but I would't wear it - it's not my type of fragrences...
Pink Sugar is so warm and sugary - delicious caramel is very strong. Very sweet and feminine scent:)

Once again I just don't get it! Why would anyone want to smell like this? As sweet as saccharin and just as artificial. I think this is how TinkerBell must smell and she's not real either. I like REAL perfume but I guess the trend is gourmands.I'll keep wearing my spicy/oriental Youth Dew (which I know many people hate) but I keep getting compliments on how good I smell from men and women so that's reason enough for me to keep wearing it. MAY I NEVER SMELL LIKE VANILLA OR SUGAR!!!

I finally gave into this tasty fragrance!! I LOVE it!!! Its sweet berries & cotton candy!! Nxt to Flowerbomb and Fantasy, Pink Sugar is the best gourmand scent out there!! I actually like the burn note to it! It gives it some wonderful warmth!! Bravo Aquolina!! Im dying to try Pink Sugar Sensual!! : )

I was so so expecting this frag as of all these praises, and it arrived today, but... I´m so much disappointed:((( It is nothing but chemical artificial something that I cannot name "parfum". Sorry to all admireres, I want to like this but I can´t. Still my favourite vanilla frag: Hypnotic Poison of Dior and CSP: Vanilla Extreme...

I can't help it – I like this. I like it a lot. I know I shouldn't (I'm a 50-year old woman for goodness sakes), but I'm really kind of smitten with this girly, pink confection. Not entirely surprising though, I get unreasonably excited at the sight of a cotton candy vendor.

When my 14 year-old daughter first smelled this on me she said “what's that called, My First Perfume?” Even she (presumably the target market) found it juvenille. I endure her rolling eyes and wear it anyway. Makes me happy in spite of myself.

I love the sugary sweetness and powdery softness of Pink Sugar. The zesty top notes that fade into a a sugary caramel-vanilla softness. It's playful and cute, very girlish and absolutely irresistible. I wear this whenever I want to smell something delicious and "easy", something that makes me happy in an instant.

I finally got a bottle of this. This was a blind buy as I couldnt find it where I live to test it first.
The opening on my skin smelled very similar to L de Lolita Lempicka-what a surprise! (I love L by the way). The dry down is different though. It is hard to decribe but to me it smells like those sweet-scented erasers I had in my childhood+vanilla+burnt sugar. You know those erasers which look edible and colourful and have that sweet rubbery smell? (well maybe some of you will know what I am talking about!). Just tried it for the first time today, will update if I detect something else. Personally, I expected something much sweeter seeing all these reviews here. It is sweet, but not overly and settled down to be quite soft.

EDIT: My opinion didn't change-it still smells like erasers to me LOL. A very funny smell, yet I like it for some reason. It is cute.
I love the opening, I wish it would last longer-you can smell liquorice and this amazing burnt sugar then....
Strong? What are you people talking about? Maybe Im immune, but although it lasts quite long it is strong only during the first 5mins, then it becomes very soft, even hardly noticeable. It is a scent for yourself not for others.

SUGAR , sugar , sugar ,sugar and mooore sugar I ADORE IT , one of the most magnificent perfumes i've ever had, its so feminine ,sweet, joyful , interesting and attractive , u cant miss the raspberry note at the 1st sniff sweet sugary raspberry then the candyfloss widely spread in awhile makes u go in sweet cloud , extreme sweet sugar with a fresh fruity note , its wonderful bouquet ended with amazing base makes u dreaming with that chocolate , musk and vanilla notes ,very delicious mix could make the others eat u !!

I haven't worn this in a while. It's a toothache in a bottle. But it's a delicious scent that I want to eat.
It reminds me of a cotton candy machine, when the machine over heats and the sugar smells slightly burnt.
I have to be in a certain mood to wear Pink Sugar. A young, playful, not at all serious mood.

I haven't been able to get this fragrance out of my mind. It is like a scent from childhood you want to try and recapture and hold close to your heart. Come to think of it, it kind of reminds me of those strawberry scented "scratch and sniff" glittery stickers we used to trade as young children. LOL! I tried it again on Friday but this time on my skin. At first I noticed the burnt rubber smell as mentioned by some reviewers, but luckily that went away very quickly and all that was left was a soft lingering sugary smell. Not as overpowering as I thought it would be. Just lovely. Got to have it!

When I wore this my boyfriend used to comment on a good smell "It smells good here", "You smell good" etc. Later on I've come across a statement that men prefer the smell of vanilla on women. True or not this fragrance worked well on that.

I get a sweet synthetic plastic smell first and soon it turns into lemon and then strawberry which is apparently raspberry. I don’t get liquorice (thanks to that!) or caramel (what a shame!) at all. After 20 minutes I smell like a candy cane. Seriously, crunch up a candy cane and have a sniff! That’s pink sugar. Although it smells sweet, it’s not fruity sweet and heavy like many other sweet perfumes I know. It’s more a light, clean, lemony sweetness, very pleasant. But only that: pleasant. Not what I want. I want a perfume to be soothing, comforting, wrapping and warming.

I decided it would suit my 13 year old niece better, who loves it since then.

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 :-)

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.

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*

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.

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!

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!:)

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?

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.

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. But that does not matter, it is nice.

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

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 :)

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.

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.

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

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 :)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 !

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.

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.

...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 : )

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...

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????

On others, it smells divine, but on me, the tart licorice takes over. Couldn't stand the licorice smell it has, shame, cuz i really loved the sweet cotton candy in it.
lasts ok on me, 4-6 hours.

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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..

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.

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.

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!

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!

continued
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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 =)

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.

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

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!

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!

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.

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 :)

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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 few years 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.
Overall the licorice is just perfect. Loads of sugared raspberries with moderate saltiness of licorice. I have just a little bit left in bottle that I have stored for 2 years and now when deciding what to carry to my new place I though to use it up. So I discovered my liking for this unique scent again xD

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...

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

There was no thought behind this ridiculous sweet perfume

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. :)

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.

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.

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

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

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
