Customer Reviews of Aquolina Pink Sugar Eau de Toilette Spray, 3.4 oz
Customer Review: When you're old enough to know better, but still too young to care
Summary: 5 Stars
Rarely, if ever, do I care much about packaging, but Pink Sugar certainly is an exception. The cylender containing the perfume has textured, pink stripes on the top and sides-- stripes that are 3D & you can feel the slight rubberiness touching them. The observant shopper will notice the hot pepper on the cylender label, indicating the spicy "adult" nature of this EDT. The top comes off easily, revealing a fragrance bottle wrapped with a piece of white cardboard to keep it safe. The cap of the perfume is frosted pink, with fuschia metallic ribbons on the cap and sides of the bottle. The packaging alone will definitely appeal to the kid in you. I will have a hard time throwing it away, if I do that at all. The fragrance itself is fantastic, starting off with that slightly peppery bergamot note on top of the sweetness, then dries to a powdery cotton candy finish after the pepper disappears. 2 hours after applying, it still retains that sweet note-- but not so sweet that it doesn't have an uplifting, fresh feel to it. This is different from any other "Oriental" fragrance I have ever smelled, but gorgeous enough that I strongly recommend it to anyone who loves fragrances in that category, OR anyone who can't decide between Earl Grey tea and a vanilla cappuccino in the morning. Definitely a fragrance that says that you are old enough to know better, but still too young to care (in a good way).Customer Review: A tale from a Pink Sugar addict...
Summary: 5 Stars
After years of searching I've finally found the perfect perfume. Pink Sugar makes me feel fabulous when I wear it; it's so light and `warm' with a base of sensual vanilla. I have the large bottle, body mousse & deodorent at home, and the smaller bottle in my handbag. 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!
*Aquolina needs to make Pink Sugar available to the U.K. - Postage and packing costs a fortune!!!
Customer Review: Pink Sugar...yum!
Summary: 5 Stars
Had never heard of it, was looking for something different. Received it, have worn it every day since getting it. Some women had reviewed it as being really really sweet, like cotton candy. Doesn't smell that way to me. Right off the top what I smell is black pepper, which I found really appealing, since I love pepper. It IS sweet, but not THAT sweet, sugary but not sickeningly sweet. I have not been swarmed by people saying how much they like it, but I have had compliments from people who've never been complimentary about anything else, so...? I don't wear perfume for other people, I wear it for myself. I like to smell something nice in the middle of the workday when I'm getting tired and bored with the hours...I've found that it wears very well on me, especially if I put a little moisturizing lotion on first. Others have complained about it fading too quickly on them, but I think their noses are just not good enough, it lasts all day although very much more subtly later in the day, with just a touch of musk showing up. I hate musk, so I'm glad it's very light and doesn't really bother me. I think the price is right, and I plan to buy more when this bottle is finished.Customer Review: Pink Sugar -- a food fragrance
Summary: 4 Stars
To put my review in context, I am not a fan of musks (ex. "Carolina Herrera") or the classics that other women seem to enjoy (ex. "Chanel No. 5", "Mitsouko"). And the perfumes that I love (ex. "Ciara", "Norell", and Victoria's Secret "Rapture") smell great on other women, but turn into a sour stank on my skin.
Everyone's skin is different, and sweat and acidity can change the dominant notes. On myself, this perfume smells like cotton candy initially, and then dries down to a vanilla/amber scent after about 30 minutes. Any perfume can give people headaches or make them nauseous, particularly if the wearer works with chemotherapy patients, as I do. So it's best not to wear too much of this stuff, if any at all, to work.
It has some real sillage -- my coworker could smell it from outside my office, and came in to ask me what I was wearing. It also lasts a long time. At the end of the day, my husband could smell it too, and although he doesn't like many perfumes either, he said I smelled tasty. Needless to say, I bought some.
Customer Review: It makes you smell like vanilla sugar.

Which is a very good thing as far as I am concerned.
This is one of my favorite perfumes! I ordered it after reading some online reviews, (and this time, I actually put some effort into trying to find it locally.) There was no place in town that carried it, and I was told I'd probably have to drive at least 2 hours to get it... so I ordered in on Amazon. It was a very good price, the shipping was reasonable, and I got it very fast.
The packaging is not super extraordinary, but I don't really 'buy the perfume for the bottle'.
The scent is amazing, there is really nothing else out there quite like it. It is like pure concentrated SUGAR. It really doesn't get any sweeter than this, and yet, it is not overpowering, and it lasts for hours and hours.
My husband does not like many perfumes, but this one he does. He says it makes me smell like cotton candy. :)
