Pink Potion

~ Inspiration ~
The first perfume from Christina Aguilera was a gift I received, and I liked it a lot.
I became aware of this one through the advertising, and after I had a sniff test, I wished for it for Christmas (of course, I asked for the largest bottle :D)

Christina authentically serves as the face of her fragrances and fits perfectly with the seductive perfumes.

~ Bottle ~
The name means "secret potion" and is very fitting and creatively chosen. I’m not particularly fond of the shape here, while the pink color excites me. I find the other bottles more beautiful and aesthetic.
The charm could have been omitted (or at least made smaller). It bothers me during use.

~ Scent ~
A hit from the very beginning!
Although the top note is supposed to be very citrusy (mandarins, lemons), it hardly comes through at all, being skillfully overshadowed by the passion fruit. I love scents with orange blossom and vanilla, and in this one, there are even 3 accords in the heart note that I really like - jasmine, lotus, and orange blossom.
Warm and somewhat heavy, the scent is rounded out by its base notes, featuring a vanilla tonka bean.

~ Longevity ~
On my skin, it lasts quite a long time; it easily lasts through a workday (even longer on clothes and hair). I don’t think you can overdo this scent; I like to use several sprays and don’t find it to be too overpowering.

~ Occasion ~
I prefer to use it in autumn and winter.
It is warm and cozy, but not too heavy or too sweet, making it pleasant to wear both during the day and in the evening. It gives you a nice boost of confidence.

~ Conclusion ~
My favorite scent from Christina Aguilera!

PS: I think it has a slight resemblance to Loverdose by Diesel, but it is much softer.

I really like this one too - just like almost all of hers.
