Flirtatious Pink Gourmand
The name, Pink Macaroon, is enough to make any gourmand lover salivate. Although I have to agree that it bears some similarities to Nina Ricci's Le Paradis de Nina, (a fragrance already in my collection), I am pleased to see DKNY taking a chance with a gourmand.
Pink Macaroon is not nearly as fruity as other DKNY scents. It's actually quite sugary and soft. I'm not a macaroon expert, but I do love that feeling when I bite into a particularly sweet and tasty one. This fragrance has a similar light, colourful and fluffy feel.
The opening was bright and juicy, with ripe nectarine and a hint of pink rose. The marzipan amps up the gourmand quality in the heart, with the tonka bean and amber providing a rich, vanillary base. Every note seems to compliment one another beautifully. Pink Macaroon is a surprisingly well composed fragrance.
I appreciate almost all gourmands on the lighter side of things. Pink Macaroon's sillage is incredibly light and airy, which I consider a beautiful thing. It doesn't get much more girly than this.
I am yet to test Tart Key Lime, but I did enjoy Creamy Meringue just as much as I did Pink Macaroon. It's a shame that these fragrances are a limited edition set. I find their bottles to be very appealing as well.
As I mentioned above, the projection was very light on the skin, however I found the longevity quite impressive, lasting well over six hours. I am really pleased with DKNY's Pink Macaroon. I would recommend it to any gourmand fan, especially those that like them pink, flirtatious and delicious.
