Sweet Delicious Pink Macaron DKNY 2012

Yes, that's what the little thing looks like! Or like one of those pink macarons (or Luxemburgerli).
And what do you get here? First, a few thoughts on the topic of "pink perfumes" - my actual fragrance comment is further down (for the hurried readers).

In my personal fragrance world, pink is not just pink! I roughly distinguish between "flower pink" and "candy cane pink" - of course, there are mixed forms as well. The flower pink perfumes primarily smell of flowers; they can be sweet, but they don't burst with sweetness. Typical examples for me are "Miracle," "Forever and ever Dior," "Reve infinie," "L'Eau pour Femme" (Dupont), and "Snowing Rose." The candy cane pink perfumes, on the other hand, are characterized by a distinct sweetness and usually lean more towards gourmand or fruity rather than floral. I see "Pink Sugar," "Bonbon," "LVEB," "Be enchanted," and "Les Delices de Nina" as typical representatives. This classification is completely value-neutral - both directions have their fans. I generally like both (ultimately, only the test determines the evaluation of each individual perfume), but they are used by me on different occasions: the flower pink perfumes are great for the office or outings, while the sweet ones are more for me alone at home when I'm in the mood for an olfactory treat. Just like today, for example, on this rainy June afternoon at home at the PC.

SDPM actually belongs more to the second of the directions described above, so "candy cane pink," but it lies at the less sweet end of the scale. The perfume is rather fruity; the sweetness is present but not overpowering. The kumquat in the opening certainly contributes to that. This note may not be everyone's favorite, but I appreciate it very much. Pomegranates (or their juice) have a rather slightly tart scent, but I haven't really smelled it authentically in any perfume yet, and not here either. I can't recognize marzipan as a single note, but it surely adds to the sweetness, just like the tonka bean. SDPM is a fruity gourmand scent with moderate sweetness. A nice casual feel-good fragrance - instead of a real macaron with a fruity note.
