...I notice the new fragrance from Lacoste. I admit that I wanted to try it out solely because Alexa Chung is the new testimonial for Lacoste. And I confess, I love Alexa Chung. I even let myself be tempted to order l'ombre dans l'eau because that is (supposedly) her favorite fragrance. Well, it's certainly not mine.
Back to Lacoste. So this cute-looking bright pink bottle is smiling at me and saying: come on, dare to try it! I take the plunge and stand there smiling cutely in the midst of a grapefruit cloud. And I love grapefruit. Quickly to the checkout and off I go outside. As I leave, I think: this is going to be expensive if I have to reapply a thousand times a day just to bask in this wonderful grapefruit note.
But I was wrong. A little later, a delicate oriental base reveals itself, which at first seems completely out of place with the naive cheerful grapefruit. And yet it fits. For me, it's a pleasant surprise that I can also get along very well with the rest of the fragrance. And I admit, I love my new scent.

Postscript: Am I a teenager in the body of an old woman? Am I spiritually and mentally succumbing to the youth craze? Or why do I like this fragrance that supposedly doesn't match my biological age? The solution probably lies in the fact that I am regressing. When I was around twenty, I wore sophisticated scents like Halston, Shalimar, and Rive Gauche. Now, at the foot of menopause, I reach for teenage fragrances. Honi soit qui mal y pense.

Addendum (20 hours later): I just bought InStyle (even though I actually think it's silly) because there's something about Alexa Chung in it. And what do I read? Alexa says about Joy of Pink: "I love this one. It's young, fresh, and smells like lemon!" Ups...

all good things ...

... come in threes.

I was on the lookout for a summer fragrance that should be sunny yet long-lasting.
That's when my searching eye fell again on Joy of Pink.
I had already tried it twice before and found it good.
The only thing standing in the way of a joyful purchase was that only 100ml bottles were available, and my handbag only has room for a 30ml bottle, as there are already other dröllunddröllfzig things rolling around in there.

But today I managed to get a 30ml flacon, and tried it, just for form's sake, for the third time.
My nose continued to say a resounding Yes! to the fragrance, and without tarnishing the innate color of the resolution of thought with paleness, the flacon found its way into my spacious handbag.

The way to the parking lot was brightened by a refreshing cocktail of grapefruit and citrus fruits.
Blue Curacao mixes deliciously in, conveying a South Sea feeling.
The noble peony bathes the gray streets I traverse in a cheerful pink.
Yes, Joy puts rose-colored glasses on you.
The spicy cedarwood at the end gives the fragrance value - and longevity.

I cruise calmly through the bustling streets and think: Off to the south!

In the Heart Gigantic, but Otherwise Lacking the Kick!

The scent of the perfume:
Top Note
The top note is usually the most decisive when buying a perfume, as it is the first scent section you can smell. Unless you buy the fragrance a few days later and have used the tester, then you know all the scent sections of the perfume, of course. But I usually decide based on the top note.
This top note of the perfume consists solely of the scent of grapefruit. The scent is very intense and fruity, but still somewhat bitter, as one knows from grapefruit. You can perceive it very well, and I find it has a bit of a sparkling quality. I would say the top note is somewhat of an acquired taste, but after a while, you start to like it.

Heart Note:
The heart note consists of the scent of Curacao, which immediately reminds me of the beautiful cocktail I know. It looks really nice and blue, so it has nothing to do with pink, but there is also a variant that can be mixed which ends up looking red, and this variant is probably the one to remember with this perfume. The scent is wonderfully fruity and sweet, yes really just like you know it from the cocktail; I find it really fascinating what Lacoste has come up with here. I can also faintly detect a floral scent, which does not overpower the fruity aspect; I think the sweet note can also come from the floral area that can be easily sniffed. All in all, this is a fantastic heart note that honestly, truly, totally appeals to me. But I must also say that the heart note is likely a scent that Lacoste will appeal to younger women, let's say from 17 to 25 years old, who first know the cocktail and therefore will simply love the scent. For older women, it might be a bit too fruity and sweet; one could also say the scent might be too sticky for them, at least that's my feeling about the scent. So, as a 22-year-old single, I find the scent really great.

Base Note
What can I say, I was again thrilled by the heart note, and I find it simply wonderful, but when I perceived the base note later on, I thought it was somehow a shame. It doesn’t smell bad, but I had something different in mind after the fruity experience in the heart note. In the base note, everything seems rather woody, and I must admit that this is not my preferred scent for a perfume. You can smell the scent of cedarwood. This smells, in my opinion, not only woody but also somewhat spicy. Unfortunately, this doesn't quite match my taste; I would have preferred something fruity at the end, like pineapple, which would have perfectly complemented the heart note as a finish, or even something floral, but not this woody scent. I am unfortunately a bit disappointed.

Personal Opinion:
I think the perfume is not bad, but I must admit it is also not a hit; it doesn't come close to my favorite scent Touch of Pink. You can tell that it is a very noble scent, but it is more aimed at the younger generation of 17 to 25 years. The roundness of it is actually the heart note, which, due to the cocktail that is found as a scent in it, appears very fruity but also sweet, and thus appeals more to younger women, in my opinion. The heart note totally appeals to me, and I find it simply great; I have never worn a better heart note than this. But it is partly due to the top note that I do not like this perfume, I must say, even though I have now gotten used to the top note, which is rather fruity and bitter, as grapefruit smells, but I just cannot get along with the base note. It smells too woody for me and, in my opinion, does not fit into the scent at all.
The bottle looks beautiful as always, and I don't want to complain about the price; Lacoste fragrances are indeed a bit more expensive than normal.
I would give this perfume 50% out of 100%, as the heart note really blows me away and is great. Since you can give 5 stars here, and I would actually have to give two and a half stars, I will just round up to 3 stars because of the heart note and the beautiful bottle. I can recommend this perfume to younger women from 17 years old, where one starts to understand what perfume is all about, up to 25 years old. Because at this age, I believe, and I also find myself, that this fruity and sweet scent in summer and spring is extremely good. It somehow gives off that certain something.

now it gets fruity

Nice fruity summer scent.
It goes in the direction of the limited Escada summer fragrances.
So anyone who is a fan of those should definitely try Joy of Pink.
The scent is very fruity, cheerful, and sweet.
It has nothing in common with the regular Touch of Pink.
The longevity is also quite okay.
For me, it suits teenagers better.
My fruit bomb days are over!

Burnt Earth

I'm sorry, but "Joy of Pink" doesn't smell particularly great on my skin.
At first, it was just a cloud of grapefruit, and then it developed a strong scent of
something burnt. Mixed with something abominably sweet - Curaçao?
Quite strange.
I advise against buying this fragrance blindly; definitely test it on your skin first, as it smells pleasantly fresh & fruity on the test strip.
