Diet Coke version of Pink Sugar

This is very similar to the original flanker, Pink Sugar. The raspberry, licorice, and cotton candy-like notes are there; but everything is lighter. After going through 2 bottles of Pink Sugar, I grew tired of it; this is a more refreshing take on the original. Of course, if you don't like Pink Sugar to begin with, chances are you won't like this one either.

Pink Sugar with Less Bark and Less Bite

I've been in love with pink sugar since it was released 10 years ago. I've had the real deal, samples, dupes, and smelt many things trying to impersonate it's character. Pink Sugar is really something else, I've noticed this silly little fragrance getting some growing respect over the years because as strange of a fragrance as it is, it really holds it's own.
I didn't have high hopes for simply pink, simply because it was supposed to be less. Less for me usually doesn't mean better, especially with gourmands. I was still eager to try though and sprayed the top of one of my fingerless gloves. When I first smelled simply pink I was floored. Simply pink is just done right! The top notes delivered me a sugary punch of 3 of my favorite notes. Green leaves, almonds, and raspberry. Wow. That really shook up my senses in a pleasant way, just holding the simply pink bottle I was expecting that all too familiar licorice but it was just totally gone, poof!
The floral heart is pretty and nice, imagine walking through trees filled with white petals showering on you.
The bottom is really nice! A strawberry pink praline?! Unusual, still very sweet and lovely. The licorice vanilla helps the fragrance smell more like the old pink sugar at the dry down. Overall I was just sniff, sniff hooraying with my glove all the way home. Best of all my glove smelt like simply pink all the next day and it was the best smelling drives to school ever. The even better best of all you can still smell a bit of the top notes even till the end, and for me this was so important because the top notes are my very favorite!
I encourage all pink sugar and non-pink sugar lovers to try. Simply pink is still somewhat similar to pink sugar but packing a lot less of a punch. Simply pink is simply pretty! I am head over heels for that green leaf, almond, raspberry combo.
I've had a good run with pink sugar, 10 years of loyalty, but simply pink has me switching sides to try something different. Very pleased with aquolina once again.

Too pink and fizzy

I had this, but I gave it to my daughter. I enjoyed it, for about a year. It goes on at first with a plasticky smell, but it dries down into a vanilla-y, strawberriness. It is definitely a gourmand, yet fizzy. It's like a virgin carbonated drink one serves their kids on New Years Eve. I just got sick of its super-sweetness and started to develop headaches to it. I still like the Gold Sugar, though. That one is less plasticky-sweet and more coconutty-tropical.

Attack of the Killer Maoams

The apartment is somewhat tidy and vacuumed, everything on my to-do list feels pointless, so what does one do on such a lazy Sunday? Right: test perfume. And immediately my mood lifts, presumably. I’ll try a semi-blind test, so:
1. Draw a sample blind
2. Write down first impressions
3. Read the name and note further associations
4. Look up the fragrance pyramid and compare it with the experience

I sneak over to my little drawer unit on the bedroom dresser and try not to read the name while pulling out the sample. Phew, made it. Just to be safe, I cover the label and feel a bit silly doing it, but what doesn’t one do for an exciting review. The test sprayer is filled with about 1mL of a pale yellow liquid.

I sniff the spray head and detect gentle, slightly citrusy, slightly vanilla-cookie notes and I’m glad I didn’t get a stinker. One spray on the left wrist will have to suffice for now. The cookie notes take the lead here, the citrus takes a back seat and reminds me more of a baking aroma type lemon. A slight woodiness spreads, the lemon could also be a hefty piece of cedar wood, which quickly disappears again. Whether I find the scent pleasant, I can't say at this point; it seems a bit too synthetic. It’s definitely not a pure men’s fragrance, as a sweetness emerges in the background that suggests it’s a women’s or at most a unisex scent. At this point, it slightly reminds me of multivitamin juice. Then the sweetness and fruitiness increase, I smell Maoam, definitely pink, flavor raspberry or strawberry. Now it’s clear, it’s a women’s - better said, a girl’s fragrance!

I peel off the blank sticker from the label, it says Simply Pink, I believe by Pink Sugar. When I added the sample to my collection, I had indeed noted that it smells like Maoam at the spray head and I fear that not much more is coming. And yet, it gets sweeter and sweeter. I find it hard to recognize individual notes. At this point, I must unfortunately say that I don’t particularly like the scent anymore; I had hoped it would develop in a fruity-fresh direction.
A look at the pyramid reveals the overly present forest raspberry in the top note, the lemon turns out to be bergamot, and the woodiness is probably the fig leaf. The listed heart notes of jasmine and white flowers are mercilessly drowned out. The base notes of strawberries, licorice, which I can’t explicitly smell, pink praline, whatever that is supposed to be, and vanilla ensure that the scent becomes increasingly sweet.

The scent fits the name and is not inherently unbalanced. It will surely please all sweet tooth lovers who want to smell like a Maoam. However, it is definitely too sweet for me, and as mentioned, I would have preferred the citrus notes to dominate; I could have easily done without the raspberry. I still had fun, though.

Simply Pink

Yesterday, a small sample bottle of the new scent from Aquolina "Simply Pink - by Pink Sugar" fluttered into my home. At the first sniff, the familiar sweet Pink Sugar scent hit my nose. Perhaps a little toned down with a slight fruity note. I believe the fragrance is meant to represent a kind of summer version of the original Pink Sugar. When sprayed, I immediately thought of sparkling raspberry sorbet, which I didn't really like, as I'm not a huge fan of pure fruity scents. The typical Pink Sugar sweetness was almost completely pushed into the background for a few minutes. But then the raspberry faded more and more, and the sweet original Pink Sugar re-emerged with a slight hint of licorice and raspberry. Unfortunately, I couldn't smell any pink pralines. But to be honest, I have no idea what that should smell like :D

For those who are fans of Pink Sugar but want it in a slightly toned-down sparkling/fruity version, this fragrance is quite a good choice :)
