I work at a hotel so I am exposed to a lot of cosmetics and fragrances that I normally wouldn't see, seeing as how I live in a very small town where the only places you can buy perfume are Sears and Walmart. When I walked into one room in particular I noticed it smelled very strongly of vanilla, wh...

I was really excited to get a sample of this when I ordered from Sephora because the packaging is just so cute, but the scent just wasn't for me. It's too sweet, which I shouldn't be surprised of since it's called "Pink Sugar". I need a little bit of floral or fruit to balance is out, but it does s...

Pink Sugar Perfume for Women by Aquolina is my favorite perfume! I love it! Everytime I wear it someone asks me what I'm wearing. I thought it would be a fragrance for "younger" girls...but when I went in and tested it out I found that it actually has some sophisticated smells to it as well. I bought the lotion & body wash too so the perfume sticks on me even more!

I bought 5 aftershaves from perfume.com and this one is the best. I bought this for my husband, but would get one for my teenage son as well. Very fresh, spicy scent with a woodsy quality, smells very clean. Not too light, not too strong. Great looking bottle too for a lower price. This one I will buy again!

This is one of my favorite perfumes. It is very sweet and innocent, but not overpowering or cloying. The notes blend perfectly, so even if you don't like the top notes, which are very sweet, like cotton candy, it'll fade to a sort of vanilla musk. It's wonderful, don't say it's not for you until you've smelled it yourself. There is only one thing I don't like about this perfume-- it doesn't last very long on me. Still a great buy!

I lived in Italy for the past 2 years, and was introduced to Pink Sugar Perfume for Women by Aquolina while I was there. To be honest, there is nothing quite like it! At first smell, it reminds me of cotton candy. It smells so good, you want to eat it! Whenever I wear it, I always receive so many compliments on how I smell. And they always ask where they can purchase it. Men like it as well. They always say how nice I smell and always ask what I am wearing.

Pink sugar is the kind of perfume every girl needs. It smells just like cotton candy! Its sure to take you back to your childhood. It's such a fun and flirty fragrance. It's the kind of perfume guys go crazy for. Its very sweet so it's not something I wear everyday. I like to wear it when it's hot outside and I feel playful. Its a very distinct scent that will leave a lasting impression on everyone you come across.

What fun is this one - all sweetness and light - like orange cream cupcakes with vanilla butter frosting! Yummy! This is something to spritz on when you're in the mood for something light, definitely sweet, innocent, carefree and young. I think this will be wonderful for the warm summer months. Not too much complexity here but very nice. I believe the target market for this is young girls, say teens to early or mid 20s. But I don't believe scent can or should be limited to 'certain scents for certain ages' and I can see women of all ages choosing this one whenever they want something fun, sweet and light. Very nice!

Pink Sugar Perfume for Women by Aquolina smells absolutely wonderful. It has a sweet smell and it reminds me a lot of cotton candy. When I wear it, I get a lot of compliments. People are always telling me I "smell so good" and "what is that you're wearing! I love it!" Pink Sugar is a long lasting scent and I like that so that I'm not having to refresh my scent throughout the day.

Pink Sugar Perfume for Women by Aquolina is one fragrance that is remarkably one of a kind. I have always loved the scent of cotton candy since I was a little girl. So, about 2 years ago when I was wanting a new perfume I researched it out so that I could find something that smelled like it. I get so many compliments on this perfume and my dad always says I smell like marshmellows!!! (Hahahah) My favorite thing about it would be the youthful and playfulness that the scent has. It is not too strong but it's sweet enough to make you feel 100% girl. Funny story is my mom put some on one day and was eating dinner with my teenage brothers and their friends and one of their friends kept getting really close to her. When she asked him why he said "cause you smell hot!" Needless to say she has never borrowed my perfume again. Buy Pink Sugar!! You will not be disappointed. I would sell this stuff myself if I could!

Pink Sugar Perfume for Women by Aquolina is actually one of my favorites. If you like something sweet, something innocent, and something playful, then this is for you. There are so many different layers to this scent. To me, I can sense a bit of cinnamon buns towards the end of the evening! This fragrance is a must have for someone needing a pick-me-up spirit to last an entire day.

Please don't get me wrong as I love this scent but I found the mousse to have kind of a sticky feel to it when applyed and not very moisturizing. In the long run I did find that I had to reapply another type of lotion that did not make my skin feel dryer then when I started.

This perfume is the ULTIMATE in girly. I sampled it at a local Sephora, and it lasted all day. That's when I decided to go back and buy it. It lasts especially long in the hair or on clothes; when sprayed on my pajamas, I woke up in the morning with the smell of roasted marshmallows filling my nose. This perfume also has a good array of notes. When first sprayed, it smells like a donut, almost. Then, later on in the day, it shifts to graham cracker, then to marshmallow. I love it! I strongly suggest it to anyone, although it will seem especially fitting to anyone who is fun-loving or especially girly.

like cotton candy." The name really does say it all. When you first put it on, it smells like pure sugar. A lot of reviews I read, people said they picked up other notes, but I'm with my boyfriend in thinking it smells just like cotton candy. And you know guys love the smell of sweets, so this will definetely be an attention grabber. And it's not strong at all, like a lot of vanilla scents are these days. It's light and airy, and I kept sniffing my hair all day long. And it smells the same all day long. It doesn't change and get pungent or musty smelling. It smells the same as it does when you first put it on. Definetely the best perfume I've ever had.

Pink Sugar Perfume for Women by Aquolina is a pretty unique fragrance. It?????s a very girly fragrance, but not a young girly fragrance. It smells like vanilla, and donuts and, cotton candy, and graham crackers, with hints of floral scents. The scent is not overpowering or too sweet, it?????s a nice balance. I don?????t wear this a lot, but when I do I get tons of compliments.

A yummy sugar scent, very girly. I like the entire line, especially the body mousse. It is not too heavy if you layer the Pink Sugar Products. This is a better price than I have seen it at Sephora. If you like the Demeter Cotton Candy or any of the Sugar products made by Fresh or Dessert, than this is a nice comprise of not to sticky sweet and still a light, playful scent.

Very sweet "young" fragrance. At first it has a similar scent as Angel, but the finish is more powdery & cotton-candy like. I wouldn't wear it if you're over 30, but thats just me. Perfect gift for that teenager in your family!

I love pink sugar. It smells so amazingly good. It's not sooo cotton candy its ridiculous, it's in a good way. If you ever tried jessica simpsons dessert products this is along the same lines. I think it lasts all day. It's a playful sexy scent. If you haven't tried it your missing out.

Pretty, girly scent. Very feminine and sweet. Pink Sugar Perfume for Women by Aquolina has an almost candy sweet smell to it. It definitely lives up to the "sugar" portion of its name. It's a very summery and light smell. I'd definitely reccomend it for daytime wear. I don't really think it's sophisticated enough or sexy enough for evening wear. Also, its staying power is a little disappointing. An hour after I put this on, I couldn't tell I was wearing anything. Still, a pretty fragrance that I don't mind wearing on occasion.

I love these bath cubes but they dont see as fragrant as the perfume. They are still great for layering all the pink sugar products though. Each cube takes about 15 minutes (at least for me) to disolve so allow plenty of bath time! Sometimes I would use two! These smell so good just like cotton candy.

I love Pink Sugar. Plain and simple. It's not an "every day" perfume of course. I save it for occasions when I'm feeling playful and fun. My husband goes gah-gah when I wear it, he can't get enough of me - at least that's what he says! When I spray it on my body, I can still lightly smell it 12 hours later. It's a nice cotton candy scent that is not over powering. This sweet, flirty fragrance is perfect for romance.

Okay, so maybe Aquolina's Pink Sugar is a little on the juvenile side, and not something a sophisticated person would wear to a business meeting or other important event. Who cares? It's fun! I don't always want to walk around smelling like a big stick of freshly spun cotton candy, but sometimes it's nice to throw on casual clothes and waft a trail of sugary vanilla yumminess. Besides, guys seem to love the stuff. I just wish Pink Sugar had been around when I was in high school!

I love this fragrance, despite it's reputation as being somewhat immature and played out. This is more sophisticated than just cotton candy, it has a peculiar bitter note underneath the sweetness that I think makes this a little more interesting than a strictly cotton candy sugar scent. This scent makes me feel happy and girly and I've gotten more compliments from men on Pink Sugar than any other fragrance I own.

Don't let the name fool you! This pink striped creation hides fruity notes of strawberry and orange, along with a light powdery scent that reminds me of baby powder. The end notes I smelled seemed to be a bit of vanilla, but most perfumes have a hint of vanilla, so that could just be an afterthought. Try it ?????? I think it is perfect for a sunny spring day, but it?????s not spicy enough for the night life.

I love the pink sugar perfume but i was not too impressed with the shower gel. It dosent have the "staying power" of the perfume. Although if you layer it with the other pink sugar products it is fine but to use alone don't expect too much. Smells less of the cotton candy than the other products in this line.
