Loving, Wanting and Sniffing Pink Fragrances

Pink-colored scents are chic, young and sweet. Every pink scent I encounter is a lush floral bouquet embellished with fruits or musk accords. The mingling of notes creates a dramatic flair to achieve a distinct character way above its peers. That’s the kind of image fragrance houses want to project to the perfume loving public.

Pink fragrances also embodies the contemporary art in the world of perfumery. Mainstream scents, more often than not, are light and ephemeral and not to mention, pink!

There are a lot pink-colored scents in retail nowadays. But what is it about the pink-colored juices that every designer fragrance house comes up with its own collection of pink scents?

Let’s go over some of the popular pink scents in the perfumery:

Thierry Mugler Garden of Stars – Pivoine Angel
This fragrance is peony meets patchouli and vanilla. The floral composition of peony, rose and lily of the valley is a prelude to the foody aroma Angel is known for. It’s slightly sweet, spicy and sprinkled with green accords. Pivoine Angel is part of Angel’s Garden of Stars series~Pivoine Angel is one of Angel’s Garden of Stars collection~Pivoine Angel is part of Angel’s Garden of Stars series}~Pivoine Angel is one of Angel’s Garden of Stars collection~Pivoine Angel is part of Angel’s Garden of Stars series}. This lovely pink juice was concocted by Olivier Cresp in 2005.

Femme Hugo Boss
Femme is a well-executed floral-musk fragrance. It’s one of the safest feminine scents around because it veers away from the heady floral category. Femme may smell familiar (reviews say that it smells like other floral fragrances) but in the dry down, it softens into a beautiful elegant floral that blends well with the warm musk.

Viktor&Rolf Flowerbomb
Floral power in a grenade-inspired bottle – this is Flowerbomb. The first fragrance by Dutch designers Viktor&Rolf, Flowerbomb is a decadent floral scent where the sweetness is cut by the edgy notes of patchouli. Designed as a floriental fragrance, this feminine scent tops the charts in the women’s perfumes category.  

Lacoste Dream of Pink
Dream of Pink is targetted for young women. It’s fresh, sweet and very trendy. Lacoste fragrances include a suite of “Pink” scents such as Touch of Pink and Love of Pink. This perfume is consist of berries, iced tea, rose, lotus and sandalwood. Launched in 2008, Lacoste Dream of Pink is suitable for daytime.

Calvin Klein Euphoria
Euphoria is dark, enigmatic and exotic. The contrast of fruits and florals exude an alluring fragrance most fitting to a sophisticated woman. Some perfumistas say that Euphoria is so Angel-ish (Thierry Mugler). It’s probably the sweet-smoky finish arising from the sweet-smoky accords.

There are a lot of pink-colored perfumes in retail and some have become classics already. And each year, a hundred or so perfumes are added to the list. You’ll never run out of options but the unfortunate thin nowadays is, most scents smell like the thousand of fragrances out there. It’s not surprising to confuse one designer perfume from its competition.
