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 many pink-colored perfumes 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 check out some of the more popular pink fragrances in the perfumery
Thierry Mugler Garden of Stars – Pivoine Angel
This fragrance is dominated by peony and sprinkled with notes of patchouli and vanilla. The floral combo of peony, rose and lily of the valley sets the stage for the gourmand-ish aroma Angel is known for. It’s sweet, peppery and slightly green. Pivoine Angel is part of Angel’s Garden of Stars’ flanker. This lovely pink juice was concocted by Olivier Cresp in 2005.
Femme Hugo Boss
Femme is a well-executed floral-musk fragrance. It’s considered one of the “okay” feminine scents because it’s not a heady floral to begin with. 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
Flowerbomb touts itself as “the bomb” – floral galore in a grenade-shaped bottle. 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 undoubtedbly for the young audience. 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 charged with berries, iced tea, rose, lotus flower and sandalwood. Introduced in 2008, Lacoste Dream of Pink is just right for daytime.
Calvin Klein Euphoria
Euphoria is bold, dramatic and mysterious. 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 many pink-colored fragrances in the perfumery and some were tagged as classics already. And with every year that comes, more and more perfumes are created and added to the already thousands of fragrances in the perfumery. You’ll never run out of options but the unfortunate thing nowadays is, most scents smell like the thousand of fragrances out there. If you find yourself lost in translation from distinguishing one perfume from another, this is not news.
