Pink-colored scents are stylish, upbeat and young. 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 melange of florals featuring peony, rose and lily of the valley sets the stage for the aromatic gourmand Angel is known for. It’s slightly sweet, spicy and sprinkled with green accords. 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 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
Flowerbomb is flower power in a very unusual 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 targetted for young women. It’s fresh, sweet and very trendy. Touch of Pink and Love of Pink are part of Lacoste’s “Pink” scents. 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 mysterious, dark and exquisite. 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 could be the sweet-smoky accords giving off that distinct chartacter.
There are more pink-colored scents in the perfumery and some have become 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. The choices are infinite and sometimes or most of the time rather, they smell the same. It’s not surprising to confuse one designer perfume from its competition.
