The Allure Of Pink-Colored Fragrances

Pink-colored scents are such an eye-candy; they’re trendy, chic and sweet. Each pink scent I sniff is a blend of lush floral bouquet decorated 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 signify the modernity 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 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. You can say that it’s one of the safest feminine scents around; safest in the sense that it’s not too much of a heady floral. 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 screaming youth appeal. 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. Lacoste Dream of Pink was presented in 2008 and des igned to fit the sunny days of summer.

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). Perhaps, it’s the sweet-smoky finish emanating from the sweet-smoky accords.

There are a lot of pink-colored perfumes in retail and some have become classics already. And every year, more perfumes are added to the list. The selection is endless but the downside is, most fragrances today smell the same. If you find yourself lost in translation from distinguishing one perfume from another, this is not news.
