Pink Sugar by Aquolina Review: Only For Teen Girls?

As our Pink Sugar review will detail, this perfume isn’t for mature women. Instead, Aquolina’s fragrance is geared more towards teens. Well, teen girls for the sake of being more precise. Pink Sugar is a fun, trendy, lively scent, but is it worth buying? And is Pink Sugar only for teens?

There are several factors to consider with Pink Sugar perfume, including how it smells, cost, and ingredients. We’ve got you covered.

So stick around and read our Pink Sugar review and decide if this teen fragrance is for you (or the right gift for someone you know).

Pink Sugar Review: Let’s Get Started

Pink Sugar by Aquolina is considered a fruity and floral fragrance. For any teen perfume to experience success, the fruity notes should offer bold and fun options. That’s certainly the case with Pink Sugar. But we find that a lot of non-teen women tend to enjoy Pink Sugar. Why? We’ll get there.

Shyamala Maisondieu is one of the noses behind Pink Sugar. The Givaudan perfumer, born in Malaysia, has captivated the perfume world for years. Some of her other successes include Tom Ford and Lanvin. She brings a global infusion to her work, something that’s clear in Pink Sugar.

Pink Sugar was launched in 2004 and has remained a relatively popular teen girl fragrance. But what does Pink Sugar smell like? Does it last very long? Are there Pink Sugar samples?

Let’s answer those questions and more.

What Does Pink Sugar Smell Like?

Let’s break down Pink Sugar’s notes.

At the top, we find bergamot, a hint of fig leaves, and Sicilian orange. In the middle, there are red fruits. And the base notes consist of caramel, musk, and vanilla.

As mentioned, Maisondieu appreciates international perspective in her creations, and that’s obvious with Pink Sugar’s notes.

There’s a sense of levity with Pink Sugar, almost a carefree existence to its scent. It’s not an in-your-face experience, but it’s also not overly complex. It’s not intense; rather, a subtle fragrance. And that’s a bit surprising considering its notes target teens who might be more aligned with a louder experience.

We are finding more mature women (30s, 40s) liking Pink Sugar because it is a fruity, yet subtle experience. Pink Sugar can feel rather holiday’ish. But it doesn’t precede you entering a room; it tags along with you instead.

Although subtle, Pink Sugar is extremely sweet. But not in a provocative way. The licorice tends to pop intensely at first spritz, but the musk and vanilla wrangle it down rather quickly.

If you’re a mature woman on the fence with Pink Sugar, trying a sample is a good idea. You might be surprised by how it makes you feel.

Final Notes

Pink Sugar is seemingly crafted for teen girls, but more mature women are using it for nostalgia purposes. It’s a fun, spirited fragrance experience that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Expect a sweet, but not strong, scent after the first application. But, like many sweet scents, it won’t last a long time so plan to reapply.
