Blue Sugar

There are some male perfumes that I like to wear myself but I don't.lets say I didn't I have three aquolina perfumes,pink sugar,gold sugar and chocolover.I love all three so I decided to collect others Unfortunately aquolina perfumes aren't popular in my country and they're not available in shops or sites.but I saw blue sugar in a perfume shop and from that day I'm dreaming about it.I know it's for men but look at the notes.cotton candy,licorice,staranise,tonka and lavender are my favorite notes and lots of reviews said that it's wearable for women too.also I heard it's discontinued so it was a bargain(a 100mil unsealed bottle for 40$)so I ordered it When I first sprayed it I felt sick.it was one of the worst and most disgusting smells I've ever experienced.maybe it had changed because I can't believe a perfume to be this much bad smelling.it was like a sticky mixture of sour and sweet rotten fruits(mostly rotten grape to be specific) and dirty patchouli doused in alcohol that was shadowing the real scent and it's not a matter of skin chemistry,it's like that when sprayed on clothes too I'm proud of myself because of being very brave for tolerating those 30 minutes.that disgusting smell starts fading so that after another 15 minutes most of it is gone.now I can smell licorice,staranise,tonka and lavender.it's a heaven of dark powder,reminds me drydown of Lolita lempicka.I really don't find it very sweet,maybe because I can't detect any cotton candy yet,but I agree blue sugar can be considered unisex I passionately hate it's initial phase also love it's drydown so I don't know what's my feelings about this blindbuy.unfortunately initial phase makes ny stomach turn and I have difficulty trying not to scrub on the other hand it's drydown is a licorice,powder heaven and seems to be addictive.longevity and sillage are both very good I wish something changes after some time Edit: I gave it to my husband and things seem to be very different smelling it on someone else Now I thing there's nothing horrible here and it also hadn't turned I always have difficulty handling presence of syrupy sourish notes in sweet, heavy fumes (I have such a problem with manifesto, lancome la vie edp, ungaro fruit gold) First phase of blue sugar that bothers me is a combination of bergamot and mandarin orange with patchouli and sweet notes and a dash of coriander.these citrus notes seem to be not prominent for others but to my nose They rule over first hour of application and I can't Tolerate their presence though I can stand it on my husband We both think that this is a very unique and complex scent for men and not overly sweet.I don't know anything similar branded for men so if you're looking for an interesting combination of sweet and spicy notes with some citruses and powder give it a try It's very potent.longlastinh and great projection

Review from a Female/31y.old... I got interested in buying this, because of the similarities with Loverdose from Diesel. I ́ve always wanted to try Loverdose since the day it came out, but I haven ́t had a chance yet. So I bought this from Ebay Germany for only 6,90€ / 50ml !!! When I first spray it, I get licorice! Alot of licorice. As if you open a bag of real strong licorice and take a big sniff. After some minutes the Anis kicks in, but the licorice is still dominant. Then the sweetness comes and I can defenetly smell some manly Cedar Notes (or is it Coreander???) The licorice calms down after a while and blends perfectly with the Anis and the sweet candy notes. In my oppinion this is a Unisex Fragrance. The manly notes are not dominant. It is harsher than Pink Sugar, but there are alot similarities, you can smell that they ́re from the same family. It ́s a sexy mens fragrance, girls would love it! But it ́s also a sultry, kind of oriental, candy-ish womens fragrance. (Especially if you like Licorice!!!!) I also find that it ́s a scent that "grows" on me. The more I use it, the more I sniff my wrists, the more notes I can identify. It changes during the time you wear it. The longer you wear it, the more it settles down and fits to your body chemistry. I like it alot and I am kind of falling in love with it the more I wear it.

I found BLUE SUGAR in search for any masculine Cotton Candy frags. I definitely was not disappointed with this one. It is a great find. I don't know why Aquolina has discontinued this frag.. it seems to have a following for sure. I think it is because Cotton Candy is rarely ever used in mens perfumery, and it is done great here. Upon the opening I get the bergamot citrus with a definite cotton candy accord that never really goes away throughout the life of the frag (which I love). The mid the licorice/anise come out, and then the dry-down is very vanillic (probably from the Tonka). I found it quite similar to the womens version PINK SUGAR, but because of the Patchouli in BLUE SUGAR it makes it just a bit more darker (masculine). But don't be totally fooled. Upon comparing side by side. I actually find BLUE SUGAR more of a syrupy sweetness, and PINK SUGAR more of a vanillic sweetness. So in this case.. the mens version of this scent is even more sweet than the womens. Very interesting. Love this frag..if it was not discontinued.. I would wear it way more often. Very innovative especially for a mans fragrance wardrobe. I think this is one of the sweetest designer men's frags ever!

I love this perfume but I don't get why it never smells the same on me. When I first bought it, all I got was sweet cotton candy. I loved it! Then a month later I wore it and all I got was pure licorice. Nice, but not as nice as before. Then I wore it to school one day and I was horrified to find I smelled like pure cedar the whole day! It's kinda funny how this changes on my skin. I still really like the scent, but for me it's unpredictable. I really want to try it out on my hubby to see how he smells! Still glad I bought it, but I don't wear it that often. And to comment on the man vs woman aspect, I have to say when I first tried it, I thought, what kind of man wears cotton candy?? But as the scent has evolved over the last few months, I find I get a lot more cedar and I do find the scent more manly now. I guess my perception of it has changed. I haven't smelled it on a man, but I do think it would make him quite yummy without smelling too girly.

I just got this, I managed to find an ebay seller from Italy that sold this for 66 Euros. And the product is still sealed and I think mine is legit. This is for me a totally licorice-ish perfume, and I can detect the anise and coriander as well, but the most prominent note for me is licorice. To be honest this phase doesn't impress me that much, because this is the smell of a candy that my late-grandfather used to give me when he was still around (Black Hacks Candy, anyone could relate?). And this phase stays very long, like 3-4 hours or so. And then the cotton candy blooms, with tonka beans and cedar, this is my favorite part, a candy gourmand, sweet and warm, the licorice is now only serves as a backdrop for the whole composition. And thank God, it stays this way for the next 4 hours or so. I don't think this is the dupe of Bond No. 9 New Haarlem. New Haarlem smells like maple syrup, and this is licorice-cotton candy.
