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.

Remember that movie "Michael" where John Travolta plays an archangel? There's a scene where a group of women are all commenting on how good he smells. "It's caramels. He smells like caramels," one woman says. "It's cotton candy," says another woman. Andie MacDowell responds, "No. It's cookies. He smells like cookies. And the smell gets stronger when he's in heat." Blue Sugar is that exact smell. It's sweet and charming, but with a sly devilish grin. Anise, which is usually a note I detest, is actually pleasant here. It is used in tandem with licorice to cut through the intense sugariness of Blue Sugar. Make no mistake, this fragrance is not particularly sophisticated or nuanced. It doesn't smell very expensive, and the name is ridiculous. But I cant help myself from liking it. It's fun and easy to wear. It's truly unisex, although I think such a sweet scent is much more surprising and unexpected on a man.

BAM!!! This one hit me hard the first time I smelled it. Honestly, it reminded me of when I would pass through the pipe tobacco aisle at Sav-on when I was a kid. But ya know -- I kinda liked how that aisle smelled!!! I know it doesn't have any tobacco in it, but the overtone is there. But it is mixed with so many sweet and licorice-like layers that it just blends into something wonderful after a few intense moments after spraying. I go LIGHT on this one and it still holds well for hours and gets softer and more subtle as the day goes on. A DAZZLER. It has a special place in my gallery, and I may go 2 or 3 weeks without wearing it, yet when I do, I just adore it. Also, this is one of the best bang-for-buck fragrances out there. Very reasonably priced whenever I have purchased it. It's nice not to feel ripped-off for a change, but heck, I'd pay more for it if I had to!!!

Have to write another review for sure I hated blue sugar when I first tried it so I gave it to my husband.each time he wore it I thought about that how much this smells good on him.finally I decided to give it another try on my skin and now I loooove it I don't what was the reason of that first impression but I also disliked pink sugar in first tests and now I adore it.I believe they are so complex that my nose needed time to analyze their beauty Blue sugar is a masterpiece.a super uni gourmand perfume for men which is also wearable by women.very potent and almost a sillage monster.I can smell all the notes listed now but most dominant on me is something chocolate like and licorice.doesnt smell really like cotton candy as pink sugar does but this one is darker,even more complex and more sexy Please re-release this masterpiece ❤❤❤❤❤

blue sugar is a truly intoxicating scent and it can suit also woman. the licorice is really strong in this in the first minutes but then it mingels very well with the other accords and the patchouli is calming down the sweetness. it's really delicious and sexy, sweet but not girlish. ok, the cotton candy is actually waving trough the compo, but it's subtle and not to sweet. blue sugar lasts forever with a few drops. the base with cedar, tonka and staranaise is to die for. i can really recommend this to a selfconfident man who dares to be sexy to bite. it can maybe even become a hilarious scent when worn by the wrong type of man. it remembers me a lot to diesel fuel unlimited, less the powdery white flowers, lavender and coriander make this more unisex than diesel fuel unlimited which is obviousely suitet to woman.

It's weird to me how people that love Amen.... can hate Blue sugar. The reason is, to me, the (only) good things of Amen (dry down, sillage, longevity), are all present in Blue Sugar from the mid notes on. I don't like the opening of Blue Sugar...is too...well... sugary. The rest is very good and very impressive for the price!. On my skin, it keeps smelling like smoky caramel, which by the way, gets me compliments every time! My conclusion is, some people don't like it because it's not expensive, therefore, many others may get it and wear it. Now, I don't know about you, but my mother taught that is the definition of being selfish...or for those of you who love Chanel...the definition of being Egoiste.

ok now i read Mr.Mookies comment on me and i thought i should give blue sugar another try !! because since the first time (you can read my first comment under mr.mookies comment) i never sprayed again. I said to myself i will sell it away. "but and now the but comes " i am glad i didnt do that because Mr. Mookie is completely right today i didnt smell an unpleasant burned sugar , no!! i smelled a yummy sugar that is even not burned ! Really this one can grown on everyone just give the fragrance a chance and time to develope itself _________________________ My Advice : 1.buy it 2.spray one time and dont smell it!! 3. and 1 week later spray on you 4. you start to love ________________________

This is a great scent. Now let me quantify that. This is not for everyone. If you don't like sweet scents, stay away! If you like 80's power bombs, stay away! This is very sweet but to me the anise, licorice, and coriander make this wearable for men. I also get a pimento note even though none exist in the note break down. This is sweet up top but in the mid the spicy notes come in and this fragrance becomes much more wearable. Longevity and projection are also excellent. I ultimately get a sweet, spicy, cotton candy and anise/licorice smell. I really like this one and picked up a couple bottles before it became expensive. I think women will like this more than men as well.

Im deffinatly in love with the sweet fumes for sure, and have always adored pink sugar. I was looking for something equivalent but not as cotton candy sweet, and read the reviews for this. Yes, suppose to be for men, but manmy women on here relly like it too and own it for thier use... so, thanks to the great website I was able to get a 100ml bottle for under 20 bucks! I have to admit there is a wierdness about it when first sprayed.. but i actually really liked it, sometimes as others have done, I mix it with PS as well.. The best part is that my hubby sprays himself every morn.. and when he comes home he is still smelling so yummy!!! really suits him too!!

Coffee, toffee, caramelized sugar, vanilla, cotton candy, and LICORICE. I usually dislike fragrances with a prominent licorice note; however, this is blended so nicely. This smells like yellow cake batter in the drydown, and EVERYONE will want to stand next to you. I love that this fragrance is not a projection monster (though it does leave a pretty good scent trail) and I get 8 - 9 hours out of it. Blue Sugar should be worn by anyone who craves a delicious gourmand. Update: Layered with Rochas man, these two create the most relaxing, edible scent out there. 1 spray each to separate sides of your neck and 1 spray each to the lower abdomen.

This frag is absolutely delicious, and it's not just for the boys! In small doses I get more of a sweet cotton candy with a hint of licorice/anise, but in large doses, I find that the licorice and anise are much more prominent than the cotton candy and kind of overshadow it. I prefer to use this frag sparingly so I can get more of the cotton candy (even though I do like licorice and anise). I guess I could see this on a man, but personally I picture this more on a woman since it's such a yummy, candy smell. Even my husband likes it on me. He said I smell delicious! Women, don't be afraid! Give this one a try. It's soooo yummy!

I am SHOCKED that people are paying that much for this! As previous posters stated, I got mine for like $15! I'm soooo glad I got it when I did. I actually swapped this away and then bought it again a few months later (in like 2013). It's such an amazing scent! All the discontinued Aquolina scents (esp. Blue Sugar, Chocolovers) were under-appreciated in their time and now people are realizing how awesome they were! I love that this scent is so unisex. On me it starts off as licorice cotton candy, and then the cedar is VERY prominent in the drydown (although present from the beginning in some amount). It smells sooo good!

Che profumo! UNICO apre forte con la nota centrale di liquirizia, seguito da una lieve nota agrumata che in un attimo lascia spazio ad un pizzico di anice stellato che lo rende un po’ vispo, ma la sua caratteristica unica è il cotton candy (zucchero filato) che lo accompagna per tutta la sua longevità,molto ampia al punto di superare abbondantemente le 12 ore. Ripeto unico, unico perchè questo è un profumo con un'identità ben definita indifferentemente se possa piacere o meno. Personalmente penso che i profumi accompagnino la vita delle persone e come tale lo vedo perfetto dai 16 anni fino massimo ai 25. 8/10

Considering everyone I know doesn't categorize their food to men and women, it'd be kind of ridiculous to do so with scents. :P This is the perfect 'male' cotton candy fragrance, but no scent realistically has a gender associated with it. If you spray it on fresh after a shower, you'll get the more prominent cotton candy notes. If you spray it on after being out a few hours/later at night it might give off more of the star anise/licorice smell. Lightly misting also gives more of a cotton candy effect. Either way, it's perfect if you want a more 'mature' sweet spun sugar fragrance.

I have to admit, when I first smelled this one I didn't like it. Mind you I own Angel Men and Rochas Man, so I enjoy a sweet gourmand. But for some reason this one was different and I wasn't too convinced. I did however give it a second try and sprayed it on myself like I would normally spray a cologne rather than on my hand and that's when I REALLY enjoyed it. I could smell hints of it the next day on my sweater and it smelled so good. Hints of it here and there. For the price, it's not bad to throw in your collection. Definitly try it out before you buy.

I got my hands on this back in 2012 when it was around 18$ I see as of now the price has went up on this bad boy I'm glad I got 2 bottles and out of all the colonges I got in my collection this one stands out on my skin at first in get a cotton candy smell and then it dries down into a birthday cake smell with the cotton candy in the background its a great night out scent I put this as my most daring scent I have received complements for this cologne needless to say this is gonna stay in my collection for a very long time I love this cologne.
