Pink Sugar Red Velvet

Something about this one smells 2x better than the OG Cotton Candy Pink Sugar. Although this smells similar to pink sugar by a lot this one smells much more softer and less annoying. The red velvet Pink sugar has a little strawberry/cherry scent as well and when it sit on the skin after a while it starts to smell creamy and warm which I like. The best I can describe this scent is like a creamy strawberry/cherry coughdrop or those hard strawberry candies your grandma would give you. I bought this one to give to my mom since I heard it smells less childlike but my mom likes the original pink sugar more so I gave her that one instead. I actually like this one more so I’m glad she took the other one lol. I will say that when I spray it on my clothes it smells much stronger like the original pink sugar but when I spray it on my skin it smells like creamy strawberries and soft. So my chemistry must go with this one more. I would say spray it on your clothes if you want it to last longer. Having two at the same time isn’t necessary, I would just say test them both out and keep the one you like more because they are different but somewhat the same. I also get a lot of compliments wearing this one.

This beautiful fragrance smells about 90% the same as the original Pink Sugar except it is even *sweeter*, which I never thought was possible, and the base is a bit creamier, more ice cream-like. Besides the aforementioned, the difference lies in the strawberry opening note which fades just way too quickly. It would be fair to mention this flanker smells more artificial/plasticky as well, especially so in the opening. It's never bothered me about Pink Sugar, but for this one reason I wouldn't necessarily consider it an improvement over the original. The rest is practically identical, it even has the same polarizing licorice/burnt sugar DNA I personally can't get enough of. For someone looking for novelty within the PS line this is a pass - but for those wishing to take the sweetness up a notch or just to collect them all, this is great value for money. Performance-wise they're both stellar, potent and lasting as perfume should be, and both are delightful in equal measure. Acquiring the original Pink Sugar brought me a lot of joy back in the day, comparable only to finding my signature scent and now also this flanker. I'm glad it exists.

This flanker of the original Pink Sugar Aquolina has the same strong vanilla. similar to the original, but the differences are in the finer details. I agree with the reviewer below that it's a lot like the OG Pink Sugar + Red Velvet Calgon. The overall effect for me at the start is the icing of a red velvet cupcake, but as it dries down you get the cake a bit more. I was wondering if I would get a faint hint of the chocolate/cocoa powder that's in a red velvet cake (even though it's not listed), but not so much. There may be a faint milk-chocolate quality to the vanilla however, and the ambrettolide in the dry down has a slight roughness that resembles the crumb of a cake. If you enjoy the original, you would probably enjoy this too. It has good performance on me - similar to the original. It's also great for layering with other scents, and the possibilities here are endless. It's a love for me. Enjoy!

Out of Pink Sugar and the other flankers I've tried so far (Berry Blast & Creamy Sunshine), this one is my favorite! To my nose it's Pink Sugar with a little artificial grape and a touch of animalic fur (like from a clean cat or rabbit). An interesting combination, but something about it is very addictive. I've never gone through a bottle of anything faster in my life! Still, I can understand why it might not appeal to everyone, and I wouldn't consider this or any Pink Sugar fragrance to be blind safe buy. The OG Pink Sugar is right behind this in my rankings followed by, Berry Blast, then Creamy Sunshine in last place. I want to try ALL of the ones that are still available if I get the chance, and find them at an affordable price. I really enjoy these, but I'm not willing to splurge to get them or go out of my way to find them.

I have the original and upon first spritz into the air I was like OMG no it smells like grape cough syrup what did I do......but then I stopped myself and I was like OK... spray it on your skin before making a final decision here. I'm quite glad I did. So, I actually like this better than the original. This smells like cake batter once it dries down but the first initial spray is almost a strawberry synthetic candy. My coworker hates it on herself it stays very syrup grapey on her, where as on myself I get straight cake/whipped cream &strawverry/ powder sugar. Try on your skin before blind smelling lol, my initial reaction was ew but I love it. This just to me has something the original lacks, the original just never felt like it lived up to what I hoped it almost fell flat, this is a better version if you ask me.
