Simply Pink by Pink Sugar

I've been in love with pink sugar since it was released 10 years ago. I've had the real deal, samples, dupes, and smelt many things trying to impersonate it's character. Pink Sugar is really something else, I've noticed this silly little fragrance getting some growing respect over the years because as strange of a fragrance as it is, it really holds it's own. I didn't have high hopes for simply pink, simply because it was supposed to be less. Less for me usually doesn't mean better, especially with gourmands. I was still eager to try though and sprayed the top of one of my fingerless gloves. When I first smelled simply pink I was floored. Simply pink is just done right! The top notes delivered me a sugary punch of 3 of my favorite notes. Green leaves, almonds, and raspberry. Wow. That really shook up my senses in a pleasant way, just holding the simply pink bottle I was expecting that all too familiar licorice but it was just totally gone, poof! The floral heart is pretty and nice, imagine walking through trees filled with white petals showering on you. The bottom is really nice! A strawberry pink praline?! Unusual, still very sweet and lovely. The licorice vanilla helps the fragrance smell more like the old pink sugar at the dry down. Overall I was just sniff, sniff hooraying with my glove all the way home. Best of all my glove smelt like simply pink all the next day and it was the best smelling drives to school ever. The even better best of all you can still smell a bit of the top notes even till the end, and for me this was so important because the top notes are my very favorite! I encourage all pink sugar and non-pink sugar lovers to try. Simply pink is still somewhat similar to pink sugar but packing a lot less of a punch. Simply pink is simply pretty! I am head over heels for that green leaf, almond, raspberry combo. I've had a good run with pink sugar, 10 years of loyalty, but simply pink has me switching sides to try something different. Very pleased with aquolina once again.

I typically don't wear sweet fragrances given their capacity to induce migraines. This spring, sweet/fruity/floral scents are all I want to wear. If you already have Animale Love (which came out in 2012), you don't need to buy Simply Pink (came out in 2013), or vice versa. They're similar despite their different notes. Based on all the reviews I read, I'm glad I settled for Gold Sugar and Simply Pink and decided against Pink Sugar. I'm not crazy about the cotton candy note and prefer to not wear such a sugary fragrance. I absolutely love Simply Pink. I received it in the mail today and couldn't wait to try it. Unlike Animale Love, Simply Pink has berry, vanilla, and almond notes, so it opens juicy, sweet, and floral with soft citrusy notes. It also has a clean, sweet, creamy dry drown where the berry, almond, and vanilla notes dominate. The licorice note in Simply Pink is fortunately not that strong (for me) since I've never liked the licorice note. This is basically a very well balanced and pleasant fragrance. Longevity and sillage are moderate, so use a light hand to avoid the headaches that come with over-spraying sweet scents. The cylindrical perfume box looks and feels cheap (as is the case with Gold Sugar). The flanker itself is okay, nothing remarkable there. This is a safe blind-buy and I can tell I'll be reaching for it often. I can see myself wearing this (and Gold Sugar) throughout the year, not just in Spring and Summer. UPDATE I finally broke down and bought the original Pink Sugar. Contrary to my review above, I absolutely love it. More than any of the frags in this line and Animale. I plan to purchase the other frags in this line assuming they are still available.

A great dessert! Simply Pink by Pink Sugar Aquolina-Italian style-100ml. It opens with the freshness of a green note and juicy bergamot with a little bit of almond, then we move into a flower garden with an outstanding jasmine in the background of white flowers, and finally mmmm ... a great trumpet in a duet with raspberry poured with vanilla bourbon sauce with a pinch of liquorice and an addition sweet chocolates in one big cup, mmmm .. the best dessert this winter Italians could not give me! This dessert has no age or sex allowed for everyone, I think and I know that it will taste at any time of the year, whether on a sandy beach during holidays, in a clutch bag at an evening party or on your fur during a winter night stroll. Wrap, refresh and heat! Choose Italian dessert and enjoy the sweetness and pamper your senses throughout the year. Be free and alluring! Another Aqoulin pearl, strong durability and unisex type. Blessed! yummy! EDIT.The enchanting and magical effect of this dessert begins after about 1 hour, and on the second day my scarf smelled even more where I can smell chocolates and vanilla. The smell is magical and enigmatic, the sweet smell with a hint of piquancy that gives the effect of sparkling and not bland, quite different from the sister Pink Sugar. <3 I feel very good in him. The type of beast as I left Sugar in the series. scent 9/10 very long lasting scent. Power!

Another blind buy which i'm glad i bought it yet i never regret and sure will repeat. A gorgeous scent in a simple pink frosted bottle. I bought it at fragranceX at very cheap price and it was a tester. I dont need the fancy box (though the box/canister seems so nice) since it is my own collection. So after 5 days waiting this gem delivered to me in Malaysia. Finally, the await is over. I bought 2 Aquolina Sugar range (that was the only stock they have at that time). I bought pink sugar and simply sugar (both are tester). The pink sugar, from the noz you already can smell the sweetness which is i loveeeeeeeeee so much. So i decided to try simply pink first bcoz i can't smell it from it's noz. I push the noz very tender and gentle... yeaahh i dont want to ruin this baby ahahaha since it is new unused tester unit. So i spritz 1 time. Then the fun started to begin... zesty, delicious, fresh, a bit citrusy in a nice way.. it is so berries flavor... then within an hour the floraly-sweet takes its role... you can smell sweet flavor but not to sugary... it is more vanilla... sweet but not to overpowering. And it stays for hours till reaches the dry down... super nice. I cant tell yet which one i prefer between pink sugar or simply pink. Since both has similiarities but different sensation. Later will update my review...

I'm very happy with this delicious fragrance! I tend to like all the Aquolina fragrance line and have loved Pink Sugar for years. This one, is very similar - but the differences are noteworthy. Anyone who likes Pink Sugar, but doesn't like that stronger 'burnt sugar' note are going to love this. It's like Pink Sugar, with the 'in your face' qualities removed. I especially wanted to try it because I love strawberry and raspberry in anything and this definitely doesn't disappoint! The fruitiness is great, but is well balanced by the other notes. From the composition, you might think it's only something teens could wear, but I think this could go for any age. It has a great sweetness, but doesn't feel overly young to me. A much better fragrance than something like 'Viva La Juicy' - which to me just screams 'young teenage girl'. Not as long-lasting as the original Pink Sugar - mostly because it's just a softer scent to begin with - but I got my bottle for $18.00 on Ebay - so at that price I can spray as often as I need to :)
