Big Pink Bow

Hello Kitty's Big Pink Bow is a sexy summer party dress of a perfume. It's unapologetically a sweet tropical gourmand, ready for some fun. It opens with a candied pineapple; the coconut and vanilla are also front and center. The pineapple relaxes into a tropical white floral blend. I see that gardenia has the most votes above, but the four tropical flowers are not very distinct to me... if anything my vote would go to the honeysuckle. The coconut and vanilla remain more prominent than the white flowers all the way through the drydown, long after the pineapple has disappeared. I don't smell plastic or vinyl, but if I inhale deeply there is a thin leather note in the drydown, serving as an anchor. Big Pink Bow's bottle is deceptive. You might dismiss it as a fruity punchbowl targeted for teens, but it is actually one of the sexiest perfumes in my collection. It blends with my skin so well, that I cannot believe how gorgeous it is, every time I wear it. That said, it is quite rich. I would not be able to wear it several days in a row. To me, it is a special occasion perfume, perfect for a fun outdoor party. P.S. Big Pink Bow is hard to find now. There were a few flankers produced with similar packaging. This version has a pink bottle or rollerball with a gold head.

I bought three 1.7 oz bottles! It smells amazing! The coconut and pineapple are quite prominent, the leather i smell faintly. This is very much a sweet gourmand fragrance! The lasting power is impressive.

The bottle looks so cute I really want to try it.

Yes, it smells like VLJ in the beginning but the dry down is not the same at all. I actually get the pineapple and coconut in the base of the perfume not the top. The floral aspect goes away completely and you're left with a totally tropical scent. The sweetness remains the entire time too.

This smells kind of like Victoria's Secrets Noir Tease (which I love).
