Touch of Pink

This is one of my fragrances I get most compliments from both women and men. One day, after I just sprayed this, one of my colleauges inhaled whole air, commented the place smelled very good and this fragrance suited me very well. This represents its name nicely and smells pinky, that means for me, sweet fruity floral, clean musky. Before I saw the notes, I couldn’t tell what they were. Lacoste Touch of Pink might be a sweeter and softer version of Lancome Miracle. If I speak about longevity, this doesn’t stay much on my skin. I wish the brand would have produced edp version. I remember smelling Touch of Pink for the first time. I was in high school, there was a friend of mine who was sitting in front of me in classroom. One day she took a bottle out from her bag and sprayed it. When the scent spread out through the air and reached to my nose, I was like “omg I’ve never smelled something like this before’’. I asked her what she just sprayed. She told me that was a new gift from her boyfriend (such a tasteful boy) and she described as a new Lacoste fragrance with pink bottle. She didn’t care for the name. From that moment, every time she sprayed this in class I asked for spraying too (graceless behavior of mine 🤭), until one day she advised me to buy a bottle or find a boyfriend to buy this for me if I loved the fragrance that much (that hurt). Dear Muni, I listened your advise and bought it years later by myself. Probably she doesn’t use and like this anymore, but I still love it and has a special place in my collection.

Post-script: As per previous reviews, this scent can become boring in the sense that I often do not notice that I'm wearing it. It isn't the sort of scent you revel in wearing, smelling yourself periodically and moaning "yummmm" HOWEVER for what it is, it is perfect. What it is is a cost-effective scent that is neither generic nor a total stand-out. It is for after the gym or curling up on the couch. It is for the office, business meetings, clubbing: for mixed company, for smelling good without smelling attention-seeking. This is not a special-occasion nor is it all about personality. This is a very surprisingly appealing pleasant smell which is neither a snowflake nor a clone. It is smelling different from the pack but not too different to blend into the olfactory community. I also think it is a very qualified back-up singer that compliments more expensive perfumes in the manner of a chameleon, saving you the expense of dousing yourself with more expensive parfum/edp-complimentary colognes, body mists, or edt's. Please do not make this your only scent. That isn't it's role. It is a fresh addition to a parfumista's arsenal. I endorse it but not as I might endorse L'Artisan Parfumeur or Guerlain. This is not in that master-class. This is in the Clinique Happy/Calvin Klein family and, for that heritage, it is a child-prodigy.

This is one of the very few fragrances that I keep on repurchasing every time I’ve used up my previous bottle. Even though it is “aimed at younger audiences” - and as a cheerful, clean and energetic scent, is well suited for that - it isn’t overly juvenile nor cheap smelling. In fact, as freshies haven’t been much à la mode recently, I could bet on that this is currently more used by women in their 20’s or 30’s than actual teenagers and if it had been put on a more luxurious looking bottle and sold as Lancome or Dior, with a price point to match no one would consider it as childish. It is by no means unique or groundbreaking scent, but it is fresh, pleasant, well balanced, not completely one-dimensional and I’ve received a lot of compliments wearing it. It has probably the best quality price ratio out of any fragrance that I’ve ever come by. Sillage and longevity are moderate, but not weak, which is fitting for a daytime freshie scent. I’ve tried and owned many citrusy-florals by more upscale brands and actually prefer this over most of them. I wouldn’t wear this for nighttime or a formal event, but it is and is likely to remain as one of my favorites for work and leisure whenever I just want to smell nice and wear something that is fresh and uplifting, but not shrieky.

This is a very nice, super girly watery woodsy floral with slight undertones of citrus. It's not fruity woody floral in a CK Euphoria deep, rich sexy-mysterious type of way though, it's more of an aquatic, fresh clean just got out of the shower fruity woody floral. If you love VS perfumes like Bombshell, Victoria, Very Sexy etc you will love this. It's one of those perfumes you can put on to feel refreshed and clean yet girly and beautiful. However, it does kind of remind me of this drugstore perfume by the brand The Healing Garden. Anyone remember that from middle school lol? Anyway, if you can find it for a deep discount definitely get it but otherwise you can probably find an inexpensive alternative (Personally I bought a 0.5 oz bottle from ebay for $10 free shipping, since I think a tiny amount will last me a while). The lasting power is pretty good and I feel like the scent really radiates well and just uplifts my mood when I wear it. I think it smells best when sprayed on clothes. It gives me this sort of confidence that very few other fragrances do surprisingly!

this is one of the few perfumes where i can detect almost all of the individual notes. which i'm not sure is a good or bad thing. the notes don't seem to 'blend' together well to create a nice smooth fragrance. rather, it's TOO sharp at first, then mellows down to TOO floral, then dries down to TOO much vanilla. in the drydown, there's still the floral lingering, so it smells very "pink". as others have mentioned, it is a very very synthetic scent. one of the most synthetic i've tried, but that doesn't mean it straight up stinks! :) i won't lie.. i bought it because the bottle and name was so appealing to me ( i was in high school at the time, if that says anything. hehe ) it's become my signature scent today because i've been wearing it for over 5 years so it's just a part of me now lol. overall, a nice plastic-y synthetic floral that's not horrible, but nothing too fantastic either. definitely not worth the price tag, so try to get it at a discount store if you can
