Pink 2001

Well I had gone through a bottle of this stuff pretty quickly which is something strange for me as I rarely ever finish any perfume I own, and 75ml in a just a little over 4 months is a record for me...it was so easy to wear, even when I'm not in the mood for fragrances. Some days I get really sensitive to smells, especially when the weather gets so hot, I just start getting sick alot throughout these hellish desert summers...and this is the only scent I can stomach...seriously, even those fruity/tropical summer scents could make me feel nauseous. But this is such a pretty green-floral, watery, mild, and completely void of sugar, fruit or any sharp citrus note, no bitter tea, all of which are notes you tend to find in many other 'summer' scents that I tire off quickly. It's fresh-out-of-the-shower stuff but without any synthetic/chemical/clean-laundry vibe you tend to find in many clean scents. No soapy vibe or annoying muskiness (I usually love musk, but not when it's boiling hot outside) either. I got alot compliments on it too, people simply love this one, so refreshing. Sillage is soft to moderate and longevity is pretty good for a light scent (~7 hours). I have not been feeling very well lately and I am craving this one again. I don't know how the repackaged version smells like (according to reviews, it's the same), but it's not to hard to find this version where I'm at. Oh, and I agree that this is a softer Miracle (which I also love), with soothing green notes in place of Miracle's spices and litchi.

I wore this all the time in high school...never thought twice about swapping it out for any other scent at the time. My best guy friend said it smelled like "something an older woman would wear, but not in a bad way" (by that he meant older than HS, but not something your grandma would wear) and my best gf said it smelled too sour on HER. I started to second guess myself thinking maybe it wasn't the most lovable fragrance for everyone and played around with others for the past few years. Then last night I was going through my VS treasure box gift set with the 8 mini bottles and thought for old times sake I would spritz some on before work. 1. Smells green, CLEAN, and fresh on me. 2. My husband complimented it immediately 3. Not too sharp, not too citrus 4. Great lasting power. 5. I realized I probably was slightly ahead of my time wearing this in high school...but its perfect now. This perfume truly is all about the body chemistry. Either it works for you or it doesn't. I'll be re-upping with a full sized bottle ASAP

FYI- I am most familiar with the 2001 version of this perfume, so my ratings and review will be based off of that. I am not opposed to trying newer versions if and when I encounter them, though. When I was in high school, I got a small conical bottle of this as a free gift when I bought some of Victoria Secret’s lotions. I liked it, but I wasn’t as into it as I was Cool Water and the EDT version of Hugo Woman, so it fell by the wayside. I rediscovered it after college; I wanted something fresh and citrusy to wear to work without using up my Cool Water. Unfortunately during that time I wasn’t as knowledgeable as I am now about storing perfumes properly; due to being stored in a bedroom closet on a poorly insulated external wall, it was exposed to fluctuations in temperature. This, along with it being used infrequently, led to it going rancid and me having to toss it. Looking back, I wish I’d worn this scent more. It was a cheery, bright scent that did a great job of lifting the workday blahs without being too bold.

I love this so very much! It’s disappointing that I don’t get to wear it often anymore since it’s been discontinued, especially since I’ve been wearing it for about 20 years. Such a pretty, fresh, bright, crisp, flirty and fun green floral fragrance with a musky vanilla base! I’ve always found something kind of sexy about this fragrance too. As much as I love the vanillas and gourmands that are popular now, the OG Pink will always be something really special and beautiful to me! It is basically the opposite of the sweet gourmands. It’s bright, fresh, and fun! It’s dewy, green, bright freesia, a little citrusy, and clean white florals. As it dries down the musk, vanilla, sandalwood, and vetiver become more prominent, but it’s still bright and fresh. I’ve always gotten really great longevity with this, it lasts the entire day. The projection is nice too, it radiates out about an arm’s length from me. When I use the lotion with the perfume I can still smell it the next day!

I found accidentally a new perfume store close to my house during my X-mas vacations. I wanted to buy a perfume for my mother and I ended up buying one for me too, Pink by VS. Tell me crazy but I haven't owned any VS perfume till now cause there are thousands out there. They make editions with only one note in each body of the perfume (top-middle-base) so it would take me years to find one I could fall in love and it would last on me too. This perfume is heavenly pink! If I could describe it, it would be fresh, warm, a bit floral and fruity sweet. There's a strawberry/sugary/vanilla sweetness, combined with white fresh floral notes and a nice addictive deepness. The green notes give an aromatic crispy character that I love. It was love from first smell and I hadn't experienced the same feeling for a long time. It's inches away to be called perfume for younger crowds but can you believe that they sell it from 125-250$ as you can't find it anymore? Check it and try it!

Beautiful! This fragrance smells so floral and fresh. In my opinion it needs to be relaunched by Victorias Secret and put in a more stylized bottle. It appears to be marketed towards a younger teen high school crowd but when you smell the scent it feels like it should be marketed for women in their 20s to 30s. While the fragrance smells very youthful and fresh, something about it is very mature. If anyone did a blind buy just judging by the bottle you'd guess that it'd have some sort of generic plasticky bubblegum fruity smell to it. That's what I guessed but when you spritz it it smells like flowers. On top of that it smells better than a great deal of other VS perfumes (and that is saying a lot since VS has good perfumes).

This is a nice fragrance, clean, fresh, watery, abit green, abit floral, delicate. It's like the perfume equivalent of the 'no-make-up look' make up that's just supposed to make you look naturally fresh-faced and pretty. This is the one to reach for on days you're not in the mood to wear those statement making perfumes. It's perfect for the office, casual first dates, running errands, etc. It's effortless. Every girl needs a scent like this. I've been feeling really 'out of it' lately, depressed, not myself, and not in the mood for perfumes...'Pink' and 'Fancy Love' are the only scents I can tolerate at the moment.

I wore this in high school and would probably own a bottle if it were still in production. This was such a refreshing, beautiful, and UNIQUE scent. I've never smelled anything that really comes close to this. And just looking at the notes, I would never expect it to smell so amazing. Anyway, I used up at least one full bottle of this. And as with the experience of another review, I haven't used up very many bottles of perfume since, as I tend to get tired of them before reaching the end. That said, I miss this perfume horribly. Please bring this back, Victoria's Secret!!

A delightful summer fragrance! I can actually smell the juniper berries in this perfume and this charming note stays throughout the dry down. From there it is definitely a green floral with the exciting green notes presiding. Artemisia, bergamot and neroli settle in and mix well with the lily-of-the-valley, sandalwood and vetiver. The scent lingers for at least six hours and does not overwhelm you or those around you. I think Pink is a stand-out amongst the other “floral-fruities” and “oriental-florals” in the V.S. fragrance collection.

Wearing this pretty one all day, I felt compelled to write about it...Pink is one of my go to scents in regular rotation. My review is for the perfume version. I find this fragrance to be a rather lush and grown up fruity floral arrangement that is long lasting and IMHO very fresh indeed. Pink does deserve it's name! It "feels" pink actually.If it were a color it would be a soft, beautiful shade of shimmering peachy pastel rose. To me, this perfume is intoxicating.

Typical Victoria Secret fragrance but I love it. This has something deeper than the current VS fragrances. It appeared around the same time as OG’s like Heavenly. Before or after. I still have half a bottle and use it every Spring and Summer. It has lasted a very long time considering I received this at first release. I think of pink when I spray it on. It has something a bit too green floral though.

I miss this! Could go through bottles of it as a daily scent. It was so fresh citrus in a zesty way with a fruity floral tone. Lasting power was good. One of those pretty girl scents as someone walks by. Even in my teens and early 20’s I rarely went through full bottles. This was an exception. Wish VS hadn’t changed it and then discontinued. Bright Crystal has been my only near replacement.

This is the second time that i got this perfume, its still one of my favorite VS scents, its less sweet than most my perfumes (im a lot into vanilla and chocolate! lol) but its still sweet, fruity and fresh. The first time i got it was fall and i couldnt wait to wear it in the spring and summer, now i finally can! What a lovely girlie scent :)

the first time i smelled it with my friend, i thought its a bit sweet and wont last that long. but then, she gave me a bottle and let me try it. it smells so good as the time passes. and i can certainly agree that this scent could last long! i enjoyed it. its very girly, citrusy and fresh!

I just got this in a set of 8 VS perfumes (Ultimate Treasures), its one of my favorites in the set, very girly, not too heavy, floral and fruity. Best for day or early evening, spring or summer. I think I might wear it even now in the fall though, it's going to remind me of spring :)

this is my favorite VS perfume. i wear this one when i want to feel girly and flirty. not overwhelming at all. citrusy, fresh and a little sweet. i think every woman should have this in her collection. i like wearing Pink during daytime. i wish it lasts a little longer though.

This was my signature scent in 2002-2003. Every time I got close to the end I bought a new bottle. Now every time I smell it I remember when my ex husband and I were planning our wedding and it puts a smile on my face.

This fragrance is how I lured my husband. Very girly and flirty. I get nostalgic when I smell it to our first dates. He still can identify that particular scent out of all my others.

I used to hate this! The first time I smelled this, it smelled like lipstick and makeup bag. But I guess it grew on me cause now I love it. It's one of my signatures.

PINK is my first VS perfume and for me- it's unique, flirty and girly. Very pleasant and it's been around for years, obviously it's one of Vs bestsellers.

This perfume is so unique and addictive! It's the type of fragrance that lasts forever and never loses it's taste.

Has anyone found a perfume that is even close to the VS Pink 2001?

it is very nice smell and not softy but clean and fresh

I like it , ilove this parfume

Where have you been all my life?? I think this one is already discontinued? (breaks my heart). I got this fragrance through a lady who sells it at like, $10 only (a great steal, I know!!), since she's destashing some of her perfumes. I did not know what to expect with this - but I just relied on some reviews here, saying this is a floral green. But oh my, little did I know this would be my signature scent. I've been in the lookout for a signature scent. I don't know what I like to find, but I prefer scents that are light and are greenish floral (fresh). I also want a perfume that is NOT one-dimensional; I want something that has a different heart and drydown scents. And this one got that all. (I wanna make Lanvin's Eclat my signature scent before I got this. This reminds me of it - but they are not the same! Lanvin is more green-ish in my opinion, and this one is the pink-ish one, lol. Plus, many ladies I know, already wears Eclat so nope.... ). At first spray (my least favorite part), it comes out smelling strong. But please, do not let that fool you. It actually smells like Estee Lauder Pleasures on first spray (which I did not like), but after settling down for 2-3 minutes, the heart notes come out! And ugh! I cannot explain it well. Is that peony? Is that how peonies smell coz now, I'm gonna be on the lookout for perfumes with peonies as main notes - because wow, that smells heavenly!! The drydown is just as lovely. Kinda powdery vanilla. Not the kind of vanilla that makes you wanna retch. I do not know of a scent that smells like this. And that's what I'm looking for! I cannot stop sniffing my wrists. I did not know that a Victoria's Secret perfume would be my signature scent, but hell yeah, I'm loving this. (Downside: I want to treasure it until the last drop. Hope I find someone who sells this once I got this emptied. :( ) P.S. People say that this is for high school girls, though I beg to disagree. I'm a 27 year old working woman, and this one is just perfect for me. :) EDIT: I GOT BORED WITH THIS. :'( NOT EXCITED TO WEAR IT LIKE THE FIRST TIME I DID.

I count myself very lucky in my fragrance journey that this was my first introduction to perfume ownership. I was gifted this fragrance by a cousin who is ten years older than me and close like a big brother. He bought me this when I was in junior high with his first month's salary after graduation. Prior to this I had smelt my mom's perfumes and all of them were very mature to my nose and my age at the time. So I naturally I associated perfumes with maturity. Something that is only relevant to adults. Now looking back I am thankful that my cousin got me this fragrance that was age appropriate for me at the time and such a lovely scent. This is MY first fragrance that I owned a full bottle of and I remember enjoying it to its last drops. This was a fragrance that was beautiful from the top notes to the base, and from its first ever spray to its last. Now having owned many bottles, I really think this is what proper fragrance ownership should be. I want to wholeheartedly enjoy the fragrances for THEIR entire lifespan. Later on in my life I owned and experimented with a few other bottles that were less thoroughly good experiences. And I knew they were not good because my first ever bottle set the bar very high, and as it should be. I will forever remember this fragrance with a smile.

I used to own and really like this perfume - it got a lot of wear when I was in college. I remember it being a very green floral, a little sharp if overdone, but overall lovely and feminine and clean. I thought it was a great day to day fragrance. I guess it must have been discontinued sometime along the line, though I couldn't tell you when. After I finished my first bottle I never felt the need to buy another. It looks like the Pink perfume might be making a comeback, though. While browsing the website I found a perfume with the name Pink with these details: "Flirtatious and bright, our original PINK fragrance has a fresh new look but doesn't forget its roots. An irresistible blend of mandarin, neroli flower and peony. Fragrance Type: Fresh Notes: Mandarin, neroli flower and peony" By all rights this looks like the original fragrance, just in new packaging. @scout, I wonder if this is the fragrance you saw?? I will be curious to see if the new perfume smells similar to the original!

Pink is a wonderful surprise. Me and florals don't always get along, but this one is unique. Although the juniper berries and artemisia aren't very noticeable, I believe they balance the freesia and sweet florals very, very well. If you don't like freesia, you may not like this one, but I happen to love the freesia notes. There's a slight soapy scent as another reviewer mentioned, but it's soapy is the best clean and freshly laundered way possible. Overall, pink is light, fresh, refreshing, flirty and young. There's nothing serious about this fragrance, it's full of levity. Ideal for a young girl or anyone who is young at heart. It's inoffensive and delightfully sweet. The lasting power is surprisingly good. I'm not totally surposed that Vs could develop a nice commercial fragrance with wide appeal, after all they have plenty of funds and outstanding brand power. Superb for daytime and warm-weather wear. Perfect for making one feel flirty and happy. ;)

Victoria's Secret PINK is a light, clean but not soapy, slightly fruity but not sweet, green floral fragrance with excellent staying power in the edp. There is no true development on my skin, but the overall combination of the interesting green, fruity, and floral elements is quite harmonious--so much so that I find it difficult to tease out even the stronger of the individual notes, such as juniper. The vanilla is so light as to be undetectable and the musk remains clean. This is a well-constructed fragrance, albeit hardly a chef-d'oeuvre. PINK seems well-suited for everyday use in the summertime: inoffensive and pleasant, fresh and green but with no sharpness or bitterness at all.

I received Pink along with the lotion as a bridesmaid in a friends wedding 5 years ago. I thought it was a cute gift since pink was one of the colors from the wedding. When I first sprayed it, I thought wow, this is strong and floral...I am kinda picky about florals and felt it was a little over done, but I usually give perfumes a few chances before I dismiss them and I grew to enjoy it. I see the notes above that it has freesia and peony and I have always loved those scents. I would be disappointed if they have changed it because I would love to buy it and reminese. Oh and it does smell like I feel the color pink would smell like lol...

ok, confession time. I picked up a tester-type size of this to test one day while buying some undies in 2001. I wore it later that weekend and my boyfriend went absolutely bananas for it. I mean, crazy. I preferred Miracle as my signature but if we went out, I knew to put on PINK. A year went by and we split up, and I hadn't touched it again. I recently popped into VS to sniff around and found this. Did a test and it is not like it used to be. It's a bit more "powdery" now? And the peony smells cheap. Would be curious to know about reformulations and such. The bottle I had from 2001 was tall and slender and conical/pyramid in shape.

I admit the first time I tried this I didn't care for it. Later I passed by someone wearing it and had to re-think it! So I tried it again with the thought that it had smelled great on the other gal (weird I know but sometimes that's what it takes). I generally share rainydays thoughts on green perfumes. Pink is green and sharp, but it has enough floral notes to stay light pretty & feminine, and boy does it smell great on a breeze! I think it's going to be a great scent for a hot summer day and I can't wait to try it! Ah, summer is just around the corner...

I really like this. It is a floral fresh yet creamy scent. something about it evokes the feeling you get when you moisturize freshly shaven legs. it reminds me of the pump moisturizers you can get at the drugstore. To me it is a very lovely peony - lily of the valley - freesia musk. This is perfect for spring casual dresses. Romantic yet active. Very bright and happy. It is a little sporty too and would be good after working out. Could be good with pink Nike gear for example. Really nice for sunny active days.

I owned a bottle of this my senior year in college. I miss those days when perfumes were all unctuous and concentrated regardless of their category. I took it for granted back then but now I'd totally own the original pink green floral with a musky vanilla bottom. Love Express uses musk and vanilla at the base and it's so pleasing to me plus those notes make the scent last 8 hours. With many perfumes today you get an hour of projection and two to three hours max if I put my nose up to my skin.

Despite the fragrance being marketed to mostly teens, it's a very sophisticated and mature scent to my nose. The juniper note is prominent to me and finding a women's scent this cheap with a good juniper note that still smells like a woman's scent is quite an accomplishment. The violet leaf is nice as well. The citrus keeps the florals light and fresh, it is a perfect pick-me-up scent. Very energizing but soft at the same time -- the citrus is never sharp.

According to the notes I should love this, however I just 'like' this fragrance (not love but like). On me this actually has a good degree of staying power and is pleasent enough. I get the violet leaf and musk come out more on my skin and would definitely class it as a light green floral which seems to retain the same smell from start to finish. Non-offensive, safe and doesn't make me sneeze, however as others have mentioned the packaging could be better.

I remember this one omg all I could smell was freesia & peony on overload! lol and did it last on me (it also caused occasional headaches when I would wear it. It was a pretty floral scent that I found overbearing. My grandma got me a bottle for Christmas the year it came out and for some reason this scent reminds me of her whenever I smell my bottle...wich I will admit I don't wear this anymore but I keep it for sentimental reasons.

I used to have this. It reminded me of Body by Victoria but less boring, and a good compromise with my now-husband. Body by Victoria is the only fragrance of mine he genuinely liked. Although it's a light fragrance, Pink is very distinctive and pungent. I don't know if my body chemistry changed or if I simply outgrew the fragrance, but I eventually got sick of it. I blame the juniper.

this is an extremely floral scent, so if you're not into that...this will NOT be for you. nonetheless, every time i wear this i get compliments. it's a scent that guys always seem to notice. i like this, but i don't love it. i prefer to wear this casually, to school or work. i do enjoy it, but it's not my all time fave. those around me seem to love and notice it more than i do!

VS Pink is a balance of floral, citrus, a hint of sweetness, and an aquatic note. Lasting power is poor, only about 1-2 hours on me; but I get a mood lift anytime I have to reapply so it's not so bad (except on the wallet if you have to keep resupplying). I have a feeling VS isn't going to keep this around forever, but 10 years and counting is a good run for this scent.

My best friend gave me an old bottle of Pink, so it's not a scent I would have chosen for myself, but I use it on occasion. As with all of the Vicky's perfumes, it's not the longest-lasting, but it does have a nice, sharp floral scent. VS overprices all of their perfumes, so I wouldn't buy it, but hey, it was a nice hand-me-down.

I have a small bottle of this. Citrus-y, sweet, and fresh. I smell a little bit of pepper as well for some reason. The shape of the bottle reminds me of a martini--it's cute and fun. Smells as it should and as I remember it. Some days I smell lemon. Not sure I'll be sad once it's all used up.

This fragrance is light and fun, just like the PINK brand. It opens with a citrus-y scent, much like grapefruit (my all time favorite note). The only issue I have is that it doesn't last very long. I have to reapply every few hours. Otherwise, I love the smell and the price!

I agree that this is green more than floral as well. It smells alot like Body by Victoria or Avon's Haiku. The only notes that comes through clearly for me are bergamot and lily of the valley, and yet, it's still a green fragrance. Not original, but fresh and youthful.

Victoria Secret Pink is a bright green floral. Top notes of fragrant peony and neroli flower with a light fruity scent of artemisia. A hint of freesia and lily of the valley with a dry down of sandalwood, musk, vetiver, and vanilla. A fun and flirty fragrance!

This smells more green to me than pink. This is floral, wrapped up in green leaves. The violet leaf really is dominant on my skin, and the florals take a backseat. I don't find this sweet at all, and I only smell a faint citrus at the very beginning.

Scout: I think it is the size of the bottles thas is different and not the scent itself. I have this perfume both as 75ml and 7,5ml. And the 7,5ml is like as the picture, while the 75ml bottle is as you desribe it in your rewiew.

I just bought the Pure Perfume of this scent, and it is genuine luckily, but it is npt as strong as i had hoped. Does anyone has the same version and can compare? Love the edp version!

I'm not really a big fan of this scent but I feel like this can smell good on someone with the right chemistry. The top notes just kill it for me because they are so citrusy and strong. Plus the name doesn't match this scent since this smells like a green or yellow type of scent.

Though not an unpleasent scent, something about this ticked me off. Maybe I would have liked it better had it been summer. Theres a note in it which really annoyed me to the point of scrubbing.I will always remember this as my first scrubber:)
