Pink Sugar

Parfumour’s Interpretation of Aquolina Pink Sugar

Pink Sugar is one of the most beloved gourmand fragrances ever created, and our version keeps that iconic cotton candy character, built as a true eau de parfum for lasting wear.

The Story Behind the Scent

Released in 2004 and crafted by Olivier Cresp, the nose behind Mugler’s Angel, Aquolina Pink Sugar is one of the most recognizable gourmand fragrances ever created. Built around caramel, vanilla and red fruits, it became the defining sweet gourmand of an entire generation, that distinctive cotton candy and caramel scent.

Our interpretation captures the same iconic gourmand signature, rebuilt as a true eau de parfum at up to 40 percent perfume oil so the cotton candy and caramel last well beyond the original eau de toilette.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

We build ours as an eau de parfum with a high perfume oil load and sell direct, so you get the same sweet gourmand cotton candy character with strong projection and longevity.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who loves a sweet gourmand cotton candy scent.

Notes

Top notes: Cotton Candy, Bergamot

How it Smells

The opening is unapologetically sweet, that instantly recognizable cotton candy accord laced with sparkling fruit and a touch of bergamot.

The heart blooms with warm caramel, juicy red fruits of raspberry and strawberry, and a soft floral touch.

The base is warm and cosy, with vanilla, musk and sandalwood giving a lasting gourmand finish.
