by Nicki Minaj
Pink Friday by Nicki Minaj is a light, fresh, and sweet fruity floral fragrance with prominent notes of starfruit, pear, and caramel, layered with subtle jasmine and musk. It opens with a juicy, slightly citric burst of carambola and mandarin, evolving into a soft, creamy, gourmand base of vanilla, caramel, and woodsy notes. The scent is simple and accessible, resembling a lighter, more tropical variant of Viva La Juicy or Someday by Justin Bieber, with a gentle, sugary sweetness that feels approachable and youthful. Despite its straightforward profile, it garners consistent compliments and is praised for its easy-wearability, affordability, and pleasant scent that suits spring and summer days. It performs well on skin and clothing, though longevity is modest and projection is moderate to intimate, requiring reapplication for extended wear. The packaging remains a divisive point, with some finding it creepy or tacky, while others appreciate its bold, kitschy aesthetic and unique design.
