Pink Sugar Red Velvet

Pink Sugar Red Velvet is a highly sweet, gourmand fragrance with a strong emphasis on vanilla, whipped cream, and strawberry notes. It shares core DNA with the original Pink Sugar but replaces the licorice and burnt sugar notes with a more cake-like, syrupy sweetness. The opening features a synthetic, almost medicinal strawberry burst that fades into a warm, creamy vanilla base. For some, this transition is a revelation—revealing a rich dessert-like scent reminiscent of red velvet cake, whipped cream frosting, and cotton candy. Others find the opening overpowering, with a sharp, synthetic, or medicinal quality reminiscent of cough syrup or hard candy. The fragrance has notable projection and longevity, especially on clothing, with scent often lasting up to 12 hours. It performs best in cooler climates and is ideal for winter wear, though some users report a rapid decline in scent after 3 hours. Although marketed as a Red Velvet cake note, many find it more accurately described as irresistible strawberry syrup, whipped vanilla, or a gourmand confection rather than a true cake scent. The scent is universally considered sweet and feminine, with no masculine or neutral notes. It stands out among other Aquolina flankers for its creamy, less aggressive profile compared to the original.
