I’ve read here how many of you use Pink Sugar as a cover. Thing is, it’s not easily or quickly available here in the UK, I might order the oil but I generally like to get a good snuffle of a perfume before I buy it. If anyone can paint a vivid scent picture with words of what Pink Sugar/Clouds smells like I would be grateful.
That said, I already have a few bottle of Boudoir - as it is one of my regulars. But I am wondering if any of my others are contenders - or have been used by others here -for cover. Also if any of these would be a DISASTER as cover, please tell me…
I have:
Boudoir, Vera Wang, Maybe Baby, Angel, Euphoria, Island (Michael Kors), Michael Kors, Opium, Chaos, Black Cashmere, With Love, Burberry Brit, Tuxedo
Any Suggestions what would work, or for other fragrances capable of covering EoW etc?
Well, I personally have never used Pink Sugar, but I have had considerable experience covering EW (as many of the ladies here know… ).
Basically, any scent that is fruity-smelling will work well with EW after dry-down. My personal favorites for covering it are amber, musk, and/or vanilla-based scents. I have also covered it with Obsession for Women with pretty good results.
Then again, I have also covered it with the neroli and chocolatini scents from Androtics. Actually, I haven’t really found many things that wouldn’t cover it, as long as you let it dry and mellow prior to cover scent application.
May, I can post a sample of Pink Sugar to you if you want. I have about half a bottle of it still so I can spare a ml or two, and you’re only across the water from here PM me your address if you fancy it.
I am waiting on three huge orders of perfume from a few e-tailers and I will definitely report on how well they mingle with EoW as soon as they get here. I’m putting in more orders as we speak!
It’s getting to be a really muggy springy-summer up here and I don’t think Pink Sugar is good for the warmer months so I have to find something else. I do know that ozone or marine notes don’t work well with EoW, though I forget exactly what I used to come to that conclusion…
Thanks for all your replies, so anything vanilla, musky or fruity.
I have a feeling this might also be an excuse to buy a bottle of my old friend shalimar!
Honeythief you are an absolute sweetie! Many thanks for your offer. If you are sure it is not too much trouble I will send you a pm with my address! I would like to see what this fragrance that drives the guys nuts is really like! :o
Well, Honeythief, I have just tried to send you a private message, in fact I tried a few times, but I am not sure any of them have got through. I click submit and it just goes back to my profile and doesn’t show in the “sent” box even though I have it set to save a copy.
Let me know if you don’t get a message (or several).
Nothing in my inbox so far - I’ve been trying to PM Jasmin and I’m having the same problem. If the messages haven’t shown up by tomorrow I’ll figure out some other way to get the address from you.
May, I finally got your PM. I will sent that sample off to you today if I can (waiting on an NTL engineer to come out this afternoon so the post office might be shut before I can leave the house again). Hope you enjoy it
My man isn’t so much into the sweet scents…he likes the chocolatini and some vanillas, but only occassionally…he is more partial to the darker sultry scents that I wear (he loves my straight amber)…
I got my wife some amber fragrance and it is really quite nice. Very dark and heavy and … nice. Actually, I got her some jasmine fragrance at the same time and it’s quite nice too. I prefer both to pink sugar, though she seems to prefer the pink sugar.
LOL! I don’t know, it seems that the majority of men prefer food-type smells. Maybe it’s true that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach - although I always thought it was through somewhere a little bit lower…
Honeythief, you are an absolute star for doing this! I’m glad the PM finally got through - I think the system may have been playing up last night! Sorry if you got multiple copies! I was trying to see if I was doing anything wrong or if it was due to a pop-up blocker or something!
i like pink sugar. at first it has a unique citrus and bergamot spice u wouldn’t think cotton candy has then it calms down into licorice, vanilla and sometimes a light note flowery almost jasmine scent. I spray it in the car, gives me a sweet ride home.
When i smell it, it gives me a sense of self love and vanity. Make me feel guys get in the way of me falling in love with myself actually. LOL. Generally it makes me feel content and in love.
I got my MMU order today and I think Amber Del Nepal would cover EoW nicely. I have ordered mostly fruity scents seeing as summer is unbearably hot around here, and it’s settling in fast. Their 5 Fold Orange scent is to die for, though I don’t know what it would cover. I would prefer that to Androtics’s neroli; it smells like freshly peeled oranges rather than orange flower.
I don’t really like Pink Sugar, so I didn’t buy MMU’s dupe of it. I still have that bottle 80% full if anybody wants it…
