> [@alseides](#): > > 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… I am doing the same thing with the summer scents so there will be 2 lovely fruity girls ruling CT this summer LOL 😉 I love MMU but the wait kills me. Elementals is having a sale May 18th everything 15% off for the whole weekend and she also does a fantastic job. Her oils are great and I love her parfait lotions. Her prices are also really good and I got my last huge order in 2 weeks. I did mostly flowery scents in that order and I loved them all but viola is to die for. I havnt tried her pink suger dupe but it seems a little more flowery to me and less sweet from what I have been told. [Elementals Shoppe](http://www.elementalsshoppe.com/store/Default.asp) Tisha ---

Thanks to Honeythief’s kindness a sample of Pink Sugar arrived with me today! It suprised me because it is both a lot lighter and a lot more complex than I thought it would be. I imagined it would be a really strong fragrance, but it’s actually quite subtle. I’m looking forward to trying it out at a party tomorrow and seeing how it goes. 😃 Thanks again for sending this to me Honeythief you’re brilliant .. and keep an eye on your postbox 🙂 May ---

I absolutely adore Pink Sugar, and I get an amazing amount of “What smells so good?” and “Why do I smell cookies baking?” comments when I wear it. Even without the comments, this fragrance makes _me_ feel happy and wonderful when I wear it. Love Potion Pink, which I read about in another thread, is heady and intoxicating – and that’s just the effect on me, LOL! It took me weeks to place an order after the first recommendation of the Love Potions site in this thread: `http://www.pheromonetalk.com/womens-pheromone-advice-tips-tricks/letting-you-into-another-my-secret-2441.html` but I am SO glad I finally did. The scent is amazing and long-lasting, and if it works on my target, wonderful, but if not, it makes me feel great! And add me to the list of people waiting for an order from MMU. I was slow to order from them as well, but after reading all the favorable comments and wanting to try Pink Clouds, I splurged. I got an amber fragrance from them as well, Ambre a la Vanille, and am really looking forward to trying it out. Whee!😃 ---

Oh that’s great **May** , I’m glad it got to you alright. I hunted around for a spray bottle but I didn’t have one in the house - maybe that’s why you are finding the scent quite subtle. Hope you’re enjoying it, anyway! **Pherobeliever** , I got an Ambre a la Vanille spray from MMU and it is really gorgeous. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. ---

Oh me too, I have thirty or forty difference fragrances in my “girlie stuff” drawer. I rarely leave the house without wearing _something_. I love PerfumeOfLife and MUA for perfume reviews and leading me to new things. ---

If the wait from MMU is killing you, I simply HAVE to recommend B&I: Bathed And Infused - [http://bathedandinfused.com](http://bathedandinfused.com) I just received my first order from them and I’m blown away. I ordered Gidget & Moondoggie (companion scents which are absolutely GORGEOUS. Gidget is mostly mango and coconut on me, and Moondoggie is ocean spray and nag champa. If only I can get my punk to start wearing cologne… 😃) and they are DEFINITE reorders. I also picked up a more coconutty dupe of Bobbi Brown’s Beach scent, and while it’s incredibly strong, I’m in love. Packaging is beautiful and it only took six days to get to my house. They even threw in a bunch of tiny samples. The people who run the site are very nice and hands-on, and the following is smaller than MMU’s, so I think lots more gets done lots faster. I’m in love. 🙂 ---

I’m sure Bathed and Infused is a great site, and produces great products. However, the cheapest shipping option for me to send a $28 order of four items was over $50 - my order total jumped to more than $78. If they want international customers they’ll have to try a bit harder than that… ---

Ahhh! Yeah, international shipping from B&I is terrible. If I had my own paypal account or something I would order your stuff for you and send it to you myself… 😛 If you can find a middle man it’s worth it. ---

Bath and Infused is great, I have some of her stuff and she is really quick about filling orders. I buy alot of bath products. (like I said before I have a bath product addiction LOL) I try to only buy when someone is having a sale now because I get maybe 4 or 5 shipments a month from various companies. Ok I fess up, I got 10 parcels with bath products this month but its May and there was alot of sales going on LOL. Moondoggie sounds fabulous. I may be getting 11 parcels this month.😉 Tisha ---

Sorry, I know. I’m just feeding addictions here. But I’m taking all of you down with me, mwahaha… 😃 I’ve ordered from them twice this month, and another company twice as well. If only I could afford 10 packages! I’d be in heaven. ---

Now, steering conversation back to the Pink Sugar topic… I, too, love the smell. Believe me. I’ve had it since Day Two of its release, but I have a _major_ gripe. It’s not about the luscious smell, or the bombardment of compliments I receive, but The Massive Toxic Tiredness that follows when wearing it! Many of you, like me, are trained in detecting pheromonal presences, but have any of you noticed the consistent tiredness/icky feeling/headaches/light tummy sickness that follows wearing Pink Sugar? I thought I was crazy or paranoid, so I’ve tested this a dozen different ways, but I still plop down in bed for hours almost immediately after I spray. I can’t ever wear it on my skin or near my face at all. It was relegated to the back of my neck, and when that still gave the signature PS Toxic Tiredness, it goes in ponytail only! The hubby doesn’t let me wear it, nor will he let me go play with other gourmand goodies at sephora, for fear of the same toxic additive! I brought it up to deaniebop, who just got her shipment last week, and she was like, “Haha! Oh! That’s why I fell asleep directly afterward!” Carrie, you’re a brilliant mind at All Things Parfum… Maybe you know if Aquolina is using a particular phlatate that causes the toxic tiredness? I was wondering how all you gals get away with wearing Pink Sugar with such fanciful, carefree abandon! Frankly, I’m jealous! Have any of you noticed these effects at all? Not that I mind so much that I can’t wear pink sugar. To quench my olfactory sweet tooth I actually mixed myself a blend of, _yes_, $6 drugstore Cotton Candy Fantasy body splash (w00t 7th grade girls!) cut with TAH, cut with Androtics Cookie Dessert, and it works out loads better for me as a cover. _Plus_ I get mean TAH effects, and the cookie + drugstore body splash combine to make this incredibly expensive smelling EDP, with varied burnt sugar, baked chocolate, cotton candy and citrus notes. ---

I haven’t worn the stuff enough to notice, but I have heard these complaints from a _lot_ of other people. Not so much with tiredness, but with headaches. Since I’m prone to headaches, I probably wouldn’t notice if one struck after applying that stuff. Maybe I should put some on today and see what happens. ---

Jas, I don’t know which chems are in Pink Sugar specifically, nor do I know which ones would make you feel tired. You’re wise to avoid it entirely though since it sounds like you’re sensitive to something in it. I find it very strong and when I wear it (rare) I only apply a drop or two. It’s a really interesting perfume once you get past the heavy burnt sugar, but it just doesn’t do a lot for me. I sat next to a girl wearing it in the airport lounge last week and found it pretty nauseating - and not many perfumes make me feel that way. ---

No I feel relaxed. Then again I dont bathe in it. Smells that make me fall asleep are the combination of rose, ylang ylang, geranium, lavender etc. They smell tooo warm. I always pass out and it’s only essential oils.
