Pink Sugar as a cover scent: too girly, or a good foodie cover?

Hi ladies!

I stopped by Ulta today to see what this Pink Sugar y’all keep mentioning smells like.

I finally found it. An older woman was standing in front of the display drenching her shirt in Pink Sugar Hair Perfume.

Now, I don’t mind smelling like a girl, so don’t get me wrong. To stay with the celebrity association technique of describing things (which I love, by the way), I got a distinct image of … Paris Hilton when I sniffed it.

Er, not for me, thanks. Remember, I’m more Kathy Bates than Angelina Jolie.

(By the way, if anyone’s looking for it, it’s made by Aquolina.)

Hi CopyCat,

I just got a chance to smell pink sugar too. I cant even imagine this fragrance considered as sexy, it smells like 9 year old childrens perfume to me. Its probably a good thing that we all have different noses, would really suck if everyone in the world smelled like Pink Sugar.

what?! so you don’t think it smells like miracles and all kinds of goodness?! I find that most foody even fruit base scents make good cover scents as far as covering copulin and other pheros. And anything sugery.

Yes, Pink sugar may work great for you , my nose just does not agree or think the scent is for me.

I do agree that foodie/vanilla type scents work best as a cover though.

I get a tobacco note at the end of Pink Sugar that is sooo unpleasant. I can’t wear it either!

Hated Pink Sugar - LTR came back from the mall having tried it on (She Hated it too) - I found Clinique Happy was a nice summer scent with a little more maturity

Any thoughts on why that is? I find the neroli smell reminds me of a forest. Seems like an odd combination.

The magic of pink sugar is seeing what it turns in to combined with your chemistry. I hated the way it smelled at fresh application but an hour later it changes and continues to change slightly. I’ve had people tell me I smell like a sweet musk, cotton candy, and even vanilla all at different times. I love pink sugar, it is gorgeous on my skin. I think it must be applied to skin and then wait it out to see if you could really appreciate it.

Thanks for the reps Remmy! :slight_smile:

im a little so so on pink sugar also..

the one and only compliment ive ever gotten from a guy was my co-worker at this research place that im working for this summer.. and he’s really creepy.

also doesnt help that my TG hates it. he laughed and said.. “its not enough u eat cotton candy all day, u want to smell like one too?” (umm yes, im a cotton candy addict)

however for some good cover scents that doesnt smell like vanilla would be DKNY - be delicious, JLO- live and also Lancome - Miracle. my TG likes those a lot :slight_smile:

<3

haha np. i just agreed with u wholeheartedly on what u said, i had to give u reps! :slight_smile:

Thanks for the tip – I’ll check those out!

Being so new at this, I haven’t tried covering yet. (Except Lust After Me, didn’t seem so bad at first, but I could barely stomach the smell after 10 minutes. Just sprayed a bunch of VS body spray on which helped.)

I kind of like Neroli, almost a masculine scent on me. I find it fresh and light.

What does Lust After Me smell like? I like the neroli too. Reminds me of a Pacific Northwest forest.

I believe Tisha described it as butt cheese…that’s pretty accurate (at least for how it smelled on me.) It really was rancid. I’m looking forward to playing with cover scents for it…because I want the results others get with it!

I’m more of a Estee Lauder Pleasures person, but I’ve discovered that Bench Body has this apple body spray that smells like cream soda. I kinda like it though. Haha.
