Aquolina

I bought this once and HATED it. I expected a sweet candy smell but the only note I smelled was licorice. It drowned out everything else on my skin. I gave it to my daughter. All these years later I decided to order it again and this time it is MUCH better. This new bottle does not have the same licorice only note....Perhaps I had a bad bottle? I did order from ebay.

This is a completely difference fragrance to me in comparison to two years ago. I am also 48. Older people CAN pull this off. I actually get compliments wearing it whereas I get none wearing all of my expensive Diors.

It opens with luminous bergamot with juicy wild strawberry, with almonds and green leaves. The heart beats with shades of various white flowers and intoxicating jasmine. The whole composition is rounded up with gourmand notes vanilla, licorice, pink praline and strawberry.

It smells like Overripe Pink Sugar. Cloying sweet, rotting fruit blending with burnt sugar cotton candy but without the sparkle of the original.

It opens with citrus and neroli, with the heart of the crème brule and coconut and the base of Australian sandalwood, musk and creamy accord.

I get creamy citrus with bananas and a hint of pineapple and coconut with a touch of musk and sandalwood.

It's appealing to use for layering but not outstanding on its own. Rather inoffensive, generic tropical fragrance.

I'll admit Pink Sugar is one of my favorite inexpensive fragrances to own. I found this oil on eBay for a good price 25$ which is what I think it's worth. I never would have paid 95$ for Pink Sugar. But for what I paid I'm totally happy. This oil I think I like more on me than the perfume. It smells like Pink Sugar but better imo on me. I like that the fruit comes out more in the scent than the original. For me I just like this better. I prefer to wear this at night I also get so many compliments when I wear this. I also prefer this in the colder months. I just like to wear this before bed or when I want some comfort. I'm glad I didn't buy this when it first came out a little goes a long way and the sillage for an oil is really good. Also,this perfume lasts on my skin forever. The longevity is amazing!

AQUOLINA!!! Why did you make the HUGE mistake of discontinuing this GEM? I'm not even a FAN of Pink Sugar really..but THIS was perfection!! My goodness, this could at LEAST be released once a year at Christmas or something! MUCH better than the Expensive Montale Chocolate Greedy ( I own) ~ This is one of THE best Chocolate compositions that I have ever smelled & I have over 15 in my collection. CaNNOT believe they would let this go over the Sugar~ Whatever..let me go run the show over there...someone messed up. THIS is HOLY GRAIL!!
