The Allure Of Pink-Colored Fragrances

Pink-colored scents are such an eye-candy; they’re trendy, chic and sweet. Every pink scent I encounter is a lush floral bouquet embellished with fruits or musk accords. The mingling of notes creates a dramatic flair to achieve a distinct character way above its peers. That’s the kind of image fragrance houses want to project to the perfume loving public.

Pink fragrances also signify the modernity in the world of perfumery. Mainstream scents, more often than not, are light and ephemeral and not to mention, pink!

There are a lot pink-colored scents in retail nowadays. But what is it about the pink-colored juices that every designer fragrance house comes up with its own collection of pink scents?

Let’s check out some of the more popular pink fragrances in the perfumery

Thierry Mugler Garden of Stars – Pivoine Angel

Peony is the most pronounced note while patchouli and vanilla warm the background. The floral combo of peony, rose and lily of the valley sets the stage for the gourmand-ish aroma Angel is known for. It’s slightly sweet, spicy and sprinkled with green accords. Pivoine Angel is part of Angel’s Garden of Stars’ flanker. This lovely pink juice was concocted by Olivier Cresp in 2005.

Femme Hugo Boss
Femme is a well-executed floral-musk fragrance. You can say that it’s one of the safest feminine scents around; safest in the sense that it’s not too much of a heady floral. Femme may smell familiar (reviews say that it smells like other floral fragrances) but in the dry down, it softens into a beautiful elegant floral that blends well with the warm musk.

Viktor&Rolf Flowerbomb
Floral power in a grenade-inspired bottle – this is Flowerbomb. The first fragrance by Dutch designers Viktor&Rolf, Flowerbomb is a decadent floral scent where the sweetness is cut by the edgy notes of patchouli. Designed as a floriental fragrance, this feminine scent tops the charts in the women’s perfumes category.  

Lacoste Dream of Pink
Dream of Pink is undoubtedbly for the young audience. It’s fresh, sweet and very trendy. Touch of Pink and Love of Pink are part of Lacoste’s “Pink” scents. This perfume is consist of berries, iced tea, rose, lotus and sandalwood. Introduced in 2008, Lacoste Dream of Pink is just right for daytime.

Calvin Klein Euphoria
Euphoria is dark, enigmatic and exotic. The contrast of fruits and florals exude an alluring fragrance most fitting to a sophisticated woman. Some perfumistas say that Euphoria is so Angel-ish (Thierry Mugler). Perhaps, it’s the sweet-smoky finish emanating from the sweet-smoky accords.

There are many pink-colored fragrances in the perfumery and some were tagged as classics already. And every year, more perfumes are added to the list. You’ll never run out of options but the unfortunate thing nowadays is, most scents smell like the thousand of fragrances out there. If you find yourself lost in translation from distinguishing one perfume from another, this is not news.

J’adore Perfume For Women By Dior

November 23rd, 2009
Comments Off

J’adore by Dior first came out in 1999. It’s one of the best-selling Dior fragrances known for its well-blended floral notes. For the woman who wears it, J’adore radiates a polished look complemented by the opulent floral accords that make up this feminine fragrance. The opening is a balanced fusion between the fruit and floral notes. The same floral essence is carried out through the middle and base notes. There is no single note that dominates. The mélange of accords meld together so well thus creating one unique scent where all fruits and flowers seem to dance in unison.

The notes feature melon, magnolia, pear, peach, mandarin orange, plum, tuberose, orchid, violet, freesia, lily of the valley, jasmine, rose, musk, vanilla, cedar and blackberry. J’adore is a pleasant perfume on the overall. Despite the flower power and cocktail of fruits, there is no trace of cloying sweetness of sugary fruits and cheap floral notes. In short, J’adore is a charming fragrance. It’s engaging, attractive and definitely feminine in every way.

Time may have passed by so quickly but J’adore remains one of the most popular scents amidst the many a number of fragrances in the perfumery today. Just recently, J’adore celebrated its 10th year in the industry. The floral-fruity perfume still is one of the best-selling fragrances in its collection.

Since its release a decade ago, J’adore has gone several transformations. There are different versions of the original and the latest flanker is called J’adore L’eau cologne. It’s another progeny of the floral-fruity fragrance but the fruit component is mellowed down. The notes are: lemon, citrus, bergamot, magnolia, neroli and ylang-ylang. This luxurious floral scent is fresher than the earlier flankers.

J’adore is acclaimed for its Greek amphora bottle and the golden juice inside it. The first fragrance was designed by perfumer Calice Becker. More of Dior’s J’adore at discount perfume online, scentiments.com.
