Pink Sugar Berry Blast
by Aquolina
Pink Sugar Berry Blast is a sweet, fruity gourmand that extends the DNA of the original Pink Sugar with a noticeable, though subtle, blueberry and berry infusion. The opening presents a syrupy burst of blueberry, blackberry, and cherry, giving the impression of blue cotton candy or a gummy candy. This is followed by a soft, creamy swirl of vanilla, caramel, and cotton candy, which becomes indistinguishable from the original Pink Sugar in the dry down. While critics note it lacks the sharp burn and licorice depth of the original, many find it smoother, lighter, and more wearable—especially in warm weather. It offers a delicate, playful sweetness that works as a summer-friendly alternative, though longevity is inconsistent and projection remains moderate, especially after the first hour. Its softness and fragrance nature make it ideal for layering with more complex scents to add sweetness without overpowering.
