donthate Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Hmm this one is nice. It really is like pink sugar and amber, though I wish it were deeper and richer. Although I like it, and believe it definitely can be described as candy amber but with a bit more candy, I don't love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadtomato Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 i love me some amber and was sooooo excited to try this. i'll likely be burned at the stake for saying this but...it's just way too sweet for my tastes maybe a good layering scent, but straight-up I could never wear this alone. it makes me gack.

Lol, you aint going to be burned at the stake! It's nice to see you on here sadtamato. I am enjoying reading your reviews and looking forward to more! This one is definetly a sweet amber. I think it is great for people who arent absolute amber girls. Your right about layering it though, I think it would work quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffeemama Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 This is definitely candy + amber. It is way sweeter than I thought it was going to be. The pink sugar is strong when it's wet, but in the dry down the amber is starting to come out, I'll wait a little longer & see if it mellows out more.

knjsavy Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 i wore this today and it was wonderful - a great throw and i was reminded of how much i like this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivy_fiddlefox Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 (edited) Reminds me of a sweeter musk in the pixie dust, stronger though. I like it but it's a little strong for my nose. Powdery sweet berry amber. edit: ok it's not like musk in the pixie dust as musk in the pixie dist is fresher and more cotton candy like, guess they've both just got that pink sweetness.

Robert Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 i got a small sample of this and figured i would try it out today (sunday = home alone in front of tv day). wet, it smells like cotton candy. after drying down it smells like a mix of strawberry incense and my sister's old bath products. might be good if i wanted to try and sweeten some of my men's scents or use in a diffuser, though.

Invidiana Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I absolutely LOVE this. I can't pull my nose away from my hand because it's like Pink Sugar, but better! It just has a sexier edge than Pink Sugar, which I can't really describe but is gorgeous nonetheless. It's probably due to the depth of the ambers which Pink Sugar is missing. Utterly nomable!

Guest flwfan Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I'm new to LP, but looking at all the reviews I've done recently makes me really aware of the binging I did at the recent sale! Yikes. In the vial, this scent initially struck me as very sugary and girly, so I wasn't too sure how it would play. Upon dry down, this is still very flirty and feminine, but will definitely be something I reach for when I want something light and a bit frivolous.

bruiseviolet Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 This is a lot like Pink Sugar. Really sweet, pink and girly. I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOC Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I've always been very curious about this bottle. Sometimes my skin don't do well with pink sugar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyvey Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 (edited) Me too! haven't put my finger on it yet but LP Pink 2009, Pom Nom, and Esmeralda's Pink Emerald all have something about their pinkness that goes sharp/stabby with my chemistry. Not this one, which is candy fabulosity. Edited December 7, 2010 by tyvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bumbob Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I really want to like this but.... This goes wonky on me like LP Pink 2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruiseviolet Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 It's weird, but sometimes when I smell pink scents like this one in the sample vial and in the bottle they smell different. They smell better in the smaller size for some reason, even with other companies' products. They don't smell bad in the larger bottle, just different and not as good to me.

tyvey Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 But what about when you actually put them on? I've noticed this too but the difference disappears once it's on the skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calii Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Out of the vial,you might be getting a stronger first smell,than from just the roller of the bottle...the only true test is to wear it,and even then,try it several times...I will never,ever forget how close I came to not trying LP Red again...and falling in Love with it !!! ...also,I shake everything!

bruiseviolet Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 But what about when you actually put them on? I've noticed this too but the difference disappears once it's on the skin. It is different, even on my skin. Maybe when it's in a small bottle it ages faster or something? I tried shaking it and it still smells the same on my skin. I'll try it again later!

Bella15 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I think scents do age faster in sample vials... seems like it in my experience, anyway. This one always smells so good in the vial. But on me, not so much. In the vial, it's pink, sugary sweet amber. But on my skin, it becomes this strange, totally unattractive scent. Medicinal, almost. Bleh. Thank goodness I brought something else to switch to today... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
