What does Pink Friday (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Both longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin as a light scent. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear and leisure are the most chosen occasions. It reads feminine and modern.

The top notes of mandarin orange, starfruit and boysenberry give a juicy, citrusy freshness. Gardenia, jasmine and lotus bring a soft floral heart. In the base, caramelized pear and vanilla pull the scent towards a gourmand sweetness, backed by musk and woods. The overall impression is sweet, fruity and a little synthetic. Givenchy Dance with Givenchy and Yoppy Rocking Glam have a close profile.
