First and foremost, to all loyal readers – I am so sorry for the lack of updates on my part! Rebecca and I have been so busy with work lately, and I am also taking some fairly time consuming classes this semester. Expect more updates, though. I miss the perfume world.
Having said that, onto the review!
Can Can by Paris Hilton
NOTES: Clementine, Flowers, Cassis, Nectarine, Orchid, Orange Blossom, Soft Musk, Wood, Amber
Can Can was the first Paris Hilton fragrance that I ever considered buying, but ironically, it was the last fragrance that I actually went ahead and bought. I would always sample it in the store, though, and I always had mixed feelings on it… sometimes I loved it, sometimes I hated it.
CLASSIFICATION: gourmand, ever so slightly powdery
AGE GROUP: perfect for any age

Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf
NOTES: Tea, Bergamot, Sambac Jasmine, Cattleya Orchid, Freesia, Centifolia Rose, Musks, Patchouli
Flowerbomb may just be THE most popular fragrance of the decade, and for no other reason, I decided I would try it. I have seen it described as a chiefly gourmand scent, while others classify it as a “pink” floral, yet some others say it is a modern floriental. I had absolutely no expectations, so no matter what I thought of it, I was not to be disappointed.
CLASSIFICATION: Floriental, gourmand, sweet
AGE GROUP: Mature / Perfect for any age

Aquolina Pink Sugar
NOTES (as listed on sephora.com): Bergamot, Sicilian Orange, Raspberry, Fig Leaves, Lily of the Valley, Licorice, Strawberry, Red Fruit, Cotton Candy, Vanilla, Caramel, Musk, Wood, Powder.
Upon the discovery that there are gourmand fragrances that appeal to me (i.e. Hilary Duff’s Wrapped With Love, 2008), I decided to purchase a sample vial of Aquolina’s Pink Sugar with my last fragrancenet.com shipment. I was counting on hating this fragrance, and let’s just say that I was definitely not disappointed.
CLASSIFICATION: Candy. Baked goods.
AGE GROUP: Teen or younger
