Blue Sugar (Aquolina type)

Wow. Seriously. Never in a million years would I have thought that a men's fragrance with cotton candy notes would be so incredibly appealing. But somehow Aquolina (and with this version, my perfumer) has managed to not only make it masculine, but also sexy as sin.

My perfumer's description is spot on: "Masterfully blended, the cotton candy sweetness of Pink Sugar has evolved into something unmistakably masculine with a darker, more toasted sugar note. This brilliant composition then adds the strength of woods, patchouli, fresh herbs and spices. It's nicely balanced; just complex enough to be interesting without being overly busy or heavy handed.

The fragrance opens with a burst of Toasted Caramelized Sugar quickly yielding to woodsy Cedar and warm Tonka Bean. A heart of Patchouli, Licorice, French Lavender, Heliotrope and Coriander is revealed. Finally, lilting notes of Italian Bergamot and Mandarin are balanced by Star Anise and Fresh Ginger."
