Tips on Finding the Right Pink Sugar Perfume For You

Here are some tips to follow when choosing your Pink Sugar perfume:

1. Don’t try all of the perfumes at once. First, try out the fragrance on your skin, give it time and see if you like the scent that develops after wearing it for a while. For example, the smell of roses is divine, but it does not work on everybody’s skin. So don’t be afraid to take your time when choosing your Pink Sugar perfume.
2. The notes are essential! See what notes you like and search for those notes in other perfumes. This will make the search for your next scent so much easier!
3. So you couldn’t find a perfume that you like. Who said you couldn’t layer your fragrances and build your own scent? You can mix your Pink Sugar perfume with another smell that is similar in notes.
4. Don’t be a trend follower. Because Vicky and Sarah love a particular perfume does not mean you will. So please don’t make your perfume purchases based on trends.  
5. Think about the occasion you are buying it for. Is it for a particular date with your boo, your birthday, part of your self-care routine, or maybe a scent that you spray before bedtime? Make sure to ask yourself why you want this perfume.

Okay, so maybe the Pink Sugar collection is not for you, you might like some of the notes, but the overall smell might be too strong for you. And you know what? That is totally okay! But I have some alternative options for this perfume that you might like. So buckle up your seatbelt and get ready for your journey to alternative perfume city.
