    In my opinion it is nothing like Flowerbomb (one of my favorite perfumes that I use all the time for years). Very vanilla,thick aura,not very sophisticated smell. I was really excited to try it and after ordering on eBay I’m very disappointed. It is probably my body chemistry not agreeing with the composition of the perfume, but after wearing it for 15 min I’m noxious from it.

    Got my lot of 20 samples ,,so that’s over 20+ ml for $12. Money well spent! Getting a coffee/ cacao/ patchouli vibe from this,and loving it! Kinda similar to Flowerbomb but a little fresher and sweeter and just yum!

    First spray I thought “oh no..” it was really strong alcohol, cheap and weak. Now it’s settled on me it’s beautiful! It smells like a combination of angel and flowerbomb on me. Yum!

    Pink Sugar Sparks is like a lot of gourmand fragrances all rolled into one, fragrances such as Pink Sugar, Black Opium, Black XS for Her, and various other vanilla-coffee-patchouli-berry-caramel-dominant scents. Very cozy fragrance and the price is right!

    On my skin this is peaches and cream with a little bit of coffee and patchouli lingering in the background. The opening is very sparkling and fizzy, and then it turns very smooth and creamy.
    To me Pink Sugar Sparks smells like the baby of Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb, Dolce & Gabbana The One and Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium. I love that the peach is so dominant, since it’s one of my favorite notes. When it has been on the skin for many hours, it does smell a little bit like a toned down version of the original Pink Sugar.
    It’s such a shame that this beauty is discontinued.

    I’m guessing that it is the patchouli/coffee in combination with the other fruits and flowers that creates the dirty vibe.
    It is not dirty, as in unwashed, nor is it dirty, in the sense of a lack of morals. It is earthy and heavy, and confident and it’s probably the loudest of the Aquolinas I’ve smelled. A little goes a long way, and the longevity is great.
    Due to the sometimes-offputting patchouli, I would not recommend this as a safe blind buy. On the other hand, if you like the other members of the Pink Sugar family, and you also like patchouli, without any sweetness being compromised, then you will probably not be surprised by Pink Sugar Sparks, and you will probably like it.
    I’ve not smelled any of the other scents that Sparks gets compared to, but I think this (and not Pink Sugar Sensual) is Pink Sugar All Grown Up

    Sweet and fresh in the same time… love it… I wear it right now…

    I can definitely attest to Aquolina’s Sparks having a similarity if not a great dupe for Viktor & Rolf’s Flowerbomb. Normally I gravitate for sweet and gourmand scents but these two are an exception. This is a fresh, bubbly and sparkling, it hits the nail on that part. The coffee note really brings it’s to new heights along with the heaviness of the patchouli but it remains sweet with the fruitiness of the peach and the warmth of the vanilla. If Flowerbomb is too pricy for your wallet, go for this alternative. Their like polarized sisters, a high end fashionista with class and a girls next door who a little edge. The sad part this is being discontinued, and I managed to snag two precious bottle of it. There a few on ebay selling but such a sad ending to such a wonderful and exhilarating perfume.

    2nd review ive been wearing thia for a few days now.im in love its so sparkling no joke it sparks like a raspberry champagne when you smell it then drys down to a nice light floral vanila patchouli summertime at the lake . 10 out of 10

    This was one of the aqoulina fragrances i was super excited to try.its awesome it has the sparkling champaign fruity opening witha nice base the coffe is so subtle but it really adds somthing special to the scent.i dont find patchouli to be a strong player as well this fragrance is in perfect order from top to base notes.i love it my only sad complaint is that its not available in a a 100ml bottle like all the rest.

    I’ve been searching everywhere for this fragrance. I’ve got every other Sugar but as a patch lover this sounds perfect. If anyone can help me track one down I’d be ever so grateful
    Thanks!

    Sweet, kinda floral, basically flower bomb. Not unpleasant and certainly priced better than flower bomb but fairly jejune.

  14. :

    5 out of 5

    Nice perfume. Sweet has a small cooling freshness. But we believe that up to 25 years fit. Not older ages. For the price is very good compared to other perfumes of large brands.

  15. :

    Its just like flowerbomb but cheaper. Very long lasting for an edt. A nice surprise from Aquolina. I think they made this knowing how popular V&R Flowerbomb is. Its a perfect dupe for Flowerbomb.

  16. :

    It’s a deep spicy/sweet sent, the spicy patchouli is more dominant than the sweeter notes. Smells exactly like flower bomb! Seductive, warm, sweet and comforting is how I like to describes it. To me this is a fall winter fragrance. I found one for $10 1.7oz at Nordstrom Rack. For now (summer) I like to layer it with a sweeter fresher sent. PinkSugarSpark + KatyPerryMeow

    @Kohla1
    I know what you are talking about. It’s the patchouli and coffee mixing together.

  18. :

    4 out of 5

    I had to come back and say WHOA PATCHOULI and Freesia… Definitely will save this for autumn. I like it a lot, but it’s spicy patchouli city! Too much for warm weather.

    For some reason, I’ve never smelled Flowerbomb, so I can’t make a comparison.
    First blast, bubble gum and flowers, I also smell some licorice. But I think the coffee and patchouli blend to give that licorice scent.
    There is something a bit plastic about it during the first 15 minutes. It does fade though. Peach is the bed, Patchouli and the many florals lie on top. The Vanilla is not gourmand at all to me. It’s a bit more sophisticated
    This is definitely an Autumn fragrance for me.
    ETA:I was able to do a side by side comparison with Flowerbomb. The first spray of each is almost indistinguishable to my nose. I actually like pink sparks better. It has more umpf. Whatever the licorice note is, smells more and more like cotton candy. In Flowerbomb, the tea definitely is the defining difference for me. That makes it a more versatile fragrance. That juxtaposed with the with the coffee in Pink Sugar Sparks makes all the difference.

    I had not tried Flowerbomb in awhile. The first thing I realized is that the fragrance was incredibly similar to Pink Sugar Sparks. I am going to be ordering 3 more bottles of Sparks because the price is excellent and the similarity to Flowerbomb is striking!

    Izzaaayyy–
    I am exactly like you. I loooove Pink Sugar and all sweet gourmands, and patchouli makes me sick…. esp when it’s masculine or overpowering, such as Angel or Chopard Wish.
    In Sparks, the patch is hidden with the coffee. It’s there…. but maybe 1/4th of the potency of Angel. It’s very similar to the amount of patch in La Vie Est Belle. I also love LVEB, Jimmy Choo, Oriens– all gourmands/fruitchoulis where the patch is well blended. Now, I also find that patchouli hides in winter, and I live in the very cold, very snowy Upper Michigan in the US. So that may help patchouli scents smell better to me. My advice? Give Sparks a try. I think you’ll be fine, esp if you like Flowerbomb. 😉

  22. :

    5 out of 5

    I want to buy this because I LOVE flower bomb and pink sugar and this is supposed to be like a cross of the two, but I don’t usually like fragrances that are too strong on the patchouli… I don’t mind it in fragrances like Miss Dior, La Vie Est Belle or Armani Si, but I hate it in fragrances like Angel where it smells sharp/masculine.. My local sephora doesn’t have a tester for this so all I can do is blind buy, but I’m hesitant… how strong is the patchouli in this?

  23. :

    3 out of 5

    on my skin this sparkly liquid smells exactly like Rihanna Rebelle (must be that coffee extract talking) ^^ nothing like Flowerbomb. suppose body chemistry really matters for this one. reading reviews I am surprised no one else refers to Riahanna’s perfume as I scented Rebelle mixed a little with Pink Sugar from the first sniff ^^ it is totally not a bad thing as I quite enjoy wearing it on cold dark winter nights to warm myself up and get the nice sence of sweet comfort and fuzziness. sillage is a bit strong so you better watch out since smell is far from neutral (at least on me) and people may either love it or hate it (e.g. my fater is always complaining if I wear it, he says it makes him dizzy and choked up). overall the perfume is ok – I don’t hate it but not over the moon either,my skin reflects only vanilla, patchouli and coffee and no floral notes at all. works fine for me but the semll does not give me that shiver of exclusivity. however bottle design is great (I have 50 ml) to carry around in the bag and give yourself a spray of OK stuff on a runny day ^^

    This is a happy, sweet scent. It definitely resembles Flowerbomb, Jimmy Choo, and La Vie Est Belle – imagine those three mixed with Pink Sugar, and you get a good idea what this smells like.
    The longevity and sillage are excellent, and the price is very drugstore. One of the best bargains in perfume!

  25. :

    4 out of 5

    I agree with the many other reviews stating that this smells like Flowerbomb. It is not identical; I find Flowerbomb to be heavier on the patchouli and floral notes. The green tea note that makes Flowerbomb a bit refreshing is not present in here either. I will say this, the longevity is almost or maybe just as good at a fraction of the price.
    With Pink Sugar Sparks, I get a vanilla fruitchouli, with raspberry being the fruit that stands out. It also has aspects that remind me of Jimmy Choo EDP.
    Perhaps the toffee and patchouli mix in Jimmy Choo is resembling what is the vanilla, coffee, and patchouli mix in this one if that makes much sense.
    Overall, I really enjoy it. The longevity is excellent for the price or for any price really; I cannot stress this enough.
    I’m not a huge fan of the original Pink Sugar; I don’t think it’s a bad scent, just not my style, but I sure do enjoy all of it’s flankers. Strange, I know.
    I do think if you are looking for a budget friendly fruitchouli or gourmand scent, Aquolina is definitely the best place to look.

    I just got this, and it’s nice enough. To me it is very much a lighter version of Paris Hilton’s Dazzle. Wearing it, I’m struck by just how reminiscent it is. The bottle is similar to all the other pink sugars, meaning they are purse friendly, and sleek. It’s the patchouli that gives this it’s zing, just like in others of this ilk: Paris’ Dazzle and Flowerbomb are just two in this category. If you like others along that line, you’ll probably like this also.

  27. :

    I did the side by side Flowerbomb to Sparks, VERY similar. Sparks has more patchouli & Flowerbomb more florals. I would definitely suggest it to anyone who wants the Flowerbomb scent without the price tag. I agree with the reviewers that say this smells more expensive than it’s price tag. This can be found at Marshalls for $14.99 for 1.7 oz.

  28. :

    4 out of 5

    I’ve only tried Flowerbomb once or twice and don’t quite remember how it smells, but Pink Sugar Sparks reminds me of La Vie Est Belle for sure. Also some similarities with Van Cleef & Arpels Oriens.
    It’s a lovely sweet, fruitchouli which to me smells like patchouli, pralines, vanilla and raspberry, lots of raspberry, just how I like it at the moment!
    It makes a really good and affordable substitute for probably Flowerbomb and LVEB.
    Moderate longevity and moderate to soft sillage on my skin.
    Great value for money!!
    ♥♥♥♥♥

    This smells a lot like flower bomb. And it is so cheap and cheerful!!
    The smell only lasts about 2 hours on me but with such a purse-friendly bottle and great price tag, I do not mind reapplying throughout the day 🙂

  30. :

    4 out of 5

    Just got my delivered, am not saying will smell like this in everyone, however on my skin is very similar to La Vie Est Belle it does not have the evolution of LVEB but is so similar that after 1 hour wearing almost impossible to tell difference, also very similar to Flowerbomb. … really really love it, already ordered another one since the bottle is only 50 ml, is very cheap and worth a try!

  31. :

    Sweet but not as sweet as the original. The coffee isn’t too strong but comes in with a lot of sweet sugar. The patchouli is smooth but strong. Sweet raspberry rounds out the scent. Long lasting sugared patchouli-fruit scent, I wish the coffee was a little stronger though. It’s more in the background than the other notes.

  32. :

    5 out of 5

    Here I am to share my love for this fragrance!
    Sugared cattelya orchid, smooth ground coffee, vanilla and peach fuzz. The same floral heart as flowerbomb, hints of raspberry that remind me of the raspberry in oriens, a tiny hint of green tea, and a nice smooth patchouli.
    Lasts 6 hours or even more. Well worth the money. I love the touch of coffee in here the very best, really adds that extra something. Love it! Very happy to have it in my collection.
    This does indeed sparkle, like flowerbomb it is fairly effervescent. Although not nearly as sparkly as flowerbomb with flowerbomb’s strange not vanilla sweetness. Sugar Sparks on the other hand just goes straight to the vanilla.
    Flowerbomb is certainly a fair comparison to the fragrance but they are not identical twins IMO.

  33. :

    Opens with sugar (cattleya orchid), generic sweet vanilla. No depth. I get a little floral in the background after it warms up, rose and jasmine. Not enough to cut the sweet though. On my skin it’s a sweet cloying mess. Definitely not for me.

  34. :

    3 out of 5

    Boy oh boy did I want this perfume. I couldn’t wait to experience the coffee note along with the fruity floral spicy scent I knew pink sugar sparks would be… Sadly no matter what the notes say the is plain pink sugar only minus the staying power. There are far better scents from this brand, I returned my bottle within days.

  35. :

    5 out of 5

    Is it weird that I find Pink Sugar Sparks meditative? Lol! I mean, it’s a 20 dollar fruitchouli but it doesn’t smell cheap, and it also doesn’t contain head shop levels of patch by any means. The patchouli is somewhat assertive yet modest, soft and airy, cushioned by vanilla and freshened by raspberry. It starts off with a dry bitter tinge of bergamot peel and bold raspberry candy, moves through a channel of coffee caramel, and ends in sugary vanilla, while patchouli holds your hand the entire way. Still though, there is something in this nonlinear scent which reminds me of late afternoon. Why is it so calming? Is there Valium in this?…One spray is ample and it lasts forever. A multi-dimensional meditation on sweetness.

  36. :

    As soon as you open the bottle it smells like when you walk into an expensive boutique! It`s very sweet and sexy but also with a hint of freshness, like I said it reminds me of new clothing, or a new bag, I love it! I love patchouli and vanilla so this is the perfect combo. It lasts a pretty long while so this is really worth your money, I highly would suggest this if you have a girly personality. I don`t, but I love how it can transform me instantly into a prim and proper lady. This is good for either day or night. Seriously try it, if you love Flowerbomb you will love this! I feel like it`s the toned down version, I prefer this hands down!

    it smells like A*MEN thierry mugler

    I got this in the mail today and I have to say I really, really like it. Actually I love it.
    On me it’s a completely wonderful mix of vanilla, coffee, patchouli and musk. And a funny thing is, a couple of days ago I smelled this amazing scent on one of my sweaters and I immediately started to try and find out what it was since none of my perfumes smell like that. And the very same second I sprayed this on me I recognized it! It was the scent I’d been looking for.
    When I think about it now I believe the wonderful smell on my sweater might be a love baby of Flowerbomb and Gold sugar, which I own and adore. However, Flowerbomb can be a bit sharp to my nose sometimes and the drydown isn’t as lovely on me as on my sister who rocks it totally. (And finding a softer version of Flowerbomb was actually the reason why I decided to blind buy this).
    This really is a softer version of Flowerbomb to my nose and I’ve honestly never been more satisfied with a blind buy as I am with this! LOVE <3

    This really just smells like warm cotton candy and faint patchouli to me.

    Pink sugar + patchouli. It’s ok, but not for me. I prefer the original, which is less sharp.

    I just received this today, and I really love it and It smells so good, though, I can’t stop smelling my wrist! It’s definitely different from the original Pink Sugar, but you can still tell that it comes from the same family. I had Flowerbomb, and I can definitely say that it does not smell the same, but they do have similarities (Patchouli and vanilla).
    This starts out fresh and fruity, then BAM–vanilla and coffee kick in and it becomes absolutely warm and sweet. SO incredibly sexy and more mature than Pink Sugar. Not as sweet as the original, and I think the patchouli helps with that. Also, the patchouli is not overwhelming–very linear throughout to balance the overall scent.
    Overall, I think this is great. Silage and longevity are great (I sprayed 2 spritzes on my wrist at 12 and now it’s 11:08 pm and I can STILL smell it when I wave my hands in my face).

  42. :

    I own both, Flowerbomb only in a sample size but a big bottle is in the works! Flowerbomb on me is warm, slightly sweet, vanilla and spices with hints of white flowers and jasmine…PSS is a total nightmare of patchouli, I barely even detect patchouli in Flowerbomb, so on me these two are not even close.
    Edited to add: today I did a side by side (wrist by wrist) ;0) of PSS and Flowerbomb, they still to my nose are not terribly close, but I am developing a liking to PSS! The patchouli that wacked me in the nose last time is barely noticable today, thank goodness (it is the heavy patchouli that keeps me from adoring Angel!). I can’t really compare PSS to anything, it does smell a bit like Pink Sugar but darker, more musky?? It is a nice scent but it doesn’t last long (my skin is notorious for eating perfume!), I’m on hour two and can only smell it if my nose is within an inch of my wrist…..though the Flowerbomb on my other wrist and chest could be drowning it out. I may try FB and PSS layered, they seem like they might be compatable. I bumped my “dislike” to a “like” for PSS….still not a love, but not as horrid as I remember.

  43. :

    5 out of 5

    I did a side-by-side with this and Flowerbomb and they smelled so similar I don’t think I’d be able to tell which one I had on, if someone just sprayed me with one of them. This has the same rich, vanilla, sweet, a bit flowery and floral but just mostly sugary thing going on. The patchouli is very tame and smooth. The longevity is excellent. I’m so thrilled I found this! I was not looking forward to paying Flowerbomb prices.

  44. :

    5 out of 5

    This is just a gorgeous scent. It is warm, sweet..but not overly so and mature. It is a fragrance that would be suitable for either daytime or evening wear. Sparks is a perfume that could easily be chosen for a person’s signature fragrance. For the price, it is a steal.

    Beautiful scent. I owned Flowerbomb in the 100ml bottle and wore it all thru last fall/winter. I loved that scent but wen I went bak to repurchase, i saw that the price had gone up about 20-30$ (not sure but I kno it wasn’t that pricey..I think I paid 130 for the full sized bottle n now it’s 150). Though 20-30$ isn’t that big of a difference, it is enough for me to not repurchase. I couldn’t spray too many of spritz’s of Flowerbomb without feeling like passing out. It can become much to heavy. Pink sugar sparks DOES smell like Flowerbomb without the extreme heaviness ( which sometimes made me feel like an old lady). PSS actually opens up with a brightness that Flowerbomb seems to lack for me. Then the dry down is jst warm sweetness that is most reminiscent of V&R’s Flowerbomb. I am going to repurchase this for sure…n have a few backups too. Btw I work in a hospital n work 12hr shifts constantly moving n running around. After 12 looooong hectic hours I can still smell that warm sweetness that is oh soooo comforting to me.

    Sweet cotton candy is what I smell. Not like pink sugar which has more depth. Pretty linear sweet. Good but rather gold sugar or pink sugar.

    AWESOME! Blind buy…love at first sniff! Will definetly be draining this bottle. Although I might save it for September and October because it seems more like an autumn scent. This is probably the most successful blind buy I’ve ever had. And honestly, it was literally a last minute discovery and add to cart! I’m so pleased.
    Now, for my description. I honestly don’t get any of the opening fruits, citruses, or tea. It goes straight to a yummy and scrumptious deep dark sweet vanilla( which actually smells more like tonka to me), a syrup sweetened cafe latte, and just the slightest hint of perfectly done patchouli. Maybe a hint of orchid and musk. Kind of reminds me of a sticky sweet musky toffee? This definitely is along the lines of Bond I Heart New York, Flowerbomb etc.- except this is extremely inexpensive and satisfying! It kind of reminds me of Rebelle too, but with its opening and drydown morphed into one very nicely balanced scent. This is an A+ in my book. If you like the fragrances I mentioned above, you will probably like this too. Giddy smiles for Sugar Sparks 🙂

    This was a blind buy for me and I have to admit, I’m a little disappointed. My first Aquolina buy was Gold Sugar, which I LOOOOVE! But at first on me this one smelled mostly like menthol…I’m not sure if that’s from the tea, musk, or what. I waited about 15 minutes and the menthol smell faded somewhat, but this definitely isn’t one of my favorites so far. Maybe it’s just my body chemistry.

    I ordered this perfume based on the numerous positive reviews. I was very excited to receive it, as I very much adore FlowerBomb but can’t bring myself to spend the $150 for it.
    Well, at first delightful whiff, I knew this one was a winner.
    It smells almost exactly like FlowerBomb, but there are a few distinct differences. To write an honest review, the first day I wore only the Pink Sugar Sparks. The next day I wore Sparks on one arm and FlowerBomb on the other to compare notes throughout the day, plus longevity and sillage.
    Both scents have similar sillage that is heavy for the first fifteen minutes, and mellows out to a moderate sillage for the next several hours. They also both lasted throughout my work day, though Sparks still had a sweet vanilla scent clinging to my skin after FlowerBomb had given up the ghost.
    The most obvious note-difference is the intense vanilla and coffee in Sparks, though this difference wasn’t noticeable until the dry-down of both scents. I actually prefer this, as I prefer gourmands to florals. Both scents have a strong patchouli opening, followed by spicy floral mids. The vanilla comes out after the scent has been on my skin for a while, and it is sweet but not cloying. Flower Bomb stayed a floral in its final song on my arm. Sweet, very pleasant, but I still like the vanilla better.
    Between the similar sillage, the almost identical opening, and comparable longevity, I highly suggest Pink Sugar Sparks if you are looking for a less costly alternative to FlowerBomb. At $22 (Ebay), it’s a fantastic buy, even on its own merit. I prefer it to FlowerBomb and will definitely be buying more when I run out.

    “peaches and cream”
    I know it depends on body chemistry, but on me it is heavy vanille and some fruits, raspberry and peach. Don’t get me wrong, it is not a childish parfume, more like the grown up version of pink sugar (you can definiately tell that they’re relatives). Very very sweet, but not like a candy, more like a milkshake. 🙂
    After a little time it becomes a little bit deeper, I don’t know which note is responsible for that, coffee or patchouli maybe.
    On me the sillage is quite good, but not too strong, and the lasting power is about 6 hours, however I really like to spay it around me every 3-4 hours just for sniffing. 🙂
    After all it is a nice, but very sweet vanille smell. If you like gourmand scent, I bet you’re gonna like this.

  52. :

    4 out of 5

    As I don’t know Flowerbomb I find it similar to Lancome La vie est belle…not totally, but reminds me. It’s delicately sweet, stays close to the skin, and despite its sweetness it’s not overwhelming. Sugary fruits, measured with good taste.
    In colder weather it shows its coffee side, which is very yummy and spicy. I like it more and more. Coffee shop crowded with trendy young girls. Delicious!

  53. :

    5 out of 5

    A sweet warm patchouli scent mixed with a light hint of coffee and vanilla mixed with some flower notes and sweetness that maybe comes from the bergamot and rasberry. Very warm comforting enjoyable scent.
    Can’t beat the price. Even if sillage is not the most long lasting you can respray it anyway. And because of the bottle it is easy to carry in your handbag (big plus)!
    Thumbs up for this one 🙂

    I know everyone is saying this, but this truly does smell JUST LIKE FLOWERBOMB. I got a 1.7 oz tester on ebay for $21.00. Can’t beat it. It might not last QUITE as long as Flowerbomb, but for this price, who cares? I have been wearing it for 9 hours and I can still smell it a little bit. Very nice, one of my new favorites for the lovely scent and price. Much more wearable than the original Pink Sugar.

  55. :

    Love it, is a great (and cheaper) substitute for Flowerbomb 🙂 This one is also easyer to throw in a bag, because of its shape (the little black stamp-ish thingy broke of my Flowerbomb bottle when I carried in a travelbag)
    This one is in my opinion pretty much identical to Flowerbomb, maybe this one is more coffee, but thats all 🙂

    Really happy and glad that there is a good dupe of Flowerbomb in this one. Cause it is cheaper than Flowerbomb 😀

    I just got this perfume today and it’s amazing! I agree with others who are saying it’s a dupe of Flowerbomb. That is a favorite of mine and this is so similar you almost can’t tell a difference. When I frist sprayed it, I was worried because it had an almost ‘powdery’ scent at first, but that went away very quickly. I can’t detect the coffee note, but the overall effect is perfect. This has a wonderful vanilla and tea undertone – the entire combination is exactly what I like a perfume to be! Not as strongly intense as Pink Sugar, which makes it good for a more subtle scent. It is sweet, but not too much and has the depth and warmth that make it pretty much ‘perfect’ for me. And definitely a happier price than Flowerbomb 😉

    WOW is what I thought upon first spraying Pink Sugar Sparks…as a lover of sweet scents that have a hint of darkness in them, this is absolutely my perfect gourmand. The patchouli tempers the sweetness just enough, without really calling attention to itself, and it’s more peppery than hippie. Sugared raspberries come out after the first sweet, peppery phase. I really don’t smell too much similarity to the original Pink Sugar, other than that they are equally sweet–but where the original is cotton candy and licorice, this is raspberry ice cream on a waffle cone, with a side of sweet tea. I do smell the tea in the top and heart. Very long-lasting on my skin (8+ hours), with good sillage for hours of that time. *sigh* I love it.

    The patchouli, coffee and vanilla come out on me and last a long time. It’s wonderful.

    Even though I can’t stand patchouli, I’m kinda interested in seeing what this smells like. Is this available at any stores aside from amazon and ebay?! And aside from Nordstrom because there are none in my state.

    Very Nice fragrance considering it reminds me of my favorite fragrance-Flowerbomb-Viktor & Rolf
    Not sure if it lasts quite as long as the flowerbomb, im yet to try on my skin,
    this fragrance very similar to original-pink sugar, but notr quite as sickly sweet. I love it and will consider buying this next instead of my usual signature scent-Flowerbomb!!!

    I really liked this scent, however it just didn’t last long on me. I brought a small size to work and had to spray it a few times every couple hours just to smell it. Does anyone know of something similar with better longevity?? xD

    I finally got this today from Nordies and yes, it was a blind buy. While I like it, I don’t know if I want to keep it. On my skin, the tea note lasts forever and that bothers me a little. Finally the dry down comes and I can barely smell the vanilla and coffee which is a little disappointing as well. The lasting power is pretty good though so that’s one thing going for it. I wish my skin didn’t hold on to that tea note for so long; if it didn’t it would be perfect. This one is totally different from the other Pink Sugars; it’s a little “darker’ if that makes sense, and that’s not a bad thing either. It was really warm today (upper 80’s with high humidity) when I wore it, so that could have something to do with bringing out the tea note more. As of right now, I’m still on the fence about keeping it; I may send it back. I really want to wait until cooler weather to try it again, so I will definitely update.
    UPDATE: Well, I ended up sending this back to Nordies a few days ago to exchange it for something else. I wish it had worked with my skin, but the tea note was something I just didn’t want in this fragrance and my skin just held on to that note for dear life. I don’t have anything bad to say about it, other than I wish it had worked for me.

    I agree with Jonr951. Bond No. 9 NY for All is a good comparison, but I couldn’t tolerate that one because it had much too much black pepper in the base. So Pink Sugar Sparks it a better fit for me.

    Ok I’m probably the only one and a little crazy but Sparks reminds me of the Bond No. 9 NY for all! The black bottle. I REALLY want that one so now I’m just going to get Sparks and say I’m wearing the Bond! Haha I’m bad! : )
    Oh and I officially think I like it more than the original. : )

    Oh WOW! If you are turned off by the heavy licorice in the original Pink Sugar, you must give this a shot. Sparks is just as potent and every bit as delicious as the original. In comparison to Pink Sugar Sensual, Sparks is stronger and has lots of raspberry. I didn’t find Sensual to be gourmand, but Sparks is definitely “edible” like the original. It starts out smelling very sweet with a bit of fruit. Be sure to wait for the drydown! Instead of creamy caramel like the first Pink Sugar, the drydown is mostly rich vanilla with a whisper of cappuccino. It reminds me a bit of a waffle cone. Just DELICIOUS!!!

    I thought I would mention that while I do love the perfume, the matching body lotion has a weird smell to it. It’s almost a plastic-milky scent. I definitely prefer the edt, and kind of regret the additional purchase of the lotion.

    I received this today. It starts out beautifully, and is almost a dark pink sugar. It’s like they took a mix of pink sugar and ps sensual, and added patchouli to it. I like patchouli, so it works for me. A couple of times I thought I detected the tea, but it’s so faint that it didn’t bother me (I generally don’t like tea in perfumes).
    In the drydown, the patchouli mellows and goes softer. The coffee and vanilla kick in on me, and I love it! Now I want to buy the lotion and shower gel too. Gorgeous scent! Not sure I would want to wear this on a hot summer day, but I will love wearing it in the fall or a summer evening. It’s a keeper!
    Edit- I’m wearing it today in hot/humid weather. It’s actually working just fine. Love it more and more!
