After my Thierry Mugler Angel era, I still wanted something gourmand, just a little softer. Then I found Pink Sugar.

That was almost 25 years ago, and I had never received so many compliments on a perfume. People constantly wanted to know what I was wearing. It was sweet, warm, playful and completely addictive without feeling heavy.

When I finally found a fragrance inspired by it, making the candle was not enough. I had to make the perfume too. Some memories simply belong on your skin.

Pink Confection opens with cotton candy, raspberry, strawberry and sweet orange. Vanilla, fig, flower petals and bergamot soften the sweetness before caramel, powder, musk and warm woods settle into a smooth, comforting finish.

It wears close enough to feel personal, but leaves a soft trail that makes people lean in and ask, “What are you wearing?”

For some, it will be an entirely new fragrance. For others, one spray will unlock a whole chapter of their life.
