I absolutely loved it; it’s a sweet-floral with a synthetic touch but delivers great results. People have already complimented me, and honestly, I don’t want to finish it. At first, it didn’t last long, but after letting it macerate for a few hours, it now lasts about six hours and lingers on clothes even more. For the price, which was around $15 USD plus tax, you can’t ask for more. It suits my thirties perfectly; after years with Fantasy, I’ve finally found my identity. I’m going to buy the body lotion to refresh and prolong it. Verdict: Scent 9/10, Longevity 6/10, Value 10/10, Sillage 6/10. Don’t be fooled by the celebrity endorsement; in my opinion, it doesn’t suit her well.

Before trying it, I’d already read divided opinions. The mind behind it is Nicki Minaj, a top global rapper, but don’t let that sway you: here we are to talk about the scent. It’s not a sophisticated jewel, but something simple and honest: it smells good, sweet and fresh at the same time, very subtle. The longevity is short; you need to reapply it several times a day. It suits any age, from 14 to 90, and it’s very economical. What more could you ask for? I love the bottle; it’s even prettier than in the photo, reminding me of old Avon colognes with angel or puppy shapes. Ideal for summer, for daytime, and for informal things like going to the pool or doing the shopping.

When I tried it for the first time, I quite liked it; it’s exactly what I usually wear: sweet, fruity, and fresh. Nothing particularly original or special, but pleasant enough. I bought it online because it wasn’t very expensive. I wear it to work and have received compliments; people tend to like it, but it doesn’t entirely comfort me. It’s similar to Viva la Juicy but of poorer quality, more stale and synthetic… and that’s why I find it unpleasant to wear on my skin for many hours. The bottle is very strange; I’m not sure if it’s charming or sinister, so I keep it at the bottom of my wardrobe to avoid seeing it too often.

It starts citrusy, with a somewhat synthetic but wearable starfruit. As it dries down, the starfruit remains with a juicy pear and a hint of caramel, leaving a sweet finish. The lotus flower is barely noticeable; it’s a casual day scent, ideal for summer, nothing heavy or tiresome. At a super price, around $15 USD. It leaves a soft caramel scent on clothes and lasts about six hours, with a sillage noticeable well beyond where it’s applied. As a man, I’ve been complimented many times. Scent 9, Sillage 7, Longevity 8.

The first time they showed it to me, I thought: ‘Who could possibly keep that in their room?’. But let’s be honest, the scent isn’t out of the ordinary; it reminds me of Paris Hilton perfumes. It’s truly not innovative. While it is sweet and very soft, it doesn’t last at all, not even beyond the immediate area where you apply it. I certainly wouldn’t buy it. I thought it would smell sweeter, but it’s not innovative. I liked it, but I don’t plan on purchasing it.

They gave it to me because I’m a huge Nicki Minaj fan. It’s a very particular aroma, similar to ‘Someday’ and ‘Viva La Juicy’. It’s half sweet, citrusy and fruity; the difference is that Pink Friday is softer and sweeter, with a more perceptible cherry note that makes it more pleasant. It lasted a long time on my skin, although the fixative depends on each person. The bottle is very creative; I have no other words. It’s a good perfume.

Watch out! This perfume has been reformulated. Previously, it was a sweet bomb of intense pure caramel; now it’s much more floral and the sillage is very skin-close. Friends, if you can get the old formula, do so, because the new version isn’t worth it. To identify it: look for non-frosted bottles, painted half in pearlescent white, with a darker liquid, like cream.

The bottle design of this perfume really caught my eye when I first saw it. My mother bought it for my 14th birthday (what a coincidence, it came with a pink bag that I wore three years ago). It’s youthful and sweet. I wore it throughout my first year of sixth form and have very fond memories of the scent, although nowadays I prefer fresher, citrusier fragrances.

The bottle caught my eye due to its shape; my mother bought it for my 14th birthday (and she also took advantage of the pink bag that came as a gift, which I used for three years). It’s youthful and sweet. I wore it throughout my first year of high school and have very fond memories, although now I lean more towards fresh and citrusy perfumes.

I love Nicki Minaj! It’s a totally soft aroma, within the world of fruity and sweet perfumes, it reminds me a lot of Justin Bieber’s Someday (which I also have), but Pink Friday is softer and has a more noticeable caramel note, although very subtle. The longevity leaves something to be desired, but the bottle is the hook of this perfume.

When I saw the bottle, I thought it would smell nice, but upon trying it, it was a complete disaster. It smelled so ordinary, vulgar and synthetic that I couldn’t believe it. What can one expect from someone whose only aim is to look like a gelatinous figure?

Upon seeing the bottle, I thought it would smell nice, but I tried it and what a disaster. I couldn’t believe it smelled so generic, vulgar, and synthetic. What can you expect from a brand whose only goal is to show off gelatinous buttocks?

The first time they showed it to me in a pharmacy, I fell in love, and my sister gifted it to me. Indeed, it smells delicious, but oh surprise! it doesn’t last absolutely nothing, not even leaving a trail. Super disappointing.
alegleason
It smells good, even if it’s not the best in the world. But give it a try, because I feel there are already many similar perfumes (Royal Revolution, Someday, Viva la Juicy, Live Luxe). Give it a chance; it’s quite sweet.

It’s a lovely perfume, seems like a perfect dupe for Juicy Couture’s Gold Couture. Opens with acidic fruits and then moves into pure caramel with vanilla, very tasty. The longevity is poor, just like the original.
Gary OM
Smells fantastic, lasts forever, and has those floral notes that make it lovely. Rarely do you find a scent like this. Even though it’s marketed for her, it’s a ten for me. Totally recommended! 🕉️🕉️🕉️

The scent is good, but on my skin it doesn’t last at all.

Hello, honestly, it doesn’t last and I didn’t enjoy it.
