*****
Year: 2012

Notes: lemon, orange, strawberry, clove, elemi, rose, vanilla, caramel, praline, cedar
Undergreen is one niche house that has failed to set the niche fragrance world alight. Sadly, Pink isn't going to do much to turn around this house's fortunes.

As expected, it's a very feminine fruity-gourmand, with a highly notable scratchy or powdery demeanour. All the chords are clearly represented and well-proportioned, and the composition follows the contemporary gourmand formula to a tee.

But for all its excessively sweet and creamy fruitiness, that scratchy or powdery aspect (which comes across as yeast-like) fails to completely subside. When it finally does, the most intriguing accords have already faded, leaving a humdrum praline, caramel and cedar drydown.

If it wasn't for the intrusive yeast-like effect, it might have been awarded an extra star. Both sillage and tenacity are respectable.
