Touch of Pink by Lacoste was introduced on the market in 2004. It is a fruity, floral scent packaged in a very eye-catching bottle. The base of the tall and slender bottle is bright pink, which gradually fades into white as it gets near the top. It’s simple but very pretty!
When you first spray the perfume on, it has a strong fruity and sweet scent of blood orange with a hint of cardamom, which gives the fragrance a slight spiciness that compliments the orange note very well. The top notes, however, soon disappear and are replaced by a flower blend.
Despite the middle notes, jasmine and violet, being floral, the scent is not too floral and sweet, which is something that really puts me off in a perfume. The drydown is musky and sweet: the vanilla note is very prominent and complimented by just a hint of musk.
The perfume is light which makes it suitable for daytime and perfect to wear in the summer. It’s not the most original fragrance on the market, but still it’s nice and would suit women of all ages.
Touch of Pink is an Eau De Toilette and that’s why the staying power isn’t very good. It only last 3-4 hours on me and I constantly need to reapply it throughout the day.
Summary:
Touch of Pink is a light and sweet fruity/floral scent with a musky drydown which is perfect for summertime. The staying power is very poor but since this is an Eau De Toilette, it is to be expected.
Rating: 3.5/5

I think it still depends on the brand though…The Guerlain/YSL/Escada I have all last for a whole day (24 hours) Dior seems to linger forever as well while Anna Sui disappears with in 2 hours…

Citrine: usually eau de toilette scents are light and not very concentrated, so they don’t last long. But some of them have amazing staying power, which can surprise as one doesn’t usually expect it.
Nikki: lucky you! I wish it would last longer on me too. How do you like it?
Dao: can’t wait to hear what you think of it. I agree with you, I don’t like to wear strong and heavy scent in the summertime.
