If the color pink had a smell, this would be it...

The Bottom Line: A great choice if you like a sweet, floral scent.
Victoria's Secret Pink is one of my personal favorites. It's a very sweet fragrance that has a light floral smell.
While I like several other Victoria's Secret perfumes, PInk is completely different than any of them. It smells much more youthful and playful. It's a great weekend perfume, but I do wear it to work sometimes. If I were still in college, I'd probably wear it more, but I don't like to wear really young-smelling scents all the time now for fear I won't be taken seriously.
I've been wearing Pink a few days a week for a year or so, and it's the only perfume I've ever worn that gets a, "You smell good!" reaction from strangers and acquaintances (especially male ones).
I do think it's a little too strong, so I try to spray it on carefully. One squirt will usually do the trick, and if I do two I usually worry that I'm wearing too much.
Pink's smell is pretty distinctive. The only similar fragrances I have are Jennifer Lopez Live and Anna Sui Dolly Girl, but both of them are a little stronger florals and not nearly as sweet.
Pink's packaging is attractive, but not too flashy. Victoria's Secret often puts out some cute Pink gift sets that would make great gifts for a wife, girlfriend or daughter. (That's just a hint for any guys reading this review.) There are have also been several limited edition Pink fragrances put out over the years. While I don't own any of them, I've checked out most of them in the stores, and they all smell pretty good.
As far as I know, Pink is only available at Victoria's Secret stores and at VictoriasSecret.com. It's pretty expensive when purchased by itself...$47 for a 2.5 oz, $27 for a .5 oz. Personally, I prefer to buy the gift sets that include body lotion and/or a cute bag for not much more.
I will definitely be buying Pink again, and I'll probably invest in a bigger bottle next time. I can't wear it every day, but it is definitely one of my favorites perfumes.
