Pros & Cons
- ✅ Yes, Pink Flamingos is similar to LPRN extrait (which I own and love), but it's still very different, if that makes any sense. As someone already said, this one is fizzy, and I agree. It's also more light-hearted and fun than LPRN. It's sweet and powdery, and there's no question it smells slightly of cherry, but it's not obnoxious. The sillage is great and longevity is at least 12 hours. PF is fbw for me, but rather than paying $300/bottle for it, I bought numerous 4ml. samples on eBay.
- ✅ Right when I spray this on, I can tell, 'Yup, that's cherry in there.' It isn't a really juicy cherry though. That sweet edge is taken off by iris (calm down, Prada) and very subtle rose. I'm surprised how quiet this rose is. It makes the whole thing radiant and fizzy. As this one wears, the cherry becomes more and more prominent, yet it doesn't become stronger with wear. It's such a cute, innocent fragrance, very light and sweet near the end of its wear.
- ✅ This is a fun fresh girly perfume you would put on after applying makeup. Violet and cherry dominate. Very fun and hard to find!
- ✅ This is probably the best cherry perfume with iris. I love it. It is humble, tender, intimate, slightly powdery. Smelling very pink. However, the longevity and projection are extremely week. :-( Anyway, I still love it.
- ✅ Just got my FB. What an adorable scent. First of all, there is Prada exclusive DNA very noticeable - this light and slightly musky iris with champagne fizziness, a distinct theme which I also feel in Cargo Nuit or Tainted Love. So, yes, splashes of sparkles and powdery cherry right from the start.
- ❌ I'll start buy saying that I've finally bought this super pricey fragrance I had been pining over for years - blindly - and I'm incredibly disappointed in Prada. To my nose, it starts with a strong blast of Iso E Super which eventually settles into a powdery cherry. Within 10 minutes it becomes a skin sent that practically stays the same for an hour or so before it's gone. I love the scent, but for the price tag I expected a LOT more performance! This gets a disappointing 3/10 from me.
- ❌ I have a generous-sized manufacturer's sample of Pink Flamingos. It's an extremely subtle fragrance, and stays close to the body. I get mostly the iris and light musk. Nothing special.
