Potions Are In The Pink

By Kate Betts

Just as fashion and home furnishings follow color trends, so too do perfumes. Or at least that's the way it seems this season with the launch of three new designer fragrances all packaged in pink. Ralph Lauren's new Lauren Style even features pink "juice" inside the bottle. For Dutch design duo Viktor Horsting & Rolf Snoeren's first fragrance, Flowerbomb, the idea is to convey an explosion of flowers. And for Marc Jacobs' second scent, Blush, the name is self- explanatory. Pink isn't the only common message in these bottles--they also all feature floral top notes with heavy accents of jasmine and orange flower. With the onset of winter, you can already smell spring.
