The cutesy Pink line from Victoria's Secret seems to understand your craving for a fruity cocktail while relaxing in the sun, so now there's a limited-edition eau de parfum for Summer 2008 called Isle of Pink ($47).
It's a candy-sweet, fruity, and floral blend of raspberry, tulip, currant, mango, apple, coconut water, heliotrope, freesia water, rose nectar, amber, cashmere musk, and vanilla bean. The round bottle is pink-and-white striped, the juice is a pale pink and it comes packaged in a cheeky pink-striped drawstring bag.
The idea is cute and the fragrance has potential, but I have just one quibble with Victoria's Secret: Why the overly saccharine scent in every darn product? This is a must-have for teen queens, but a little too adolescent for anyone who is old enough to legally drink a Pina Colada.

Well, I'm 31, and I must say, I don't really find it too adolescent, but I'm a fruity sweet scent kind of gal. It's a very pretty scent, a little sweeter than last year's Pink Beach, but I actually like it better. I've been wearing it for a week, and I have received many compliments on it.
If you're not into the fruity smells, I would recommend the new Very Sexy Now fragrance from VS. It's very fresh, clean, and perfect for summer. It's not too fruity or sweet, but very pretty and well, very sexy. I enjoy all of the Victoria's Secret fragrances for the simple fact that none of them give me a headache. I can wear very few perfumes in the department stores. However, my allergies and sensitive sinuses are not bothered by VS fragrances one bit.
