Musky - vanilla - warm powdery

Not sure about this stuff. The opening gives me a funky bubble gummy spiciness and sticky inferior floral patch that gives me impression of a grandma wearing like a cheerleader but patience is the key. The very dry down proclaims a very sheer and nice musk.

Powder Compact Overload

A rose blossom that's been powdered with a spicy talc. At first. Nanadebary Pink isn't very impressive. It's all powder to me after the initial drydown. Powder for a few hours.
You know your cosmetic bag that you've carried from purse to purse for ages and rarely clean out? It has a particular odor to it. It's an accumulation from the powders, the brushes and the make-up that's dropped to the bottom of the bag. It's not a bad smell at all. It's just a cosmetics smell. That's exactly what I smell when I smell my arm wearing Classic Pink. What a very strange perfume to smell like this. I can very easily smell this at home by opening a powder compact.
As far as the bottle...it isn't sexy, it's flat out demeaning. It's similar to some mud flaps on tractor-trailer trucks. Why in heaven's name would I want that caricature on my vanity?

Remember Pink Champale on Ice? No?!

This is zesty light and fizzy to me nose. Very flirty and feminine, but I can't help but sense that I've come across a similar composition in a Victoria Secret store or Bath & Body Works before (no offense) it just doesn't match the associated hype. It's bubbly, bright, dry-fruity, fresh and totally devoid of intensity or emotion. It does seem to brighten up a plain woody scent or cloying cherry marzipan scent when layered over top, but for me it seems a bit astringent, thin and like the bubbles off of cheap Rose Brut. The ginger tingles the tip of my nose, but after that I catch a touch of jasmine and baby powdery iris, the sandalwood is in my imagination, I'm sure and then that's the end of the story for me. I don't dislike this scent, but I don't think it would make it into my cult favorite group for Niche fragrances. The longevity is also mediocre after the first hour and that puts me right into the "forgettable" file.

More for Cheerleaders Than Femmes Fatales

Nanadebary CLASSIC PINK is a simple, slightly sweet and spicy sandalwood scent to my nose. I also smell cedar, but the florals are shrouded by the spices and wood. I'd call this composition an oriental woody, not a floral woody musk, as the florals and the musk are pretty difficult to discern. CLASSIC PINK seems unisex to me, in part because of the detectable nutmeg note, which blends nicely with the woods.

Everything seems very well thought out and perfectly measured, but there's no real passion here. CLASSIC PINK is very smooth and likeable--with low sillage and good longevity--but may be too tame and well-behaved to please a true femme fatale such as the vixen depicted on the bottle. Something along the lines of Mauboussin HISTOIRE D'EAU might be more her speed...
