PINK MOLéCULE 090.09 by Zarkoperfume is a Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance for women and men - pink champagne and apricot with Nordic woods underneath. Black elder and black orchid keep the fruit from going syrupy, and the fizz hangs on far longer than it has any right to. Whipped cream, blackwood and mahogany land it somewhere between dessert and forest floor. "Pink champagne over dark wood - celebration with an edge."
