Pink Friday Deluxe Edition.

Here we have the spinoff scent of Nicki Minaj's debut fragrance, Pink Friday. 

The deluxe edition is a pure perfume which is vastly different from an eau de toilette. The difference is mainly in the volume of the essential fragrances used to create the spray. Pink Friday Deluxe Edition uses the same scents as its successor, only intensified! This is NOT a good thing!

First off, I was super excited to pick this puppy up! Even if I did have to spend $100. But, with a sale price, I got the Deluxe Edition for $75. I thought this was a steal...I was wrong. I found out exactly why a lot of us prefer eau de toilettes per "eau de parfum." This fragrance is supposed to have the same scents as Pink Friday. Basically they have a higher concentration so they fade off at a slower rate on your skin. But all I smell in this is the musk and woodsy scents. I don't smell any of the starfruit or mango which are my favorites of Pink Friday.

Onto the bottle. Basically the main reason I bought it. Deluxe Edition is a glossier take on its big sister. Nicki's bust is gold with a glosses black wig. The only bad thing about the bottle? It's not see through like the previous scent or the other Minaj fragrances. Therefor you can't tell how much you have left. Now my Pink Friday and Minajesty are half empty. However this edition will most likely forever remain full. I've used it 3 times. Not even kidding. It's so bad I can even recount when I used it! Not a good sign in my fragrance collection. 

My mother suggested I resell it seeing as how I still have the box. I never throw the boxes away...but I am a completist. I mainly wanted it for the collection. So Pink Friday Deluxe Edition stays put!

So here is the final grade. I didn't expect this to be so overbearing. It reminds me too much of a cologne. The scent gets a 3/10 from me. After it settles (like hours later) it's bearable. I can't give it that much.

The price gets a 1/10. If you aren't looking to just collect the bottle, it's not worth it. Don't buy it as a gift, don't buy it just for something to wear. Take your money and invest in Pink Friday or Minajesty.

The bottle, it's saving grace, is 10/10. And the box, which I will post pics of soon, is cool as well. So pretty much the bottle makes up for the entire mistake of buying this.
