A better look at Nicki Minaj's perfume bottle
(original post)
International superstar and sought-after style and fashion muse Nicki Minaj announces the launch of her first fragrance, Pink Friday, in partnership with Elizabeth Arden, a global prestige beauty products company. The fragrance will debut in department stores nationwide September 2012.
“We are very pleased to partner with Nikki Minaj as she introduces her debut fragrance, Pink Friday,” said Kathy Widmer, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of Elizabeth Arden. “We believe this fragrance beautifully reflects her innovative and creative spirit, and we look forward to a long and rewarding partnership with her.”
“Pink Friday is a celebration of my life at this moment; it is a reflection of me as a creator, and an expression of me as a woman. I know my Barbz will connect with and appreciate each aspect – from the name, to the outrageous bottle design, to the vibrant colors that create their own song. Pink Friday shows off my personality and style; it’s exciting to express my voice through another dimension,” says Nicki Minaj. “I was involved in every aspect of the decision-making process – it seems easy because I always get this feeling inside: I know if something is right or wrong. Each detail needs to ‘wow’ me or it is not an option; that’s my way of composing perfection.”
A natural progression in her blossoming beauty empire, Pink Friday is Nicki Minaj’s first and signature scent. Pink Friday captures her vivacious personality and effervescence in both its intoxicating notes and thrilling presentation. The fragrance mixes complementary playful and sultry notes of juicy fruits, creamy vanilla and sensual musks to create an exhilarating scent that ignites beyond the senses.
THE FRAGRANCE
PINK FRIDAY is an Intoxicating Floral Musk
Sparkling with mouth-watering fruits, the fragrance imparts a playful cloud of pink floral petals that whisper the sultry warmth of vanilla, skin musks and woods.
TOP
The fragrance opens with mouth-watering fruits and exotic notes of Starfruit, Italian Mandarin and succulent Boysenberry that linger in a thirst-quenching sweetness
HEART
Whipped with pink shades of floralcy, the decadent bouquet inspires angels to play through a cloud of electric Lotus Flower and starry Jasmine Petals
DRYDOWN
The creamy indulgence of Vanilla and Carmelized Pear bask in the sultry warmth of Musks and Woods to wrap the skin in an addictive sensation
THE DESIGN
Striking from all angles, the stunning statuesque bottle, just like Nicki, shines in the spotlight. From the brilliant gilded facial features with radiant pink lips to her trademark pink hair, Nicki’s fashion couture styles the fragrance with incredible personal expression and eye-catching ‘must-have’ collector excitement. The deluxe size bottle features an original NICKI MINAJ nameplate necklace. The bold carton is distinguished by bright ombre shades of gold, pink and purple adorned by a golden chain border. The vibrant packaging features a bold silhouette impression of her voluptuous, ultra-feminine profile. For the finishing touch, the back panel captures an untamed original image of Nicki for her fans to absolutely cherish!

everyone's releasing ~~*~*~*~*~fragrances~~~**~~~* and shit, i can't keep up
also when will she stop with this pink friday shit?
But speaking of that, I got it in the mail today and it smells nothing like I thought it would. People were telling me that it's very sweet and floral, but I don't smell sweet or floral. I think I get mostly the incense.
and yess, ia. omg, all i smell is the incense mostly. what were they talking about. but nevertheless, i fucking love it. the only downfall is that it wears off too quickly. i just wanna keep on reapplying it soo many times lol.

Normally I'd say that the actual scent is the most important thing, but I don't even think the scent can mask how horribly tacky that bottle is. I honestly can't imagine higher-end department stores wanting to carry this willingly because of how horrible and childish it looks.
Semi OT - I finally bought Rih's rebl fleur and I love it.
