Aquolina will launch Black Sugar, the latest in the brand's series of variations on their popular 2003 Pink Sugar fragrance, in October:
In Black Sugar, the sweetness of Pink Sugar meets Oud, a unique and evocative essence hailing from the Middle East. In this totally new and unexpected fragrance, the distinctive features of Pink Sugar – sweetness, persistence and preciousness – are enhanced by a twist of Oud. The composition is warmed up by the classic timeless notes of Sandalwood, Incense, Myrrh and Leather, creating a unique oriental, gourmand and balmy note in a sophisticated black bottle with refined golden details.
Additional notes include vanilla and raspberry.
Aquolina Black Sugar will be available in 100 ml.

Pink Sugar meets Oud……Eeek!
I like sandalwood, incense myrrh and leather – if only they stoppped there before adding vanilla and raspberry. I get this image of a ice cream sundae offered by a large hand in black leather glove. Quite disturbing…
It might be my favorite line from a fragrance description for 2013.
Ok, I know oud is EVERYWHERE, but I really wasn’t expecting this one! Haha! Can’t wait for BS Oud Fantasy, or DKNY Be Delicious Oud! ; )
Hey, it’s already in fragrances from Jovan & The Body Shop. I think you can expect it anywhere and everywhere!
Oud is so played out..come up with something original. Ugh.
Lol..PS meets oud…oud dear..I think I will pass.
You know, they’ve done a good job on some of their scents…I wouldn’t mind trying it. Probably too sweet for me, but might be fun, who knows.
Oh, Chocolovers – you are mourned. At least by me.
Yeah, that one really was fun.
I only liked Chocolovers, until they bring that back, I am just not interested in this line. Yes, I am bitter! LOL.
Well, yes, this was “unexpected!” Ack.
But I do love that bottle. Maybe I’ll be able to pick it up at a tag sale some day.
You never know! I don’t know how widely they’re distributing some of their newer scents though.
What a hilarious concept! I actually love Pink Sugar for occasional wear (when I want to smell like crème brûlée), but I cannot see how the addition of oud would improve it.
I really love all that deep sophisticated-myrrh-and-leather-speak in a black and gold bottle followed by – in a Mickey Mouse voice – ‘additional notes include raspberry and vanilla’!
Imagining roasting and burning marshmallow on a stick of Oud! Sounds like something that requires a cooler time of year to handle but very tempting none the less.
Gold sugar was nowhere as delicious nor yummy coconutty like I anticipated. Hope this one has some intensity!
Raspberry…and leather? Vanilla and raspberry, I get. Incense and leather, I get (and? yum!) But all of those together…No. Oh, please, no.
Love the tags!
