Icing Pink
Note Profile
About
Icing Pink is the smell of pink fondant and decorative sugar on a cake. Its one description calls it pure, unadulterated sweetness. It carries no fat, no browning and no spice. The pink is a decorating choice rather than a flavour. Only one commercial product bearing the name ties it to a fruit.
Scent Profile
Icing Pink smells like pure, sweet sugar icing, bright and flat rather than rich. A vanilla-sugar sweetness leads, with a caramel edge behind it. A dry, powdery dust from the icing sugar itself runs through it. There is no fat, no browning and no spice, only a faint whipped-cream touch and a trace of strawberry at the very back, kept deliberately light.

Origin
A prepared confection with no extract behind it. Fondant is confectioners' sugar worked with water and glycerin, then coloured, and it is the construction The Scent Base names for this note. Wikipedia's identity text says an icing can be flavoured and coloured as wanted, so the colour word marks the decoration and not the recipe. No source found names the molecules perfumery uses to build this note in particular.
Usage in Perfumery
The Scent Base lists 7 perfumes carrying it, from Vilhelm Parfumerie, Eudora, Bath & Body Works and Michela Mezzetti Parfums. None of those houses appear on the same site's buttercream or halva pages. The site records the note as a foundation under sweet, fruity, nutty and powdery accords. That clause says what icing pink is blended into, not what it smells like, so none of it is scored here, including the word powdery.
