Nicki Minaj Pink Friday is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Honorine Blanc. Pink Friday settles into a heart of Jasmine and Lotus, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, Vanilla, and Pear. Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A divisive celebrity scent that punches above its weight. While many find it irresistibly sweet and fruity, others are put off by a lack of depth and the infamous bottle. It's often compared to Juicy Couture's Viva La Juicy, though some claim Pink Friday has better performance.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Its sweet, fruity, and fresh profile makes it ideal for casual wear and dates, as it's often described as a compliment-getter. However, its often reported poor longevity and projection mean it's less suited for formal events or demanding office environments.

About

Pink Friday is a vibrant burst of candied fruit, leading with juicy pear and succulent tropical notes. As it settles, delicate jasmine and lotus petals emerge, softened by a creamy base of vanilla and caramel. A subtle woody musk grounds the sweetness, creating a playful yet alluring fragrance, like a sweet-tart covered in fine sugar.
