Minaj surprised fans with this perfume due to its toned-down look (compared to her bright, vibrant perfume bottles in previous years). If you are a fan of pears then this perfume could be your next go-to spray if you are heading out with friends. However, having it rely on a pear scent so much limits the perfume to a specific scent and doesn’t stand out as much as her older perfumes. The Pinkprint (2015) So there you have it, the fragrance that has everyone talking. Minajesty, the perfect choice for any queen looking to reign supreme.

This is a playful and sweet fragrance with tones of star fruit, jasmine, vanilla, and pear – a super juicy signature scent! A perfect fragrance to match Minaj’s bubblegum pink look in 2012 and the pop sound on her Pink Friday album. The alcohol group of cyclotene can form ethers, which are also used in perfume composition. According to some reports, Alberto Morillas added a trace quantity of one super secret Firmenich captive amyl ether of ocyclotene (close to cis-jasmon by its structure) to his Mugler Cologne. It has a saline effect, along with its maple syrup and anis sweetness. Some bottles even include accessories you can wear, like the bracelet on Queen. This makes them great for anyone who likes to accessorize their look with perfume! Scent Adjacent Celebrity Fragrances Minajesty Exotic Edition Alternative: Rogue Love by Rihanna– another celebrity perfume, with tones of peach, coconut and jasmine.

Of course, the use of maltol and ethyl maltol is not limited to gourmand compositions, in reasonable quantities they are added to floral, fruity, and even woody (especially coniferous-balsamic) fragrances.

The Latin word furfur means bran, therefore furfural can be extracted by heating bran, corncobs, cane sugar meal, or just sawdust in concentrated sulfuric acid. It is a completely renewable resource. At the beginning of the 1940s, maltol was produced on an industrial scale, but it was the flavor industry that first took an interest in the compound, since it turned out to be very useful in the reconstruction of a variety of flavors – from soups and ketchup (50-100 parts per million) to all kinds of confectionery (up to 3300 ppm). Minaj’s last perfume linked perfectly with her Queen album release in 2018. It is clear Minaj wanted her fans to celebrate the “Queen in all of us” and this perfume stands out as a bold and confident fragrance. Another popular fan favorite! Fans were eager for another iconic bust bottle and Minaj delivered an ‘on-brand bottle with her iconic pink wig. This perfume was a change from Minaj’s earlier star fruit sweet tones, as it used tonka beans and musk tones to create a more mature fragrance. Again this perfume doesn’t last super long so (sadly) doesn’t get a 5 star from me. Onika (2014)Special Edition Pink Friday hits just right for those who prefer a bright, clean scent. And the Deluxe Edition fits perfectly for a night out on the town, with its more woody undertone. As you can see from the list, most scents are fruity and sweet, so you may need to look at base notes to find the right one for you. If you prefer warmer, caramel scents, you might like Pink Friday best. Pinkprint is a tropical, citrusy scent for lovers. Change it up at night with a more woody, musky scent like Queen. Queen Alternative: CLOUD by Ariana Grande – if you want a perfume similar to Queen then grab Ariana Grande’s perfume CLOUD. With a creamy coconut base, this is an affordable daytime perfume. Like her previous fragrances, the bottle for The Pinkprint features a bust with a gold head. The bottle itself is clear with pink fingerprint-style detailing. The lips on the 100ml and 50ml bottles are pink, while they are left gold on the 30ml bottle. But what exactly makes Minajesty so special? Well, for starters, its name alone is enough to make you feel like a boss. Minajesty is a combination of “Minaj” & “majesty”, meaning you’ll exude both the sass & the class of the rap queen herself.

Initially, when Givaudan introduced this compound, Levistamel was mainly used to reduce the amount of vanillin used in perfume, while preserving its overall sweetness. It was truly recognized when Maurice Roucel, a master of overdosing, put Levistamel in the center of his gourmand coffee fougère Rochas Man. At the same time another remarkable perfume, Yohji Homme, was released. But don’t just take our word for it. Research has shown that certain scents can affect our moods & emotions. For example, the scent of vanilla has been found to have a calming effect, while the scent of jasmine can boost confidence & self-esteem. So, not only will you smell amazing, you’ll also feel amazing.Pink Friday was the perfect perfume for Minaj to release as her first fragrance. With such a close link to her hit album, Pink Friday, fans were eager for more iconic bust bottles of Minaj’s. This perfume is a hit with those who like sweet tones (delicious star fruit and vanilla!) but doesn’t get the 5-star rating due to the longevity of the perfume being weak and needing top-ups. Minajesty (2013) Heart Notes: At the heart of the fragrance, you’ll find the lush aroma of tropical flowers & coconut water, which is sure to make you feel like you’re on a Caribbean island. Methyl cyclopentenolone is closer to a maple syrup kind of scent; it is also known as cyclotene, or maple lactone. As in the case of maltol, the replacement of methyl with ethyl allows to increase the intensity of its fragrance; ethyl cyclopentenolone (ECP), or ethyl cyclotene smells several times stronger. Just like maltols, cyclopentenolones can form fruity-flavored esters. The pear, carambola, and mandarin orange notes are refreshingly crisp and clean. The top notes are Osmanthus, Orchid, and Water Lily – all of which give it a soft floral touch.
