Community Insights
MixedBased on 25 community opinions from Reddit
5.5
/ 10 community score
Pinrose has attractive, well-marketed fragrances with some standout scents like Pillowtalk Poet and Gilded Fox, but the brand suffers from weak longevity and projection across most of its lineup. Community consensus is that the fragrances are better suited as budget purchases on sale or secondhand rather than full-price purchases, and they work best for intimate wear or layering rather than all-day projection.
Strengths
- Beautiful, unique scent profiles (especially Pillowtalk Poet and Gilded Fox)
- Good value on sale or secondhand market (often $18-$40)
- Decent longevity for delicate scents (lasts into next day with proper application)
Weaknesses
- Poor longevity and projection overall (weak sillage, fades quickly)
- Overpriced at full retail ($77) for relatively simple fragrances
- Most scents smell like generic shampoo or are overly simplistic
