A Case of Mistaken Identity

I jumped in the elevator at work the other evening and another woman got on behind me. Immediately the small space filled with a large, flowery scent. I looked over at her and said, “You smell great! What are you wearing? Is it Gap So Pink!?” She replied, “No, Este Lauder Beautiful, but one of the side ones.” Apparently one of the Beautiful flankers (probably Beautiful Love based on its combination of big white flower notes and “mango mist,” whatever that is) to me smells *exactly* like Gap So Pink! Which in my mind is not a bad thing – I like Gap So Pink! – but with Pink costing, in its day, ~$26 for 100ml, and Beautiful Love coming in at $63.50 for 100ml, it is hard to imagine paying so much for a scent largely marketed to teens. So if you like Beautiful Love, perhaps now is the time to poke around on the net to find a heap bottle of Gap So Pink! While Gap no longer makes it, you can still find it around if you check.
