Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday: Creepy or Chic?

Nicki Minaj's first perfume, Pink Friday, has been stirring up a lot of hype since its release on September 22nd. Named after her 2010 album, the perfume is a product of the rapper-turned-pop singer's collaboration with the Elizabeth Arden company. A quirky commercial features a gigantic, King Kong-like version of Nicki parading around NYC. 

"Pink Friday is a celebration of my life at this moment; it is a reflection of me as a creator, and an expression of me as a woman," said Nicki. "Pink Friday shows off my personality and style; it's exciting to express my voice through another dimension."

The perfume itself is intended to emphasize a flowery base with a musky twist. The top notes contain hints of starfuit, mandarin, and boysenberry, while the heart is a floral combination of lotus flower and jasmine. Finally, the base notes reflect vanilla, musk, and pear. 

Many fans have fallen in love with the flowery scent, while others are criticizing its similarities with Justin Beiber's latest creation, Someday. 

Whether you love or hate the perfume inside, the bottle is certainly worth taking a look at; it is a miniature of Nicki herself...complete with her trademark pink wig. In order to spray the perfume on, Nicki's head has to be popped off, and this design by Lance McGregor of Paul Meyers and Friends may seem a bit off-putting to some customers. This one is definitely an oddball, but it's up to the individual to decide if the bottle is creepy or chic.

Pink Friday eau de parfum can be purchased from Macy's in a 1.7 oz ($49) or 3.4 oz ($59) bottle, and if you don't want to go the whole mile, you can always check out the Pink Friday hair mist, which comes in a 5 oz ($22), more average looking bottle.
