PINK Just Relaunched Their Iconic Square Bottle Body Mists—and They’re Already Selling Out

“Oh my god, I was just transported to the middle school locker room,” said beauty assistant Jasmine Hyman as I opened the box of PINK’s Bringback Collection, the return of the iconic square bottle fragrance mists from the early 2000s. Just one look at these bottles immediately takes you back to your youth. The pool parties, the gymnasium dances, the Friday night football games—it all floods back to me as I’m staring at these bottles.Nostalgia has taken over every aspect of our lives, beauty included. Who wouldn’t want to be reminded of simpler times, before we had to crunch numbers to pay for a $16 lunch salad or swipe endlessly on our phones to flirt with someone? That’s precisely why PINK is back with its body mists. Nearly every brand has launched its own already, but PINK knows it’s owned the category for nearly two decades (sorry if I just made you feel old too).Beth Gillette/CosmopolitanThe collection includes three blast-from-the-past scents: Hot Crush, Pretty and Pure, and Total Flirt. They’re exactly the same as they were back in the day, even down to the square bottle we all had in our bookbags and dressers.Victoria’s Secret PINK Hot Crush Fragrance MistVictoria’s Secret PINK Pretty and Pure Fragrance MistVictoria’s Secret PINK Total Flirt Fragrance MistWhen I paraded around the office with these, everyone “ooh”-ed and “awe”-d. Deputy editor Emma Baty even asked if I had these from middle school and brought them in for fun, in complete shock that they were back and brand new for purchase.Beth Gillette/CosmopolitanHot Crush was the clear favorite, with warm amber and peach notes. “This is the one I’d wear as an adult,” says Baty, who aptly described this scent as reminding her of a sleepover. Entertainment editor Tamara Fuentes said it smelled like “vacation bible school” (throwback!). “It’s like summertime, hanging out with the girlies,” she says. “We were way too young to be wearing these, but we were obsessed, texting on a flip phone.”Add Cosmopolitan as a preferred source in your Google search results.Use your Google account to add this to your settings.Beth Gillette/CosmopolitanPretty and Pure was loved by many on our team, including Hyman, who ended up dousing herself with about 10 spritzes in the middle of the workday. “These are so nostalgic for her that they just make me think of different things from my youth,” Baty says, noting that this scent reminds me of going to the pool with your friends in the summer. Makes sense: This includes notes of jasmine, melon, and pink lemonade. I want to spend a day at the beach, then come home, take an everything shower, and then coat myself in this from head to toe.Beth Gillette/CosmopolitanTotal Flirt, with apple blossom and soft musk notes, was somewhat polarizing, potentially because it’s the most Y2K scent. “Smells like seventh grade,” says assistant news editor Sam Olson. “There’s a nostalgia there, but I don’t want to smell like this now as a 27-year-old.” But Baty loved it. “It’s very summery to me,” she says.All three scents are available now at Victoria’s Secret, but they’re selling out fast.
