OK!: How did you come up with the scent?
Snooki: Well I have two fragrances. My first one ("Snooki" by Nicole Polizzi) I wanted it to be very sweet and flirty smelling, so I added cupcake notes to make it smell like cotton candy. Then for "Snooki Couture" I wanted it to smell more sexy, so I had notes like cashmere woods and apple blossom to make it mature smelling, but still sexy!
