What does Sweet like Candy (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick spring, then summer, and it suits daily and leisure wear more than evenings or the office. It reads feminine and modern. Ariana Grande Sweet Like Candy Limited Edition and Katy Perry Meow! Eau de Parfum have a close profile.

The top of Italian bergamot, pear and blackberry opens fruity. Frangipani, jasmine sambac and honeysuckle add a soft floral heart. In the base, blackcurrant liqueur, marshmallow and vanilla keep the sweetness going, while cashmere wood holds it on a powdery, creamy footing.
