CreamyWhat does Candy Dust smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick summer and spring, with fall and winter further behind. It is chosen mostly for leisure and daily wear, and it also suits the office.
It opens with raspberry, pear and bergamot, then softens into peony, milk and chewy candy at the heart. The base of sugar powder, tonka bean, moss and orcanox dries down sweet, powdery and creamy.
