What does Candy from Strangers smell like?

It opens with green mandarin orange, bergamot and lavender, then moves into a powdery, fruity floral heart of iris, jasmine, violet and raspberry. The base is led by patchouli, sandalwood, leather, amber and caramel, where the woody and leathery side softens the sweetness.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Voters lean towards fall, winter and spring, and name evening, leisure and night out as the main occasions. It reads slightly more feminine, though modern and masculine votes are there too. Dior Dior Homme (2005) and Cartier Délices de Cartier (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
