What does Hard Candy smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind. Leisure is the most chosen setting, followed by nights out and daily wear.

It opens with rhubarb, pink pepper and white tea, which give it a fresh, lightly spicy start. In the heart, jasmine, rose and passion fruit add a floral, fruity sweetness. In the base, vanilla and caramel bring out the gourmand side, while cedar and musk settle it onto a powdery footing.
