What does Candid smell like?

It opens with pink pepper, pear and angelica, then jasmine and caraway come forward. In the base, angelica returns alongside vanilla and cedar, settling into a soft, creamy sweetness.

Both longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick spring, though fall and summer follow close behind. It leans towards leisure, nights out and evenings, and reads slightly feminine while staying unisex. Volaré Angelique Noir and FOMO Eclat Noir have a close profile.
