Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Looks good without trying too hard.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

What does Candy Rose smell like?
It opens with lychee, blood orange and red fruits, a bright, sugary fruit note. In the heart, rose, lily of the valley and patchouli bring the floral side forward, with the patchouli adding a slight woody depth. White musk and vanilla dry it down into a powdery, gourmand sweetness.
Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the occasions named most often. More than half of voters find it feminine.
