CreamyWhat does Candy (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
White musk opens clean and soft, and Siam benzoin brings a warm, powdery creaminess to the heart. Caramel dominates the base, so the scent stays sweet, oriental and lightly spicy throughout, with a synthetic sheen.
Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening and leisure wear lead the occasions. It reads feminine and modern. Giardini di Toscana Bianco Latte and LPDO La Nuit Blanche have a close profile.
