What does Candy L'Eau smell like?
It opens with citrus fruits, and sweet pea gives the heart a soft floral touch. Benzoin, caramel and white musk sweeten the base, leaving a fresh, fruity, powdery gourmand character.
Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it leaves a quiet, close trail. Most voters pick spring, followed by fall and summer, and it leans towards daily and leisure wear, with business use close behind. Most see it as feminine and modern. Dior Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet and Prada Candy Florale have a close profile.
