Candie's

What can I say? I LOVE it! It's hard to find, I bought it on ebay and I'm planning to buy MORE before it totally runs out of the market as other great fragrances that get discontinued. It's citrus fresh on the beginning then it dries down to amber "settle person but not old" (O_o). Not good longevity, like 1-3 hours on my skin, and the sillage when you spray it on it's great but as the time passes I just feel it near my skin. It's not totally girly fragrance like bunch of fruits and flowers and bees and weehhh rolling down the flowery hill with a cloudy dress; even tho it's youthful... how can I say... Let's say 18+ lol. Well I think it was in here (or amazon o.O?) that I read it was famous on its time cuz it was the "stripper's fave fragrance". How come they discontinued it! Strippers still want to smell good, I want to smell Candie's! XD. Either way, this perfume took me back to 2001 when I first smelled it and tolly love it! Fresh, citrus, free, careless, relaxed...

I recently picked up a bottle of this when I found it for maybe $10 @ a Burlington or Marshall's...cant remember which. Not sure why all the hate but I personally have loved this since it came out in my teens. Smells like a fresh fruit salad with a clean shower gel vibe. Shampoo like. To my nose it smells like pineapple (even though there is none) and mandarin oranges, with some bright and creamy tropical florals blended in. Nothing horrible nor great. Reminiscent of the late 90s and early 2000s. The bottles have been updated. Mine is a triangular shape with a pink cap and pink and orange ombre effect down the bottle. Great cheapie for warm weather. Takes me back to a happier, simpler time. Sits close to skin and has a soft sillage.

I found an old review I wrote for this scent and thought I'd share it here---also, let me add that right now, at 41 years old, this is still one of my favorite nostalgic scents. :) (2006 review): Let me start by saying that I'm not a cheerleader, I'm over 16, I don't wear pom-pom socks, and I don't think this smells like dead things. :-) I really enjoy this fragrance, its young, sweet, and fresh without being overpowering. I feel it lasts pretty long on me, especially when I layer it with the lotion and shower gel. It's an uplifting, feel-good perfume that has never once irritated my sinuses or given me headache (which, as sensitive as I am, thats rare!). Would definitely repurchase! Love it!

I've definitely smelled this before, although I have no idea where or when. It isn't the kind of scent that could be easily mistaken for anything else. On me I get powdery florals tucked into an almost caramel-like sweetness which I'm guessing is the fruit and amber. The fruity notes aren't in your face like with some other fragrances from this time period; the notes all play nicely with each other and produce a surprisingly complex, interesting, uplifting fragrance with good staying power and projection. I personally love it but be warned that it does smell like something a teenager would wear.

I had this in middle school when it first came out. I can't remember it being the most amazing perfume, but it was fresh, fruity and citrusy, and was a great perfume for the price.
