Candy Rush

Longevity: In milan heat, I get around 10 hours with strong projection, transitioning to more of a skin scent between hours 11–14. Sillage: Very good. It leaves a noticeable scent trail. Gender: it is feminine leaning, but more unisex than something like Bianco Latte. Occation: It's a little too bold and gourmand for a formal work environment (for men imo). But works for everything else. Price: good value if you can buy in store. At €260 for 90ml, with 10% tax-free, it's genuinely good value given the longevity and sillage. But i see from other comments that it cost 500€ which i would never pay for a fragrance. Smell: Wonderful and addictive, and clearly distinct from Paper and Skin. In simple terms, it smells similar to cotton candy, but it's not sickly sweet in the slightest. As a man, some feminine fragrances can be so sweet they're overwhelming, but this is nothing like that. I haven't tried LDBS so I can't draw that comparison, but for me this felt genuinely unique. I've never encountered anything quite like it. With a 32% oil concentration, it radiates beautifully off the skin and earns every bit of its longevity. A 10/10 true headturner that I'd 100% recommend to both men and women as long as you're buying it in store at the right price. No perfume is worth €500 in my opinion. Ps these are my opinions and experience but i used ai to improvise the language so it would be easier to read.

Candy Rush is Love, Don't Be Shy on steroids. Even after a shower, I could still smell it. The performance is incredible. If you're a fan of the Love, Don't Be Shy DNA, this one is beautiful and definitely worth experiencing. I don't really understand the comparisons to Scarlet Sands. Maybe they're fourth cousins once removed, but to my nose, the resemblance is minimal.

I never thought I wanted my perfume to smell of marshmallows, but apparently I do! Love this. Fluffy, light, cloudy marshmallows. Soft. Not juvenile, not too gourmand.

WAY better than LDBS, I'm OBSESSED; one spray lasted 9 hours on my wrist. I absolutely will be picking this up in Paris.

Agreeing with daehyma336 I’m no stranger to buying fragrances overseas and paying tariffs but this one was extra large, $170 due to it being aluminum vs a more expensive perfume I bought a month ago in a glass bottle that I paid $50 in duties for. That coupled with the $80 shipping and tax made this an over $500 fragrance and judging it from that perspective, no it’s not worth it but it is a really pretty fragrance. I just it got an hour ago so I’m going to wear it on skin running errands today as right now I’ve only just sprayed it on a test strip, so I want to give it a good wear test before I give it a proper full review but it’s definitely pretty and strong performing I believe from the test strip alone. On paper it definitely has similarities to LDBS and Oriana more to the LDBS side imo as Oriana gives more of a laundry detergent vibe to me (in a good way) but I don’t get that from Candy Rush, but yes like a better version of LDBS with tweaks like I do smell the iris. Seems like an easy reach, sweet, pretty girl, compliment getting type of scent with way better performance than the latter perfumes I mentioned but I will update my review after actually wearing it on skin. Update: Wore it to run errands and also to the gym and now wearing it again to bed. I did get a compliment while I was out. It’s easy to like and a familiar dna. I still feel like it’s like LDBS but after wearing it on skin I notice the differences. Candy Rush is less sickly syrupy sweet, still floral but is more marshmallow heavy and more musky, slightly soapy even. It’s really pretty. The ambroxan in the first spray was a little much for me honestly but it subsided really quickly and blended in well to where it didn’t bother me at all. As someone who hates ambroxan heavy scents I’m glad it didn’t overwhelm. Wearing it to bed atm I didn’t smell the ambroxan much at all after I sprayed it, I think maybe the fragrance settled a bit after traveling. Either way it doesn’t overwhelm the composition so that’s nice. This is a strong fragrance just like I thought it would be considering how much it filled my room just from the test strip. It’s much stronger than LDBD, Oriana or any I’ve tried in this category including Zucchero Neroli which has decent performance. As someone who’s never really jived fully with LDBS simply because I find that it’s too cloying and doesn’t perform well at all, this is perfect for me! However if you would have told me I’d be paying over $500 for this in the end I probably wouldn’t have bought it, it’s pretty but not unique enough to warrant the cost. Price aside, it’s a beautiful scent that revisits a familiar DNA and makes it better both in composition and performance and I’m happy to have it in my collection.
