Candy Yum-Yum

I bought this as a blind buy. I read many mixed reviews but I guess in my head I was thinking it would be a cotton candy type of scent like the yum yum bears when I was a child. Unfortunately, and I have seen others mention this note although it’s not listed, it seems to have patchouli in it at least to me. It reminds me of La Vie Est Belle and Flower Bomb both of which give me an almost instantaneous headache. Initially when I smelled it before spraying it all over myself, it smelled amazing and so fun and girly. As it dried the patchouli or whatever that note is came out and I can’t wait to wash it on. It’s sad because I had high hopes for it and it has such adorable packaging but this one is for sure getting returned. I will be sticking to my more simple floral perfumes from now on. EDIT: I gave this another try two years later after a popular YouTuber mentioned how great it was. I’m so glad I gave it another chance. I love it now! I spray it in the air and walk through it and I don’t spray it on my skin. It smells like a fruity and comforting scent to me. I think you can wear it all year and each season will bring out the notes differently which I love.

Fun, sweet and fruity. I wore this the other day, (it was warm), and noticed how this became more deep and spicy on my skin, which i didnt detect earlier while using this at home in the evening. Its tropical scent, made for spring and summer. Suitable for casual wear, not serious at all. Very uplifting. While wearing this I felt like those very feminine women who takes good care of their appereance, nails and makeup on fleek, kinda way. :D which im not personally but that kinda image i got from this. It's not juvenile kinda sweet, i imagine woman at the age 20-30ish wearing this. (I dont believe age in the fragrances tho).Im gald i got it, although i was little fence about it at first, but decided to pull the trigger and order it blindly, mostly because its discontinued, plus it was on good price and i needed a good summer fruity scent. Its better made compared to the escada fragrances, in my opinion. Gonna get good use for this while spending time at home and casually going out at the summertime.

I finally got my hands on one of these. Candy Yum Yum is my all time favorite lipstick. It was the only one I kept among the many Mac pink lipstick I've encountered. Having it as a perfume was a perk and so when I got the chance, I snagged one. I admit I expect alot of cotton candy, from hearing and reading and watching the first reviews that came out. Alot said it was sweet which was my first expectation, and it is but the most prominent allure is that is smells more tropically and very fruity. The first note I detected is the strong guava mixed in with sharp crispness of the cherry blossom while the iris gives it's depth and richness. The cotton candy is there but mixed in and afterward the main notes transition to a soft warm skin musk. This is like Pink Barbie scent. Loud, electric but girly. I wish it did last longer because it's a unique scent that really represents the pink iconic lipstick.

I put one spray of this on my wrist at Macys shopping with my daughter. The whole drive home I kept having my daughter smell my wrist bc it was wafting in the air and I’m thinking “this is surprisingly pretty, I think I need it.” I don’t even usually go for sweet perfumes. That is totally not my vibe. 45 min later we go into a sandwich shop and immediately when I walked up to the counter the nice young man at the register says, “Wow your perfume smells really good.” He was at least 10-12 feet away from me. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a compliment from a stranger like that from a distance like that and with one spray. The jury is still out on longevity, but It’s going on the to-buy list. This is incredibly sexy, sweet, feminine, and head turning. Idc if it doesn’t last that long. It’s an addictive, affordable scent. MAC can have my money.

I’ve been wearing this for years! It smells delicious. So edible & super sexy. It’s delicious.... What more can I say? It’s sweet and yummy. Lasts for hours on my skin. Days....weeks on my clothes. I have no idea why they are discontinuing this fragrance? I just purchased two from Macys. I see belks has them for $48. I heard department stores are selling the last of what they have left. MAC IF YOU SEE THIS PLEASE KEEP THIS FRAGRANCE! Also make a body oil, bath soap & lotion to go with it. This fragrance is everything. Especially for my girlies who love cotton candy!!!! This fragrance is confident, flirtatious, sexy and youthful. It’s GORGEOUS 💘 Candy 🍭 yum yum...💘💕💘 forever! I’m making my 100ml stretch!

I adore this fragrance, it's become my spring/summer go-to! Although the name deceivingly suggests that the fragrance may be candy-like, it is one of the most beautiful floral scents I have ever smelled. It reminds me of if Lancome's "La Vie Est Belle" and Viktor&Rolf's "FlowerBomb" had a child, except with a youthful twist. I have to say, although this fragrance dries down kinda fast (I get 3-4 hours of wear), my favorite part is when I get to the cotton candy and vanilla base. It is not overly cloying like Aquolina's "Pink Sugar" can be, but the most delicate, cozy sweetness I have ever experienced in the base notes of a perfume. If you like sweet florals, definitely try to get your hands on this!

I was so pleasantly surprised by this MAC perfume, I bought a bottle soon after and it has been one of my favorites ever since. I mean wow! It’s juicy, bold, feminine and just so sexy which is exactly how I’d describe my taste in perfumes. The combination of sweet and fresh notes are intoxicating. It makes me so happy! I’m someone who will NOT buy a perfume if it doesn’t last. This fragrance passed my longevity test by a hair and since I got lots of compliments wearing it I think it was worth it, especially considering how affordable it is. I would and will buy again in a heartbeat. Thank you MAC!

Yum! So delicious! Literally smells like candy on me. I get the guava, cotton candy and also a little spiciness to it almost like pink pepper? It’s really lovely! Especially for spring and summer. It’s sweet without being too cloying. I enjoy these shade scents from MAC and I’m sad they’re discontinued/ hard to find. This reminds me of the early 2000’s type fragrances that were sugary sweet, young, hot fragrances but this one has a little spicy edge to it. Longevity and silage are definitely there. This is a great fragrance when you want something sweet, summery and fruity with an edge.

My favorite perfume of all time. This used to be my signature scent, but I cannot find it anywhere anymore. I got the most compliments on this perfume than any other perfume I’ve ever owned. Very sweet, candy smell. And it lasts a very long time, I’d put this on one time and it’d last throughout the whole day. It was a little pricey in my opinion (this is coming from someone that primarily wore BBW products), but it was so worth it. I could make the bottle stretch for a year.

This one makes me mad. I freaking love the smell...warm, delicious, and girly. But it WILL. NOT. STAY. PUT. I tested (a good amount of it) on a strip of fabric and it surprised me...still quite strong the next day. But I know from experience that it dissipates an hour later on the skin. So this one might just have to do as a clothes scent. I just reeeeally wanted it to stay on my skin and in my hair. Sigh...

I’ve used around 3 bottles of this stuff, I absolutely love it! It’s so sweet and cute and I find it stays on my skin all day! I receive a lot of compliments when wearing this! Takes me back to my high school days; I practically begged my mum and insisted I needed this as a teenager because everybody who was somebody had it🤣 no regrets! Good buy!

The opening guava note is juicy and nice! I swear there’s a hint of raspberry in this as well. I wish there was more prominence in the cotton candy note which doesn’t last long at all on my skin. It’s sweet, pink, and captivating, but not juvenile. My boyfriend loves it on me and I definitely think it’s a crowd pleaser. Longevity is 2hrs max.

MAC fragrances are so underrated! For the price you can’t beat this. It’s sweet, it’s cute, it’s fun and it smells amazing! Candy sweet indeed. Reminds me of something Barbie would wear. It also reminds me of fragrances from the early 2000’s. This is girlie, flirty, and sweet. Great for all seasons and occasions! Love this one! 💕

a tart salty guava that registers like rhubarb with some patchouli or caramel praline and salt and the cherry blossom very present; in the base it is vanillic; the fragrance is ripe, tart and luscious from someone who is not a fruity fragrance fan but I loved the top much more than the drydown

Just received this in the mail and wow!! It is super fresh and juicy it’s almost mouthwatering 😩. The guava comes through sooo nicely and gives off this vibe of pink sunshine and rainbows. Tried layering it with Kayali ‘42 and it’s amazing! Totally will reach for this everyday.

Guava candy! This enchanting scent is so delectable, it’s impossible to resist. Imagine the delightful aroma of ripe guava blended with a hint of tropical fruitiness, creating a symphony of juicy, sugary notes. It's an exquisite fragrance—super sweet and irresistible.

Candy Yum Yum is sweet fruity candy, classy and well done, even better as it ages. Raspberry, cherry, vanilla, and maybe a touch of ambroxan. Very fun and feminine fragrance. I like Candy Yum Yum from Valentine's season in early February through early autumn.

In the Barbie world! We need fragrances like that. We need that cheerful,sweet perfumes that makes us happy and "cute". Of course this scent isn't anything special but somehow it still gives that "happy vibe" and feeling.

Candy Yum Yum opens with a lot of ISO E Super. The drydown features mostly raspberry, tropical fruit, with a teaser of bubblegum. Yummy candy indeed. Upbeat, youthful, fun scent!

MAC formally discontinued this not that long ago, so dept stores are selling what they have now before it’s fully gone. 😓
