Lucky Candy

I’ve had my bottle for a couple of weeks now. I purchased this after reading several reviews. So, I went into it knowing it was going to lean floral & less Gourmand. I am so happy with this. It opens with a slight resemblance to delina & then turns slightly powdery on my skin. I think it’s the marshmallow note mixed with the florals. As it dries down it starts to sweeten more & gets less powdery. The frangipani, marshmallow & musk shine on my skin. The musk is a beautiful soft musk. Not too strong. I get beautiful whiffs throughout the day & she lasts eternally on my clothes. Someone else mentioned it being compared to an elegant frangipani, coconut, lemonade. I don’t pick up on the coconut as much but, I do get frangipani, marshmallow lemonade. Side note: I did need to let my bottle rest several days before I felt like the longevity was there. Give this one a few tries. She grew on me & now I crave & love her. ETA: this perfume has gotten so much stronger with time! I sprayed 2 sprays & nearly 5 hours later I was getting compliments. I could still smell my own scent bubble. I am very happy about this as I don’t need to use much at all. (I’ve had my bottle for about 3 months now).

I almost don’t want to leave a good review so I can keep this one to myself. Lucky Candy is a beautiful yellow floral with a light fluffiness from the marshmallow and a hint of coconut. It’s very unique and doesn’t really smell like anything else I have, maybe an airier, more floral Kilian Princess. I made the mistake of thinking LC was light and didn’t project when I first wore it. I was wrong. Every single time I wear this someone compliments me. She’s light and sweet but she’s also very present and projects. I like to layer with Ylang in Gold. LC is pretty, girly, summery and just really beautiful. I would at least sample and not on a test strip. Spray your clean skin and let the magic happen!

White flowers, yellow flowers, and a touch of coconut over marshmallow, with a light amber developing way into the dry down. But honestly there’s no way to describe this. It’s sweet but not sticky. I absolutely love it! I also love chocolate greedy and intense cafe, but don’t like dark purple. That’s the extent of my experience with this house and I can say the Montale dna is definitely here in presentation. I can’t get enough. It projects, lasts, and I enjoy getting frequent whiffs throughout it’s lengthy wear. At the same time, it’s not cloying or offensive to others in the vicinity.

It should have been a summer launch and not for this cooler time of the year or season. It’s a very airy blend with yellow floral hints, a soft coconut note with whipped cream, bergamot and musk. I don’t specifically detect the honey note. The caramel is slightly there. Sadly it’s lighter than I expected. I need to reapply after 3-4 hours. Sillage is sufficient but not really outstanding. The pyramid is quite deceptive in my opinion. Try before buying. It’s feminine leaning. Very simple daytime fragrance.

I had very high hopes for this perfume, the dry down is so disappointing :( Edit: Wow, I decided to buy the 20 ml to give it one more chance and i'm so glad i did. The comment below is so accurate, a frangipani coconut lemonade. It's very nice. On the inital blast i get the cacao and honey and that fades to a frangipani/coconut/tropical scent that smells good, so glad I gave it a second chance although i suggest sampling and trying before buying a full bottle since it may be tricky on the first sniff
