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

I can’t believe the reviews are so bad for this one! I really think people are rating off the name. No it does not smell like candy ie Kayali Vanilly Candy. It’s also not “creamy” or lactonic at all. It’s literally a bright, sweet more tropical vs traditional floral. I wore it a lot last summer layered with Ylang in Gold and that combo lasted strongly all day and got compliments every single time. I don’t agree with the smells like either, it’s pretty unique and also non offensive.

This scent is amazing. I think the bad reviews are due to the name, as it quite fresh. At the opening its very floral, but once it dry, it become more fruity tropical, dewy and a little bit sweet. I don't like the first 5 minutes, but after I cant stop smelling myself. Be carefull its a beast, projection is insane. One push in the air and I smell it in the other room. Its long lasting as well. It dosnt smells like ed hardy perfumes BUT its gives same vibes.

I have to agree with the below review - this is a gem, and I am grateful it's not the "it" perfume. It's a sweet yellow floral, with an initial citrus that slowly melds into a fluffy tropical marshmallow, but never forgets the frangipani. It's really beautiful. You could definitely pop that warm, creaminess by layering with a coconut, or even vanilla, lotion / body oil. Lucky Candy will be my primary summer scent, this year. It's a beaut.

I had such high hopes for this: whipped cream, coconut caramel, honey, vanilla, its sounds like a dream! I’m so sorry to be a party pooper but this smells nothing like the notes. No sweetness, no gourmandness, just citrus. And an artificial citrus bathroom cleaner type of smell. 🍋🧼 The bottle is gorgeous but it should have been marketed as just citrus because there is zero coconut or caramel or whipped cream or vanilla or honey

A nice discovery. This perfume gives positivity and joy, I was surprised how each note intersects with the other, floral and "sugary" scents that transport you far away.... In a colorful and bright world. Very beautiful 💛🍭🍦😍 Sillage : 7.5/10 Longevity : 8/10 Scent : 8.5/10 Overall : 8.5/10

One of my favourites for spring and summer. It’s sweet, tropical, flowery, with a hint of coconut, but still quite subtle. My boyfriend’s favourite as well 💛☀️ A bit weird smelling opening, and does not last long enough.

"Wearing Lucky candy is like drawing a tarot card that continually unveils a delicious surprise." This is true, she is everything I never knew I needed. update: so, obsessed I got a backup bottle one month later.

I recently bought it. It grew on me. It’s a beautiful tropical gourmand scent. I’m not a fan of honey note. And I cant detect honey in here. I’m smelling cacao and it’s beautiful.

I really like this fragrance tbh I didn't expect to like it as much as I do. But as I grow my collection im becoming to love floral and sweet fragrances more and more.

The honey in this is soooo nice and it almost smells a bit like mango once it dries down. A sweet and light, kinda fruity floral

I have many, but this is actually my most complimented perfume 🩷

Omg i want it!!! Can’t wait to enjoy this beauty!

My very first impression of the fragance was "tropical yellow floral". This is how the perfume begins - it ́s quite citrusy at first, then the coconut and the ylang-ylang notes start to appear. The coconut, to my nose, is very strong in this, so for those who dislike it, I do not recommend to get this. After a while, the coconut gets even stronger but I can still get the "yellow floral background" quite clearly, if you can imagine how a typical yellow floral smells. Something like in Poeme by Lancome maybe? It ́s very nice. Later on, I finally get the candy-like, marshmallowy note. To me, the overall vibe of the sweet note is not like a typical candy note, but more of a "summer funfair" note, if you know what I mean? Something like the scent you get in the summer evenings while being there, at the event. Meanwhile, the coconut and yellow florals are still there, omnipresent. So, I do get why it ́s called Lucky Candy and at the same time, I don ́t (because it ́s still quite floral). :) It ́s definitely candy-like, you just need to wait for the drydown. To conclude, I think it ́s a great summer perfume. Eerything about this screams summer, summer events, heat, hot air, good vibes, beach, etc.. More of a daytime thing. The bottle is very nice. So far it ́s not a love from me, though, only a "like", mainly because of the longevity and sillage that are not exactly like what I am used to when it comes to Montale. However, I think it ́s still quite good for spring, summer and warm weather in general. I will test it a bit longer and we will see if it changes. :) I mean, you can clearly smell it, it ́s just not too loud.

Ok let me start by saying I was a huge hater of Montale bottles, but this one, I dont know what happened with me, the bottle is so pretty, that matte pink with gold hardware is gorgeous. Now about the scent, from the first spray, I immediately thought of Mercurial Cashmere but imagine it being layered or diluted with Dior Blooming Bouquet, thats exactly how I think of this fragrance. Overall very designer like profile, beautiful florals with some greenery and some spice from amber, the marshmallow note is definitely there too. When I look at the notes and smell the fragrance, I can definitely point them out which makes the fragrance slightly messy to me just like mercurial cashmere I recently sold, this one however smells fresher, lighter, airier, frangipani gives it this feminine appeal. Im surprised Neroli is so low voted, because its definitely very prominent along with frangipani and sweetness I want to say from marshmallow note or toffee? UPDATE: I really cant stop wearing this, on the skin, in the air, its so addictive and beautiful and the performance is amazing! It lasts and lingers for hours and hours. This might be my first Montale bottle I absolutely love. Shes staying with me and going no where. 😍 Im going to leave my original review just so people see first impression with this one just not enough. The balance between the tropical notes and florals and spice is perfection I didnt know I needed.

I’m surprised by all the negative reviews for this! Maybe it’s a scent profile you either love or hate. Perhaps people see the marshmallow note and make all kinds of assumptions. I personally really enjoy Lucky Candy. It’s fresh, sweet and tropical all at once. A youthful, fun and playful scent that doesn’t feel juvenile. To me, it’s honey drenched frangipani and fresh, clean, cocoa butter skin. The marshmallow, cacao and coconut are sweetly powdery. At the same time neroli and lily of the valley lend a clean, but not soapy, white floral nuance. This is less synthetic and better blended than most Montales. I can pick out the individual notes when I look for them, but nothing feels out of balance. My only issue is how ‘front loaded’ this is: gorgeous, beast mode opening — soft, subtle and slightly generic dry down (at around 2 hours). I agree with other reviews that the name is somewhat misleading- I wouldn’t describe this as candy like scent.
