I Want Candy

I really only smell the apple and rose notes. The apple note is crisp and fresh, the rose is a synthetic rosewater note such as found in old fashioned glycerine and rosewater lotion, and the two notes kind of clash with each other. When I first spray it, it smells like apples and Windex to me. Yes, strange, I know...but it does. I think this is the rose note doing something strange at first. The rose mellows out and starts to smell like rose as it dries down. It smells like something you'd expect to find in a product like hand soap or shampoo. But all these things said, I do like it and I find myself drawn to sniffing my wrist frequently. Longevity isn't so good, it lasts a few hours before fading into a skin scent. Sillage is modest, arm's length with a few sprays. The bottle is awfully cute, and a nice size to carry in my bag. I didn't spend much on it at a discount store, and while I like it, I doubt I'll repurchase when it's gone.

A blast of peach, apple, and violet in the opening. It's a really sparkling beginning, that, alas, dries down to the (not unpleasant) scent of peach candy. Think...peach gummy rings from the bulk bins. I like them, but don't really want to wear them. This might be a nice starter perfume for someone very young.

While wandering in a shop with my daughter last night, I came upon a tester of this stuff...I sprayed it on a card first and it smelled rather fresh and uncomplicated: I could detect the fruit and the violets. Rashly, I gave my wrists a big spritz and began to endure an apple assault of epic proportions. As coco76 aptly said, it is screamingly loud, and in fact kept magnifying as if I were caught in some ghastly echo chamber. My stepson said, "It smells like shampoo." It kept radiating it's deadly sweet synthetic fumes on our walk to the car, on the ride home, and back at the house. I scrubbed my wrists, to no avail. Finally, in desperation, I ran a bath and submerged myself for relief. This fume gives a whole new meaning to FBW: FULL BATH WORTHY!

A sad blind buy for me. I mostly get thefloral, strong violet. Maybe a touch of apple. Oddly I agree with that comment below about getting the hair perm. This just isn't as great as people are making it sound so don't feel like you're missing out.

It evokes a feeling of sitting in a hard chair in hair salon getting a permanent as your scalp starts to burn

It smells like daddy issues and bad decisions... In the best possible way! I just can't wrap my mind around the fact that some people expected it to smell mature and sophisticated. Do you just look at the packaging/name and go, "This is something a classy, elegant lady would wear!" It's a playful, fun, mischievous, flirtatious scent. It smells like sweet, fruity hard candy with a hint of cellophane candy wrappers. True to the brand's aesthetic this was inspired by pop culture (and a famous "I want candy" song from the 60s): ♫ "...just what the doctor ordered... So sweet, you make my mouth water. I want candy. Candy on the beach, there's nothing better... But I like candy when it's wrapped in a sweater" ♫ Don't forget to have fun!

Light, young violet! With just enough fruit to keep it fresh and shampoo-like (in a good way), as violet can get heavy. This could have been good for me. Unfortunately, I used to have a violet-scented flea/tick spray for my dog that I loved on him... and this smells exactly like it. Seriously, it could not be more of a dupe! Too bad this scent is now associated with dog fur and dog saliva to me. It really is nice smelling but I cannot disassociate the two.

I got this at a thrift store and was super excited to score a nearly full most likely tester bottle for $10. It is a linear scent but kind of unexpected take on fruity floral. The apple peach is punchy at first- probably moreso on this because of the age of it- but the dry down is soft and it’s like peachy violet. Totally intended this to be a collector item but I’m enjoying wearing it and it feels and smells fine on my skin!

I tried this perfume on a few days ago. I must say that it smells abit like soap in the begining. But then later the soapy smell transforms into something heavenly that smells abit like honey,violet and sugar. It would have been a perfect scent for me if the apple note only would have been abit more subtle. But it's still a very claming and beautiful scent.

I really wish i enjoyed this perfume more...the notes seem to be perfect for me. unfortunately, the apple is screamingly loud...very fake green apple. it kind of reminds me of what salon selectives used to smell like back in the day. oh well, i ordered samples of some of their other scents today, lets see how they fair!

Like sfsassy, I found this fragrance to be very fruity. On me it was all apple, and reminded me a little bit of how Herbal Essence shampoos used to smell. It is a very light fragrance and great for summer, you will however need to re-apply quite a bit. Overall, young and fun but not something I plan to buy.

I really liked this perfume. First off, the bottles are adorable. They are not too expensive and they provide a nice little pick me up! I like light fruity scents. On my, it was all fruit and no floral. The lasting power is low and you need to re-apply.

very peachy & fruity- nice, but not anything amazing. i have sniffed the entire line & my faves (for gourmand but not TOO foody) are: honey & the moon, kabuki & bittersweet. always wished the lasting power was longer.

Disappointed with this one. Smells like really strong soap and for me it's not getting past this soap smelling stage. I might have to wash this off.

I tried it and couldn't smell anything. The notes sound nice though, so I won't dismiss it just yet - I'll test it again just in case.
