Candide

Well this is an interesting fragrance, smells just like the washing powder I use. Must be the lavender and apple. There is something in the opening notes that makes me very nauseous, but it soon disappears. I think it's the lavender, I am not a big fan of lavender. Very cedar woody with fresh notes of apple. It is a fresh, clean, fragrance and I actually like it the more I smell it. The green apple is sharp and tangy like a Granny Smith, it would suit those that like apple fragrances. The bottle is beautiful and purple, so I was surprised that the perfume had such a green sharp fragrance. Would have liked the iris to have taken centre stage, most of the other notes are rather overwhelmed by the cedar, lavender and apple, to the point I can't detect them. I think this perfume is quite masculine and would be better suited on my husband. Worth a try if you can get it for a good price and are partial to woody fragrances.

Love this fragrance. I found it in the beautiful island of Tahiti, while cruising on the Paul Gaugin ship. Cannot find it in the U.S.
