By the editors · 2 min readCandy Night opens with an unusual pairing for a gourmand fragrance: neroli's bittersweet orange blossom and iris together, slightly cool and powdery, an intro that feels more composed than a typical sweet fragrance. The bitterness sets an expectation that the heart partly confirms and partly subverts.
Tonka bean and vanilla arrive in the heart, immediately sweeter and warmer — but the patchouli and chocolate base pull them in a darker direction than the original Candy. The chocolate reads dry and slightly bitter rather than milky, the patchouli giving the sweetness an earthy counterweight. A gourmand that earns the 'night' distinction — genuinely more complex and adult than its predecessor, the bitterness keeping it from tipping into pure confection.
