It’s so yummie, fluffy and sweet.

This could be a lifer if just the projection and longevity was better.
It’s so yummie, fluffy and sweet.
Get mostly marshmallow, berry/fruity and vanilla with just a hint of florals.
It's girly but sexy at the same time, i love it.
Layers really well with Juliette has a gun Miss Charming, those two together makes Sweet like Candy more mature with a lovely rose.

Lovely layering scent

I absolutely love this scent. Sure, it's a bit girlish - but it's delicate and sweet and honestly makes me feel like a princess. It can always be dressed up and provides a beautiful marshmallow-y base to build on. And the price is absolutely fantastic! It's definitely something I will be repurchasing.

Gourmand Sweet Fruity Candy Classic Year Round

I adore the candy-like notes of this fragrance which I think comes from blackberry, pear, blackcurrant liquor, and italian bergamot + marshmallow. The classic Ariana Grande perfume shape this perfume is in is super super cute for this scent specifically. I adore layering this scent with many body sprays, but this stands alone. I love it year-round. Its cozy, and sooo good. Reminds me of the One Direction scents from around the same time this came out. You can find this for pretty cheap at TJmax or Ross, so definitely check for it there. The body spray also holds up really well.

Sweet and Bright

This has been a go-to for me since it came out. I adore the bottle, and it got me into collecting fragrances. I love sweet scents and this one really hits that. To me, it is very bright and light. No heaviness here. The longevity on me is decent, about 5-6 hours. I'd say the sillage is close to the skin-arms length, depending. It's a great buy for the price in my opinion.

sweet like citrus

The first perfume I ever bought! I got it years ago to impress a boy and what can I say, we're engaged now. Probably because of this scent.

Jokes aside, this is lovely. It's a very clean, light and fruity scent which lasts for hours. Only thing I'd have to critique is that on me, it's mostly citrusy in the beginning and I'm not the biggest fan of citrus notes. I would even go as far as to say the name is misleading, it's not sweet like candy. "Sweet" isn't even the first descriptor that comes to my mind, it's "fresh".

I don't know what it is, but most of the time I can't go d'accord with the description of a scent in the reviews on this site. Might be a skin issue on my part so it might smell like candy on someone else.

The bottle is very pretty, I adore the little pompom.
