Ava's Young Sister

The name suggests that this is a hybrid of similar-sounding fragrance of a pop singer, whose name may no longer be mentioned, which hums a melody when pressing the spray head (the flacon not the singer) and my ever-popular Prada fragrance.
But far from it, because Candy Love smells, as the company website reveals, like love apples, fairgrounds, and natural ingredients of apple, green mandarin, and hundred-petaled rosea. Hear hear. The vanilla cream is unfortunately not of natural origin but who cares. With the kitschy heart flacon you actually expect plastic, rather than organic quality, although there are also plastic in organic quality, but good.

The apple smells the way Snow White would have liked him, juicy sweet, subtly sugary and completely pleasing, lovely and not a bit dangerous. An apple scent for Eva's younger sister. An apple scent that doesn't stand out in a negative way, with my friend commenting on it with, "What smells so sweet?". I just ignore it, because I like him, so both, the fragrance and of course my friend.

I wore Candy Love to work last week, as it blended wonderfully with the wintry, part-snowy, part-rainy scenery. He does not wear on, blends in light-footed, fragrant skillfully. However, if you are expecting a densely packed sillage monster, you are wrong here. The bottle suits Escada and promises a fragrance that fits in with the series of previous creations. But Candy Love is so much more delicate and innocent, it doesn't party in Rio but rolls through the home happily and unagitatedly, even a little unobtrusively. It's a scent that would have fit either Essence or Juniper Lane. Whether you can smell out the partly natural ingredients now? I would say no. I also barely smell rose, vanilla cream minimally. It remains an almost solinotealer, finely sweet apple scent, no more, no less.

Last week, by the way, I layered it with Le Male Le Parfum, which made for an interesting combination. I'll tell you about the story in a next blog about winter layering experiments

Thanks for reading and I wish you all a relaxing Sunday
