A little known bargain Gourmand :)
I first bought this a couple of winters ago , after reading many good reviews online. Glad i did !! This is now one of my winter staple gourmands ( along with Violette Angel by Mugler - also discontinued as is HC - boo ). I believe it to be discontinued , but its still quite easy and cheap to buy ( Im stocking up for when its no longer avail - £10 for 100ml in UK! )
This scent is for the fun , happy party moods..Plenty of other scents for "serious" or "formal " occasions , this is NOT one of them ..PURE SUGARY SWEET FUN !!! It is the perfect antidote to the long , cold , wet miserable winters we have in my part of the world ( Northen England - "Up In't 'ills )
So , to the scent - It starts with an unusual blast of Rhubarb , pink pepper and white tea - Not your usual sweet perfume. Quite different to many I have tried. The heart is pure caramel candy sweetness , with a little bit of rose and jasmine to stop it been too cloying.
For a "cheap" £10 perfume the lasting power and sillage are of the scale ! DO NOT OVERSPRAY as this is some STRONG stuff. It lasts a good 8hr on my perfume eatng skin , and as for on clothes , well , i can still smell it on my fake furry white coat from last winter.
The cooler weather seems to be making a return here now ( bye bye summer) , thats a shame , but I am looking forward to the first proper chilly day when i will be breaking out the Hard Candy .
What a bargain - this is quality for the price. It trounces pradas " candy " IMO ( that one is just overpriced sugared water to me )
