A fluffy candy lovers dream

Opens up as a beautiful candied pear and sugared violet (Some say it pulls JPG La Belle but my skin doesn't pull that way) that evolves into this classic pink bubblegum smell that is dusted with marshmallow. Now despite reading like a 5 year old shopping list this fragrance isn't at all juvenile, in the opening down to the journey of the heart notes it is flirty and fun. In my mind I picture this as an every day scent for someone who likes sweets, an easy grab for that girl going on her first date, or a great accompaniment to all the theme park confectionary treats one will eat on a fun day at a theme park. My point is, it's versatile.

While this starts off as something flirty it definitely has a glow up into something sexy in the dry down. Sexy caramel, warm tonka, and a touch of that addictive rock sugar make it absolutely alluring. I don't know if it hwd anything to do with the new 'Signature Kayali accord' Mona added for the first time but if it does she's definitely picked a winning combination.

Now this scent gave me around 10 hours total on skin - 4 where the projection was moderate (about arms length, I got 3 compliments in that time) and the rest a skin scent. I had asked my husband after work (Around the 9 hour mark) if he could smell my perfume standing next to me and he said no, but he could smell it when he hugged me. On clothes you've got 12+ hours as I was catching whiffs of this as I was moving around for what felt like forever.

If you're looking for a beast mode fragrance look elsewhere, this is not the kind of scent to walk into the room before you do or announce itself to the world. This is going to be softer, not really any sillage, no crazy projection, just you and your sweet sweet personal scent bubble.

One of her bests!!

I can’t get enough of this scent, it is absolutely amazing. Starts off very bright and sugary. I get the ylang ylang and jellybean the most at first. The bubblegum is there but not too loud, it is more in the background. The powdery scent i get from this is from that bubblegum, reminds me a lot of Big League Chew bubblegum, especially the powder that is on it. My skin pulls the jasmine and violet a lot more about an hour later but that jellybean and bubblegum powder is still there. The vanilla cream, marshmallow and sandalwood stay more in the background for me around this time but it is there. A few hours after, the jasmine and violet are no longer there, now i get what i would call a mix of vanilla 28 and silk santal with a creamy marshmallow base and powdery jellybeans. That is what i get on skin. On clothes i get that jellybean, bubblegum, pear, vanilla cream, marshmallow and a little bit of rum. Super sweet and yummy. Love it on skin but definitely love it more on clothes!

The middle child between Vanilla | 28 and The Wedding Silk Santal | 36

I was one of the lucky ones who received a sample of this fragrance with a purchase from Sephora Canada when it was available. I waited until it was announced and entered in the Parfumo database before trying it.

Touted as the little sister to Vanilla | 28, she's more like the middle child between the aforementioned fragrance and The Wedding Silk Santal | 36 (without the praline note). Those who missed the latter will probably find solace in this one (although rumors of Silk Santal coming back have been circulating). The beginning is sweet and delightfully creamy, at times a bit overwhelming. It is light and airy, but at the same time quite sugary sweet. It reminded me a bit of an undescript B&B sweet fragrance. The middle notes gives off a sweetness that reminded me of crystaliized honey which is probably coming from the white caramel. Underneath the mound of sugary sweetness lies ylang ylang which has a slightly fruity and tropical facet while jasmine has a fruity and powdery aspect. If the top and middle notes remind me of Silk Santal | 36, the drydown does gives deeper and more complex notes reminiscent of Vanilla | 28. Cashmere wood adds this comforting velvety feeling while patchouli is dark and earthy, tempering down the sweetness that was quite apparent at the beginning. Vetiver adds warmth while tonka beans and sandalwood further reinforces this impression. There's no woody notes coming in from the sandalwood. Rock sugar adds a gourmand finishing touch.

There's quite a stark difference bewteen 2/3rd of the perfume and its drydown. The first part is young, sweet and delightful like candy while the drydown is deeper with complexity and a more mature take on sweetness. When the most volatile notes have left my skin, cashmere wood and tonka bean remain the strongest giving a velvety and powdery sugared skin scent.

The drydown is probably the reason why I gave this fragrance a score of 8/10. I still don't know if I'll get a full bottle or not (I do admit the bottle is gorgeous with its pink iridiscent finish). The top and middle notes remind me way too much of Silk Santal and I don't feel like Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar | 42 (VCRS) really stands out as a different or unique offering from Kayali. Like I've mentioned before, VCRS stands in the middle bewteen Vanilla | 28 and Silk Santal | 36. I will say that it's lighter than Vanilla | 28, offering a good alternative for warmer temperatures if you wish to smell sweet. It's also a bit less perfumey and powdery than Silk Santal | 36. If you own one or both of these fragrances, I'm not sure you really need this one (apart from supporting Kayali or owning the beautiful bottle).
