Yara Candy
Overwhelming at first; I honestly thought I was going to end up with a headache. It’s very sweet, very artificial strawberry. Do I get strawberry laces? Yes. Not so much the fizzy kind though. The gardenia is there throughout in the background. After about 30 mins it settles down into a more creamy vanilla-strawberry. I like it better at this point. It turns musky and a touch powdery as it starts to fade out.
Projection is strong to start with, then moderate once the mid notes take over. Longevity is good. When all is said and done I’m reminded slightly of Kayali Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar, but it’s by no means a dupe. The opening on the Kayali is 100% more tolerable.
I’ll happily revisit this one; it’s worth a try if you like sweet fruity scents and can tolerate the brief chemical warfare of the opening. I’m on the fence when it comes to “maceration”, but it’ll be interesting to see whether that improves at all over time.
