No candy, just coconut and frangipani!

This is not a bad scent, but still disappointing for a gourmand lover like me. I mean, look at the name, the bottle and the notes! I expected something heavenly sweet and intense, and maybe still a bit more sophisticated than some cotton candy drugstore spray.

And I got... A harmless tropical floral with coconut milk and vanilla. It's not really a pink scent and doesn't smell like candy. It is sweet, but rather subtle for a Montale, and overall a bit undefined.

The opening is slightly burned caramel popcorn, but I mostly get that on the blotter. On my skin it's gone super quick. Then the scent turns into a mix of frangipani, creamy coconut, bright vanilla and a touch of fresh citrus. I get no honey at all. It's a nice holiday scent. A beachy floral with a touch of fresh fruitiness and gourmand sweetness. It's not even super boring, just not that impressive.
I'd surely wear this if it was the last perfume on earth, but I see no need to buy this when there are so many greater tropical scents on the market.

Tropical frangipani and coconut

The fragrance is okay, but we've gotta talk about the chosen name and the color of the bottle. This would've probably been a better hit if it had been named "Tropical something" instead of Lucky Candy. I was expecting something sweet, gourmand, sugary and delicious like candy, instead I got a generic summer frangipani and coconut fragrance. It's not bad per se, but it smells like something I've already smelled in a designer fragrance somewhere. I only get frangipani and coconut. I've gotta give it to 'em, at least they used a different flower than the usual ylang-ylang-coconut pairing. It smells floral, tropical, slightly sweet, creamy and powdery. Where's the caramel, where's the honey? Nowhere to be smelled (at least to my nose). The fragrance should've been associated with a bottle sporting a soft yellow color instead of this bubblegum pink. It would've represented the fragrance better. Anyways, it dries down into a sweet vanilla fragrance with a hint of warmth and coconut ghost.

It's a nice fragrance, but nothing very unique. If you're looking for a coconut perfume that uses a different flower for a tropical vibe, this could be a nice one. I'm not so much a fan of coconut which is why it won't be making it into my collection. On to the next!

Not offensive, not inspired

Lucky Candy opens with a full-on throwback to the early 2000s. Think Britney Spears Curious on sugar steroids. It’s sweet, musky, and nuclear in that unmistakable mall-perfume-meets-body-spray kind of way. If you grew up around Bath & Body Works or celebrity scents, this will smell eerily familiar… maybe too familiar.

The pyramid promises “coconut cream,” but if it’s in there, it’s buried under a pile of synthetic musk, florals, and generic sugary fluff. There's no real coconut here, just the ghost of a plastic tropical lotion memory that never quite materializes. What you get instead is a cloying sweetness that doesn’t evolve much, hovering somewhere between nostalgic and juvenile.

It’s not offensive, but also not inspired.

Would like to be something he is not..

Despite the mixed reviews, I grabbed it when I discovered a remaining bottle filled with 25ml.

What does the new Montale smell like?

After spraying it on, there is a distinct popcorn note, which is quite nice, but not really exciting - neither super caramelly, nor particularly burnt or sweet.

Then it quickly becomes quite creamy and fangipani-heavy. The cream is slightly refined with unsweet honey, coconut is not really perceptible to me.

It actually stays that way. After a few minutes, an indefinable, gently pungent note emerges, which was described in the comments as being similar to "maggi herb", among other things.

The fragrance can still be detected the following day, but H/S are poor by Montale standards. The "cloud" loses intensity after several minutes and becomes close to the body.

En resumant: Not for me!

"Lucky Candy" wants to give (my interpretation!) a creamy Hawaiian South Seas spa vibe, which just doesn't work. I find the pungent fangipani honey cream rather unpleasant and the popcorn opening doesn't fit the fragrance pyramid. H/S are bad.

If you are absolute fangipani or cream fans, then go for it ;) I will definitely continue to smell it!

Name misleading but still beautiful

I bought the fragrance blind because of the fragrance pyramid. Based on the name I expected a cardboard sweet Montale (I love sweet and heavy fragrances). Admittedly the name is a bit misleading. The fragrance has for me a slight round sweetness. Would even say a sensual sweetness. Something mainstream Haft, but that does not have to be bad, on the contrary, here I find everything round. It is not at all intrusive and yet present. Just right (for those who like it a bit casual). Can also wear prima in everyday life or office. For me, he smells not at all like toilet spray (so different tastes can be... Laugh). I smell a light rose out although none is in it, a beautiful rose. Light, not too sweet and yet somehow sensual. That will probably be the frangipani. I like it very much! After half an hour, it becomes a little creamier. And right from there I find the fragrance really nice. I'm glad to have this in my collection

I would pack this fragrance under feel-good fragrance. Sensual, slightly sweet. Feminine.

I spray me fragrances also always additionally in the hair, that is with under one of the best scent carriers.

Man must always smell it :-)

Best test yourself

H / S I would describe as good, no Beastmode but for everyday life, feel-good evening or for work just right.
