I can't smell Candy(ch)

At the start of school, whether you want to or not, you often have to go to Müller.
Armed with the shopping list, I head straight through the perfume department.
Aha, note to self, Chanel stage gone!!
But for God's sake, what is this?? Me, with my 160 centimeters and 45 kilos
feeling completely overwhelmed by this huge, hysterically cheerful perfume bottle!
Ahhhh, PRADA, Candy presentation then, mmh.
Well, at the start of school, you have to shout to get attention.
I walk briskly towards the escalator, down to the office supplies.
The whole thing, because something is always missing, roughly 10 times in the first
week of September.
And every time, this Caaaandy fairground cheerfulness blares at me.
The bottle looks like the support pillar of a ride in the sausage
Prater.
It smells throughout Müller like a fair and like at Manner in the Stollwerk
production!! Just like that, I think they let it be bottled there!!
To get some peace from the mandatory spritzing blonde ladies
(after a week of in and out of Müller, the Prada ladies know me from sprinting through) and I have to pass by even more often, I'll just get it over with!
Arm out, smile, kindly thanking, my duty fulfilled!
Powdery little clouds, very nice! Fruity, a bit floral.
The gentle Prada line that the newer ones have now.
The fluffy cloud dissipates in no time!
But then, when I arrive in the basement, it hits me, with all due respect, almost knocks me out
of my ballerinas!
My skin managed to transform the gentle scent of 'Creme au Caramel'
into a harsh, not at all cheerful scent like 'dog poop'.
I'm sorry, I felt so nauseous. I was horrified!
The horror lasted a good 20 minutes,
only to then fade into the scent of a dog wiped down with wet wipes.
It does come back and smells delicious like East Frisian blend with
candy wood and cream.
But it has absolutely no body (maybe it was just candy:)) and no strength.
It lasts only as long as it is appropriate for a young lady to
wander alone at the fair!! About two, three hours!
I'm not a young thing anymore and wouldn't want to experience those 20 minutes again anyway.
Sorry, I had to get that off my chest, I also asked around and I'm not alone with this experience.
Still, I'm already going to take cover now;)

Why didn't I read your comment earlier? I just sprayed on the nice bonus from my last Souk order without reading up on it first. **Candy** is warning enough. It doesn't wash off. Even after many years, you won't have anything against a sugar shock trophy. I'm just surprised that this scent is still on the market.

I also find it creepy. Unfortunately, it's often worn by those who have no talent when it comes to subtle perfume application. ?

:D :D Great writing! Even though I have the scent and actually find it quite decent. But it's awesome how you described it and your feelings about it :D The trophy is yours!

And even if you were the only one with your opinion! You deserve a sugar trophy for the comment without any AA :-)

But after two hours ALONE at the fair, a young lady is indeed dishonored, Mrs. Lilie... ;)

It smells like how you feel after using the vomit machines at the fair, while having a belly full of cotton candy. Stay away from me...
@Bäumchen: No, it’s nothing like Dior, just plain awful.

I was also very disappointed. At first, I got a bit of caramel, but then it smelled like the base of Leau Ambre, so boring.

Well, the perfume department is right by the entrance for a reason;)) We get everyone;)) But you're not alone in your opinion about Candy. I can't stand it either.

Maybe that was the aa **bullsh*t** scent "Eau de I’ll Carry You" - it really exists! I just saw it at Müller yesterday ;) It smells just like you described!

Not the carnival stall scent again! Can it be compared to Miss Dior Cherie from 2005? This one really doesn't work for me, so I much prefer the 2011 version!
