Prada Candy Gloss
I am not a fan of Prada Candy, too powdery on my skin. Candy L'eau is better, I don't love it but I do like it. It's lighter and fresher than its predecessor, it's a shame that it was discontinued. Prada Candy Gloss is a solid love for me. It's a complete deviation from the other two that I mentioned. It was a blind-buy so I was understandably nervous but after the first spray hit my body and I got a good whiff of it, I breathed a sigh of relief.

I recognized the cherry right away, that's the note that stands out to me in the beginning. It settles on the skin quickly and I can smell the almond and vanilla mingling with the cherry and I have to say, I really do get a "cherry lip gloss" feel from this fragrance and I truly enjoy it. If I didn't know what this was and someone told me that it was a unisex niche fragrance, I would believe them. I can't pick out the rest of the notes because they're so well blended but the overall effect is so pleasing. Not the same by any means but certainly in the same vein as Maison Margiela's Lipstick On (which I also have) but true to its name, it's more glossy and less lipsticky.

I find this fragrance different, unique and interesting. No one will be able to guess what you're wearing with this one.

Staying power on my skin is good. Three sprays in the morning easily lasts me all day. The Fall-like weather we've been getting in Ontario has been perfect for this scent to really shine.

I don't think that it's a safe-blind buy for most people so be sure to try before you buy.

Cherry candy
In here= Turkey we have cherry candies and I like eating them. It smells like cherry candy. (Not relate with original. I used to have it in highschool it is more caramel.) On clothes performance is good but I bet on my skin not good. Sometimes it smells unfortunately synthetic, artificial to me. + I like it overall and younger girls must like. Pink is suitable color. If SYRUPY/SYNTHETİC smell no longer in here I would like more. But it is still in my want list :)

He he
Yes, it smells like lip gloss. And it smells like girls that wear lip gloss. I leave you with that thought.

Too clean for a gloss!
I wanted to love this. The concept of a higher end cherry lipgloss perfume really speaks to me, and I enjoy the original Candy and the musky flanker Candy Kiss.

But Candy Gloss doesn't smell like a cherry lipgloss to me, in fact, I don't think of anything glossy when I smell it. I find it rather soapy instead, and I would never put a soapy smelling product on my lips.

The sour cherry note is tart, fresh and juicy with just a light sweetness, which I like. A hint of blackcurrant emphasizes the tartness. It's always interesting to try cherry fragrances that were issued before Lost Cherry and all the hype around it, they often do cherry differently from the average cherry perfume of today. Cherry is definitely the most important note in Candy Gloss.
Next come orange blossom and musk, adding a clean base for the cherry. I can sense the peach and benzoin, too, but very faintly. I wished they were amped up a bit and made the scent a little warmer. Or as another option, I prefer like it if the musk was a little creamier, like it is in Candy Kiss.

The way it is, this is an okay, even likeable scent, but nothing I would really want to smell like and a bit disappointing based on the name and idea behind it.

I blind bought Candy Gloss and was hesitant to spray before bedtime. I sprayed it into the air and walked into the mist to be sure it wasn’t too potent on my wrists.
What a lovely scent! The first whiff of cherries made me immediately fall in love. It’s not too sweet. It’s a bit powdery though, and very feminine.
I’m always seeking a new cherry perfume that isn’t cloying or migraine inducing. This perfume is absolutely lovely!

A big fan of the cherry + black currant combination. A good balance between sweet and tart.

Pleasant and a little girly, it smells of lipgloss but the sillage is weak in comparison with the high price.
A quite "useless" flanker.
