Candy Shop delight
A perfume which was on sale before it disappeared completely - a limited Christmas edition and I had missed all the limited Winter editions before.
"Mallow" is too unspecific for me to identify it with a plant, "mauve" however is a wild mallow with a light purple colour. On the box they refer to violets, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.
Candied Mallows/Mauves Cristallisées starts with almond, sweet almonds as in marzipan. After a while I can sense the musk, the sweetness of the tonka beans and something faintly flowery (mallow and rose?). This is not a complex perfume and you have to spray in several layers to get a stronger and longer lasting smell. If you don't like gourmand and sweet perfumes, it is not for you. It has some following - some say it is close to other Winter editions - but it is discontinued. So, if you miss(ed) this, look out for the next editions - who knows, they might be close.
