Candy Dream

Candy Dream is a sweet, tropical fruity floral from Ulric de Varens, released in 2019 and marketed for women. Gourmand is how everyone describes it, most also call it floral, and a third notice wood, musk or a faintly leathery edge.

Mango, passionfruit and nectarine open it together, the mango ripe and juicy, the passionfruit tangy and sharp, the nectarine soft and slightly tart, so the start is a bright, sunny burst of fruit. The heart is a trio of exotic flowers: passion flower for a sweet, slightly green floral note, blue lilies for a cool, watery, faintly powdery freshness, and lotus for a clean, aquatic softness, which together keep the middle lighter than the fruit might suggest. The base is coconut, milky and sweet, with sandalwood adding a creamy wood and musk a soft, skin-like finish that holds the tropical sweetness close.

It is a warm-weather, daytime scent for women who like tropical fruit and coconut in a fragrance and want flowers to lighten them.
