Candy

Prada · 2011

Burnt caramel and benzoin over white musk, sweet but not syrupy.

Caramel is the main note, warm and slightly scorched, lifted by a bit of powdery musk. Benzoin and vanilla make the base creamy. It became a popular sweet scent for people who want sugar with a soft, skin-like finish.

Ranked by how much they share with Candy. The notes in common are listed under each bottle. Prices and stock come from the makers’ own shops.

Fairy Bread
Sugar Milk Co.
$5–49Oil
Shares the caramel, vanilla and tonka bean sweetness, with amber underneath. It adds nutmeg and rosewater, and is an oil, so it sits spicier and less musky.
Shared notes
Pumpkin Harvest
Simons Nest
$10–18Oil
Caramel in the heart over a benzoin and vanilla pod base, so the creamy resin is there. Baked pumpkin, brown sugar and nutmeg make it a seasonal treat, not a skin scent.
Shared notes
- Benzoin
- Caramel
Crèmelle
Gallagher Fragrances
$7–125
Caramel with creme brulee, vanilla and musk in the base gives a creamy sweetness. Bergamot, grapefruit and cedar make it brighter and woodier than a soft sugar scent.

Spectral Bride
PULP Fragrance Inc.

Caramel and vanilla with amber, described by the maker as smoked vanilla. Blonde woods make it drier and smokier, with no powdery musk.
