Real talk
Sweet Like Candy is aggressively sugary at first spray, but it calms down fast. The drydown is where it lives, a warm, soft cloud that feels like wearing vanilla marshmallows.Sweet Like Candy
This one divides people. If warm, powdery florals with serious throw are your thing, you're in the right place. If you need something crisp or aquatic to feel modern, keep walking.Luminous
