The review
Strong contender. That is where Candy lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Candy.
Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Candy's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $23 it costs 79% less than Candy.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Palermo Perfumes publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
What it is chasing: caramel and bergamot up top, benzoin and vanilla in the middle, musk, vanilla and benzoin underneath — the shape of Prada Candy.
Top
- caramel
- bergamot
Heart
- benzoin
- vanilla
Base
- musk
- vanilla
- benzoin
Burnt caramel over powdery benzoin, sweet without ever tipping into sticky.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
