  Who cares about catalog perfumes? You have to try everything. This scent takes me right back to my teenage years. On birthdays, we used to get little Avon perfumes as gifts, and that’s how my collection started: heartfelt presents from friends that I wore just as much. It’s quite sweet and floral. When you apply it to your skin, you feel joy, like walking into a flower garden on a spring morning. It lasts well and is very affordable. I hope people my age remember it the way I do.

  Ylang-ylang and sandalwood with a little bit of jasmine and moss… with a generous drop. It’s retro, intense, nothing ‘candid’, and it clings to everything; the type of fragrance that 80s telenovela lovers would have chosen to announce their presence to wives… and housewives for the days they cooked fish LOL. My mom bought it once too (there’s always a friend, neighbor, or cousin selling Avon here hehe), because it came with a powder, and back then she loved using powders, however, none of the three women in the house noticed the perfume, which ended up getting lost. My mom didn’t even care about the powder after opening it; I’m embarrassed to reveal it, but the one who ended up using it was me during my childhood games, spreading it on the floor to ‘ice skate’ barefoot and slide better while dancing. My grandma also collaborated with someone once (buying Avon is almost a courtesy to acquaintances), but in her house it also got lost… in my house it passed without much fuss; but I admit it’s a brand classic, dear to many, just as Anais Anais ~ Cacharel could be (clarifying they are different).

  I was about 10 years old when my mom used it, today I’m 37 and I want to get it to give it to her again, she loved it, she always had extra, she didn’t want to run out of her perfume. Today she remembers it and I wish it would come back because she liked it so much.

  What a beautiful memory this perfume brings back! I even borrowed it from my cousin (what a shame I can’t keep it), and I loved it. It was sweet and fresh, very gorgeous.

  I recently bought a mini of Candid. Avon made really great fragrances, especially in terms of aromatic quality; maybe in creativity some launches were similar to other creations but with a distinct twist. What happened with Candid was that as soon as I opened it, I was automatically transported back to the past, to my childhood, feeling this scent on the necks of countless women, so familiar it seemed to occupy the same spot in my mind as any new perfume I use now. At times I felt Candid was a less woody version of the classic Anais Anais (1978) by Cacharel, I also thought of its similarity to Jontue by Revlon (1977) but less balsamic. The signature of Candid is a white floral with well-executed touches of sandalwood, blending with oakmoss, ylang-ylang, and flashes of vetiver. It’s simpler than Anais Anais in complexity, but no less interesting. Over time it becomes powdery, soft, nothing dense. The bergamot shines more. It has its own thing. This review is for an 80s mini.

  I love it! My mom used to wear it when she was single and still does… we’ve always had a bottle each. It’s fresh, light, yet elegant and powerful… simply delicious. My mom has kept a lock of her hair scented with this fragrance for over 30 years… the scent isn’t as strong anymore, but you can still detect it without any issue.

  I love it! My mom wore it when she was single and still uses it… we’ve always had a bottle for her and one for me. It’s fresh, light, yet elegant and powerful… simply delicious… my mom has kept a lock of her hair scented with this fragrance for over 30 years… the scent isn’t as strong anymore, but it’s still easily detectable.

  It was my mom’s perfume. I loved it. It’s powerful, woody, and floral, with great sillage and longevity. It never went unnoticed when she wore it. I always thought it was an original scent.

  I’m not surprised it’s still in circulation after nearly half a century. I thought it might be heavy, but not at all, maybe I should try the regular bottle because I have the roll-on version and I liked this one more. It has my favorite flowers and spices (sandalwood) and vetiver, wow! So good, it’s… refined, just simple. It transports me back to my childhood when my favorite people smelled like this or similar perfumes. I don’t know why I correlate it with Air du Temps by Nina Ricci, maybe the vetiver or the neroli are the soapy connection…

  No wonder it’s still in circulation after nearly half a century. I thought it might be heavy, but not at all; maybe the regular bottle suits me better, since this rollerball version left me breathless. It has my favorite flowers and spices (sandalwood) and vetiver, wow, so rich! It’s refined, so simple. It brings back memories of my childhood when my favorite people smelled like this or similar perfumes. Maybe the vetiver or neroli is the soapy connection to Nina Ricci’s Air du Temps, I’m not sure, but it smells like nostalgia.

  80s vibes? Candid by Avon is a classic according to them, and even the current bottle evokes fragrances from the past. It was a hit for the brand trying to mimic high-end scents with a floral top note and a warm sandalwood heart; it still charms today. I have a 1993 bottle I keep, filled with the scent of my childhood when an Avon rep would come to my house with samples and I, being very young, barely understood what perfume was. Candid was the first one I fell in love with and didn’t feel matronly like my mom’s; it was the first I truly understood and that made me want to buy my own perfume.

  An 80s vibe? Avon considers Candid a classic, and the current bottle already sounds like an old-school fragrance. It was a hit when the brand tried to stand out by slightly imitating high-end scents, with a floral opening and a warm heart from sandalwood that still charms today. I have the 1993 bottle, and it smells exactly like I remember from my childhood, when a rep would come to my house with a sample bag and I, so young, barely understood what perfume was. Candid was one of the first I adored and didn’t feel matronly like my mom’s; it was the first one I truly understood and that made me want to buy my own perfume.

  So nostalgic, this perfume brings back precious memories of my childhood. It’s a shame they don’t sell it anymore 😭
