    What an exquisite Candy Yum Yum! A fresh fruity caramel guava with floral notes, perfect for spring-summer, sweet and exquisite. Very feminine; it’s the only one in the series that doesn’t smell unisex. Ideal for a happy, elegant woman. I find it super original, nothing I know compares to it… I can’t stop wearing it when it’s hot because I absolutely love it.

    What an exquisite Candy Yum Yum! A fresh fruity caramel with guava and floral notes, perfect for spring and summer—sweet and divine. Very feminine; it’s the only one in the series that doesn’t smell unisex. Ideal for a cheerful, elegant woman. It feels super original, unlike anything I know. I can’t stop wearing it when it’s hot because I absolutely love it.

    Got this as a Christmas gift and… it’s nothing like the hype. Super generic, nothing special at all. Total disappointment: I don’t smell any cotton candy, it doesn’t last, has no sillage, and nothing else. Super boring and way too expensive for what it is. Many celebrity fragrances perform a thousand times better. I returned it and wouldn’t recommend it.

    That playful guava at the start… it smells super sweet, youthful, and fun. I can’t remember another perfume like this. When it first launched, I didn’t have the cash to buy it and waited, but by the time I went to get it, it was already sold out. Hard to find this gem again.

    Beautiful and rare perfume: the opening is an explosive, delicious guava, followed by red fruits, pepper, and cotton candy. It’s intense and interesting; I thought it might be another generic celebrity scent, but I was wrong—it’s divine and worth trying.
