Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sweet Like Candy EDP
Sweet Like Candy is a divisive one, people either adore its syrupy, playful sweetness, or they find it too juvenile and fleeting. If you're after a loud, long-lasting gourmand, this probably won't be your jam. But for a delicate, sugary fruit hit, it delivers.
Statement
Our Verdict - Sweet Like Candy - 317 EDP
No. 317 leans into Ariana Grande Sweet Like Candy's blackberry-marshmallow gourmand appeal, but the sweetness is more one-note sugary and the fade to a simple musk happens far sooner than the original's creamier, longer-lasting finish.

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its sweet, light, and often short-lived nature makes it great for casual wear or dates where a subtle scent is preferred. However, for formal events or the office, its playful and sometimes perceived 'juvenile' character, combined with variable longevity, might not be the best fit.
