Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar | 42 EDP
This is a love-it-or-hate-it gourmand vanilla, absolutely bursting with candy-sweetness. It's divisive, but fans rave about its elevated, 'grown-up' take on bubblegum and marshmallow, whilst detractors find it cloying and juvenile. If you crave intense sugar, this serves it up by the bucketload.
Statement
Our Verdict - Candy Sugar EDP
A budget take on Kayali's Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar 42, built on the same candied pear, bubblegum and marshmallow sweetness over a woody-vanilla base. It captures the playful gourmand signature and, like the original, struggles for longevity on skin while staying fun and grown-up rather than juvenile.
