Candie's Candie's is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1999, created by Thierry Wasser. Candie's opens with Lemon and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Gardenia, and Peach, and dries down to a base of Amber and Ylang-Ylang. Candie's's Candie's carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This 90s throwback is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, a punchy citrus floral that some find invigoratingly sharp and others, well, just sharp. It screams Y2K youth, so if you're not into loud fruity florals, best steer clear. Expect a full-throttle nostalgic hit.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Candie's opens with a vibrant, almost aggressive blast of citrus, primarily lemon and mandarin, zinging with an unexpected peppery edge. This sharp start mellows into a heady floral heart where jasmine, gardenia, and ylang-ylang compete for attention, occasionally underpinned by a ripe, almost 'overripe' peach note. The dry down introduces a sweet, almost caramel-like amber, retaining a clean, shampoo-like freshness that defines its late 90s aesthetic.
