Michael Malul London 173 Candy is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Frank Voelkl and Roger Howell. 173 Candy opens with Quince and Citrus, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, Amber, and Vanilla. Michael Malul London's 173 Candy carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This 'Candy' is anything but childish. It's a sweet, fluffy, and surprisingly sophisticated vanilla-floral that punches above its weight, with many comparing it favourably to popular high-end scents.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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

Opens with a bright, unusual burst of quince and citrus, lending a juicy freshness that quickly softens. The heart blooms with a creamy blend of rose, jasmine, and freesia, creating a 'fluffy' floral sweetness. The dry down is a warm, enveloping hug of vanilla, amber, and woody notes, underpinned by a clean musk that ensures it never veers into overly saccharine territory. It's a beautifully blended, mature take on a sweet fragrance.
