Montale Candy Rose is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Pierre Montale. Candy Rose opens with Blood Orange, Mandarin, Raspberry, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Rose, Jasmine, and Lily Of The Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk, Orange Blossom, and Vanilla. Montale's Candy Rose carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Don't let the name fool you - Candy Rose is Montale's divisive fruity-floral that's more fresh rose bouquet than syrupy sweet. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with some adoring its bright, clean charm and others dismissing it as unremarkable, soapy, or even a public toilet air freshener.

About

Opening with a juicy burst of blackcurrant, raspberry, and litchi, Candy Rose is immediately bright and effervescent. The heart reveals a crisp rose, softened by delicate lily of the valley and a hint of jasmine, grounded by an earthy patchouli. As it settles, a clean musk and creamy vanilla emerge, rounding out the playful fruit and floral blend with a subtle, airy sweetness. Expect a fresh and slightly soapy rose, rather than a truly candied treat.
