Candy Rose

by Pierre Montale

Montale Candy Rose is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Pierre Montale. Candy Rose opens with Blackcurrant, Raspberry, Litchi, and Blood Orange, settles into a heart of Rose, Lily Of The Valley, Jasmine, and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Orange Blossom, Musk, 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.

Its fresh, clean, and somewhat light profile makes it suitable for casual wear and daily use. While some find its longevity good, the lack of heavy sweetness or strong sillage keeps it from being overpowering for office or formal settings.

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.
