Risala Candelicious is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025. Candelicious opens with Nectarine, Lemon, Freesia, and Apple, settles into a heart of Red Fruits, Marshmallow, Cream, and Sugar Cane, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Vanilla, and Raspberry. Risala's Candelicious carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

A sweet, fruity, and polarising gourmand that splits opinion straight down the middle. Some find it a delicious, edible marshmallow dream, others a synthetic nightmare. You'll either adore its candelicious charm or recoil from its fruit salad overload.

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.

This is a very sweet and prominent fragrance best suited for casual wear, where its playful nature won't be overwhelming. Its gourmand profile makes it less appropriate for formal or office settings, though it could work for a relaxed date night.

About

Candelicious opens with a burst of bright fruits, a zesty lemon mingled with crisp apple and juicy nectarine, softened by the delicate touch of freesia. This quickly gives way to a creamy, sugary heart where marshmallow, strawberry, and red berries blend with a hint of coconut, creating an overwhelmingly sweet, almost confectionary experience. The base settles into a warm, inviting dry-down of vanilla, sweet raspberry, and a soft, lingering musk, with a touch of amber for depth.
