The Essence Vault Sweet Like Candy - 317 is an Eau de Parfum. Sweet Like Candy - 317 opens with Bergamot and Blackberry, settles into a heart of Marshmallow and Honeysuckle, and dries down to a base of Musk and Vanilla. The Essence Vault's Sweet Like Candy - 317 carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

No. 317 leans into Ariana Grande Sweet Like Candy's blackberry-marshmallow gourmand appeal, but the sweetness is more one-note sugary and the fade to a simple musk happens far sooner than the original's creamier, longer-lasting finish.

About

No. 317 is The Essence Vault's take on Ariana Grande's Sweet Like Candy, a fun, sugary gourmand aimed at fans of loud, playful sweetness. It opens with a juicy blackberry and bergamot burst that lands close to the original's candy-shop energy, before moving into a fluffy marshmallow and honeysuckle heart. The sweetness here reads a touch flatter and more synthetic than the original's whipped-cream softness, without quite the same gourmand richness. The vanilla and musk base is pleasant but generic, and performance drops off noticeably faster than the original, settling into a light skin scent within a few hours. It is best suited to daytime wear or casual outings where a fun, sugary vibe is the goal rather than serious projection or longevity.
