This one’s unfortunately a scrubber for me. And its beast mode so I’m SCRUBBING.I haven’t smelled Candy Rock Sugar in a few months but I remember walking around with it in Sephora for at least 20 minutes trying to decide whether to purchase or not and ultimately I decided I liked Skylar’s Boardwalk Delight *much* better. So when I heard this one was a dupe all I could remember was liking Rock Candy Sugar enough to consider spending on it. I wish I remembered what I didn’t love about Candy Rock Sugar to compare it to what I don’t love about Khair Confection but it reminds me of an entire “family”of gourmands that I just can’t stand. I’m not sure if its patchouli or cashmeran or maybe the combination of those interpretations with jasmine/ylang ylang but there’s something “mature” here that makes the gourmand an inedible one and heavily “perfumey” to me. It reminds me of what shopping malls used to smell like in 2010 during the holiday season. Like the ladies who sold perfume at the Macy’s counter.Nothing about this perfume smells like candy *to me.* It smells sweet without a doubt but not the least bit edible or like pears and I’m an edible gourmand girlie. I have Kayali Vanilla and I only reach for it once or twice a year when I’m going somewhere super formal or a fine dining restaurant because it also shares this “very grown mature adult” characteristic that I hate.If you’re a fan of Coco Mademoiselle, the Mugler Alien/Angel lines, or the Dior poison line, you’d probably like this. If you’re like me and prefer creamy, lactonic, sugary, bubblegum, cotton candy, caramel, toffee, this one may be a little heavy or maybe the girlies might call it “seductive” or alluring or those dark vixen eyeliner types.Idk but I’m just a girl and I hate this.3 stars bc its a good performer and I like the Paris Corner line, I just happen to loathe this fragrance.
