The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2020, 173 Candy by Michael Malul London is a creation from perfumers Frank Voelkl and Roger Howell. This fragrance opens with the fresh, tangy scent of quince, balanced by citruses that create an immediate sense of brightness. At its heart, jasmine, freesia, and rose bring a delicate floral bouquet that feels both familiar and unexpected. The base notes of vanilla, amber, woody accords, and musk ground this composition with warmth and depth, making it feel like a comforting embrace.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points — the citrus top notes are bright but fade within an hour. The floral warmth and powdery base will linger through the day, making it ideal for daytime wear.
