The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2012 by Montale and crafted by Pierre Montale, Candy Rose is a Floral Fruity fragrance that captures the essence of sweet indulgence. The opening notes of litchi, raspberry, black currant, blood orange, and mandarin orange create an effervescent freshness that dances on the skin. At its heart, rose takes center stage alongside jasmine and lily-of-the-valley, providing a delicate floral bouquet. The base notes of patchouli, white musk, vanilla, and orange blossom add depth and warmth, grounding the composition in a sweet yet sophisticated finish.
Apply Candy Rose to pulse points and allow it a few minutes to develop fully. The fruity top notes are fleeting, but they set up the floral heart beautifully. For longer-lasting sweetness, reapply after several hours or when you want that initial burst again.
