Candy Love: Escada's new guilty pleasure. It was in 1990 that the house of Escada created its first fragrance. It bore the creator's name and had a unique heart-shaped glass bottle. Imbued with extreme femininity, it brilliantly reflected all the sensuality of the essence it contained.
The house of Escada is renowned for its glamorous yet relaxed side, its sensual and elegant femininity, and its ever-renewed modernity. Indeed, the house creates a new summer fragrance in limited edition every year. All of its fragrances are highly anticipated and share one thing in common: they transport us to a faraway, joyful territory within seconds. Drawing on this cheerfulness, Escada once again gives birth to a new limited edition named Candy Love. Through both its bottle and its scent, Candy Love surprises and takes us back to our fondest memories. Here is our review of this fragrance.

Candy Love, a Proustian madeleine
Candy Love is a fragrance that brilliantly evokes our fondest childhood memories. With a single breath, it takes us back to the heart of a fairground, facing a candy apple or cotton candy stand. It is therefore all the mischief and carefree spirit of childhood that seems to resurface from this fragrance. Perfect for enhancing a woman-child, Candy Love brings a smile to the lips from its top notes to its base notes. With it, gloominess has no place. Escada invites us more than ever to see life through rose-colored glasses. Not without a touch of nostalgia, it brings a daily touch of comfort. From then on, it appears as a true Proustian madeleine!
A modern bottle inspired by Escada's heritage
Candy Love comes in a box that could have come straight from a fairground stall. Covered in pink and white stripes, it bears a cherry-pink heart at its center. Of course, this evokes femininity and generosity, but also the color of candy apple. Inside this cardboard box lies a heart-shaped bottle. Completely opaque, it resembles a gourmand berlingot. In a pink hue, it delivers a very contemporary and almost childlike style. Yet, it also echoes the very first fragrance bottle of the house of Escada, created in 1990. As a reminder, that one was also a heart. It was made of glass, in a much more classic style. Candy Love appears as a token of renewal, embodying on its own all of Escada's creativity and modernity.
The naturally gourmand ingredients of Candy Love
Another notable strength: Candy Love's recipe contains main notes coming exclusively from natural ingredients. Here, everything begins with a sweet burst. In its dreamlike world, Candy Love wafts a soft scent of candy apple. Then, this delicious sweet opening gives way to a more dreamlike and romantic heart of rose. So that its sweet side does not become too heavy, Candy Love also contains green mandarin. Finally, in its base, it ends with a creamy cloud of vanilla whipped cream. It is a true delight that intoxicates the senses and that we owe to two very talented perfumers: Amandine Marie and Nicolas Bonneville.
