Sugar

Sugar by Franck Boclet is a rich, dense gourmand fragrance centered around sweet marshmallow, honey, and white floral notes, with a creamy base of vanilla and coconut. The opening is bright and fruity with bergamot, cassis, and peach, leading into a velvety heart of marshmallow, jasmine, and pear, all grounded in a powdery musk and orange blossom. The drydown reveals a long-lasting, subtly soapy and waxy character, often described as resembling bath soap or aged floral powder. While many appreciate its sweetness and noble composition—comparing it favorably to Prada Candy Kiss and L'Instant de Guerlain—others find the drydown overly medicinal or chemical, with a strong soap-like intensity that some describe as overwhelming or unpleasant. It exhibits excellent longevity and moderate to strong sillage, making it best suited for cooler seasons like autumn and winter. The fragrance appeals most to those who enjoy bold, sweet, floral musks, particularly in a sophisticated, mature way, though its intensity may not suit sensitive noses or warm climates. It is highly polarizing but widely admired for its unique gourmand character and emotional depth.
