173 Candy

173 Candy is a soft, delicate fragrance that leans more toward a creamy, woody vanilla with subtle florals and a hint of fresh quince rather than a sugary candy. The opening features a light citrus and quince note, giving it a slightly juicy but dry character before transitioning into a warm, powdery vanilla-amber base. Despite being described as sweet, it avoids the cloying nature of typical gourmands and instead feels mature and refined. The scent evolves into a cozy, intimate vanillic glow with musky and woody undertones, making it especially suitable for daytime wear and seasons beyond the summer, with more than moderate wearability in fall and winter. It's widely praised for its longevity and subtle, skin-scent-like projection—making it ideal for those who prefer discretion but still want a fondly lingering impression. Many compare it to Dama Bianca and Victoria's Secret Pure Seduction, noting the shared gourmand-floral essence, while others highlight its uniqueness, especially for fans of nuanced, lighthearted sweetness with a whisper of resinous depth.
