From the brand - "Live your sweetest fantasy with Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar | 42 Eau de Parfum! Sugary, delightful, and tempting, this fragrance is a lighter, youthful take on the brand’s cult-fav, Vanilla | 28. Inspired by Mona’s love for candy and mouthwatering notes, Vanilla Candy celebrates one of the most desired notes in fragrance with its delicious blend of sweet ingredients. Notes of glazed candied pear and bubble gum playfully enhance the fruity, candy-like sweetness with a tempting vanillic explosion at the heart, magnified by warm and woody notes of tonka bean, sandalwood, and patchouli."
Huda Beauty Kayali Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar 42 is the edp, eau de parfum.
Fragrantica - "It's sweet at first but the dry down becomes a lot more sensual! I was a bit worried about the comparisons to La Belle because I'm not a fan of how boozy that is to me. So, the dry down DOES have La Belle vibes, but all the sweet notes tone it down so it's more tolerable for me. It's surprisingly mature and not juvenile at all. Pink princess vibes."
Fragrantica - "Wow what a fantastic summer scent. I can definitely get the Vanilla DNA on the dry down. It’s a mature bubble gum meats animal cracker cookie fragrance. White flowers, pear, and caramel all come through."
Fragrantica - "Vanilla 28's younger sister. It's lighter and brighter like white sugar compared to the brown sugar in Vanilla 28. But so well rounded and full of life. Warm, zingy, sugary, and yummy. This fragrance is sweet like an expensive confectionary. It's candy-like but more mature if you're expecting something sweet like an Ariana Grande or Juicy Couture perfume."
Fragrantica - "Beautifully sweet, fun, sugary, flirty, playful, vanilla forward fragrance! I love it, a new fave! The more I’ve been wearing this the more I love it! It’s even now in my top 3 Kayali faves with Vanilla 28 and The Wedding Silk Santal! The bottle is also absolutely stunning"
