ABOUT

Candied Fruits is a gourmand accord that smells of crystallized sugar over simmered fruit—jammy, syrupy, and glossy—with hints of marmalade, dried fruit, and a faint boozy warmth, evoking festive confections and patisserie glaze. In perfumery it sweetens and enriches fruity-florals, gourmands, and opulent orientals, bridging sparkling top notes to ambered bases; it pairs especially well with vanilla, warm spices, patchouli, woods, and musks, and must be dosed carefully to avoid cloying sweetness.
