This is fabulous. Love the smell. Lasts all day on me.
Cute bottle, great scent and a value price. A very ladylike
gourmand. I very much like this one. Candy Land.

Smells so much like Bonbon by Viktor Rolf.
They did an awesome job replicating the scent.
The longevity isn’t as good as bonbon, but I don’t mind reapplying.
This will save you so much money instead of buying the bonbon.
I love it!

Projection is good but longevity is poor. Lasts around 2 hours on clothes.

Jeanne Arthes’fragrances are miracles because they smell classy and expensive, and are so reasonably priced. You could easily collect all of them for the cost of one ritzy perfume.
Boum Candyland is a super-star. Sugary and sweet, and somehow floral and girly at the same time. A comforting, comfortable scent laden with milk, sweet vanilla, and fruit, floating on a cloud of orange blossoms.
Nostalgic notes, like a young girl playing dress-up, but mature and lady-like too. A bargain treasure.

Candyland is gorgeous!
It’s very similar to Bonbon, I just wish it had the same longevity! Otherwise I’d buy 10 bottles of it being so well priced compared with Bonbon.
I also like the cute bottle

I am new to this site and came across this brand while searching for gourmand scents! I immediately ordered some BOUM fragrances, since they seem good value, although I ordered them all “blind” based on the great reviews I read here.
According to the Jeanne Arthes site, here is the description of this scent:
“Cupcakes and pop cakes, sweets and macaroons, madeleines, and marshmallows … she rushes into the bakery and her eyes twirl in front of all this confectionery … Do not resist anymore, enter this universe of treats with Candy Land, the new extension to the range of best selling Boum, for young and mischievous girls. A sweet and vanilla fragrance reminiscent of small delicacies at the end of the oven. The bottle and the case of Boum Candy Land evoke the shapes and colors of all these sweets that we like to taste.”
Top note: Mandarin, Blackcurrant syrup, Hot milk
Heart note: Orange blossom, Melon blossom, Caramel
Base note: Sandalwood, Cotton candy, Vanilla
At first, I found it smelled odd right after spraying it on with a lot of alcohol, but after a short while, it turned into a delicious, soft, yummy, gourmand scent. It is VERY sweet. I am not sure which notes I am smelling, but it is definitely candy- and bakery-like.
It does not last very long, but I did get faint wafts of it over an hour later. A little bit girly, but very delightful.
The bottle is very cute and again, comes with the unusual pin/nozzle.

Better than I expected, honestly. Definitely not childish or juvenile, it’s sweet yes but it has much more in common with scents like JS Fancy and V&R BonBon. Not candy like (as many others have said already). On me, the toffee is the most prominent note and it is nice and creamy. Not super strong, but I keep getting a nice whiff now and then. The musk and sandalwood keeps it nicely “grown up” and black currant always plays well with my chemistry. I don’t get the melon at all which is probably good.
I don’t even really get “bakery” honestly, on me it is just a nice gourmand…. not particularly reminiscent of any pastry or anything like that, just a very pleasant feminine, sweet gourmand.
For the price, I am pleasantly surprised at how nice it smells. I have bought a few Jeanne Arthes fragrances recently, always checking reviews here first, and so far they have all panned out!
I am sure the longevity isn’t going to be great, but for $10 I will put some in a purse spray and bring along!

I love this one. Sweet toffee, a bit strong at the beginning, but the drydown is just milky, yummy goodness. I thought this one would be only for cold weather, but I’ve worn it in hot days and it went fine. But there’s nothing like spraying this on your scarf in a cold afternoon so you can keep sniffing it for hours.
There’s a hint of sandalwood in the drydown, and the longevity is not bad either. And it’s a real bargain.
KosTeT – :
I reviewed this when I got it, think I deleted it, maybe it got downvoted, who knows? ANYWAY…
This smells SUPER CLOSE to Bonbon by Viktor&Rolf, except Bonbon has more of a cedar/resinous dry down (compared to the milky caramel musk in this) and Candy Land has more sticky cotton candy and “body-splash-style” fruit in the opening. There are a few other subtle nuances here and there as well but the resemblance is absolutely uncanny.
Initial spray is warm, SUPER sweet pink syrup with citrus rind & tangy black currant, as it softens I get a lot of orange blossom, vanilla, and sandalwood, with a hint of milky caramel and cool, watery melon.

It’s beautiful, it has nothing to do with candies tho, it’s more “mature” than its name can make you think.
Too bad that within 2 hours or less it completely dissapears of my skin. But It’s a typical perfum that you can re-spray as much as you want because it’s so cheap, so, for a blind buy which was my case, it’s worth it.

mmmm… toffee!! Loving that toffee aroma. toffee, milky cotton candy, vanilla, sandalwood –all of my favorites! I really love how there’s an actual cotton candy note in this. It’s very sweet, indeed. But I am so surprised how cheap this is, cause it could become one of my favorites, easily. The lasting power isn’t so great. but that’s to be expected. This is another really good Jeanne Arthes fragrance. I’m a big fan of Sexy Me No1, Private room, and more! I used to have the Boum Vanille and was not as impressed, as it was more so apple and carnival sweet smelling. This is also sort of false advertising. I’m not really getting candy, but sweet desserts! Very foody, indeed. Once this dries down, it’s sooo lovely. Maybe some might find it juvenille, but i don’t care! milky, toffee, cotton candy and vanilla goodness! This is right up my alley! And I recommend it to those w ho aren’t sure. If you like gourmands, you can’t go wrong. This is also quite unique smelling, that’s also why I love it. The bottle is kinda tacky, but i kind of like the purple color of the bottle! Yayy! Very pleased with this!

This should be called pastry land,not Candy Land. This is pastries,not lollipops. I definitely smell some macaroons in there. Candy Land reminds me of a French pastry,which conjures up a nice image for me. This is playful and sweet,but not overly so. It’s gentle,but sort of smells like a scented candle. But overall,a pleasant scent,for a great price!

Candy Land is very nice and yummy. A little chewy and a little milky. I’m hesitant to say I love it because I feel like it’s still growing on me with every wear. I would say it’s my favorite of the Boum line. It’s not anything new, but the toffee changes things up a bit. It’s toffee vanilla berry sweet with a nice sandalwood base. The sandalwood smooths everything out. It’s definitely not as sugary or candy sweet as I expected. It reminds me of Cacharel Amor Amor, or Avon Secret Fantasy Midnight (not dupes, just reminders).
Kamazchik – :
Reminds me of Bon Bon! Cheap as chips and plenty sweet and not bad on lasting power! I do get a nice sandalwood too! One of my favorite sweet perfumes! Go JA!!!<3
Need backup bottle!

This lasts about 30 minutes on my clothes and skin. It smells good like sweet macaroons. Its just weak.
HeartDF – :
I blind bought this over a year ago, when it had no reviews, but I love JA perfumes. And c’mon– the name was Candy Land and I’m a gourmand freak.
This is great! Adorable and sweet! Like orange toffee with hints of milk and melon. It’s fruitier than I expected, and the juice is rather weak… but for the price it’s adorable and 100% worth it. FUN!
Now that Deb Martinez mentioned it…. this does smell like BonBon! I can’t believe I never put that together! <3

So glad Boum Candy land has been added onto the list.
This was a blind buy and I have a tiny bit of juice left as I wear this often.
Candy land is like stepping into a colourful(think of unicorn pastel shades) sweet shop.
Initial spray I get a yummy warm, inviting delectable scent that comes from the pearly white part of a swirl lollipop.(a bit vanilla creamy).. As Candy land wears on the melon and toffee notes keep the scent bright and glee. And then an hour into it there is a slight toffee/nutty/vanilla spun sugar to comfort. The citrus scents played nice here. They were barley detectable.
Is this a sweet scent? YES, but not in a sharp syrupy or artificial way. Candy land’s sweetness gears towards a toasty and glittering embrace. What a whimsical scent.
I’m 40 yet I feel this fragrance brings my inner child out but never too childish. I get a lot of compliments with Candyland..(more so than some of my super niche $$$ scents)…
Projection: Low to Moderate
Longevity: Low (2-3 hours before it’s time to reapply).
For under $10, what a freaking steal. Simply lovely and wears close to the skin.
Minior – :
On me, more mature than the design would suggest, like the other Boum fragrances. Thankfully, the vanilla in it is of the woodier persuasion, less candy-sweet than the name would imply. It also takes a back seat to milky sandalwood with just a bit of currant and caramel. The overall effect is a comforting one, but not childish.
