Not my type, but I cannot dislike it as it`s a great quality. It lives up to it`s name. It is to perfume what pop is to music. Class.

Jasmine-rose combo with slight hint of musk & fruitness. Feminine & mature (e.g. for ladies above ~30yrs old). Would be a good gift for a mother.

Don’t let the name “candyrose” fool you.this is sweet but not a gourmand.
Montale candy rose is a sweet,modern floralfruity with rose being it’s main actress but it’s not all about rose..it’s a Musky rose,soft and clean and pretty,blended with a sweet fruitchouli.it’s very mainstream and easy to like.sweet,youthful and bright.I can’t see anything masculine here.it’s superfeminine,actually girly and is wearable even by young girls
It has usual sweet,sharpness of a modern fruitchouli but as clean,musk shows up more in drydown,it becomes a little softer
Nothing unique or genius here but I really like it while I don’t love it.recently I decided to get rid of couple of my rosey fragrances because I’m not a hardcore rose fan as I used to be;but I decided to keep this one maybe because it’s not like Chloe edp or Stella or other famous rose perfumes which are more than 80% about rose
They don’t smell the same but it kind of reminds me yves saint laurent mon Paris…in montale musky rose is more well pronounced while in mon Paris fruity notes shine more
Longevity and sillage are both more than moderate.not as great as my other montale but still good for a pink floralfruity

Rose is by far one of my “avoid” notes. It usually turns sour (catty) or matronly on me. But after so much success wth Montale’s rose creations I swapped or split for a decant of this Candy Rose. It has everything I love in the pyramid so it’s gotta be a winner right?? Nope. Fortunately it is not any of those adjectives used earlier but this a full on rose, bright and beautiful. But it is just TOO MUCH ROSE for my liking. But Roses Elixir?? That my Rosey cup of tea!!!

I like it, it’s very rosy in all senses but not so much candy that I expected. The good thing is that it is a lot less green than the usual natural rose and also a lot less *perfumey*. It’s nice but I think I prefer my rose/patch concoctions which makes the rose something more than just rose. <3

This is the first Montale I’ve tested properly, and I have to say I’m not wild about it; I’m not surprised to see this isn’t one of their more popular fragrances. I’d ordered a decant in a a sale on a whim, thinking it would be a safe bet for me with a name like that, but I was wrong, or maybe the name is just misleading, as jdokicfan suggests. Candy and roses are hardly the dominant scent components here, at least in the first phases which are by far the strongest; I would suggest “musky fruit and patchouli” as a more accurate description myself.
The opening especially really isn’t my thing. Sure, there’s a lovely fresh rose hiding somewhere in there, but this is overpowered entirely by a vaguely fruity, rather synthetic, “perfumey” kind of smell, a bit like hairspray but muskier and with a hefty dose of patchouli. Maybe it’s just not working with my skin chemistry, but this really does nothing for me.
It does get a lot better in the drydown, when the scent calms down a lot and the name starts to make some more sense: the roses do come out more, and there’s a subtle, soft sweetness to the composition that’s actually a very nice interpretation of “candy”. It’s just too bad that the scent is also a lot weaker by then, having retreated very close to the skin.
So although the drydown is very nice, I don’t think it quite makes up for the vaguely unpleasant opening, especially not considering the high price. I have a couple other Montale decants coming my way, and I’m really hoping this one isn’t representative for the line as a whole!

I have recently been sampling Candy Rose as well as Roses Musk and initially i thought that the one i’d love most would be Candy Rose, when in fact Roses Musk Trumped this one for me.
Unfortunately this one is extremely disappointing and boring, especially for Montale! I don’t think that Candy Rose is quite an appropriate name for this fragrance either, maybe Fruity Rose (even though it sounds bad it gives a more appropriate name to the smell).
It is Rose at the front with fruits behind giving it more depth but it is nothing original, spectacular or interesting. This fragrance does not smell like it would have such an expensive price tag and personally for me doesn’t live up to the Montale name.
Very underwhelming. Don’t get me wrong it’s nice but i wouldn’t want to pay the expensive price for this when there are so many other beauties i can wear.
Sillage and longevity were quite average on me too for this one.

Montale perfumes are inspired, mostly in the Orient. In addition, like all good niche perfume, cherishes by the use of natural and high quality ingredients.
Although much of its fame comes from the line of fragrances created over the AOUD (or OUD – from the Agarwood), there are over 90 Montale fragrances and all of them are wonderful.
Candy Rose is the type of scent that I dare call “tropical perfume”. Contains notes of raspberry, black currant, lychee and blood orange, in the output. In the heart, patchouli leaves, Lily of the Valley and rose. Finally, brings notes of vanilla and white musk in its base.
Once sprayed on the skin, the frutal tone arises, dancing between the bitter and the sweet, refreshing and juicy. A delight! Then, a delicate rose touches the skin and there it remains, with softness and extreme femininity. So, after about 40 minutes, the musk introduces its cleansing nuance, leaving that soapy aspect, almost burnt, but creamy, along with the touch of vanilla.
This is a perfume of little evolution, whose rose is the main attraction and the seduction is present all the time. In addition to exude a lot, it lasts for more than 10 hours on the skin.I find it very suitable for warmer places and daytime use.
For those who like this kind of fragrance, here is a beautiful creation.

Delicious, crunchy fruity rose, a sort of Montale hosting a birthday party for his 14 year old niece. This is not a critique: it’s a way of describing a Montale that is realy original for being a Montale, which lays down the seductive weapons of Oud, Musk and Amber to get off his hat a cheerful, joyful and fruity fragrance that works both for the young girls and their mothers, if they are festive, spring-like people.
I adore it.

This fragrance rather smells fruity notes with a hint of vanilla than any roses. Too simple for this brand. Smells like a cheap even not luxe, but mass-market rather than deluxe.
Disappointed(

I had high hope for this one . montales normaly sticks out and show there unikness , but this is not the case With this one.
Its fresh rosy With a hint of blackurrant,lychee ,Orange flowers and patcholie and yes. there is some similaritys to Coutour Coutour.
To me dry Down is very much like Montales Roses Musk. this kind of musk saddly dont work so well on my skin .
I Guess this will be a great perfume for thouse who dont want to stand out to much. It is lovely and Nice yes , but thats it. To me no uniknes or special apeal found in this one
On my skin this lasts about 4-5 hours

This scent smells very familiar, broadly speaking it smells similar to a lot of the fruity rose fumes with dash of patchouli & bergamot combos out there, slightly masculine not all the way feminine, sits very much in the middle for unisex. Its got a fresh greeness with the fruity, slightly juicy, can get a little sharp notes of jasmine, bergamot in the opening, the sweetness of Lychee, but Rose in this is way in the back. This does not smell like a Montale creation, daresay it smells a tad synthetic. I would think if testing this blind it was a new MJ’s “Daisy” or a new “Juicy Couture”. The dry down is lovely soft and the opening harshness disappears. Try before buy!
