About Candies Black EDT
Black EDT comes from Candies. This one is the Eau de Toilette.
Sillage and projection
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Lush Lord of Misrule unisex and Givenchy Gentleman 1974 spread further.
When in the day to wear Black
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its leather side feels cosy and rich after dark.
Candies perfumes worth knowing
The house has 12 perfumes here, led by Vanilla Amber, Berrylicious and Charm.
Best seasons to wear it
The best time of year to wear it is fall and winter. It is less suited to summer. Ranked by season: fall, winter, spring and summer.
Black price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €25. That makes it one of the more affordable picks. It costs less than Initio Parfums Prives Absolute Aphrodisiac.
Longevity on skin
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. As an Eau de Toilette, it is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, so it fades sooner. The Spirit of Dubai Baz unisex lasts longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like patchouli and vanilla are the part that stays longest on the skin.
