Candy Haze

Candy Haze by The Perfume Connection is a modern interpretation of a fruity gourmand fragrance, bringing sparkling citrus together with juicy berries and a soft warm base.

The opening combines bergamot, mandarin, orange and lemon. Together, these citrus notes create a bright and sunny introduction, balancing the freshness of bergamot and lemon with the softer fruitiness of mandarin and orange.

At the heart, strawberry, raspberry and peach create a juicy and rounded fruit accord. Lily of the valley and jasmine introduce a delicate floral dimension, giving the fruit greater refinement and preventing the composition from becoming simply sweet.

The base becomes warmer and smoother. Vanilla creates a creamy gourmand quality, amber adds warmth and depth, sandalwood provides a soft woody structure and musk gives the fragrance a smooth skin like finish.

The character of Candy Haze lies in its progression from sparkling citrus to juicy fruit and finally to a warm, creamy base. Despite its playful name, the composition has enough floral and woody structure to give the sweetness greater balance.

Candy Haze belongs to The Perfume Connection’s Z Collection, a collection built around contemporary compositions with an individual yet accessible character.

Note Description

Bergamot, mandarin, orange and lemon create the bright citrus opening. Bergamot brings refined freshness, while mandarin and orange provide softer juicy fruit facets. Lemon adds extra sparkle and clarity.

At the heart, strawberry, raspberry and peach create the central fruit accord. Strawberry gives a soft red fruit character, raspberry adds liveliness and peach contributes a rounded, velvety fruitiness. Lily of the valley and jasmine introduce an airy floral contrast.

The base brings warmth and softness. Vanilla adds a creamy gourmand quality, amber provides warmth and depth, sandalwood creates a smooth woody structure and musk gives the composition a soft skin like finish.

The Signature of Candy Haze

The signature of Candy Haze lies in the contrast between sparkling citrus and soft, juicy fruit. Strawberry, raspberry and peach provide the recognisable fruity character, while jasmine and lily of the valley add an elegant floral layer.

The vanilla, amber, sandalwood and musk base gradually makes the fragrance warmer and smoother, allowing the composition to move from freshness into a soft and rounded finish.

What makes Candy Haze so special?

Candy Haze demonstrates how a gourmand fragrance can remain light and luminous. The citrus opening creates freshness, while strawberry, raspberry and peach introduce a juicy softness.

Lily of the valley and jasmine keep the heart airy and floral, while vanilla, amber, sandalwood and musk create a warmer foundation.

Within the Z Collection, Candy Haze is distinguished by its combination of citrus, fruit and soft gourmand facets. The composition moves gradually between different textures, from sparkling and juicy to creamy and warm.

Why Candy Haze is not gendered

Candy Haze is centred around fruit, flowers, citrus and soft woods rather than a traditionally gendered fragrance structure. Strawberry, raspberry and peach create a playful fruity character, while sandalwood, amber and musk add balance and depth.

This combination gives the fragrance versatility, allowing different facets to emerge depending on the wearer and skin.

What our ParfuMaria team thinks of this fragrance

For us, Candy Haze is an appealing choice for anyone who enjoys fruity fragrances with a little more dimension. The opening is fresh and sparkling through the combination of citrus, while strawberry, raspberry and peach make the composition progressively softer and rounder.

We particularly appreciate the balance created by the base. Vanilla and amber add warmth, while sandalwood and musk prevent the composition from becoming simply sweet and fruity. The result is a soft, polished and contemporary fragrance.
