Sweet Perfumes for Halloween

Halloween is only a week away (October 31st) and we chose three sweet perfumes that remind us of candy or rich, delicious desserts. Because what’s Halloween without olfactive treats?

Steven Gavrielatos of Redolessence and Michelyn Camen, Editor-in-Chief of ÇaFleureBon co-curated the sweet perfumes edition. (Be sure to check out Part 1 here on Spooky Fragrances).

Prada Candy (Daniela Andrier) 2011: Is there a better name for a Halloween perfume than “candy”? Prada Candy made our sweet perfumes for Halloween list, because it is pure scented pleasure.  Michelyn bought her first bottle in late 2011 and it smells as scrumptious as it did 13 years ago (there are quite a few niche perfumes that have been influenced or copied, not naming names) by this great iconic perfume that has an overdose of benzoin and with notes of vanilla, musk, honey and caramel. –Michelyn 

Roja Parfums Sweetie Aoud (Roja Dove) 2015: On October 22, 2018, I met Roja Dove at Bergdorf Goodman. After our discussion, I browsed the counter and noticed Sweetie Aoud. When I sprayed on Roja Dove’s twist on an oud gourmand perfume with its macaron accord and delicious buttery tone, I wanted to lick my wrist. –Michelyn 

Parfums de Marly Oriana (Nathalie Lorson and Hamid Merati-Kashan) 2021: If you think sweet perfumes are for teens, you need to try sophisticated Oriana. This will be my fragrance for Halloween. Chantilly cream, which at the time of its 2021 release, according to Master Perfumer Nathalie Lorson, was combined with marshmallow for the first time. The Whipped Chantilly cream and marshmallow set off  the finest quality orange blossom. The soft musk and ambrette at the base give Oriana power and longevity. If you love sweet perfumes that are grown-up and sensuous, go  Oriana is for you. –Michelyn

    Michelyn is right: Prada Candy would be the quintessential Halloween scent in name alone, it’s sweet and alluring and Oriana has that refined yet sweet and sophisticated air to it. I definitely agree with Steve that Prada Candy was a steppingstone for perfumes that followed with its scent profile and that Oriana has been a major deviation for Parfums de Marly with its note and sweetness Profile. Roja’s Sweetie Aoud also has that creamy sweetness they both loved, but macaroon is not my favorite.

    Oh my goodness. Each of these gourmands sound like a wonderful treat…especially for Halloween. The buttery macaroon accord in Roja’s Sweetie Aoud, the sugary caramel vibe in Prada Candy, and the marshmallowy goodness of PDM’s Orianna each are calling my name repeatedly. So Scrumptious!

    I absolutely love sweet perfumes and gourmands are my favorite category. Prada Candy I was familiar with and that’s been around for a while but didn’t know this was a deviation for the Prada line at the time of its release. I own Roja’s Sweetie Aoud and each time I wear it, I too want to lick my wrist or wherever I put it on, a truly realistic macaroon fragrance, a revolutionary release ahead of its time. Oriana has now become an iconic Marly fragrance and that hot pink bottle tells you everything you need to know about it: marshmallow, sweet, candied and creamy. I have sampled Oriana before and truly like Steven mentioned, it is nuclear. I follow @cafleurebonofficial on IG and my username is Ramses.d.perez. I’m located in the USA.

  • LaithSD says:

    I agree with Michelyn on the Roja, it is one of the most buttery scents I have ever tried.. It is very very creamy. I also found Steven’s comment on Oriana’s sweetness being beyond the sweetness of any other female PDM fragrance to be very interesting, given that I have never tired female PDMs!

    Great picks and wonderful article/video. Steven hit it right on the head for me, Infusion D’Iris is my go to clean, soapy scent. However Prada Candy is a 180, it gets very caramel-ly and powdery/musky (as Michelyn mentioned) so I can see it working in fall. The buttery notes Michelyn described in Sweetie Aoud sounds like it would make a good cozy/comfort scent when the weather cools down. The Orange Blossom and Mandarin of Oriana do scream spring/summer, her creaminess and amber notes Michelyn highlighted really do make her welcome for fall. Steven is right the fall cozy vibes really hit with Oriana.

    I love how this Michelyn really made me appreciate how fragrances can be as fun and indulgent as candy. Prada Candy seems like a classic with its rich caramel and vanilla, but I’m curious about Roja Parfums Sweetie Aoud because of its unique blend of oud and a macaron accord—sounds deliciously unexpected! Oriana feels like a sophisticated choice, balancing marshmallow and Chantilly cream with orange blossom (I already love this one but don’t own it). It’s exciting to see sweet scents elevated for adults, perfect for Halloween and beyond. And Steven is like our fragrance bff! I love the enthusiasm and sincerity behind his review. He definitely made me want to try the Roja fragrance with that macaron accord!!!

    Love all these “Sweet” fragrance treats. I’m a fan of Parfums de Marly and I’m interested in checking out Oriana. I have yet to smell a fragrance with a marshmallow accord. Steven also mentioned there’s caramel in this so I’m super interested, I’m a gourmand fan.

    OMG!! These smell so good. I just went to the mall and smelled all three. As a man I love all fragrances no matter if it’s more feminine leaning. I wear it confidently.

  • Brendan Thompson says:

    I would be so excited to try another PDM after falling in love with Althair my new goal is to try them all! Thanks so much keep up the great work.
