Maison Alhambra So Candid

Maison Alhambra So Candid reveals the purity of white florals balanced by a creamy milk accord. It opens with bright orange blossom, moves into rich tuberose and jasmine, and settles into a velvety, comforting base. It’s a blast of sweet, bubblegummy Tuberose from the very first spray. This isn’t a subtle, green floral; it’s a loud, proud, and playful white floral with an almost candy-like sweetness. Underneath that powerful tuberose is a creamy, lactonic Milk note that smooths out the scent and makes it incredibly addictive and unique. It’s a different kind of sweetness than the pretty, fresh floral of Gusta; So Candid is much louder and more gourmand.

This is a powerful fragrance with huge projection and very strong longevity, easily lasting 7-8+ hours. Its ability to fill a room is on par with other titans like Infini Rose, but where Infini Rose is bold and romantic, So Candid is bold, flirty, and fun. However, for an evening out to a party, club, or dinner in an air-conditioned space, it’s absolutely perfect. It is the polar opposite of a clean, professional daytime scent like Alive Now.

is this a mature scent? No, its character leans youthful and playful due to its extreme sweetness and that distinct “bubblegum” vibe. Only if you know for a fact that you love extremely sweet, tuberose-heavy, and loud “party” fragrances. If that’s your style, you will adore this.
