Best Candy Festival by Zara Alternatives & Similar Perfumes

A forest oasis shrouded by hazy mists. This fragrance starts with the piney sparkle of lentiscus (Morocco) and olibanum (Somalia). The fresh floral heart of neroli (Morocco) and rose (Morocco) is further enhanced by watery violet leaves (Egypt), reminiscent of cucumber and melon, with woody cedarwood Atlas (Morocco) at the base.

Fantômas was the ruthless and elusive antihero of a series of blockbuster French crime novels in the early 20th century. Sophisticated and sadistic, the villain was a chameleon who always got the better of his enemies. The extrait de parfum named for him follows in his enigmatic footsteps, a smooth, thick melon and cashmeran blend that is simultaneously soothing and sinister. Jelly beans made from plastic? Or the smell of the rubber gloves on the hands about to squeeze the air from your throat? You decide — if you live long enough.

Miréa brings the wearer a delicious dose of Riviera sun. The fruity, musky notes create a classic Molinard moment. A delicious gourmand scent by way of lychee, fressia and vanilla that smells like sophisticated spun-sugar. Miréa is a name with an allegorical allure signalling an olfactory delight; a scent that truly enchants the senses.

Honeydew melon chunked out with orange segments, a squirt of lemon and a sprig of mint. Summery and sharp, this EdP finds its footing with a grounding of cedarwood, vetiver and musk.

Playground conjures the bracing nothing of cold air: crisp, clean, marine. A transparent but present blend of bergamot, jasmine and lily-of-the-valley, lightly fluffed with cashmere wood and musk. Honeydew melon lends its cool sweet flesh to this oceanic fantasy.

Sensual, refined and compelling this fruity rose opens with crisp, succulent green apple blended with spicy pink pepper and lush blackcurrant. A honeyed bouquet of jasmine and tuberose enriches the delectable pink rose for a sophisticated effect. The tenacious golden base of amber, musk and vanilla indulges the floral fruits for a bold and amplified diffusion. 

Sileno or Silenus in Greek  (or faun in Roman) mythology would be a creature of the wild forest – part man part beast. Silenus would accompany and entertain Dionysus in his god’s routines and parties.

The perfume is a sensual but fresh ylang-ylang with a generous crisp spices layer. 

Fruit punch with emphasis on the PUNCH. Scratchy-sweet pineapple joins forces with crisp green apple and rich mango for a tropical explosion. Before the dust settles, soft almond and coconut infuse the floral and woody haze.

With every spritz, Siracusa Cologne serves up a slice of nice. A scrumptious interpretation of lemon meringue pie, this creamy dreamy wonder turns dessert into perfume with the resinous sweetness of benzoin, and the apricotty nuance of osmanthus. Joyful and zesty!

A rampage through a fantasy meadow. Lily-of-the-valley, orange blossom and lavender are crushed underfoot as you run riot across beauty. Lilac and lemon assert themselves in the carnage. Tonka bean and white musk ensures that this extrait strength perfume stays and plays.
