Maison Alhambra
So Candid
So Candid may appeal for the orange blossom, tuberose and jasmine it shares with So Scandal! Its milky finish also follows a similar creamy direction. The available description puts less emphasis on the original's raspberry accent, but doesn't establish a clear difference in the drydown on skin.
