Candid foi um perfume muito marcante em minha juventude. Gostaria de adquirir um frasco, mas me parece muito complicado importá-lo. Aqui no Brasil não se consegue comprá-lo?

I bought this recently for kicks, thinking it would feel nostalgic to smell this 70's classic again. It does take me back, but beyond that, I'm surprised how much I like it. I keep coming back to it. As you can see from the notes, Candid is warm, a little spicy, a tiny bit floral. It's slightly sweet but not too much so (I dislike sweet scents). I think the sweetness may vary with skin chemistry. Candid is not complex, but it's nicely balanced and is one of the most enjoyably *warm* scents I've worn. I like that it has incense undertones but isn't at all harsh.

i had this back in the day and i liked it. it smells different to me now. then it was a crisp, yet spicy blend. warm, with a little tinge of jasmine. i liked it as an everyday scent. its just not the same, it's stronger and cheap smelling. the dry down is different to me too, turns too powdery.

I have the cologne and the Scented Skin Softner in the little red tub. For some reason Candid smells a little spicy on me. Apply the Skin Softner while your pores are still open after your bath and then the cologne. If you wait until your pores are totally closed, the Skin Softner smells too much like Ponds Cold Cream. Applied correctly, these two very economical items make for very soft fragrant skin.

I remember liking Candid. A friend, deceased at a relatively young age, said that Candid was the only fragrance that didn't give her a headache. It was her signature. Always think of her when I see a picture or think of the scent.

the vetiver ruins this for me.
i will give it a couple more tries.
but if you don't like vetiver, don't bother with this one.
if you DO like vetiver, you might surprise yourself by liking an avon scent.

I remember having Candid back in the seventies, it was one of the better ones Avon had back then. It always reminded me of Jontue somehow, maybe the tuberose note in both. I think Avon followed the current trends and Jontue was the one for young ladies then. Candid has more spice to it and was not as sweet so it seemed more grown up. It's still around and people still like it so it's worth checking out.

I love Candid. I've tried a lot of fragrances and can't wear many of them because they give me headaches. The more expensive perfumes are even worse in that regard. But Candid never bothers my or my husband's allergies. This is a warm scent, and not at all powdery! I don't like powdery scents. Candid has a nice balance of warm, spicy, floral, and sweet -- not too much of any of those, but just right. A reviewer at Avon said it smells a little like Nag Champa incense. It does, a little! But it's also feminine and sweet.

Candid is not a bad scent (powdery), Im not to crazy about Avon perfumes-they are typically not my cup of tea. I just can't put my finger on what it is about avon perfumes that make stay away. The only scent they ever produced that I ever liked was Charisma, a sharp green and I like sharp greens but I don't ware it though either.

I remember Candid from when I was a teen in the 70's. I remember I liked it then and can understand why now. I now wear Red Door alot, and saw another reviewer say they were similar. I am also learning more about perfumes and their notes.

Oh dear....this stuff should be named M I G R A I N E!!! That is all I can remember from smelling it many, many years ago...the horrific headache it gave me. I hope I never cross paths with it again.

this fragrance reminds me of red door by arden, even though red door came out almost 20 years later. This is lighter and cheaper, so if you like that kind of classic and traditional scent, you will enjoy candid.

Eu ganhei um frasco desse perfume só que com a tampa dourada. O fixador é muito bom pois uso pela manhã e à noite ainda sinto seu perfume. Quero comprar aqui no Brasil mas não consigo.

I remember this from when I was little, my Mom had it. I remember it being sweet and not too over-bearing. She had this and Timeless, and I thought this was much better.
