But it seems more and more fruit are the main notes instead of using them to enhance something.

Imagine if vetiver came first, beefed up by sandalwood; the bergamot, orange blossom and honeysuckle filled in the middle while the base notes lingered on; and the fruit was just the freshest, cleanest counterpoint to the rest. Of course, the result would make the average Candies purchaser drop the tester in shock, but you see my point. I am finally understand niche, and there is NO going back.

If the fruits don't over power the flowers and base notes, it actually sounds like a nice mixture. But apparently fruit is a requirement for mainstream fragrances these days. Cosmopolitan? That must mean cherry, sigh. The *Luxe* must stand for "Look kids we've added even more fruit!" double sigh :( -Becca Hate the name and the fruits.

When brands like hermes or comme des garcons launch luxury fragrances I can totally understand it, and it has it's reasons. But Candie's? What's next? Victorias Secret special luxe pink? Maybe Britney Spear's luxe fantasy? Oh my god, everyone, every single brand is trying to go for that magical word: LUXE.
