For instance, the popular Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 has a cotton candy-like sweetness with a supporting note of saffron. Calvin Klein Reveal is another option with a sweet and aromatic scent. For a cheaper alternative, Body Fantasies' Cotton Candy delivers a sugar high with hints of strawberry and synthetic candied grape.
