What Is Sweet?

Launched in 2014, it has shaped how mainstream perfumery is understood from Paris counters to Dubai malls. Its Sweet, Cherry, Chocolate, Fruity, Powdery, Musky profile reads effortlessly across cultures, climates, and dress codes.

A delectable and playful gourmand, capturing the essence of candied cherry and cocoa, evoking a sense of innocent indulgence.

Sweet Notes Breakdown

Sweet opens with Cherry, Sugar and Cocoa — an assertive first impression that carries across a room. Give it twenty or thirty minutes and the middle act arrives: Angelica and Iris. What lingers on skin and clothing hours later is the base: Musk, Cashmeran and Cedar.

Strip it back to the bones and the profile reads Sweet, Cherry, Chocolate, Fruity, Powdery, Musky — easy to place and easy to wear.

Performance: Longevity, Sillage & Versatility

Longevity (7/10): Sweet delivers strong longevity for EDP. On most skin types expect 5–8 hours. A midday touch-up is rarely necessary but can extend the experience on special occasions.

Sillage (7/10): Sweet projects as a confident aura, detectable by those nearby. Application to pulse points — wrists, neck, and behind the ears — maximises projection without overwhelming the room.

Versatility (6/10): Sweet is context-aware, performing well across a range of situations without feeling mismatched. It thrives in its intended context but may feel mismatched further outside that sweet spot.

Value (8/10): At around $50, Sweet delivers significantly more than its price tag suggests — one of the better value propositions in its category.
