Candy Crush is where I write about scent-related things that I’m currently obsessed with.

So, remember last week when I revealed that CHANEL is celebrating the centenary of Nº5 with FACTORY 5, a collection of limited edition products? Well, there is more! Whilst I shared with you five of the star products, there is actually a total of 17. You can head over to CHANEL’s website and check out the full range by clicking here (I have the paint tin of shower gel and the Nº5 water bottle in my sights), but today I want to talk to you about the pop up CHANEL FACTORY 5 experiences that will soon be appearing around the world, and specifically here in the UK at Selfridge’s Corner Shop, London.


Wow! Well, I never thought I’d be writing this post when I started The Candy Perfume Boy way back in July 2011, but here we are, 10 years on! Boy have things changed. I’m a lot older (and thicker around the waist) than I was back then and whilst I was somewhat of a timid writer back then, I feel like I’m much more confident now. The Candy Perfume Boy and I have been on quite a journey over the last 10 years – a voyage of over 1,000 blog posts, many perfumes, and five Jasmine Awards. But today we do not dwell on such things!
