Formal events in Malaysia never really take a break — weddings, annual dinners, engagement ceremonies, company functions. If you're after a Grandeur perfume with rose in it for occasions like these, two options stand out: Candy Rose and Shooting Stars City. Both come as 100ml EDPs and both have rose in their notes, but they're quite different scents. Let's go through them.
Candy Rose by Grandeur
Candy Rose is a 100ml Eau de Parfum made for women. Its fragrance family is floral, sweet and vanilla, so if you like scents on the softer, romantic side, this one's built for you.
It opens with rose and red berries, moves into a heart of jasmine, caramel and vanilla, and settles on a base of musk and amber. So you get the rose right at the start, then it turns sweeter and warmer as it develops.
- Concentration: EDP
- Size: 100ml
- Fragrance family: Floral • Sweet • Vanilla
- Notes: rose, red berries, jasmine, caramel, vanilla, musk, amber
The store lists its occasions as everyday wear and special occasions, so it isn't only for big events. If you've got a dinner or a wedding coming up and you want something feminine and sweet rather than heavy, Candy Rose fits that brief.
Shooting Stars City by Grandeur Elite
Shooting Stars City is the unisex option — it's made for men and women, so it works if you and your partner want to share a bottle, or if you simply prefer scents that aren't strictly feminine.
It opens with bergamot, saffron and mandarin, which gives it a spicier, brighter start than Candy Rose. The heart brings rose, patchouli and amber, and the base is musk, vanilla and sandalwood. The rose is still there, but it sits deeper in the blend, surrounded by woody and warm notes.
- Concentration: EDP
- Size: 100ml
- Notes: bergamot, saffron, mandarin, rose, patchouli, amber, musk, vanilla, sandalwood
Its listed occasion is special occasions, so this is the one aimed squarely at events rather than daily wear. For a formal evening function in our warm Malaysian weather, that citrus and saffron opening keeps things fresh before the deeper notes come through.
Which one for your formal event?
Both are 100ml EDPs with rose inside, so the choice really comes down to the mood you want:
- Pick Candy Rose if you want something sweet, floral and vanilla-forward, and it's for a woman. It doubles as an everyday scent too.
- Pick Shooting Stars City if you want a unisex scent with a spicier opening and a warmer, sandalwood base, and you're dressing it for special occasions.
One last thing about wearing these in Malaysia — the heat and humidity can make heavy scents feel overwhelming indoors, and event halls and malls are usually air-conditioned. Both of these have bright opening notes, which helps in that kind of environment. Try them on skin before the big day so you know how each one behaves on you.
