Candela Peña knows very well the details of the success that ‘El Caso Asunta’ is achieving on Netflix: “In 44 countries we are in the top 5. In 64, in the top 10, and we are the most watched Spanish-speaking series on the planet” . This is how this actress presents her latest work that receives so much applause for her interpretation of Rosario Porto. If a few days ago she revealed the economic problems she faced by asking for a bizum to pay for the electricity, now she has the key to becoming a millionaire: “Having a perfume.”
This is what Peña confessed in ‘Late Xou con Marc Giró’ on RTVE. “I think that I have already shown that I am a good actress, or that I work hard at it, and I want to make money from something and I would like to have a perfume,” she explains. The reason? David Bustamante. The actress relates that she listened to the singer “when she said that where she got the most money from was in her neighborhood.”
He jokes with the presenter by stating that “I even wrote to the Puigs to find out if they offered courses and they told me that they don’t give classes.” From there she went to the Perfume Academy in Madrid “and now I have to do the nose tests to know how to distinguish the smells.” She still doesn’t have a name in mind, but she is clear that it would be “very pretty” and that she is more of “patchoulism and sandalwood” and little sweet or “vanilla.”
Candela Peña’s economic problems
Candela Peña now jokes with the followers of ‘El Caso Asunta’ who tell her that they discovered her in ‘La Resistencia’ or ‘Hierro’ “and I’m older than that”… She has been in the world of acting for many years now but that It has not been guaranteed a good financial cushion. “You don’t eat prizes,” she has said on more than one occasion. So much so that in another of the interviews that she is doing these days after the premiere of the Netflix series she confessed that at some point she had to ask a friend for a bizum “to pay for the electricity.”
Bustamante and the business of his colonies
With three Goya statuettes on her shelves, Candela Peña does not forget the words of David Bustamante. On a visit to El Hormiguero she acknowledged that her perfumes “sell a lot, I stock up on them all year round.” On previous occasions he did not even know how many colognes he had on the market, but this time he assured that “I just released number 10, it is called Mío Power. In addition, he confessed that “the only secret is that I make the perfumes, I go to the laboratory. “They send me tests and I’m the one who says how it should smell.”
Puig and the success of perfumes
The Bustamante colonies are part of the extensive Puig family, which went public a week ago. That is why Candela Peña would have called this family business to carve out a niche in a market that continued to generate income for Bustamante during the pandemic despite the music stoppage due to the coronavirus.
