Prada Candy perfume: Temptation in a bottle

Prada Candy is an addictive and modern perfume that has been a best-seller since its launch in 2011. Once you smell the scent, it is clear why it is universally adored. The decadent fragrance immediately appeals to the senses with an explosion of alluring aromas.

White musk blends with benzoin — an Oriental resin — and enticing caramel to create a simple yet winning fragrance recipe. The signature caramel note is instantly recognizable before it melts into an overflow of benzoin that seduces with its sweet balsamic qualities and aromas of honey and vanilla. The fragrance creatively incorporates musk to give extra sensuality to the unconventional perfume. Prada Candy perfume is an iconic gourmand perfume. Gourmand fragrances contain notes that smell edible, and in Prada Candy’s case, it is the intoxicating caramel that really sets the fragrance apart.

Prada Candy perfume is an eccentric fragrance that has a unique edge over other gourmand scents as it succeeds in being addictively sweet without ever being overpowering — rather, a feeling of sweet surrender. The seductive aromas become more intense once sprayed onto the skin, allowing the minimalist fragrance formula to become more alluring when it is warmed by the skin. The scent has excellent longevity and stays with you all day, while its sillage (how far you can smell the scent) is moderate, allowing you to make a noteworthy impression without being overwhelming.   

Prada Candy was created by master perfumer Daniela Andrier under the creative vision of Miuccia Prada. The fragrance is inspired by the idea of an unconventional mindset and a spirit of limitlessness. The scent aims to capture the revolutionary spirit of women, and its extravagant ingredients personify this unwillingness to comprise. The scent’s charm lies in its excess, and while it explores rich raw materials, perfumer Daniela Andrier ensures that the composition remains elegant.  

Prada Candy’s packaging celebrates the perfume’s unique concept of explosive, over-the-top expression, with a shocking pink leather band with gold lettering wrapped around the neck of the bottle. The bold packaging, with its 60’s and pop art inspiration, is an extension of its bold and experimental content: a scent that wants to write new rules for life. If you are looking for a seductive perfume that defies conventions and celebrates creativity, this one is for you!

Prada Candy Kiss EDP experiments with a slight departure from the original, and while it still features the appealing musk and vanilla notes, the caramel is replaced with fresh orange blossom. Musk features prominently in the scent and is included in the top, middle, and base notes, giving the scent a second-skin, cotton-clean smell.

Prada Candy Gloss EDP opens with acid cherry and cassis before blending into a fruity bouquet of peach and orange blossom lifted by hints of rose. The base has the quintessential Prada Candy musk and benzoin with added almond and vanilla. The scent is slightly unusual and perfect if you are looking for a unique signature scent.
