Which Should You Buy?
Prada Candy is an absolute enigma, splitting the room right down the middle. For some, it's a buttery, powdery dream - sophisticated, clean, and deeply comforting. For others, it’s a baffling disappointment: weak, synthetic, and inexplicably devoid of anything resembling 'candy'.
A divisive one, this. Prepare for a full-on powdery vanilla musk experience that some find 'divine' and others can't tolerate. It’s either a sensual, cocooning embrace or an overly sweet, cloying mess depending on your skin chemistry and olfactory preferences.
