Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Candy EDP
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'.
Favourite
Our Verdict - 018 Candy EDP
No. 018 leans into Prada Candy's caramel-musk-benzoin gourmand core, matching the basic sweet-powdery shape but with a thinner, more one-note caramel opening that fades to a simpler musk far sooner than the original's richer, more textured dry-down.

Its intimate sillage and clean, powdery nature make it appropriate for office and casual wear, as it won't offend those in close quarters. However, its perceived lack of projection by many users hinders its suitability for more impactful occasions like formal events or dates where a stronger presence is desired.
