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'.
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.
