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'.
368 goes straight for Prada Candy's caramel-vanilla gourmand core, and the sweetness lands well, but it misses the original's musk-powder texture that keeps Candy from tipping into pure sugar. Sweet, cozy, and fun, if simpler and shorter-lived.

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.

A cozy caramel-vanilla gourmand that suits cooler months best, though it can work year-round for sweet-scent fans.
