Ascendant EDP

Which Should You Buy?
This flanker is an intriguing diversion from the original 'Carbon', sparking fierce debate among fans. Expect a love-it-or-hate-it response to its prominent licorice, but don't knock it 'til you've tried it - it's a bold departure for Prada.
Ascendant is a subtly sensual, clean vanilla scent that leaves many wanting more. It's a proper compliment-getter, but its poor performance means the magic often fades long before the night is over. A real 'love it or hate it' scent.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its excellent longevity and strong projection make it perfect for date nights and special occasions where you want to make an impression. While too heavy for sports or hot weather, it's refined enough for office wear with a light hand, and sophisticated for casual outings beyond super-hot days.
Seasons
A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.
Occasions
Its subtle nature and poor projection make it ideal for close encounters like dates or casual wear, where others will only catch whiffs up close. The lack of intensity means it's also office-friendly, but its vanilla sweetness isn't suited to formal events or sports.
