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 - 345 Prada Candy EDP
345 delivers Prada Candy's signature caramel-benzoin gourmand honestly, but it is noticeably lighter and shorter-lived than the designer original.

Its intimate sillage and clean, powdery nature make it appropriate for office and casual wear, as it won't offend those in close quarters.
