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'.
This amber-vanilla powerhouse from Francis Kurkdjian is a cult classic; a love-it-or-hate-it scent with a huge following. Despite its divisive nature, Gaultier 2 earned a reputation as a 'sex in a bottle' compliment-getter for good reason.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Gaultier 2's potent sillage and intense amber-vanilla character make it too much for an office setting. It truly shines for dates and evening events, where its warm, seductive nature can be appreciated without overwhelming others. It's too heavy for sport.
