Inspired Oil Perfumes Candy is a perfume oil. Candy opens with Caramel, settles into a heart of Musk and Powdery, and dries down to a base of Vanilla and Benzoin. Inspired Oil Perfumes's Candy carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

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.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Inspired Perfumes' 368 is a straightforward caramel-vanilla gourmand chasing Prada Candy's iconic sweet signature. The caramel opening and vanilla-benzoin base are the easiest parts of Candy to translate into an oil format, and they come through clearly and enjoyably here. What's missing is Prada's musky, powdery texture that runs underneath the sweetness in the original, giving it a softer, almost cosmetic quality that keeps Candy from reading as pure dessert - in this dupe, the musk and powdery notes are present but much fainter, so the caramel and vanilla dominate more than they should. The result is a fun, indulgent, slightly simpler sweet scent that will appeal to Candy fans looking for a cheap daily alternative, though it fades to nothing within a couple of hours where the original's sweetness lingers for most of the day.
