Prada Candy is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Daniela Andrier. Candy opens with Caramel, settles into a heart of Musk and Powdery, and dries down to a base of Vanilla and Benzoin. Prada's Candy carries a Favourite verdict, a caramel-led wear.

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'.

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

About

Prada Candy opens with a brief, sometimes elusive, whisper of caramel before diving headfirst into a plush, powdery heart. Soft musks intertwine, conjuring images of vintage cosmetics or delicate baby powder. This evolves into a warm, balsamic drydown where vanilla and benzoin provide a creamy, almost resinous sweetness that lingers close to the skin, creating an intimate, cozy aura.
