Prada Candy Gloss is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Daniela Andrier. Candy Gloss opens with Sour Cherry and Redcurrant Leaf, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, and Peach, and dries down to a base of Musk, Heliotrope, Vanilla, and Almond. Prada's Candy Gloss carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This perfume is a divisive one - a love-it-or-hate-it cherry bomb. Some find it a delightful, playful, sweet cherry, whilst others recoil at its artificial, cough syrup-like opening. Expect a youthful, girly sweetness that fades quickly.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Its sweet, playful nature and limited longevity make it a fantastic choice for casual outings and dates, but less suited for formal events. While some find it 'inoffensive' for the office, its distinct, strong opening might be too much for conservative work environments.

About

Prada Candy Gloss bursts open with a bright, tart sour cherry and the green tang of redcurrant leaf, evolving quickly into a succulent heart of juicy peach and soft rose, brightened by orange blossom. The dry down mellows into a creamy almond and heliotrope powderiness, underscored by soft vanilla and a hint of musk, creating a 'cherry bakewell' or 'waxy lipstick' cosmetic feel.
