Prada Heat Wave is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Daniela Andrier. Heat Wave opens with Lemon and Artemisia, settles into a heart of Night Blooming Cereus, Jasmine, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Vanilla, Benzoin, and Coconut. Prada's Heat Wave carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Divisive yet undeniably beautiful, Heat Wave offers a sophisticated take on tropical florals. Some find it a creamy, elegant summer dream, others a sharp, overly jasmine-centric miss. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but those who love it are absolutely smitten.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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

Heat Wave opens with a bright, zesty lemon cutting through the herbal freshness of artemisia, setting a clean, almost sharp initial tone. This quickly softens into a lush, creamy heart where night-blooming cereus, jasmine, and ylang-ylang intertwine, creating a rich, intoxicating floral bouquet. As it settles, a warm, sensual base emerges, blending smooth vanilla and benzoin with a realistic, non-suntan-lotion coconut, culminating in an elegant, sun-drenched skin aroma.
