Prada Candy EDP

Description

Prada Candy is caramel wrapped in powdery musk and warm benzoin, a gourmand that feels more polished than its name suggests. Composed by Daniela Andrier, Prada's in-house perfumer, and launched in 2011, it opens directly on caramel, then softens into powdery notes and musk before settling on benzoin and vanilla. The benzoin is the key: it gives the sweetness a resinous, slightly smoky warmth, so Candy reads grown-up and cozy rather than sugary.

Fragrance Pyramid

• Top: Caramel
• Heart: Powdery Notes, Musk
• Base: Benzoin, Vanilla

Performance

Longevity: Good; the benzoin and musk base clings well, especially to clothing.
Sillage: Moderate, a warm sweet aura.
Projection: Arm's length for the first couple of hours, then a close, powdery skin scent.

An honest note: results vary with skin. Some wearers find the caramel fades early and the powdery musk lingers. A sample is the easiest way to see how it wears on you.

Best Occasions & Season

Best in Fall and Winter, for evenings, dates and special occasions, and for cozy days when you want something comforting. Marketed for women. Skip it in high summer heat, when caramel and benzoin can feel heavy.
