Prada Candy Review: My Overall Opinion
Prada Candy has a very interesting smell, characterized by a rich and gourmand caramel note with vanilla, benzoin, musk and powdery notes. This blend of notes gives the perfume a sensation of softness with sugary sweetness from the vanilla and caramel accords. This mix of ingredients turns the fragrance into a perfect scent to use around someone you wanna impress or during casual moments with friends.
In our Prada Candy review, we´ll delve into the most important aspects of the fragrance, discussing the scent, longevity, projection, versatility, and price. Join us on this detailed analysis of Prada Candy and enjoy the reading!
Scent
Prada candy is known for its delightful smell of sweet caramel. By consequence, the fragrance is considered a caramel vanilla gourmand perfume, with the main notes of:
- Top Notes: Musk
- Middle Notes: Caramel and Powdery Notes
- Base Notes: Benzoin and Vanilla
First, the olfactory journey begins with a burst of musk, creating a clean environment. Second, the scent begins to turn into a sugary caramel scent with the join of caramel and powdery notes, making the Prada Candys DNA start to appear. Last, the notes of vanilla and benzoin join the blend, making the fragrance settle down with a caramel vanilla gourmand smell.
Undoubtedly enchanting, Prada Candy is a luscious, sweet, feminine, and cosy fragrance. A perfect combination to use with people you wanna be with.
Longevity
Prada Candy has moderate longevity under most women’s skin, lingering on the skin for around 8 hours. However, some traces of sugary caramel can stay on your body for a few more hours, and tough individual experiences may vary from person to person.
It´s important to acknowledge that the longevity of any fragrance is closely linked to individual skin chemistry. Therefore, results may vary from. We highly recommend purchasing a decant or a travel bottle size or even testing it and experiencing the performance on your skin.
Projection
Prada Candy showcases a low projection, demonstrating it’s not a fragrance to stand out in a crowd not for use for a party, but to use it in casual or intimate moments. Does that mean the perfume won´t cause a good impression? Absolutely not! The scent will project well in a short range around you, creating a pleasant and smelling aura for those close to you.
However, it´s important to mention that performance may vary with seasons. The projection has its shyest version during the winter season, turning it almost into a caramel body spray.
It´s a perfect smell to get cosy! During autumn and spring, the fragrance adopts 2 different behaviours, a clean and gourmand caramel during autumn’s cold temperatures or a youth sugary caramel during the mild temperature of spring. In both versions, the fragrance has its best projection, being perfect for casual moments.
Versatility
Candy Prada emerges as a fragrance for cold and mild temperatures, being perfect for winter, spring, and autumn. This perfume was not crafted to give a single sensation, but to give 3 of them, each one for each season of the year. Except by summer… and you´ll understand why.
The fragrance is perfect for a wide range of occasions, such as: hanging out with friends, cosy moments with your boyfriend/girlfriend, and casual occasions. Its captivating blend of caramel, musk powdery and vanilla notes makes Prada Candy a compliment-getter on different occasions.
During winter, the perfume gets shy with a very low projection, which makes it perfect to use for intimate moments. During autumn it becomes a bit more vivid, showcasing a clean and gourmand scent, ideal to use during hangouts with friends. Despite being crafted for cold weather, Prada Candy can also be used during spring, since your scent becomes more youth with a sugary caramel scent.
The only season which I don´t recommend you to use is summer. The warmer temperatures make the fragrance annoying and instead of being a smelling perfume, it becomes a people-repellent.
Price
Despite being of high quality with rich ingredients, Prada Candy is a very expensive perfume. The fragrance can be found for something around 115€ – 130€ for the 80ml bottle.
Conclusion
With an addictive eye-catching commercial, Prada regained audiences’ attention in 2021 for a 2011 fragrance. And I need to say, this spotlight upgrade was well deserved!
With a distinct blend of notes such as musk, powdery notes, benzoin, caramel, and vanilla, Prada Candy establishes itself as a fragrance for casual and intimate occasions during cold and mild temperatures. Consequently, that makes the fragrance for any woman who wants to be smelled by her partner or cause a good impression during hangouts.
If you love a sugary smell, especially with caramel notes, this is a must-try for you! Its sophisticated scent makes the fragrance one of the best caramel fragrances you can find on the market. If you can pay for Prada’s high-quality perfume, then this option must be on your list!
To conclude our Prada candy review, we´ll give it an Overall Rating of: ⭐⭐⭐⭐(7.2/10)
