Perfume Sample Saturday - PRADA CANDY Eau De Parfum

PRADA CANDY 

Is instantly seductive - pure pleasure wrapped in impulsive charm. In an explosion of shocking pink and gold, Prada Candy takes us on a walk on the wild side, showing us a new facet of Prada femininity where more is more and excess is everything.

The pure indulgence and enjoyment of Prada Candy lies in its excess. Prada Candy is a fragrance with a novel olfactory balance combining exceptionally high-quality ingredients in excessive proportions. Magnified by White Musks, noble Benzoin comes together with a modern Caramel accord to give the fragrance a truly unique signature.

My thoughts 

Smooth, sweet and delicately musky. I hadn't read the description before I sprayed and have to say I was expecting a Prada scent to be loud, a real statement perfume. However, Candy is sweet by name and sweet by fragrance. Personally I find this scent to bring out my girly and playful nature rather than my more seductive and sophisticated side. The caramel tones are gorgeously blended with the musk to provide a slight oriental aspect but I found the scent to be so delicate as to be barely detectable on me after an hour which was disappointing. Curiously I did not detect much vanilla from the benzoin at all. Nice but not a stand out scent.

I think this would appeal to a younger female market.

PRADA CANDY Eau De Parfum costs £40 for 30ml
