Prada
Candy EDP
2011
“Champagne and caramel in a velvet room — indulgent, intentional, entirely unapologetic.”

The take
What works
- ●Caramel-benzoin accord is plush and addictive without the headache-sweet trap
- ●Benzyl salicylate gives floral transparency that elevates it
- ●Outstanding cold-weather and evening longevity
Trade-offs
- ●One-season fragrance — strictly autumn-winter
- ●Candy-adjacent profile isn't for those who prefer fresh or green
