The take

What works

  • Jasmine-neroli-sandalwood trio is clean, modern, and easy to love
  • Genuinely four-season versatility
  • Prada's most successful new feminine launch in years

Trade-offs

  • The 'infinite floral' concept is cleaner than it is complex
  • Pleasant but not particularly daring for the price
