When Prada released their Candy fragrance collection, their aim was to ensure a jolt to the system. It’s safe to say that they have succeeded with these extreme feminine fragrances. Each act as a reminder that life is far too short to be confined by rules. The only limits are the ones we impose on ourselves.
Coming up are 6 of the best Prada Candy Perfumes that require your instant attention. Immersing yourself in one or more of these wild and flirtatious fragrances should be your high on your ‘guilty-pleasure’ fragrance to-do list.
The Prada Candy Collection
The Prada Candy collection takes you on a journey of the extreme. Not just a generic ‘default’ fragrance for a lost teenage generation. Candy transcends age and releases the untamed 60s wild-child lurking inside all of us.
Blending notes that are striking, bold and unpredictable, each fragrance in the Candy collection is an eclectic blend. Sweet caramels and chocolate notes cavort unashamedly with deeper, more sophisticated notes.
6 Best Prada Candy Perfumes
Here are 6 of the best Prada Candy perfumes to release your inner wild-child whilst still keeping your dignity and overall sophistication! Each of these fabulous fragrances envelops the wearer in sumptuous sweet notes that combine with the more traditional.
1. Prada Candy
Review
Prada Candy Eau De Parfum is a heavenly, warming, sweet yet powdery creation that leaves you wanting more. Far deeper and more complex than you may be expecting.
Opens softly with delicious caramel and powdery notes. The smooth and sultry sweetness of benzoin soon appears and is ever-present. Finally, upon dry-down, Candy reveals a darker side of musk and what I felt was spiced vanilla. As time passes, Candy becomes warmer, almost spicy but still keeping the creamy sweetness of caramel.
Although I tend to place sweeter fragrances in the spring/summer camp, the musk and benzoin of Prada Candy make this autumn/winter. Gave me the feeling of going out to fun parties as the nights draw in.
Performance is not what you would expect from an EDP. I found longevity on skin was 3-4 hours.
Presented in a striking bottle shape that gives an orange glow, combines with a pink coloured band with the Prada logo in gold lettering.
Summary:
A stunning combination of warming caramel, benzoin and musk. Prada Candy is sexy, smooth and sensual.

2. Prada Candy Night
Review
Prada Candy Night Eau De Parfum is mysterious, sensual and (dare I say) far more seductive than the original Candy EDP Eau De Parfum.
Opens with deep and powdery chocolate orange notes. The chocolate is darker and more refined than I expected. Sweet and soothing caramel, mild florals and musk soften things to create a more sophisticated experience. Finally, a warm yet powdery vibe at dry-down adds something special and intimate.
If you are testing for the first time, smelling on paper will not do this fragrance justice. It will only smell of sweet chocolate. Apply to skin and give it 20 minutes to enjoy the entire experience
As for when to wear; this has autumn/winter nights clearly written in its DNA.
Medium lasting fragrance at 4+ hours on skin, and longer on clothes.
My favourite bottle of the collection. Presented in a striking bottle shape that gives a pink/purple glow, combines with a black band with the Prada logo in gold lettering.
Summary:
A beautiful blend of spicy chocolate orange notes, warming caramel, on a vanilla and musk base. Prada Candy Night is electric.

3. Prada Candy Florale
Review
Prada Candy Florale is the third incarnation from the Prada Candy collection. A delicate light & fresh, floral fragrance that is both sensual and refined.
It opens with a sweet lemon note, almost sorbet-like. Soft and delicate florals soon appear to balance what could have been an overly sugar-sweet lemon affair. Honey and soothing caramel combine with musk to ensure you are left with a dreamy base for the top notes to dance in and out of.
Beautifully blended. Transported me to a perfect summer’s day with hits of citrus. floral, and slight sweetness. Delicious and refreshing.
Clearly perfect for those sunny spring and summer afternoons whilst you are enjoying the sunshine without a care in the world.
Long-lasting fragrance at 6+ hours on skin thanks to the honey and musk notes.
Feminine bottle design that gives a light pink glow, combines with a deeper pink band with the Prada logo in gold lettering. A white cap completes the look.
Summary:
A delightfully fresh and floral fragrance that has a sweet honey base. A romantic daytime fragrance that puts a spring in your step and a smile on your face.

Top Notes:
Limoncello
Mid Notes:
Peony

4. Prada Candy Sugar Pop
Review
Don’t believe the marketing of this fragrance. I was expecting sickly sweet teenagers fragrance. This is fun, yet refined and leans towards a fruity/citrus vibe
Opening with delicate fruity apple notes and the zing of citrus from fresh bergamot. Sweetness is delivered by notes of light peach and dreamy caramel. Vanilla is ever-present and adds to the complexity.
Upon dry-down, rich caramel and fruity apple notes are most prominent.
A very easy-to-wear fragrance that is fun yet refined at the same time. Perfect for spring & summer, but leaned towards more of a daytime fragrance.
Medium lasting fragrance at 4+ hours on skin, and longer on clothes.
Eye-opening bottle shape that gives a feminine light pink glow, combines with a white band with the Prada logo in gold lettering. Clear light blue cap.
Summary:
A surprisingly citrus/fruity fragrance that was less sweet than the name lets on. Fun, fast and fresh.

Top Notes:
Bergamot, Apple
Mid Notes:
Peach, Floral Notes
Base Notes:
Vanilla, Caramel

5. Prada Candy Kiss
Review
One of the more unusual fragrances in the Prada Candy line. Focusing primarily on a single note, musk. Prada Candy Kiss Eau De Parfum is a soft and gentle experience to discreetly delight the senses.
Prada Candy Kiss opens with a soft blend of clean musk that is almost cotton-like. Then gently eases towards light notes of orange blossom and powdery vanilla. The musk combined with orange blossom is delightful as it is beautiful and creates a carefree feeling that is perfect for any age.
I felt Prada Candy Kiss makes a beautiful every-day all-year fragrance. Perfect for any season. It does lean more towards being a daytime fragrance rather than all dressed up for going out.
Medium lasting fragrance at 4+ hours on skin.
Clean bottle design that follows the Candy collection. Clear parfum combines with a white band with the Prada logo in gold lettering. White cap finishes the look.
Summary:
An uncomplicated and carefree musky/floral fragrance that gives away light orange blossom notes. Far more sensual and sophisticated than I expected.
Longevity:
Season:
Top Notes:
orange blossom
Mid Notes:
musk
Base Notes:
vanilla

6. Prada Candy Gloss
Review
Prada Candy Gloss is an explosion of youthful feeling femininity in the guise of sweet cherry. The exciting thing is you don’t need to be young to wear this fragrance.
This fragrance opens with a nuclear blast of cherry sweetness. This soon settles down to reveal sweet notes of almond and vanilla. The dry-down is both fruity and gentle with soft powdery notes. I love the almond/nutty notes and cheeky florals than emerge from time to time to keep the prominent cherry notes spinning.
Certainly is sophisticated enough for any age group. What’s more, is that I found it took me back on a nostalgic journey to my youth of enjoying cherry ice lollies whilst playing hopscotch. Can you put a price in that feeling?
For me, this was spring/summer. Only medium-lasting fragrance at 3 – 4 hours, then turned into a skin scent. But look on the bright side, you can enjoy topping it up!
Striking bottle design that follows the Candy collection. The deep pink base combines with a matching deep pink band with the Prada logo in gold lettering. The deep pink cap completed the look.
Summary:
A joyous and unique feminine fragrance that oozes cherry, almond and vanilla. Completely irresistible and will have you coming back for more.
Longevity:

Top Notes:
Cherry
Mid Notes:
Orange Blossom, Rose, Peach
Base Notes:
