Candy by Prada (2011) is the original eau de parfum, built around white musk, benzoin resin, caramel and vanilla. Benzoin is a warm, vanilla-scented resin with a slight incense edge, and with musk it turns caramel into something that smells of warm skin: a sweet perfume you can wear to dinner. Candy Florale, Candy Night and the other flankers are separate.
What Wearers Say
One wearer loves the powdery, musky, slightly caramelized character rather than a literal candy smell.
Another wearer finds the subtle caramel-and-musk scent plain and disappointing.
A different wearer finds it too sweet for their taste.
Great for
Try original Candy EDP if caramel, benzoin and soft powdery musk appeal to you.
Not for
Sample first if you dislike sweet musk or want a particularly forceful, elaborate gourmand.
