prada Candy Review

I love, love, LOVE this fragrance. From the moment I sampled it in the duty free shop, I knew it had to be mine, at all costs! My first bottle was a (requested) gift, and from there I've purchased duty free (via a frequent-flying friend).

I've gone through 2 bottles now, and I'll always ensure I have a bottle sitting pretty on my dresser.

The bottle is fairly plain, but it's simple enough to be classic with a hint of girlie-ness.

It's a sweet vanilla/marshmallow scent (yes, a bit like candy!), but it's not sickly or cheap smelling. It softens out to a really feminine scent that lasts all day. I love catching hints of it on my clothes throughout the day.

I usually wear this for work during the week.

I tend to not recommend this to my friends, because I want to keep this one all to myself! :)

I am notoriously picky with my scents so after smelling what seemed like the entire fragrance section of farmers I chanced upon this one. It was love at first sniff, so I added it to my wishlist. When it popped up on priceline for an absolute steal I had to snap it up.

The bottle is simple but gorgeous, although I had to google how to open the lid! Turns out I'm not the only one, there was even a YouTube clip on how to open it. At first sniff this is sweet but only mildly so, with a warm vanilla/caramel undertone. Musk is one of the topnotes but I am super sensitive to musk scents and I find it to be very subtle, and it doesn't intensify in muskiness as it dries down either. It is quite a powerful scent for me so I find that two spritzes is plenty, but unlike other intense scents this lasts about 6 hours on my skin before I need to reapply. I purchased this as a summer scent but for me its too warm for that so will be keeping for colder days and autumn/winter months. I love how this makes me feel feminine, yet womanly and sophisticated.

I would absolutely recommend to anyone who loves warm sweet, yet grownup scents.

I now know that I love to eat caramel more than I love perfumes with caramel notes or any brand's interpretation of caramel notes.

My aunty brought this over from the States after I saw rave reviews on Youtube. The bottle looked cool and funky with an umbrella-like nozzle - yes that is the spritzer. On the vanity I really liked the nice contrast of pink and golden honey liquid but after awhile I was somewhat underwhelmed with the bottle.

To me it smelled like a creamy blend of sweet melted butter with a very soft hint of Prada Milano Infusion D'Homme (male cologne). I love butter but I don't want to smell like it.

The lasting power is quite impressive, about 6-7 hours however it dried down to a sweet soapy version of the cologne mentioned above without any detection of caramel.

I can't recall the purchase price for this but no doubt it would have been cheaper in the States than in our NZ stores. This perfume lasted me 2 months before I passed it on - I was stoked to be butter free.

I found this little gem in a factory shop having a huge sale so I stocked up on a few fragrances. I had never seen this before but the cuteness of the bottle had me interested.

The bottle is clear glass so you can see how much you have left. It does have an interesting lid which takes a bit of opening for the first time, but once you have done it once, you have it.

The scent is quite a pretty and I feel very feminine wearing this. It reminds me of a candy store with caramels and buttery goodies.

For me it is a real feel good fragrance and this is the first one that I dont have to re-apply constantly during the day. Love this one.

I was given this perfume in a 30ml for my birthday and I absolutely love it! It was always hard to move away from my favourite perfume (hypnotic poison) but I love this so much it would come in as a close favourite. I feel like it is sweet but still very unique and still has a sophisticated smell about it.

Ever since I smelled this once on a tester strip some lady gave me years ago, I've wanted to buy this. But problem was, I had no idea what perfume it was and google came up with a million perfumes matching 'sweet soft warm'. When I was at farmers the other day, I happened to see this by the perfume display, and lo and behold! I found my perfume at last!!

The price is of course, ridiculous, but considering it's prada and I've really really wanted it, I splurged. The packaging is gorgeous but it doesn't have a lid. Luckily there's a little travel clip to prevent spilling.

The scent itself is sweet, kind of like a prune like candy I used to have as a child. It makes me think of happy days and is able to instantly lift my mood. Although it's sweet, I wouldn't classify it as fruity or floral, but straight up like a bag of candy. And yet somehow it still smells mature and classy enough to suit a wide age range.

The staying power is great, and when it dries down it's as if you took a walk through a candy shop. Highly recommend this is you're looking for a luxury perfume! Or the L'eau version for something fresher or floral.

I was on the hunt for a new fragrance that was sweet smelling. I purchased a few samples and this was one of them. I fell in love straight away so had to go out and buy the 80ml bottle. It is on the expensive side but for something that smells so incredible I didn't mind splurging.

It comes in a clear bottle which is cool as you can see how much you have left, the lid is quite different, quite funky looking. It is a simple bottle but still looks appealing to me.

This smells like a mix of vanilla and caramel, the caramel comes through the most on me, I absolutely love it as that was exactly what I was looking for. Very sweet smelling, if you don't like sweet you won't like this.

It is not an overpowering perfume at all, no nasty alcohol smell, I find it quite subtle. I love getting whiffs of it during the day. It lasts a good 6 hours on me before it starts to fade. I like to spray it on my clothing for extra oomph.

Seriously in love with Prada Candy! My new favourite fragrance. Love, love, love!

For me this does not smell as sweet as the name suggests and I feel like it is much more grown up and sophisticated a different name seems appropriate. This one is not like britney spears fantasy or Jessica Simpson's fancy it's simply not that sweet and youthful. This is like a grown-up version. I feel like I have smelt in on someone before who is alot older than me maybe it was an old teacher of mine she is a very nice lady. Anyway my bottle has a stopper so you can close it fir travelling the top of the bottle is quite interesting. Not a bad smell but not one that I want to keep for myself.

i LOVE scentsy's roller ball, sugar. it kills me with happy feels. i use it when im sad and need cheering up. ive been trying to find a dupe for it and was told this would be pretty similar.

it aint.

this is more caramel, vanillary, whereas the smell i was trying to get a dupe of is sweet, and candy flossy, and everything good in the world.

smells a bit too caramelly on me, i dont hate it but it's not my favorite. its definitely a more grown up perfume, and unfortunately i am still a child living my childish dreams, so it's a bit too much for me.

dont hate it, dont love it, glad i only have a small spray bottle of it. and when i do wear it, i layer it with sugar or pink sugar by aquolina, which IS more or less of a dupe of the scentsy one ;-)
