Prada

Prada was founded in Milan in 1913, and its perfumes share the fashion house's clean lines and slightly cool polish. Iris and a soft powder are the common thread, set against bergamot and neroli, with amber, vanilla and caramel for warmth. Prada Candy is the sweet one, caramel over a powdery amber base. Prada L'Homme is crisp iris and violet, like a freshly pressed white shirt. Prada Paradoxe opens on citrus and moves into white flowers. Luna Rossa Carbon is the sporty choice, lavender and fresh spice on amber. Wear a couple for a week and see which side of the house fits.

18 perfumes from Prada, decanted in sizes from 3ml so you can try before you buy a bottle.
