Prada Candy in plain words

What it smells like, how it wears and who it suits.

What it smells like

Caramel comes first, warm and soft rather than sticky. A powdery musk follows, and the base is a gentle blend of vanilla and benzoin that feels cosy and a little nostalgic.

How it wears

The perfume community mostly reports moderate wear and a trail that stays close to the skin. A few wearers get longer wear.

When to wear it

Wearers find it best in winter and autumn, mainly for daytime and the office, though it can slip into an evening too.

Who it suits

It suits a woman who likes a mellow, grown-up gourmand that keeps to itself. If you want a loud sugary blast, it may seem too subdued.
