Launched in 2015 by Prada and crafted by Daniela Andrier, Heat Wave is a floral fragrance that captures the essence of warm summer nights. The composition opens with lemon and artemisia, creating a fresh and herbal tension before transitioning into the heart of night-blooming cereus and jasmine, which exude an ethereal sweetness. The base notes of coconut and vanilla provide a rich warmth, enveloping the floral elements in a cocoon of comfort.

Application Tips
Heat Wave's top notes fade quickly, so apply it generously to capture its initial freshness. The base notes bloom gradually over an hour, making it ideal for evening wear when the warmth of the day lingers.
