The story behind the bottle.
Cargo de Nuit by Prada was launched in 2015, a creation that embodies the spirit of cinematic dreams and unexpected potencies. Perfumer Daniela Andrier crafted this woody fragrance with an intention to provoke the experience of a partially remembered dream, far from market clichés. The composition opens with ambrette seeds, which introduce a warm, balsamic note before merging into a heart of cedarwood that adds depth and earthiness. The base notes of musk and vanilla create a comforting embrace, while floral and powdery accords add an extra layer of complexity.
Apply one to two sprays and let it settle on your skin for about five minutes. The ambrette seeds and cedarwood will unfold gradually, creating layers that are best experienced close to the skin rather than from across a room.
