The story behind the bottle.
Prada Candy Gloss, launched in 2017 and crafted by Daniela Andrier, is a Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance that balances sweet and tart notes with powdery warmth. The composition opens with sour cherry and cassis, providing an immediate burst of freshness. As the heart unfolds, rose and orange blossom soften the sharpness, while heliotrope adds a delicate sweetness. The base of vanilla, almond, benzoin, and musk rounds out the scent, creating a comforting embrace that lingers on the skin.
Prada Candy Gloss has a lively opening that fades after an hour, so apply two sprays for maximum impact. The scent is best worn close to the skin rather than diffused in a room, as it reads more intimate and personal up close.
