Prada Candy L'Eau

The first bite of a freshly baked caramel apple, still warm from the oven, where the sweetness of the caramel mingles with the fresh tanginess of the fruit.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2013 and crafted by Daniela Andrier, Prada Candy L'Eau is an EDT that reimagines the original Prada Candy with a fresher, more playful twist. The composition begins with sparkling citruses and sweet pea, creating a bright and airy opening that quickly transitions into a warm, gourmand base of caramel, benzoin, and white musk. This fragrance stands out for its balance between freshness and indulgence, making it both approachable and captivating.

How to wear it

One spray to each wrist and neck is enough — the citruses are bright but fleeting, while the caramel base develops gradually over time. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than in the air, so avoid layering too heavily.
