The story behind the bottle.
Prada Tendre, launched in 2006 and crafted by Carlos Benaïm and Clément Gavarry, is a composition that deftly balances the crisp freshness of citrus with warm woody undertones. The fragrance opens with a vibrant burst of bergamot, mandarin orange, and lemon, which are soon layered with aromatic notes like neroli and tea leaf, creating an invigorating yet soothing effect. As it settles into its base, Indian jasmine and Indonesian patchouli leaf bring warmth and depth, while sandalwood and benzoin offer a rich, earthy finish.
Apply two sprays to pulse points for a balanced experience. The citrus top notes are bright but fade within an hour, making way for the warm, enveloping base. This fragrance works best in cooler settings where its depth can be fully appreciated without overpowering.
