About Prada Candy EDP
Candy EDP is made by Prada. Its strength is Eau de Parfum.
Candy for work or evenings
This is more of an evening scent: it shines at dinners, dates and nights out. Its caramel side feels cosy and rich after dark.
How far it spreads
Its sillage is medium. People near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. It spreads further than Clinique Cocoa & Cashmere unisex.
How long Candy stays on skin
Expect about 3 to 6 hours on skin, which is about average for a perfume. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. Prada Variety and Imaginary Authors A Whiff of Wafflecone unisex last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like benzoin and vanilla are the part that stays longest on the skin.
