Prada Candy
The Fragrance
Candy is Excessive
The pure indulgence and enjoyment of Prada Candy lies in its excess. Prada Candy is a fragrance with a novel olfactory balance combining exceptionally high-quality ingredients in excessive proportions. Magnified by White Musks, noble Benzion comes together with a modern Caramel accord to give the fragrance a truly unique signature.
A Cocktail of Musks
A refined veil of timeless Musks drapes the Benzion and Caramel notes, revealing an irreverent combination defying convention. The silky, powdery texture of the Musks brings a sophisticated and elegant character to the fragrance.
An Overdose of Laotion Benzion
Benzion is a resin collected from the styrax tree, grown in the forests of Laos. Found here in an unprecedented concentration of 12%, it is addictive and sensual, with warm, wet, sweet, balsamy notes evoking delicately vanilla-scented honey.
An Explision of Caramel
In an unexpected Prada twist, a synthetic pop accord of Carael is playfully jostling with the natural note of Benzion. This Caramel accord is delicious and nostalgic joyfully feminine and sweetly addictive.

Color Theory - "Using very colorful makeup is an expression of doing something purely for fun and pleasure -- very innocent," makeup artist Tom Pecheux said backstage at Peter Som. He wasn't the only one tasting the rainbow: Wella colorist Aura Friedman tinted hair extensions... For the spring collections, color indisputably ruled... What's more inspiring than sporting all those brights during the dead of winter? It's a bold, much-needed reminder that eventually, all those pretty spring flowers will bloom again, even if we have to slog through in furry boots a bit longer.

Sweet Scents
Miuccia Prada, whose fashion house is synonymous with chic minimalism, takes a turn toward excess with her latest scent, Candy, an alluring cocktail of silky white musks, balsamy benzoin, and caramel. For the campaign, Prada sought a decidedly French twist, enlisting the visionary director and photographer Jean-Paul Goude and actress Léa Seydoux to collaborate on a provocative television short inspired by the passionate, early-20th-century apache dance, named for the Parisian street gangs who first performed it.

Purists might scoff that this newish group of fragrances doesn't deserve a category of its own, but its growing popularity speaks to the sensual connection between smell and taste. They won't make you lick your pulse points, but they have strong hints of chocolate, vanilla, caramel, run, and cotton candy.

A Refined Take On a Sweet Scent

("Top 10 Beauty Investments." Glamour Oct. 2011: 136)
Prada - "If Prada Candy were a film, it would be a musical comedy!" -Lea Seydoux. "We used extreme proportions to create something new, unexpected, and optimistic," says perfumer Daniela Andrier of Prada Candy. Lest you assume it smells like Pop Rocks, it's a cool take on the sweet concept, utilizing Benzion, a creamy-smelling resin of the Laotian styrax tree (no joke) and a synthetic "pop" of caramel. Design-wise, the team looked to the house's signature saffiano leather and colorful accessories. Fashion illustrator Francois Berthoud sketched the box art, and art director Jean-Paul Goude dreamed up a video and print ad starring French actress Léa Seydoux as a naughty piano student. The soundtrack wisely avoids the Bow Wow Wow song. Prada Candy eau de parfum, $80.
(Flaherty, Erin and Chu, Ying. "Beauty: In the Mood for All." Marie Claire Sept. 2011: 294.)
Scent & Style - Speaking of mischievous: Prada Candy. From the moment French actress Lea Seydoux impulsively careens acress the screen -- a variation of the combative Apache dance performed by Paris street ganags in the 1900s -- in the short film by Jean-Paul Goude that Miuccia Prada commissioned about the fragrance, you know it's going to be good. And it is, especially if you like candy. The Deco/Pop bottle, which is fun just to look at, contains an over-the-top blend of powdery musks and warm, balsamy benzoin (a resin from Laos's styrax tree), capped off with sticky, sweet caramel. -- How Sweet It Is: Prada Candy.
