It’s the perfect balance between fresh and floral, the type of olfactory poetry that you can wear for this season and beyond.

Not to mention, the brand also recently introduced Heart Evangelista as the face of Eve Truth.
Prada Candy
Prada’s interpretation of a dessert-inspired fragrance creates an enchanting, sensual, and sweet gourmand scent that is impossible to ignore. It features a concoction of white musks, benzoin, vanilla, and caramel accords that packs a delicious punch. Consider this as a grown-up version of your childhood candy cologne.
