Prada Candy Kiss Eau de Parfum is a soft, musky interpretation of the Candy line released in 2016. Where the original Candy was bold and caramel-sweet, Kiss takes a gentler approach, wrapping orange blossom in layers of white musk with vanilla warmth for a fragrance that feels like a tender, slightly sweet kiss on the cheek. It is the most intimate and skin-close member of the Candy family.
The opening features musk, which is unusual because musk is typically a base note. By putting it right at the front, Candy Kiss establishes its soft, clean, skin-like character from the very first spray. The musk feels warm, slightly powdery, and incredibly clean, like freshly laundered sheets or warm skin after a shower. From the general accord, bergamot adds a subtle citrus brightness that gives the opening a whisper of freshness. The opening is gentle and inviting, drawing people closer rather than projecting outward.
The heart brings orange blossom alongside continuing musk. Orange blossom is the defining floral element, providing a honeyed, slightly waxy, citrus-floral sweetness that is both warm and luminous. It adds a beautiful, golden quality to the musk's clean softness. Lily of the valley from the general accord contributes a fresh, green, slightly dewy floral note that keeps the heart from becoming too heavy. The musk continues its presence, now blending with the orange blossom to create a floral-musky heart that is incredibly pretty and feminine.
The base deepens with more musk and vanilla. The triple-layered musk creates an extraordinary sense of softness and proximity, a scent that seems to emanate from the skin itself rather than sitting on top of it. Vanilla adds a warm, creamy sweetness that is subtle and comforting rather than gourmand. The base is one of the softest, most intimate dry downs in the entire Candy lineup, lasting for hours in a gentle, skin-close aura.
Candy Kiss is a year-round fragrance that works for any occasion. Its soft, intimate character makes it perfect for everyday wear, the office, and close encounters. The most wearable and universally appealing member of the Candy collection.
