Prada Candy Florale

Prada Candy Florale holds a special place in my heart, as it was the very first perfume I had ever developed an interest for. I first encountered this fragrance when I was in Grade 11 in 2014, which was exactly the year it was launched, and was totally captivated by both the promotional video and the stunning, exquisite light pink bottle. Back then I was only a high schooler and thus couldn't afford a bottle of this, considering the absurd price point here in Thailand. Now that I'm 23, I finally got my hands on it, and boy, was I smitten! This is truly worth all those years of waiting! Although it is supposed to be a Candy flanker, Florale, by no means, inherits the gourmand-ish DNA of the original Candy - this is peony-dominant through and through. In fact, the peony is all I can smell upon the first application and throughout the entirety of the scent, except for the dry down perhaps. It is decidedly linear, but that doesn't necessarily mean it is terrible. Prada actually did an excellent job in capturing the scent of the peony since it smells so soapy, delicate, feminine, clean, refreshing and refined, all without being screechy or detergent-like; I'd say it is more reminiscent of a luxury soap you can find in luxury malls or five-star hotels. Once the fragrance reaches the base, a hint of limoncello, musk and maybe the faintest tinge of caramel begin to emerge, lending a sweet undertone to the floral composition. Surprisingly, this actually has a solid performance on my skin, lasting up to 10 hours with 6 atomizations and moderate projection during the first two hours, then eventually turning into a skin scent. The fragrance is perfect for spring days, any occasion and any attire, but I reckon it pairs best with a girly, pink floral dress. If you tend to gravitate towards soapy florals, especially those that contain peony, chances are you will be pleased by this beautiful yet affordable offer from Prada. The scent evokes the mental image of an attractive, graceful young lady with a lithe body and fair, flawless skin in a light pink dress and a white floral-embroidered bucket hat who is sipping lemonade in a flower shop. That being said, I must admit that this is not super innovative, and my perception and affection for Candy Florale might be rather subjective due to the nostalgia and it being of sentimental value to me. However, in my humble opinion, this is truly the scent that successfully embodies feminity and sophistication, and I thoroughly enjoy it. And for only $60 for an 80 ml? That's too good to miss :-)

I love it, but before jumping into details I want to say that gourmand lovers will be most likely disappointed - sweetness here is more of a floral type, not edible one. This scent is mostly peony (which I adore) with a mix of citrus and honey. It’s a very pleasant combo great for those who are looking for sweeter florals. Sniffing this perfume makes me happy and it’s a great way to start a day. Uplifting, feminine and pretty. Performance is better than I expected. When testing it, I was pretty sure it’s an EDP, EDT surprised me posivitely. Sits closer to the skin, but can be smelled by those who are nearby. Lasts for around 6-7 hours on skin and even more on clothes. I’ve just order a rollerball to have it in my purse - refreshing that happy and lovely smell during the day is a sure pleasure. I highly recommend this scent - if you’re afraid that it will be synthetic or too sweet, fear no more - it’s very floral and cute :) Ah, and if you’re familiar with Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet - they share very similar opening/base, drydown of CF is more citrus/sweet.

I bought this after getting a tester in a magazine a few months ago. I was just so impressed how 'nice' and fresh it smelled. It is just short of being too powdery sweet. I tend to wear it on my décolletage inside my clothes as it lasts longer and seems to keep a slightly more spicy/oriental note. I noticed it smelled peppery on my mams wrist and seems to fade quicker on mine. The 30ml bottle I bought lasted two months, pretty much a wee squirt or two everyday :-) Thankfully my mam bought me the bigger bottle for my birthday. When I bought the first bottle I did smell the other two on paper, Candy was way too sweet as I expected. Found it really cloying. L'eau I thought had hints of a lighter Coco which I thought might be nice. I did try L'eau on my wrist recently and it didn't work on my skin at all. A very wearable everyday scent, not too heavy/sweet with a nice freshness but I do try to keep it down to one or two sprays.

I just picked up Prada Candy and had to pick this up along with it. I always ignored it because I'm not too into florals. They smell too old lady and give me a headache. But this, oh my, this. I just had to have it. It's so young and fresh for a floral. It's not overwhelming and smells so clean and refreshing while still being extremely feminine. The floral doesn't smell synthetic to me. This is what a girl should smell like in the summer. Like a pretty girl, fresh out of the shower, eating cotton candy and sweet tarts, in a field of flowers. Now I'm not suggesting that you run out and do that. It'd probably attract a lot of ants and bees. You should just smell like you do that. Edit: This smells amazing, but the scent is noticeable for the first hour. Then you can smell it if you put your wrist right under your nose. Then it's completely gone by the end of hour 2. Wish they made this an EDP instead of EDT.

So Prada scents have not been kind to me. I end up smelling like a sixty year old lady sitting in a hot trailer during a heat wave. Honestly, it's not the perfumes but I suspect it's me which makes me wonder about I really will smell like at age 60. But I digress. I got a sample from Sephora and spray it on right before I jumped in the shower, ready to scrub it off. In the first ten seconds, I realized I really like this. Sadly I had to jump in the shower to go to work but I sprayed it back on. This lasted on me six hours. A deliquent 13 year male student actually complimented me on smelling good. This is HUGE because he constantly tries to come up with new insults pertaining to my romantic life. I love this. Every time, I get ready to write a school suspension form, I smell it and smile. And not just smiling from getting rid of a rude teenager. I LOVE the scent.

This perfume would be my very favorite if it last longer than hour, I don’t usually have problems with longevity of fragrances on my oily skin, so this is really weak. I actually got second bottle from Ulta (first one was from Macys) because I just thought I got some bad batch at first, but again it has longevity of body mist, really sad - it smells lovely. I’m fresh floral type of gal so this scent is unique to me, if I knew notes I wouldn’t probably even try it, because I can’t stand gourmand and sugary scents, although it has caramel and limoncello notes, it still has those fresh floral vibes and OMG those peonies❤️. My husband loves it on me, this is probably only fragrance we both agree on, so next time I just try to buy this one on eBay, maybe knock off would be stronger.

This is an absolute fave. I think it's so easy to wear. I don't normally like soapy scents, but this is soapy in the same way a nice shampoo is. You know how after you've showered, if you go back into the bathroom an hour later, the scent of the shampoo still lingers? This is the same smell for me. It smells clean, crisp, and definitely floral. The peony reigns. Gourmand notes are not perceptible to me, and this is definitely very different than the original Prada Candy. Longevity is incredible - for me, it lasts upwards of 24hrs on the skin and 48hrs on clothing. I just hope they haven't reformulated this since I bought my bottle in 2017! If the longevity is worse when I have to rebuy, I'd be pretty disappointed. ;)

LOVE. I blind-tested it, got powdery floral, but couldn’t come up with much else. Didn’t expect to find there’s a limoncello note. I can see it now. It lends tangyness and brightness. No sourness or sharpness. On my skin, I get THE MOST BEAUTIFUL peony. The peony is highlighted by a tart freshness from the limoncello, blending so nicely with a very soapy powderiness and resinousness from the benzoin. Perfectly powdery, perfectly sweet, perfectly musky and clean. Ultrafemme, joyful, sensual, lush, elegant, and knock-your-socks off gorgeous. Reminiscent of and nearly as exquisite as my absolute favorite flower essence of them all: beach rose. If beach roses were peonies, this is how they’d smell.

Love the scent, love the bottle....but on me it literally disappears in the blink of an eye...well, maybe two blinks. Why do manufacturers waste their name and a beautifully designed bottle on something that very few people would repurchase considering the fleeting longevity of this scent? If it were an inexpensive body spray that I felt free to douse myself in at relatively little cost, I'd repurchase this but it's not...I could literally go through this entire 30ml bottle in a day and enjoy every minute of it. I may just do that...like a big fireworks finale: over in such a short time but breathtaking while it lasts.

When I first smelled I say:OMG,WTF is this?Than I smelled it yesterday,and I was totally in shock,how beautiful fresh,floral,powdery,soapy sceny is this! On me,is the peony the prominent note with a honey base and with a limoncello in the background which take a fresh feeling,and the peony on me is very soapy,powdery,just gorgeous! The dry down is a warm floral scent,with the original candy in the background,(musky,and too much)! For a spring is a perfect refreshing scent,with peony,honey,musk! Nothing like ths other two,but something different,and I like it a lot!Looooove iiit,so beautiful!

I was so excited to recieve this since I have no idea what to expect. I’ve seen this online and never really tried in person. I got it today and I’m very happy with my purchase! To some people they may not like the smell of floral, a little citrus and musk in it. Once spray, you’ll smell the strong floral (peony) and hint of citrus (limoncello) and musk, but as hours pass by, it becomes subtle and light fragrance that lingers to your nose and to anyone who smells it. The citrus lingers more throughout the time with a mix of floral. I couldn’t smell the honey or caramel to it. I love it!

Hot summer days, just-out-of-the-shower, t-shirt and yoga pants, infused ice water while laying in cool white linens with a soft cool breeze enveloping the room. That’s the picture I get with this frag. Simple, linear, daytime, relaxing. Fresh, clean floral. Perfect for a girl’s first perfume, safe for crowds/work. Fades rather quickly. Nothing special. I do enjoy it though. Every frag doesn’t have to be a life-changing experience. Sometimes we need one we can reach for when we want to reset our minds and our olfactory functions. This one fits that niche.

Prada Candy Florale is an absolutely beautiful perfume but it makes me sad because the lasting power & sillage are so weak! It is a gorgeous powdery, sweet floral fragrance. Very feminine, romantic and pretty. I think of a young woman wearing a pretty white lace dress, a ribbon in her hair and a sparkle in her eye. Innocent yet you know she is hiding a darker secret. Overall, a beautiful perfume which is sadly let down by the very poor lasting power & sillage. I am debating if I should pay such a high price for such a weak yet stunning fragrance.

To me this feels like a soapy scent. It doesn't smell like Chloe but it's kind of similar. Hard to explain. It feels like a clean soapy vibe. So much better than what it's being compared to, body sprays and the like. So much better. I think I have found a signature scent using this perfume. I combined it with Skyler boardwalk. The two of those together are so perfect. This boardwalk adds more sweetness, kind of like a candy vibe. The two of them together is what I thought Prada candy original should have smelled like.

This perfume was my first signature scent when I was in high school. At the time, it was perfect for me: young, girly, playful, sweet, clean and flirty. The downside of this fragrance is its longevity and sillage, which are very very poor. I get away with 5-8 sprays until I'm satisfied (or else it's gone in an hour). Unfortunately, it got boring and uninteresting very quickly. Now that I'm in my 20s, I wouldn't purchase it again, although I enjoyed it for a brief amount of time. Wears the best in spring.

This is really nice. I actually prefer this to the original prada candy which is a bit linear and sweet although still nice. This is floral and fresh and dries down to a soapy floral. I have found myself really wanting this one, I might need to get it! Edit: Seriously could not stop thinking about this fragrance, I just love it. I fear it will be discontinued like these flankers usually are so I may buy a backup bottle. Absolutely fantastic fresh floral fragrance!

This has definitely changed over time. What used to be a Limoncello forward scent has turned into a floral one, but it's still gorgeous. The peony has taken centre stage, supported by lemon and tinge of honey. I don't get "fresh and clean" from this, it flirts between sugared lemon and sweet peony with the honey lending a slight syrup vibe, without making the scent feel "thick". Performance and longevity are still tame, but is exceptional in hot weather!

I've been wearing this one for years, but I'm really surprised that limoncello is meant to be a top note. I don't detect caramel at all; to me, it's a delicate, pretty peony perfume with a hint of musk and sweetness (presumably from the honey). It's perfect for spring and summer, and very much a daytime scent, but I wish that the scent lingered longer... In fairness though, my bottle is getting on a bit, so that' might be why!

I love this perfume a lot! I have never tried it until today because I assumed that the smell will be like sweet caramel candy mixed with heavy peony. This is what I expected because of the name Candy and rose bottle. How surprised I was when I smelled very fresh, clean, light floral fragrance with a drop of honey. This is very safe perfume and can work well during spring-summer days. So happy that I found it!

Very girly scent. It smells like a bunch of small, pink flowers. It is not a white floral in any way, and there's no greenness to it. It's pretty sweet, but not too sweet, and doesn't smell like the original Prada Candy (which I think is a bit cloying) in any way. Although it is sweet, I think it is still fresh. It has a youthful tinge to it. I can imagine a 16yr old wearing this.

I love this entire line. They are all so unique and special. This one layered with powder love is divine! This is one that you have to let mature. I’ve had it for a few years and pulled it out today to layer with Juliette’s had a gin Powder love and I can’t stop smelling myself. I love the combo. Im going to wear it again tomorrow! 💕

A bright, fresh, pretty and youthful scent. This perfume opens with refreshing and sunny limoncello sorbet, a bit overpowering, yet still delightful. Soon it rounds out with soft and pretty floral, honey and caramel with just the right amount of musk. Perfect for Spring and Summer. It lasts pretty long on me, about 5-6 hours.

I love this!!! At first spray it is sharp, yes. However, it develops into this beautiful scent, varm and sweet floral. I wasn't fond of the original Prada Candy, but this I love! It smells very different from the first spray till it settles. A lot like Gucci Flora, as some said before :).

I’m loving this! At first, it’s a bright lemony peony, but it dries down to the most beautiful soapy floral on my skin. I’m looking at the notes on here and I’m not getting any caramel or any hint of gourmand whatsoever. It’s like a beautiful, sparkling floral shampoo and I love it!

Candy Florale is like a sparkling lemon cocktail I can't stop sipping. Once I spray this, I keep reaching for a rush of the crisp fresh scent. It smells like laying in a field of flowers, drinking lemonade, and wearing a freshly laundered white linen dress.

I absolutely love it! It's a burst of joy that makes me wanna cease the day! Reminds me of sunny and warm spring mornings. It's girly, flowery and elegant. A little bit synthetic but not irritating at all. Nothing like the prada candy wich I totally hate.

This is quite lovely and the most complimented on fragrance I have ever worn.I really don't know why,as it is a light shampoo like scent to me,but,there it is.Every where I go it's "What are you wearing? It smells so good!" I just go with the flow lol.

And yet again, a very subtle and refreshing scent from Prada. Love it. Not too offensive on the nose and not too weak for the need to spray at least 5-6 times. The attractivenes of the bottle is a plus. Suitable for women of all ages.

I wore this to the market, and people around me kept saying the flower aroma it contained was fantastic. I like it a lot since it's very fresh and long-lasting. Plus, it had many fans the only day I wore it!

Honestly wasn't super big on it at first, but it's grown on me. It smells super fresh, kinda like standing between the fruit and flowers at a grocery store. It really makes me feel super confident.

Oh wow...this perfume is so delicious and fresh..smell lasts when you layer with the body lotion..I just can't stop smelling my wrist !! A really beautiful sexy fun perfume :0)

My previous review was written in late fall when I had received it for almost a week.back then it was a "meh" for me.I thought it's inoffensive and boring and if I bought a sample of it first,I'd never ordered a full bottle I had to write a second review for it now,which is early spring.to be honest I'm very happy to have it now. I still love Prada Candy and Prada Candy Kiss while I like Candy Florale but it's a strong like In winter I couldn't detect slightest hint of caramel or other sweet notes.it was just a lemony peony-scented soap.nice but flat,too light,too simple.things are a bit different in warmer days of spring It opens with an adorable lemony note.I'm not a citrus fan and I love it when I find a citrus scent that I like,which rarely happens Lemon is fresh and natural here,but it's not acidic, sour or sharp.think of a glass of an icey cool beverage,a slightly sweet one with caramel and honey in it.now cut half a lemon and pour drops of it's juice into the potion I can smell soft,beautiful and clean musky peony while there's scent of mentioned drink in the background.lemons adds an alluring freshness while they're rounded by a light touch of caramel,honey and benzoin so that there's nothing sharp or cold in candy florale I still believe it's simple and inoffensive but it's so well balanced and so beautiful that it's difficult not to love it.it's not a flat scent and while being delicate,it has dimensions.there's exactly right amount of citrus to provide freshness and brightness blending with right amount of floral to provide a pretty,springy aspect and right amount of musk to provide a soft powdery clean quality and sweet notes to make it rounded and delicious. wearing it in a sunny spring day is a real pleasure.it's refreshing,sweet,soft and clean.don't let the term "candy florale" fool you.it's not candy like and it's not heavily floral.it's definitely a modern fragrance and however it's not complex as classic florals,it had depth Prada candy florale is youthful and a lot of people see it as a girly scent,something for a blonde princess in pink dress. I agree that it's youthful and delicate and a great choice for a young lady in her late teens or early 20s,but I also believe it's exactly as good for her mother.there's nothing in it not suitable for a mature lady.she looks fragile but if you start to know her better you'd see her calmness,confidence and class so all in all I find it ageless I like it alot and I will wear it alot in spring and summer.it's good for almost every occasion and most people will love it on you and comment on how lovely you smell Neither longevity nor sillage aren't great but they're not weak either.actually better than expected for a fresh citrus floral. you'd better reapply it through day but it can do the job for a few hours and stay noticable for people around you If you're looking for a gourmand, this will disappoint you. honey and caramel stay in far background and just have a supporting role. give it a try if slightly lemony, soapy peony with a delicate sweetness speaks to you If you like Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet there's a big chance, you'll like this one too ❤❤❤❤ اگه دنبال یه عطر گورمند و واقعا شیرین هستید سراغش نرید. کارامل و عسل، خیلی کمرنگ و تو پس زمینه هستن و بیشتر نقش بالانس کننده دارن. پرادا کندی فلورال عمدتا ترکیبی از لیمو هست(لیمویی که اصلا اسیدی و ترش نیست) با گل پئونی و مشک صابونی و تمیز و یه شیرینی ملایم. بیشتر مثل یه شامپوبدن خوشبوئه تا یه رایحه گورمند. برای بهار و تابستون خیلی مناسبه و اصلا محدودیت سنی نداره. اگه از میس دیور بلووینگ بوکت خوشتون میاد احتمالا از پرادا کندی فلورال هم خوشتون بیاد

I love peony and somehow with the woody bitterness of the intense musk here, caramel and benzoin, it comes off almost like violet on me, like a much lighter sweeter less bitter Lolita Lempicka EDT. There is something slightly dusty and sunny to my nose due to the honey and the limoncello intensifies that and keeps the perfume dry. I love the cooling sharp sourness of the limoncello. Now the honey always gives me that dusty floral feeling like daisies under the sun with bees all over them and this stays on me for about an hour. I am not getting much caramel but it is there, subtle reminding us this is Prada Candy along with the resin sweetness of the benzoin, like the real benzoin pieces I used to touch as a kid and they looked like they have powdered sugar so I wanted to eat them. The drydown is honey+benzoin+musk+peony and it is sunny and powdery. It is not a warm composition though, but along the lines of some violet citrusy perfumes like MJ's Daisy, but this is more interesting, less crisp, less screechy due to the benzoin and lack of grapefruit. It actually made me think of Daisy and then I looked it up and saw violet as a note in Daisy, and like I said there is something quite violety to me here. The musk is intense and I love musk it helps it stay fresh and "cold". Its musk after 3 hrs of wear is alittle pungent, so this is a perfume I can mix with sweeter body mists. Lasting power is good, not as great as Candy Kiss or Candy Gloss, but adequate. Update: the more I wear it, I realize it is very unique and I love the honey and benzoin combination, I can really detect both. The musk must become bitter from the caramel-peony-limoncello combo I am guessing. I detect that same caramel note in the OG, even tho it's more powdery there. Unique and perfect pairing of a cold musky floral background with the sweet Prada Candy dna and a romantic sunny vibe. I prefer wearing this perfume spring and summer right before the sun goes down. Also I adore this perfume for bed time in the summer, I always have happy dreams. The traces of it when I wake up smell divine. It always makes me feel that Im laying on a sunny field full of flowers and refreshing spring air.

With the juicy lemon in the opening and fresh, clean peony in the heart, Prada Candy Florale seems more like a whatever citrus floral fragrance than a flanker of Candy line. This duet of lemon and peony lasts about 4 hours, then the gourmand elements of Candy finally peep through, adding a slightly powdery sugary edge, which actually makes the concoction smell like lemon sorbet, and more interesting than the phase before. In the late drydown, I also detect a more prominent rosy nuance, which makes the whole scent smell like a demure litchi note. The sillage of Candy Florale is very soft and the longevity around 7 hours. Although Candy Florale is not a very original composition, I find it very smooth and enjoyable throughout its development and doesn't have the annoying laundry-like base as some fragrances do. I'd recommend it as a citrus floral fragrance for warmer weather. And if you did not enjoy the original Candy or Candy L'Eau, you might still enjoy Candy Florale as they're quite different.

Floral Citrus Prada Candy Florale is something you'll love if you adore peony, if you adore citrus summer perfumes, or if you're just getting into perfume and you want to smell 'nice.' CF is pretty linear, and I totally agree with the dominant notes that you all have voted for--it opens up with a lot of lemony citrus, a big peony, and as it wears a honey note opens up, and the drydown becomes a bit musky. The citrus lasts for most of the wear, and I think the peony lasts for ALL of it. This has some projection if you apply enough sprays, and lasts up to 8 hours on my skin. This is Prada, after all, and CF is perfectly pleasant to wear, it smells nice, and the peony is well rounded and never gets screechy or high pitched. If peony is a favorite note this is a green light. For me though this just smells like really nice shampoo, and ultimately kind of 'meh.' If I found a bottle for say $20, or if I got it as a gift, I would be happy to wear it, but it's nothing that I'm clamoring over.

This does not smell like ANY of the "reminds me of" perfumes to me. Very odd, since I can usually see what people are picking up on with fragrances I am familiar with. It is a bright, fresh, clean peony with some sweetness, but without the soapy musk of something like the original Bright Crystal. I like it, but sadly it does not last very long on me. I love the original Candy and Candy L'Eau, and I like Candy Night, but this is kind of the most mid of the line that I have tried next to Candy Kiss. (For the record, the only one I have tried that I haven't been into is Candy Gloss because of the overwhelming cherry note.) If Candy Florale lasted longer on me, I'd probably splurge for a full bottle, but there are other peony-centered scents that work better for me. I truly wish Prada would go back to this kind of vibe for their youthful fragrances rather than Paradoxe; I'd take even the worst of the Candy line over that any freaking day.

This was a blindbuy for me I had prada candy and kiss and liked both of them so I decided to collect whole candy line If you're into light,pretty,modern floral fragrances with delicate sweetness you'd love this but if you're into heavy scents and gourmands it may dissapoint you Prada candy floral is super gorgeous,it's so pretty that I can't say I don't like it.it's fresh,uplifting,clean,soft and girly I can get soft peony,lemon,a sweet,rounded one and some powdery clean musk.I expected it to have some gourmand quality.I love caramel and I can't pick it up here,not even much honey and benzoin ,however I feel they're there,rounding all the edges I think it's real beauty blooms in hot weather so I'm saving it for spring and summer but for now I see it a very nice perfume which doesn't justify it's price tag for me.longevity is moderate on my skin,about 4,5 hours and sillage is soft ❤❤❤

This is a lovely scent. Fresh, floral, very pretty and delicate. For some reason I seem to be able to smell violets shortly after spraying! After 5 hours I could still smell the scent on my skin which by this time was a really clean, just showered type smell, which reminds me of something I cant quite put my finger on but could be some M&S bath/shower products I once received as a gift. Unfortunately, it seems to have little to no projection. Despite being sat directly next to my husband he couldn't smell anything even when the fragrance had only been applied shortly before. Such a shame as I really love this, but, whilst not wanting to overpower everyone, some sillage would be nice. Quite pricey for a skin scent, lovely as it is this has made my like list but is not yet on my want list.

I just put some on - yeah it is still lovely, this tangy, soapy freshness. I believe that some of the many disappointed or critical reviews partly comes from knowing and loving Prada Candy. I have not yet smelled Candy, though I have every intention of doing so, but I think it was probably an advantage that my mini of Candy didn't survive the trip from Asia, then I had no firm expectations. On me I don't get much powder. And though I recently fell in love with a powdery perfume (which I am still amazed by) I normally consider no powder or very little powder a good thing. I just want to say this, because it is described as powdery, but it should not scare anyone from trying it. It could be a cousin to Fleur d'Interdit from Givenchy.

This perfume smells nice and pretty but very soft. I sprayed twice on my shirt, I have to dig on my shirt to be able to smell it, but the longevity is okay. I sniff my shirt and the scent is barely there but I keep getting a whiff of it until 8 hours later. I smell some sweet lemon with some flowers. It smells clean like a nice clean soap. It is a very safe perfume and won't offend anyone. It's pleasant but won't be love because it's too light for me. Pretty bottle though. Ps. Now I wear this again when the weather is warmer(70-80F), it is actually SO good! It is delicious and fresh. It's not that great when the weather is colder. In spring/summer it is amazing.

65% gourmand, 30% floral, and the other 5% is a mystery. This may be the ONLY gourmand that I like. I do believe any age can wear this. And the devil is wearing Kouros, not this scent. It's not a fruit juice scent nor a maple syrupy sweet scent, but a moist sugar....like marshmallow, soft like it, too.....and that's sweet and sticky enough for me. It's not a "warm" nor "cool" scent , but I don't believe I'd wear it in the summertime, as I think it would "melt the marshmallow" and become overbearing. Then there's that beautiful floral that balances it. I would like a bit of more floral, personally. I would layer it with a half drop of Damask. I like it.

What a pleasant surprise for Candy Prada. This is not sweet at all, like this time they sat down and said let's create something very different from Candy. The only problem I detect is the longevity. Sillage is moderate, but on me it doesn't last more than four hours. Other than that it's a perfumey perfume. It's soft, a little peppery, floral and yes, the musk is quite prominent. It's way too soft for my liking, but it's inoffensive, feminine and clean. Caramel is not as prominent as it should be, so some might be disappointed. This is not Candy Florale, it's just Florale. Daytime, summer and spring. All ages appropriate.

So here's the thing, this smells weird. Synthetic sugar baby powder, floral shampoo mix that is a bit... cringe worthy. It is not pleasant. This is the fragrance when I put my nose close to wrist and sniff. HOWEVER, the projection scent this gives off is beautiful. It's a very clean, fresh, soapy floral. Wafts a few feet around me. It's similar to that smell you give off after having a nice hot shower and using beautifully scented soaps; that fresh, clean, universally loved smell. Never really experienced a fragrance that is so different smelled up close vs. how the projection/wafts of it in the air smell.

Most of the negativity for this scent is related to the fact that die-hard Candy fans are disappointed in the lack of resemblance to the original candy. The only similarity I sense is the iconic Prada benzoin note that I can subtly detect in the dry down. I do not really get any caramel. But to be honest I don't care how much this resembles Candy or not... all I know is that I am addicted to this fragrance. The combination of peony and sweet lemon is divine. I can't stop smelling my wrist. When I wear a different perfume I really wish I was wearing Candy Florale. I am in love.

It's pretty much a skin scent but I was pleasantly surprised by it. When I tested it on a blotter when it came out, I was very disappointed by its generic flowery nothingness, but in an effort to test more scents from my collection I've decited to use a sample I was given a while ago. And Prada Candy Florale was just what I needed today - a flower with a delicately gourmand edge thanks to honey and limoncello. It's cute, girly, but can be used as a mood booster even in office environment, as it has really low sillage. I can detect its gentle aura for about 6 hours though.

Citrusy and floral opening, inoffensive, crowd-pleasing. The peony is so fresh and real! Then, I quickly get musky notes, and a sweetness similar to marshmallow. I’ve smelled a few marshmallow perfumes, and some have this type of marshmallow smell. Although here, it can be due to the honey-caramel-musk together. Weak longevity, at-dry down can’t smell much, similar to floral shampoo... This is so pretty, I want to lick my hand! _____ Projection, sillage, longevity : 6/10 Originality, presentation : 6.5/10 Quality, value : 6.5/10 6.5/10

It starts off refreshing like a cold, sweet glass of peony infused lemonade, as full of bubbly innocence as a girl at her Sweet Sixteen party in 1955. But it's over too soon. It fades to something generically pleasant before mostly disappearing altogether, and that within the first hour. I can't see myself ever buying a bottle, but I could receive a free bottle with a shrug. This is a lighter, citrus focused take on the original Candy whereas L'Eau is, I feel, ironically more floral. I just wish the flankers had more staying power.

I was crazy with excitement about that limoncello note, as I like my sweet perfumes with a citrusy touch. But I do not feel much citrus and there's something quite oily about this fragrance which gives me a funny feeling in my stomach (I have troubles digesting oily food), no idea what it is though. That "oily" scent calmsdown after about 6 hours and you end up with a fresh, sweet, floral fragrance that feels nice - still need to figure out if it's nice enough for me to buy it though.

SLightly lemony, soapy caramel peony fragrance. It smells beautiful and perfect for summer/spring. I don't smell the honey note, rather it's not dominant. There is this creamy background note after 15 minutes of spraying that I usually associate with honey. Really beautifully blended fragrance, it's nothing groundbreaking but it smells like a nice summer's day without being too florale, too citrusy or too gourmand. Would be nice if it lasted a little longer!

This is the brightest peony fragrance. It's like covering yourself in fresh flowers. The musk in this is very light, I mostly get peony, peony and more peony. A little bit of citrus, very fresh. I really had to be in a special mood to wear this one because it can verge on "fancy guest bathroom soap at Grandma's house", which is something I am generally not crazy about. However, when I was in the mood for it I really enjoyed it!
