Prada Tendre

Prada Tendre starts with elegant citrus and tea notes which are in a tomboy manner feminine. Does this make sense? I hope so... The soft heart is far more woody and herbal than floral. I can't make out any single flower note. The scent tames in this stage and becomes in a fresh and young way elegantly powdery and round. In the base note I get a patchouly wood mix reminiscent of the base of Coco Mademoiselle. Prada Tendre reminded from the moment when the top melts into the heart on of Coco Mademoiselle but in the stage of the drydown it's really hard to distinguish them. Maybe CM is a bit sweeter because of the vanilla. After all Prada Tendre is much rounder, softer and decent than CM. While Coco Mademoiselle is a 21 year old, sharp, but also quirky, sparkling flirty, smirking girl that shouts "Look at me!" and has a subversive edge under her peachy skin from top to bottom, the edginess of the more mature sister – 28 years old Prada Tendre – lies only in the slightly masculin top note. That makes her first a bit distant and mysterious but then really sophisticated. So Coco Mademoiselle is a quirky mademoiselle who only pretends to be a proper lady while Prada Tendre embodies the young confident lady which CM will become when she gets older. I guess I resemble both of them and maybe that's why I love Prada Tendre as much as my current signature Coco Mademoiselle... ;)

Being stuck and bored at a very small “gate area” of an airport a few weeks ago, I was browsing through fragrances at the duty free shop and tried bounty of them on a paper and as I loved all of the Prada creations, I was really looking forward to testing them on the skin. This one is just lovable and quite special on me! I do not seem to be experiencing the citruses, instead to me this is all leafy/rooty/woody/resinous, even slightly smoky, but all of the substances dance together in a very tender, soft and clean manner indeed. This fragrance transforms gently only into something little warmer and very lightly (but luxuriously) floral (but still also very woody) and all of that happens in a very smooth motion. Dignified and sophisticated, this fragrance is also somehow calm and pure, with almost pristine crispiness and gentle, natural sweetness of all the plants. Correction: I have applied Prada Tendre for the second time and just really enjoyed the fragrance not thinking about it any more, when to my great surprise - a few minutes into wearing it I have suddenly realized that I am surrounded with very fresh, abundant, beautiful lemon! So there it is! I don't know how come I have not noticed it before :-)

I was lucky to get a part used bottle fairly inexpensively - I think this is rather beautiful. Very classy indeed. It does start off fruity - but not in a citric blast sort of way - rather a gentle waft of mandarin and neroli. What comes next, as many have pointed out, is a soft warm cosseting scent with everything seemingly gently put together - no harsh notes here - patchouli is soft, jasmine beautifully soft and doesn't explode on my skin and drown out the other elements! The tea notes, the benzoin, the vetiver, the cardomom and labdanum all work amazingly together. I don't seem to get any cedar at all - for which I am thankful...! It's not an overpowering fragrance - more suited to the day being fairly inoffensive and does sit close to my skin after the initial burst. A good all-year long perfume. Simply beautiful....!!

It's sweet, the scent of white flowers and some citrus. Spring to summer scent to me. Kind of good for day or night occasion, though I would prefer something more woodsy and certainly more vanilla. It's a pleasant scent but nothing impressive. Sillage is moderate too. A good addition to my collection, mostly because I wanna know what Prada's frag is like. I am not planning to buy another bottle. Because I prefer floral, spicy, and non-citrus fruity scent. Still, I think this frag would be a good fit for someone who likes citrus and white floral scent. Update: the scent builds. After the dry down I can smell cardamom (kinda reminds me of Versace Oud Noir, which has a strong oud scent). And it gets a more masculine vibe than I thought? (because of that cardamom and my association with oud)

First, I think you've got to LOVE woody notes to appreciate this one. The opening is citrus and tea, but those notes fade immediately and become extremely soft. I understand why some reviewers say they can't smell it on themselves. It's very, very subtle. From sniffing my wrists I get almost nothing but the woods, however, from simply inhaling the air around me, I catch lovely, tender little whiffs of the flowers, tea and herbs as they waft upward to my nose. It's definitely not something to wear to be noticed or make a statement, but you and the people in your life who hug and kiss you will likely enjoy it. I also recommend layering the body lotion with the EDP. It smells slightly different from the EDP, but compliments it well and helps with sillage and longevity.

I love this! It smells so woody and masculine when sprayed, but it quickly settles into a vetiver, light jasmine, light citrus scent with a warm background of tea. It's so well blended though that it's hard to discern individual notes. I think the best way to describe this is delicate, it's really pretty. Even the dry down is very delicate, which even though the cedar is there, it's very much tempered by the sandalwood. The patchouli is also very light and the benzoin again makes it warm. I think this is definitely something to wear straight out of the shower, it's just so beautifully fresh yet warm. I imagine wearing this with a light cotton dress and taking morning tea in an English garden.

BEATUTIFUL simply beautiful... with fresh neroli in a lemon shower, Prada Tendre introduces itself to me ! Light crisp like rain in a forest of lemon trees.... The heart reveals a nice true jasmine with cardamon, I love cardamon ! In this stage it is like a subtle mix of Alien sunessence mixed with a fresh summer scent like versense or light blue. Enchanting and not too soft, on me it stays and lingers a long time. My young daughter seems to love this on me, says it smells strawberry, but theres no strawberry note, anyway, I am happy she likes it too! Nice to have you in my wardrobe and now I want to stay tendre for a while .... Thanks to lovely mara_g - who let me try this !

Absolutely love it!! One of my all time favourites! Feminine, gentle , embracing.. A bit of an update , looking at comparisons and opinions... I first bought it a couple of years after it came out , finished the bottle and moved on,but I never forgot the fragrance, last year(2020)bought it again because for about 12 years I never smelled anything that even comes close to it. So bottom line is , to people that say , "nothing special" ,well obviously it is special if it's one of a kind. There's not many perfumes that are in their own league,but this is one of them . How is compared to Chanel I will never know!!

It's one of my signature scents. All the spicy notes including an underlying clay stay with me on the dry down. Initial application is like a barrel of chemicals but when you wait for the dry down it's like a slice of Holy Temple. It only takes a drop on each wrist - any more you will pass out. The longer it sits the rounder and softer it becomes. For those who can wear this BRAVO. It isn't for everyone - thank goodness !!!

The original Prada is a bit too strong. Even though I like strong scents, for some reason, I just feel it's too overpowering. Then this one came along... I have to say it's quite beautiful and has presence, smells feminine, amber-y and I can smell the resins in the dry-down. You, wear Prada Tendre. And on the other hand, the original Prada, wears you! I use this one as one of my favorite day-to-day fragrances.

I love this. It is very reminiscent of Coco Mademoiselle once it dries down, but better. As much as I love Coco M there are moments when I can't really stomach it. Prada Tendre is just as sophisticated, lovely, and feminine in my opinion, and it lasts just as long. They are not exactly the same, just enough to be in the same category. Classy and sophisticated. :)

Prada Tendre is beautiful!!! The opening gives you no hint at all of what is to follow, its a delicious enchanting surprise. The drydown is indeed similar to Coco Mademoiselle but there's just enough difference to make it worth having both in your collection. I could wear this every day and never get bored of it. My new favourite, and a definite must-have.

This is a lovely dark yet warm scent. Perfect for an evening out on the town, Prada Tender captures the essence of cosmopolitan chic. The scent is similar to coco m and flower bomb but can and does hold it's own. I absolutely love the bottle and the use of the vaporizer gives it a feel for glamorous old hollywood. A must for the vintage romantic at heart.

This is a nice warm, balsamic, fresh, but also dark & earthy fragrance. And just a little too sweet for my preference. I think in the cold season, it is both very uplifting and soothing to wear - it reminds me of a cup of strong tea with sugar and a drop of milk. In summer I find it too heavy/sweet. But good for a night out.

Really good-quality scent. Resembles Coco Madmoiselle, but "softer", more vanilla-like in an elegant way. Actually it turns so vanilla when drying down on my skin! I would recommend it for cool and cold days, not really a summer perfume. The lasting power is quite good, stays really long on hair and clothes

This exudes a powdery warmth, and reminds me a little of honey, oddly enough. Extremely well blended, I wear it when I want to ooze confidence. Strong and yet soft, assertive, yet classy. I get a strong Jasmine from this, but the citrus notes keep it at bay.

Warm floral with subtle woody undertones. Sophisticated, rich, classic, ultra feminine. This is how you imagine old French parfums would have smelled. As it dries down and oxidizes over time it just smells better. Do not judge this one on the initial whiff.

Girls, please, who knows, could you tell me if there is a big difference between Prada Tendre and new Prada Amber Tendre?? Used to love the first version! I used to have original Prada and liked it but after smelling Prada Amber version.....(((

Really good luxsoap frag long lasting elegant superfeminine smell all day long draws meny compiments its fresh but its strong its clean but its heavy in the same time very very PRADA in a good way and i love all prada parfums!

Woody, resinous tea- a perfectly juxtaposed combination of warmth and freshness; rich sweetness and herbal dustiness; upright elegance and youthful energy. Amazing!
