The fourth kiss. No, I meant the fourth candy. Candy kiss. Candy Kiss… oh, I’m tired.
Of course, I’m tired, because it was yet another little adventure testing this fragrance. Prada Candy belongs to the scents that come in cute, pretty bottles and look colorful and beautiful on the shelves. And as a guy, I have to brave those shelves!
So I dressed in all black like a special unit to approach the women’s fragrances (in my head, “something” kept humming the Mission Impossible melody). Suddenly, I realized that I had made a fateful mistake. The aisles are flooded with light, most of the women’s bottles have bright and colorful shades, everything somehow shines. And me in black stands out even more!!!
Well, my small stature is still a slight advantage for me. Crouching slightly, I scurry from shelf to shelf and am glad that the candies are in the farthest corner where no one can see me. I approach, look around, have almost reached the Kiss, and suddenly a lady turns into my aisle. Nooo! Never mind, I have to wait. The lady, a bit too heavily made up, comes closer and stops right at the candies. “No, not the candies!” I think to myself, but she reaches for the Angel, which is right above the candies. Almost as expected, she sprays herself for three minutes, all over… I almost want to shout after her: “Lady, you forgot your hair!”. Suddenly, as if she read my thoughts, she stops, I gulp in shock, but then notice that she is just checking the price of the Angel. Yes, yes, the fragrances aren’t cheap, right? And then she grabs the bottle again and gives herself a few more sprays…
Never mind, when she finally leaves, I look around one more time, grab the Candy, and spray my arm full. Since I’ve learned from past mistakes and don’t just vanish with a small spray, I spray my whole arm FULL before I make my escape.
I occasionally have to hide my dripping wet arm from enemy contact (= women), but I still manage to get a good impression of the scent, which I will now describe:
The scent:
The scent starts with musk. It is heavy or dark sweet, which also applies to the neroli. Combined, they create a dark, sweet fragrance that smells very pleasant. The Prada Candy DNA is only slightly present and is noticeable mainly through the musk, but Candy Kiss smells quite different from the other Candys. The typical Prada “soapy” note is also only slightly present here (yes, yes, the soap haters can breathe a sigh of relief!).
As I said, the Kiss smells darker, not as cotton candy sweet as the regular Candy. And it’s not floral fresh like the Candy Florale either. Maybe Kiss leans a little towards Candy L’Eau, as you can also smell the musk well in L’Eau, but L’Eau is not as dark, rather fresher.
A little later, vanilla mixes in, making the Kiss a bit heavier, but like all Candys, it smells excellent. At the very end, the fragrance does acquire a sugary note in the background, but the musk continues to dominate with the vanilla.
The sillage and longevity:
Despite the dark sweetness, I found the sillage of the Kiss to be rather subtle. The scent will be noticed by you girls, but it won’t leave a large fragrance cloud behind.
The longevity didn’t seem very long to me either. It lasts a maximum of five to six hours, but unfortunately not more.
The bottle:
The bottle is still the same bottle, just in a different color. This time, the color scheme is very successful and looks beautiful in its pink and white tones. The upper band with the golden Prada lettering is white and has gilded edges. The umbrella-like cap or spray head is also white with a golden lower part. All in all, as always, very well done.
Like all Candys, you can’t go wrong with the Kiss itself, but you shouldn’t expect a scent that smells like caramel or cotton candy or sugar, as it is more musk-sweet, thus a bit darker, but also more seductive.
I wrote that the scent is heavily sweet, but it’s not really heavy, so it can be worn in all seasons, even in (not too hot) summer, and is suitable either as a casual scent or for going out. For partying, I would still recommend the regular Candy, as it smells a bit stronger and significantly sweeter and yummier (and lasts a little longer). The Kiss, on the other hand, is more suitable for seduction, for a date, and such occasions. Well, at least in my opinion.
As for me, I think all Candys are absolutely great. All women must smell wonderful with these fragrances. Therefore, I think you should definitely test this scent, as well as the other Candys!
Phew, mission accomplished. All Candys have been tested and commented on :D
Come on, what are you still reading for? Go test.
And give me a kiss if you liked my comment :)
