Prada Candy Gloss by Prada

It’s a pure, intense, and cloying maraschino cherry. The trail and longevity are high, so if you’re not a fan of ripe cherries, skip it. Because it’s so potent, it feels a bit synthetic, almost like a liqueur. In the dry down, the cherry and almond dominate. It’s a very special perfume; don’t buy it blindly. I’ll try it in winter to see if the cherry feels softer and less artificial on me.

Prada Candy Gloss brings me back to cherry lollipops and gum from my childhood. I smell the cherry, but as if it were in syrup. Here, the cherry is the star; the vanilla and almond are very shy. It’s sweet but not cloying. If you want to smell pure cherry, this is your perfume. I like it, but it’s not my style; I see it as very youthful and cheerful for daily wear. In autumn and spring, it lasts about 8 hours with moderate sillage. I gave it several chances and… I just can’t handle it. I find it very synthetic, artificial, sweet, and fruity. I like smelling it on someone else, but not on myself. Scent 8/10, longevity 9/10, sillage 8/10, packaging 7/10, versatility 10/10, value for money 9/10. Would I buy it? NO.

If it’s not the perfume I’ve given the most chances to… it’s horrible for me. When I spray it, I get hit with a strong alcohol blast that reminds me almost of Chinese nail polish, and once it dries, I have to imagine the scent. I don’t understand anything.

Olfactory diabetes, but bad. My pH is sweet, so it feels much sweeter on me. I made the mistake of wearing it on a hot day, and now I get dizzy smelling it. Headache and nausea. Regarding the perfume, it’s rich and pleasant if you like very sweet scents. It lasts a long time at least on me, but don’t buy it blindly or you might end up hating it.

I’m in love with this fragrance. I adore its maraschino cherry vibe. The only downside is the longevity on my skin, though it remains one of my favorites.

Honestly, I’d been searching for a 100% sweet perfume for a while, since most sweet scents have a citrusy touch. I fell in love with it; the moment I put it on my skin, I felt an urge to eat cotton candy. The scent feels incredibly edible. Longevity is moderate. The only downside is the high price. Luckily, I bought it blind at half price for the online store.

Oh, I’ve fought with and made up with this perfume several times. It’s a special scent, I’d say yes. It’s a sweet cherry note but quite natural, not overly sugary or artificial. The vanilla and almond add maturity to a scent that could easily be childish without them, yet it doesn’t feel that way. Every note is indispensable for its balance. The gloss comes through at the end as a detail, making it cheerful and tender without losing elegance—truly worthy of Prada. The notes appear one by one like a feminine journey, tender, sweet, and fresh, with a touch of orange blossom. It adds softness and tenderness without being childish; even someone older can wear it. I think that’s what makes it special and well-crafted. It feels like it can’t get any more feminine. For me, it’s the best in the Candy line. On cool autumn, spring, or summer nights, when a breeze carries my scent, I feel amazing. I love it more each day.

Pure acidic cherry opening with a touch of talc. Lasts about 4-5 hours and the price in my country is amazing. It’s become an addiction; I just love that cherry scent. 😍

Out of all the Prada Candy flankers, this Candy Gloss is my favorite because I feel it’s better crafted and more structured. Cheerful, sweet, flirty, simple, nothing intrusive or invasive, and informal. What I perceive most is the cherry, peach, and almond. A few days ago I gifted it to a coworker and I’m delighted she loved it (the $80 was totally worth it).

Really delicious, sweet, and fruity, but on me it smells like guava, so I don’t buy it; it seems weird to me, it doesn’t fit my age. I tested it on a girl under 15 who hasn’t really started into perfumes yet (I hope she never gets addicted like me, haha) and she loved it; it smelled like a bag of candy, it made her smile. However, it only lasted four hours for both of us.

Casual, innocent, fun, playful, and flirtatious… that’s how I describe it. It’s a rich and jovial fragrance. I loved it; it’s a blend of guava, cherry, almond, and rose… Very pleasant, super sweet… Testing the longevity and sillage, which is good for an EdT. I don’t regret buying it. The cherry gloss scent… Ugh… it reminds me of my childhood.

It’s something sweet and addictive, like smelling liquid cherry lip gloss with a bit of almond. I think it’s the most long-lasting in the Prada Candy line.

It just hit our stores; this Prada fragrance can be defined as the most gourmand in the Candy collection, a bomb of flowers, fruits, and pastry spices, especially the fusion between vanilla, cherries, and almonds, which honors the name Gloss since its scent represents a bar of cosmetics… Juvenile, flirtatious, and exuberant.
