Perfumes LIKE Prada Candy?

I used 100 points toward the mini roll-on Prada Candy. Loved it so much on my first try that I went and ordered the $125 set of the perfume,lotion, and large roll-on. THEN I read some pretty bad reviews about how really only you yourself can smell it, and it doesn’t last long. I’m bummed cause I love the scent, but I need something stronger. Anyone have any recommendations on scents similar? Looking for something warm but sweet... good for the fall and winter but still pretty and not overbearing. I just finished my bottles of La Vie Est Belle and Black Opium, wanting something different.

I'm looking for a similar scent as well. my English professor wore it sometimes, she was several feet away but I could still tell it was Prada Candy. what's it called, the Doppler effect except with smell instead of soundwaves? Prada Candy reminds of caramel chews, but with the plastic wrappers still on for some reason. I want a fragrance that's vanilla-caramel goodness unwrapped! preferably without floral or citrus.

Re: Perfumes LIKE Prada Candy?

Some people can't smell certain scents or become "nose blind"; that doesn't mean that the scent is the problem. Some people can't hear certain frequencies. It's just how things go.  If you're enjoying your fragrance, that's all that matters! Layering your scent with the matching lotion will make it last longer though.

 

More sweet scents to sample at Sephora: Viktor & Rolf's Bon Bon, Mugler's Angel Muse, Fresh Brown Sugar, and ToykoMilk Tainted Love. There's Pink Sugar too, but Pink Sugar Sensual is better IMHO. I have an insane amount of perfumes from all price categories, but Pink Sugar is the only one my husband has ever complimented.

Kenzo Flower L’elixir is compared quite a bit with Prada Candy. It’s a bit sweeter and not as powdery as the Prada, which I personally preferred. It really smells divine. However at least on me it only lasted about 6 hours. Other good sweet perfumes are Guerlain Gourmand Coquin, which is a boozy chocolate scent. It’s very strong when sprayed but once it dries it’s no where near as potent. It’s very pricey, so do try before buying. I find this one lasts 10 hours closer to the skin. Another sweet one that last long (and is much cheaper) is Secret Genius by Pinrose it’s a sweet vanilla caramel scent. Last sweet one I’d recommend is Misteriosa by Salvatore Ferragamo, this one is extremely sweet and strong but so beautiful smelling it’s a vanilla berry scent quite warm and fruity. This too lasts incredibly long. Hope I’ve been able to help give you some ideas.
