Prada Candy Kiss by Prada is a Amber Vanilla fragrance for women. Prada Candy Kiss was launched in 2016. The nose behind this fragrance is Daniela (Roche) Andrier. Top note is Musk; middle notes are Musk and Orange Blossom; base notes are Musk and Vanilla.

The house Prada is launching a new fragrance in February 2016. Prada Candy Kiss belongs to the collection of playful gourmand scents Prada Candy, which includes the original from 2011, Prada Candy L'Eau from 2013 and Prada Candy Florale from 2014. In 2015, the Candy Kiss Collection was introduced, consisting of the three original scents in practical mini bottles of 20 ml.

Prada Candy Kiss, the new fragrance, channels the addictive nature of the Candy composition and enhances its characteristic scent of musk. Inspired by obsession and repetition, Prada Candy Kiss is designed to re-activate emotions and impressions. It evolved from the idea of creating a loop of sensations out of a single signature note wrapped around the body.Musk in its signature purity is omnipresent in the composition; from the upper notes to the base. It evokes delicate white cotton in a sensual fragrant cloud, enriched with uplifting notes of vanilla and orange blossom. The fragrance is developed by Daniela (Roche) Andrier.

The face of the campaign shot by Steven Meisel is model Lexi Boling. The fragrance will be available in bottles of 30, 50 and 80 ml.

I just wanted to come here to say that after ordering a sample of this after seeing it compared to the scent of Morrocanoil products, it is NOT a dupe. There's something really artificial and candy sweet in this (hence the name), which is not like the deep, rich, clean amber of the Morrocanoil scent, which is subtly sweet but in a fruitier way rather than a sickly sweet way (I think I detect a bit of plum). I hope the company will release something stronger than their body spray, because nothing really compares to it and I'm sorry to say, this isn't it. I can see how people would compare the two and if your nose isn't too sensitive, you may miss the differences, but I'd say they're distant cousins, not twins.

What a beauty this is ! Haven’t tried it on test strip but on my skin it’s very linear but it’s pretty nonetheless. I get a light makeup sweet powderiness on my skin with the very light orange blossom , and a light musk. This can easily be an everyday scent , but it has an elegance to it that makes it very likable and can be inoffensive for work settings. I love that it’s so fresh and light; not too sweet, musky or floral. Just a light touch of everything with a makeup powder twist that I adore. Perfect for any season and time of the day, lasts about 4 hours on skin with an arm length projection

Katelynl88

I didn’t like this when I first tried it but I grabbed it off the shelf recently and for some reason it just smells a lot like the Prada candy night to me , maybe with a little orange blossom ( I can see the tiniest similarity with the ldbs and orange blossom and sweetness) . It’s very cozy and soft . Very musky and sweet, the same kind of musk you will fin in narciso Rodriguez perfumes . It’s a great evening or lazy afternoon perfume . I didn’t like the candy pop one ,, I still need to try the gloss . I love the og and the night version and now this one

LotsofLisa76

This is a light airy musk with not really as much vanilla as I was hoping. It’s hard to find in store. Discontinued?… I found in bulk on the shelf at… the duty free stores while on vacay of course! It was a good mix of on vacation, when I know it’s 30 degrees at home. Currently just wearing around the house. Held up well in the heat, but seems to turn to vapors in the cold. I’m going to give it one more try until I put in the spring/summer storage shelf… I still think the middle eastern and niches have changed my nose to expect a lot more from fragrances. I got my nose on more of the newer PDM’s and Dior PC’s on the ship and almost fell overboard.

bubbles151416

I love this. It’s a soft, light orange blossom vanilla musk. It’s gorgeous. I have found myself reaching for this fragrance often - my favorite way to wear this is layered with Nemat’s Vanilla Musk oil. The longevity could be better, but the scent bubble is pure heaven.

purplesugar

I can’t help but be shocked at the reviews saying dryer sheets lol this does not smell like laundry whatsoever! Unless they changed the scent! The last I smelled was 2017 and I know it came out in 16. This is one of my fav scents I ever smelled! It’s sweet but not total gourmand and its warm and creamy and orange creamsicle delight:) it’s not complicated, it’s not obnoxious, you won’t offend anyone next to you, it’s safe and absolutely delicious and addicting. When I’d go out with my boyfriend I had a ton of perfumes but this is the only one he said how good I smelled! It’s perfect date nite or alone with yourself night scent! Ps I own a lot of perfumes and this baby beats out my Chanel chance bottles, yes they smell good but they have a sharpness to them, but not so with candy kiss, it’s so soft like a whisper…just picture getting a warm cotton t shirt out of your dryer, lifting it up to feel how soft it is on your face and noticing a subtle sweet scent of orange sprinkled with a pinch of delicate sugar and some musk to give it depth , it’s that awesome

Safira

This is indeed all musk. Soapy clean and inoffensive albeit quite generic and boring. Prada Candy Kiss reminds me of my least favourite aunt who has a pretty mean streak. I guess she must have worn some kind musky perfume - and while I don't dislike the fragrance - I dislike it reminding me of her. Fortunately, musk must be the easiest fragrance to layer, so I'm sure I'll find some way of bringing good use to this perfume while eradicating the reminiscence of her.

13Sweetness

It’s a perfume that remind me of the 90’, old fashion, no depth. To me it’s horrible. I wouldn’t recommend it.

Stephaniex44

I agree with all of the comments. It is somewhat airy, elegant. It's not for me personally. It's too musky and has no depth. The tiniest hint of vanilla too. Laundry detergent lol. It's strong

SakuraArt

This one is pure nostalgia. It takes me back to my highschool years and my older sister's vanilla musks that she would spray all over her room and car XD. I have a decanted sample and I think that's all I need of it.

ontario_77

I use 3 bottles of prada kiss and I bought last 3 bottles in the store it's discontinued .One of my favorite parfumes all time

silvertealight

the opening smelt synthetic at first and i think it might be the pineapple. it kinda reminded me of those “scented” barbie dolls you had as a kid that smelled like perfumed plastic!!

the dry-down is beautiful though! the orange blossom gives it that “clean” “fresh laundry” scent but it’s still slightly floral and powdery. the musky notes are not overpowering which is surprising because the top, middle, and base notes all have musk!
it has a “vintage” vibe to it but in a 90's runway supermodel way, not in a "grandma" way.

UPDATE: the silage is moderate, but lasting power on my skin was weak and faded after 1-2 hours so i don’t think i’d buy a FB.

scent.2go

Dawnya yes...its been discontinued

Dawnya7b

They have recently removed this from department stores. Does anyone know if it’s getting discontinued?

Juhhcarneiro2

fluffy fairy scent, this is so perfect, vanilla musk whit a little bit of orange blossom, this is the perfect scent, I will definetly recomend for those who like innocent and long lasting scents, a little overpriced since this bottle just come with 80ml and cost the same as the others prada with 100ml.

Jennaflareon

This is my all time favorite scent. It so soft and gentle. It sits close to the skin and is just comfy and beautiful. There is no sharpness in this one and in comparison with other musky scents (for example Narciso Roudriguez) its really good.

Jujas

This is simply B-E-A-Utiful!!

Clean and fluffy. Sweet, but not overtly so. Musky for sure, yet manages to avoid becoming too animalic on my skin; a perfect balance that’s very hard to come by for me!

I have Candy and am virtually anosmic to it. Not so with this little luxurious slice of fresh out of the shower, cottony goodness. Dare I say even FB worthy? Possibly. Especially on days when I just want to feel light and airy without having to overthink it; again back to that musk issue I have. This is the perfect solution.

EDIT: So.. longevity is an issue. While I stand by my initial review, I’m thinking a FB may NOT be the best investment. I did find a wonderful companion to this; D&G Pour Femme. Both have that same cottony, musk base and smell absolutely heavenly together. PF gives CK more depth and better longevity. Still remains more of a skin scent, which some days that’s exactly what I need.

jdb_

This is a very powdery soft fragrance, borderline clean laundry scent. I knew it wasn’t suited to me at first but I did find it a bit addicting. The big indicator of my final decision was when my fiancé said it was something his Nene would wear…LOL. It does give off that vintage powder elegance that could read old-fashioned or baby wipe-ish. I ended up wearing it as an actor choice when I played a romantic lead in a play set in the 1930s.

scnofthcrime

I can absolutely see the comparison to Moroccanoil shampoo, this isn't exactly the same. To me at least, Moroccanoil has more amber and slightly more pronounced florals, but these are definitely more similar than dissimilar. I don't really get the comparison to Love Don't Be Shy as this doesn't have marshmallow or super prominent orange blossom like LDBS. Not as clean as NR Pure Musc (which is much more clean and laundry-ish).

What this fragrance is about is fluffy musk, slightly warm. Lightly sweet, but this is no sugar bomb (and I don't get any caramel like in the original Candy). But that's kind of it. I like white musk and find it comforting so I like this, but it isn't anything revolutionary or super unique.

HerGoldenSecret

I bought this blindly, and was initially very dissapointed. I love the Bodyshops White Musk and Pure Musc for her by Narciso Rodriguez. But last night I was at a concert and got whiffs of this. And it was so lovely! Got completely envelloped in this beautiful scent. It has its own personality, its not complex, but just so lovely. A bit more cold and more light than Pure Musc by NR. I’m so happy to have this in my musk collection. Perfect for any musk lovers ❤️

MonicaLV

Smells like a sweet clean musk. Like just out of the shower type scent. Reminds me of a soft Oscar de La Renta Esprit D'Oscar. I love Oriana by PDM (orange creamsicle) and read a review that said it had those vibes and Kilian Love Don’t be Shy (marshmallow). It does not, so if you are a gourmand lover and like those fragrances like me, this is not it. Definitely not worth the higher price tag and waste of money.

churinl

Just made a layering discovery I thought I would share. I recently became intrigued by Brazilian Cheirosa '62 body Mist at the recommendation of a fragrance buddy. Since it smells identical to the brand's Brazlian Bum Bum Cream, I put some on my arms, thinking it might be a nice scent to wear while falling asleep. I'm not big on layering, but for some reason, I impulsively picked up my bottle of Candy Kiss and gave my wrist and arms a few spritzes. It is so gorgeous!! I don't know what the musk brings to the picture, but I can tell you I love them together even more than I love them separately. Candy Kiss is so ephemeral on my skin, like many musky tend to be. But the cream gives it something to latch on to, making it much more noticeable, increasing both the longevity and projection, while CK lightly tones down the sweetness of the cream.
I was going to purchase the body spray, but instead I am just going to purchase a large jar of the cream instead. I think it will work well in the autumn this way!

PS - reading through the reviews, I see that I am fat from the only one who finds this to be great for layering!

vibrant.girl

this is a "Love Don't Be Shy"-flavored LaCroix... if you know what I mean. It's nice, but it's soooooo wispy and musky that I find myself craving more scent. I can think of 4 people in my life who would love this as a signature scent, and if you're a collector of Prada or the Candy line, I think this is an awesome addition. I'll be gifting my mini dabber to my cousin, who'll probably make this her summer scent (she's a LDBS fanatic in the cooler weather).

vixxiimcmlxxxvii

just wanted to note, somewhat expanding on what nothoughtsjustvibes said, "An extremely luxurious dryer sheet;" i'm not into layering much because i genuinely enjoy fragrances as themselves, in their purest form, but I was wearing Libre EDP the other day and toward the evening after I got off work I put on PCK and I definitely smelled like the most amazing laundry. the expensive laundry detergent quality of Libre and the rich-girl dryer sheet vibe of PCK go soooooo wellll together!

luanneog

Musky, powdery and syrupy sweet. I can smell the orange blossom but it has a synthetic, medicinal quality to it. Similar to a sweet car fragrance.

Allthingssmelly

A love at first sniff. This is so airy, pretty, gentle and sweet. It Is not too flowery and the musk is not heady. I feel pretty wearing this. I only wish it lasted longer. This was a blind buy I don't regret. It's perfect!

Mattesha Erotica

What a surprise this one was for me. With the name “kiss” i was expecting something much more seductive, but this unexpected clean linen, sunscreen, fresh type of fragrance took me for a loop. I cant believe what a white musk bomb it is, but i find the orange blossom and vanilla defiantly counter and balance that white musk in a unique way that smells sun screen-y; making this perfume feel super summery to me.

Not a flirtatious scent like the name suggests, just a super fresh safe fragrance with very professional job interview type vibes. I wanted to really love this but i find it unmemorable (like most of the Candy line sadly), a very rare grab from my collection. If i were to rate it, id give it a gratuitous 6/10.

Jemmcy

This is one of my absolute favourite fragrances that I keep coming back to over and over again. I wear it alone or layered with other fragrances for some extra sugared feeling.

Peaches&Cream

A clean white floral fragrance that is intimate yet, lasts 6 hours. It is a light perfume that can be worn in any environment and not be offensive. It is a easy layer , I decided to layer this with sunflower from bath and body works.

elliegirl

I blind bought this fragrance due to the reviews, and people comparing it to Kayali’s Musk 12. Although, I don’t find them to be comparable. I think Candy Kiss is a better comparison of Love Don’t Be Shy due to the similar feminine sweetness. This perfume isn’t a dupe for LDBS, but I feel like it’s a muskier, less (sickeningly) sweet fragrance. If you’re looking for a more wearable and inoffensive alternative to LDBS, I think this one is worth trying.

The vanilla and orange blossom notes are not lost among the musks. I think this is the perfect balance between a fresh linen-like musk and a soft vanilla. This is one of the most feminine, innocently sweet fragrances in my collection. It’s an easy reach and I think it would be great for any season and setting. Despite the similarity to LDBS, I don’t find Candy Kiss to be cloying or obnoxiously loud, so I think this would be a safe crowd pleaser. I could definitely see Elle Woods wearing this!

This is a great scent to layer with if you want to sweeten a heavier fragrance. I like to pair it with my loud perfumes to help round out the scent profile. Whether I layer Candy Kiss, or I wear it on its own, I get compliments from women and men.

The performance is amazing. It lasts for about 8 hours and the projection is about arms length. I typically only have to spray a couple times at my neck and on my wrists for it to perform well, and I don’t have to reapply throughout the workday.

Candy Kiss can be found online for well under retail price, so if you’re into blind buying, I think this would be a safe option. 💞

jward03

I think I'm in love!!! It's such an easy reach fragrance. Some scents I have to be in a certain mood to wear, whereas I am always in the mood for Candy Kiss! It's so clean, yet sweet and comforting, and way better than the original Candy in my opinion. This just might become my signature scent!

that1makeupgirl

I wore this in high school, and it reminds me of Kilian's Love Don't be Shy. Inoffensive, clean. Very far from the original Prada Candy - in the best way (sorry, I'm a hater).

nothoughtsjustvibes

An extremely luxurious dryer sheet. My favorite kind of fragrance.

singlehandedbeauty

This is a gorgeous, sweet and fluffy orange blossom scent with a hit of Prada Candy musk (no caramel). I really enjoy this scent profile, but I own Jean Paul Gaultier's Pin Up which is much more complex with that spicy hit of ginger. Prada Candy Kiss projects really well and has outstanding performance without feeling cloying or aggressive. This is definitely a crowd-pleaser without being boring. I will be passing this on to my mother who is going to absolutely love it. (She owns and adores JPG Cabaret, again, similar profile.) This is so much better than Killian LDBS and for this less than 40 euros, it's a steal.

Katelynl88

I never realized before but this smells very reminiscent of kilian ldbs . The same white florals and sweetness . A less fruity pebbles version. Maybe a little musk from narciso Rodriguez pure musc, I’ve had this one for a while but it’s not a love so I haven’t reached for it much but my tastes change constantly, maybe I should try to use it more , especially now that it’s warmer out.

chimidoro

I've been wearing this since it was released and, along with the main PRADA CANDY, in my opinion it's the best of the bunch.
I've always tried out whichever new version is released and I've liked a few but only actually purchased the original, the golden alternative bottle original and PRADA CANDY KISS.
This is a gorgeous sweet, soapy, lactonic, musky orange blossom scent. I love it. Suitable for all ages. This could have been THE Prada Candy Florale. I was less keen on that version, this is the floral version of Prada Candy for me.

kmyers846

It's a powdery vanilla scent with a hint of orange blossom. You can wear this during any season. It's long lasting with a moderate sillage.

TheScentedNotebook

I'm a huge fan of this. It's light and summer/daytime/office appropriate without being completely boring. It can be layered or worn alone and will leave a softly sweet and feminine trail.

I now have both this and Kayali Musk 12 and while I do find the musks and the marshmellowy sweetness to be similar, I much prefer this one. This one has a bit more maturity to my nose and feels like a complete formulation whereas Musk 12 feels rather flat and unfinished to me. I know that Musk 12 is meant to be layered so maybe that was intentional. Very happy with this purchase!

vixxiimcmlxxxvii

I’m here because of Moroccanoil, it’s true! Actually I’m here because of one’n’only hair products (which happen to smell exactly like Moroccanoil products, but I didn’t know that until recently). I’ve spent a long time looking for lotions and perfumes that smell of one’n’only until I tried Moroccanoil and found they smell alike. Luckily a lot of people love this scent and ask around for other products that smell of Moroccanoil! Of COURSE it was in the forum! And so, I bought Prada Candy Kiss.

And I’m so elated I did! Yes it smells like Moroccanoil. But better, stronger! So much so, that I’m convinced they’re in cahoots. And I believe this comes in a hair perfume as well? But Prada Candy Kiss comes with longevity that we all know Brumes de Moroc could never have being a simple body mist; this is what caused me to seek it out, I knew there was no use purchasing their mist if I could find this scent in an EDP. Feminine, clean, soft and cozy. Fresh. Sweet. But not warm, and not cool. It’s such a uniquely simple scent. This will be a staple for me as long as it exists…Cashmere Mist, you’ve been replaced as my out of the shower/going to bed scent. Sorry, not sorry! My tastes have so wildly changed since my last pregnancy and this is a welcome addition to the cleaner, powdery, soapy scents I newly love.

Edit: I have to add that this has become a signature scent for me. It’s so beautiful and just-right. Sweet and clean. Warm but cool. Buying a backup bottle has become a new every-other-monthly expense and I’m fine with that because I won’t be without it! It’s the one I reach for when I can’t choose, when I need a hug, when I want to feel (not just smell) good. I wish I could have this scent in everything; my clothes, my home, my car, everything!

victoriawaterfield

I've just bought a sample of this. It's so confusing because it SHOULD smell like an old lady but just doesn't. Beautiful light scent. Smells a lot like soap or 'clean cotton' and would go well in the heat. The musk isn't sharp at all no matter how deeply you smell it.

NadiaKamil

Easy reach, soft, feminine, clean, sweet, powdery.
The perfect everyday scent!

Dee97

This is my go-to scent for casual settings. It’s perfect, smells like warm fresh laundry with some sweetness and it can work all year round. It’s soft but it still lingers, I get around 6-8 hours on my skin and it lasts even longer on clothes. I love this and will keep repurchasing for as long as they make it.

MelissaKS

This is such a simple, yet pretty fragrance. It’s exactly what the notes say: a powdery/musky and slightly sweet orange blossom. On my skin, it sort of reminds me of a sunscreen scent that I grew up with (Coppertone maybe?). It’s not at all like the OG Candy, which I also love. Perfect when I want some light and clean smelling.

This is what I wish Memo’s Sintra smelled like. That one has too much sweetness combined with too much neroli and petitgrain (I love those notes, but sometimes they’re too strong). It’s almost headache inducing.

A lot of people here are describing it as fluffy, which is right on the money. That’s the perfect adjective for this fragrance.

Bgdxo

This smells like clean skin, warmed by the Sicilian sunshine, walking thru the orchard, picking fresh oranges and plopping them into your suede satchel. The freshness of the orange blossom rounds out the vanilla, making this never ever cloying. I used to practically bathe in this. No longer my signature scent but I will always love this and have in my collection. At first, its a blast of sweet, powdery, orange blossom, in the most refreshing way. Dry down is yummy, mouthwatering vanilla and musk. You will get whiffs of the orange blossom every now and again. A very whimsical fragrance, if there is such a thing.. and it makes me feel fresh and uplifted while I wear it. Love.

miaomiaou

A fluffy, creamsicle cloud. Very soft and pretty, but you must like orange blossom and musk because that is all there is really! It's not too sweet either, just sweet enough. I've been wearing this non-stop this spring as it is just so, so versatile and garners compliments easily. I bought a 2.7 oz and I'm already halfway through it, because I've been wearing it nearly every day. I find Narcisos too powdery, but this is perfect! And if you're looking for a MoroccanOil dupe, this is it, but imo is better because it lasts longer.

islandgirlmaranda

Wow! Just wow! This is SO DANG GOOD! I can't imagine a day or time I wouldn't like this! It's so fluffy and sweet. Orange Dreamcicle Fluff. It is a little like Kayali Musk but this is more sweet!!! I own both. And love both. But this is truly an amazing sweet musk.

Apaolone04

I’ve had this perfume for awhile now, I kinda go back and forth on it. I remember testing it at Sephora and originally thought it smelled like cotton candy, even my friend said so too. When I got home and sprayed the fragrance I smelled a whole bunch of musk that I didn’t initially get. If you ever smelled Narciso Rodriguez perfume it’s like that level of musk, but still very sweet and feminine. My favorite time to wear this fragrance is bedtime because it’s just so nice and comforting. It’s really strong too, if I spray these on my clothes it’ll last for days. One time made my whole closet smell. When I wear this fragrance out though, it’s a different story. I find it to be quite boring which is also how I feel about NR perfumes. I think I’m just not into the heavy musk scents personally, I love gourmands and I prefer the original prada candy over this.

raesmells

This is the only Prada in the Candy line that I can stomach. Not a fan of sweet scents, but this will do on the days I want more sweet than usual. Do not over spray. It is a musky floral sweetness that is easy to overdo. This is too much for me in the heat, but on a cold especially dry day it really shines. Just one spray and it is there all day. Excellent projection and sillage, the best in my collection of skin scents. If Flowerbomb, Lancome Belle, and all those make you ill, this may do the trick if you are searching for a tiny bit of that style. Definite suntan lotion smell in this.

Bessthemess

If I hadn’t let my fragrance obsession get out of control, this may have become my signature scent. It is just sooo lovely! It reminds me a lot of Moroccanoil, which is a scent I’ve been trying to replicate for a LONG time. It’s very fresh and musky but not musty or stale. It lasts a long time on my skin and does even better on my clothes, and others can smell it wafting when I walk by if I spray enough. It’s lighter and less offensive to some of my coworkers noses and will be a staple in all seasons.

SophiaViolette

Very pleasant opening, sweet musky with white florals.
Not much develops after, some milky vanilla in the back, gets a hint soapy but clean like fresh laundry. But the type of “soapy” and “musky” it reminds me off is a mix of MFK and Narciso Rodriguez.

This could easily be a signature scent and versatile if you’d like to layer on top with a stronger perfume additionally.

Super feminine delicate fragrance that reminds me of being wrapped in a fluffy white baby fleece sweater on a warm spring day surrounded by trees covered in cherry blossoms.
It is slightly powdery, slightly vanilla, slightly sweet, very creamy and oh so girlie. A woman of any age can wear this.

camibabyy

Musky & powdery with a hint of orange blossom, then the vanilla starts to creep in. Like someone said below, it remimds me of being an angel walking on a cloud of cotton. perfect description!

When I first sprayed it, I was overwhelmed with musk, and I love musk. It was too linear. But after sitting with it, I started grabbing it more and more, because I started to see the delicate nuance of it. Citrus floral, wrapped in musk with a breathe of fresh air that is vanilla.

A girly girl who wears all pink will love this as a signature scent, but I also see a femme fatale wearing red lipstick and all black wearing this on occasian.

I don't get clean girl scent from this because there isn't enough floral in it. Nonetheless, it's whispy and airy, and perfect when I want to smell feminine.

Heidis328

When I first tested this in sephora I loved it!! Smells like stale soda to me and I am loving it, it is long lasting too. Lovely perfume.

lechickpea

I've spent a few weeks with this fragrance and suddenly it clicked - this smells like Armani Si Fiori! The widely beloved and sadly discontinued Si Fiori. To my nose they are at least 85-90% similar - maybe the Prada has a bit more cottony softness and the Armani is a tad fruitier. But honestly, I'm starting to wonder if I need both. If I declutter one, it'll definitely be this Prada Candy Kiss, because the longevity is far below average.

Oh and for anyone wondering - this has nothing, and I mean *nothing* to do with the original Prada Candy. This could easily have been released as a standalone fragrance.

JoyousOne

I love Prada Candy so much. I was shocked to see this as a tester in Sephora. I was hoping this would have some familiarity to the OG, but there is none. Oh well.

Amy Budiman

Sweet but not overly sweet, i think the musk pretty much balances the sweetness. Interesting how the scent doesn't really change from the 1st initial spray, even until half an hour later, unlike many other perfumes. Like all the notes are just blended and we can smell it all at once. Really love the smell tho.

NDL

Definitely the maturest from the Candy Line…. And this smells identical to Moroccan oil 😍

stephanienwc

Wow! This one is gorgeous. Very very clean white musk that brings out the beautiful top notes of orange blossom so it's a bit summery. Not too sweet, I would consider this more in the musky family rather than Gourmand. The ultimate Clean Girl.

jjluvsm9

An unexpected love! I’ve tried the other perfumes in the Prada Candy line (OG, Night, L’eau) but this one is my favourite. On my skin this is an orange blossom bomb, enhanced by some fluffy clean musk. This is actually a very nice kind of musk for a designer fragrance. It’s a little sweet, very orange blossom, very light and fluffy. Lovely! Only downside is poor longevity for an EDP (3 hours max) and sillage is weak.

I love her, but I've grown out of her. I have a full 2.7 oz bottle for trade.

churinl

I have a rollerball kit with OG Candy, Candy Florale, and this one. For some reason, I never got around to trying any other than the original. I just tried the other two. While I really like the other two, I fell in love with Kiss! I am a huge fan of Daniela Roche Andrier and her work for Prada, though I do find that every one I owned or have tried suffer from poor longevity. I'm happy that in this instance, I have the rollerball to carry with me to touch up.
The musk is like cottony clouds holding the type of orange blossom I enjoy and just enough vanilla for sweetness. Musk can be so problematic, and while I'm not completely anosmic to it (thank goodness) it does seem that I get nose tired rather quickly. My biggest disappointment in that respect is Chanel 1957, which I find achingly gorgeous but can not smell even a trace within 15 minutes. This one seems to hang around longer, and I think that spraying it on will only help it since this is one I think I can spray rather heavily without disturbing anyone.
I think it would work well as an office scent as well as an every day type of "spritz on your way out the door without thinking about it" fragrance. I'm honestly a little surprised and very happy I picked up this little kit quite inexpensively on eBay. As much as I do enjoy Prada and DRA's creations, neither Candy nor it's flankers were on my radar. I think it was just a matter of the name and the fact that the original is a gourmand, which is not my favorite style of fragrance. I'm glad that I've been proven wrong, as I find all three very appealing. I just happen to like Kiss the best!
BTW - as is the case with most white musks, this is a skin scent, with very minimal projection and no silage of which to speak. I'm going to spritz some in my hair to see it that helps. I don't want to scream, but I like to be softly fragranced.

Oh wow!!! Prada Candy Kiss is the prettiest perfume I've run across lately! I'm not a giant fan of the OG Prada Candy; I like it, but just don't think it's *all that*. But when I saw Candy Kiss at Nordstrom Rack for $50, and read the Fragrantica reviews, it sounded like something I might like. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, it's the most loved of all the Prada Candy flankers by Fragranticans, so I thought I'd give it a try -- especially since it has orange blossom, one of my favorite notes.

The moment I sprayed it, I knew: this one is a total LOVE!!! As a perfume lover, I have very wide-ranging tastes, loving older and newer creations, and Candy Kiss reads slightly vintage to my nose -- conjuring up a picture of a 1930's boudoir complete with silk stockings and pastel-colored satin robes edged with fluffy feathers. A fan of fluffy, feminine musks, such as Georges Rech Muse Poudree, La Perla White Iris, NR For Her, and SJP Lovely, I was instantly intrigued. In fact, as I sat there in my car, sniffing the back of my hand, it hit me that Prada Candy Kiss reminded me of my Favorite Perfume for All Time, Guerlain L'Heure Bleue. They share an orange blossom note over musk, with a base of vanilla, giving both a delicate confectionary/candy aspect (of course, Candy Kiss lacks the anise, almond, and incense notes of L'H B , so you certainly can't say they smell the same). Anyway, Prada Candy Kiss immediately pulled at my heartstrings!

Just like so many reviewers have said before, Candy Kiss is fluffy and sweet but-not-too-sweet, and is simultaneously simple and complex. While it's delicate and does not project prodigiously, still, throughout the day it produces a lovely scent bubble that glows for many hours (maybe 6 or so?) without respraying. It's elegant but intimate, feminine and understated, sexy but not in any obvious way, just classy and comfortable in your own skin. For me, it's equally appropriate for snuggling at home on a cold winter's day or worn to an al fresco dinner on a hot summer night. What a lovely creation it is! THIS is what I live for, as a major perfume fan: stumbling on a scent that just sings to me...! :)))

d0llparts111

favorite scent ever! whenever i wear this, i feel like an angel flying above the cotton clouds. reminds me of baby powder too. innocent, cute, feminine and quite comforting in my opinion. its not overwhelming at all (as long as you dont over spray ofc) lowkey smells like cotton candy. my boyfriend loves this on me and says i smell really pretty when i wear it <3

Lidell

Smells like old-school lipstick. Dunno. :I

I was in Sephora today asking about Libre La parfum and they don't have it in stock yet. Takes forever for my area to get anything. So, I sampled this and Marc Jacobs Daisy Love so Sweet. The Daisy perfume was a swing and a miss, but Marc Jacob's usually is w/ me. This was a pleasant surprise. I don't care for the original Candy or the Candy night. I gave them both negative reviews here. Candy Kiss is nothing like those 2 fragrances. This starts out w/ a nice friendly type of animalic orange blossom which I really like a lot. And what I mean by friendly is animalic for beginners. Then as the fragrance progresses it becomes a sugary musk w/ quite a bit of the lovely animalic orange blossom still attached. Sweet but not overly so, musky w/out being a musk bomb and floral w/out being a floral garden (I love florals BTW but many people don't) If you are someone who wants to dip their toe into animalic fragrances, or you are a floral hater but want to try a floral that will work for you Prada Candy Kiss would be a good way to go. I might be adding this to my collection, I really like it a lot and it is the type of perfume you can wear anytime, anywhere and in any season. A real easy dumb reach.

Nay0711_

I looooove this one, is very powdery and in my opinion very different from the original Candy, I don’t really like Caramel in perfumes, but this one is sweet but not overly sweet, is just perfect!!
I would say is also a safe blind buy if you like powdery sweet scents

Croatian.Girl

My favourite perfume. It smells like makeup and powder, which i love. Must try, very easey, unisex, and light.

meganlamode

I blind bought this - I love a musky floral and prefer simpler scents, plus I love the bottles in the Candy range. The initial spray places this fragrance rightfully into the Candy line, as it smells like orange Pez candies to me. However, it's not caramel-y like the original Candy, and also not sickly sweet. The musks are clean and keep the sweetness of the vanilla in line. The dry down is intimate and a bit powdery, making this a nice, inoffensive fragrance for everyday. It feels perfect for anyone older than a teenager who still loves a sweeter scent. Now I'm interested in trying out the rest of the Candy flankers.

ETA: I realized this smells EXACTLY like The Naked Bee's Orange Blossom Honey lotion. Not sure how well-know or accessible the brand is to others, but I thought I'd put it out there. The lotion could be great for layering and making Candy Kiss last longer.

clarapadoa

Candy Kiss is intimate. It says it in the name. Its notes have a lot of Musk in it but its a clean white Musc that's not too powerful. I was given candy kiss when I turned 13 and I LOVED IT and still do. It gives me clean girl vibes but also has a hint of flirt in it if that makes sense. I think that comes from the musk. It's definitely more playful than mature. It is fresh but not too fresh. Smells like something comforting and clean and slightly fluffy but not as powdery as Narciso poudree. I think its quite similar to Narciso Poudree but slightly more young and fairy like. Quite enchanting. I can't remember what the sillage is like but I have some lovely memories associated with this perfume. Reminds me of fairytales!

Dawnya7b

I have had this for a few days now and upon first spray I thought it was beautiful! Its soft fluffy- ultra fluffy! I can smell the orange blossom and in the dry down i can smell the vanilla. The must is such a clean beautiful musk. Its just so nice! This is what my clean fresh-out-of-the-bathtub babygirl smells like and I adore that! And this lasts on skin for so long. I sprayed it on my shoulders at night and when I woke up the next day I smelled it! Its sweet and just lovely clean sweet and lovely and feminine and just ugh so cute! I wouldn't pay full price for it as it doesn't really project. Its a very long lasting skin scent from the beginning, which is fine but not for $100 plus. I got mine for half of that which i think is fair. I am very pleased with my blind purchase and will be buying another once I run out.

MimesOtto

I like this one, very different from this line. It is musky clean faintly floral, it has a classy fresh feel suited for work and places where people have sensitivities and whenever you don't want to wear perfumey scents ( all about the musk). Moderate performance.

Volatile

A gently fluffy white musk with a hint of orange marshmallow, it’s clean but not too clean and sweet but not overly so, it’s serious and playful at the same time. A fragrance of many contradictory characteristics that luckily balance each other out, makes for a very pretty and delicate skin scent.

jbsherry

Delicious & musky orange blossom.
It has just the right amount of powder from the orange blossom paired with clean, feminine musk.

I do get a hint of the original Candy DNA, but it’s subtle. I think I prefer this flanker to the original.
It does not read juvenile as the OG might for some.

Lovely and light, yet it has enough of a presence to leave an impression.

olaszczepanik5

This is a love for me...
I blind bought this and I was quite disappointed and surprised at first smell. This is just like baby wipes?? I didn't want to believe all the previous reviews..
But somehow I am in love with this!!! It grew on me within an hour :D
It smells so clean and I've been using it everyday after shower, especially spraying in my hair. I love to layer this with my "Boldly Seoul" fragrance for Zara for a doubled powderiness and I'm excited to try some other combinations as well.
I just adore when my hair catches wind and I get hit by this beautiful, clean, powdery scent.

Definitely do sample this before buying a full bottle. <3

Maleficent's cotton candy

I like this perfume a lot. It’s expensive for what it is, but it’s nice. Lightly citrus, marshmallowy musk. Not as sweet as Cloud. It’s cleaner. This smells nice in my hair and it smells great layered with Sundazed and Soilel Blanc. I was hoping for a more intense fragrance when I purchased it, but I find myself thinking I smell good every time I get an unexpected whiff of it in my hair or hoodie.

Candylover666

I got myself a tester bottle so I paid a bit less than I should’ve but first: I love love love the bottle of this perfume, it’s so cute, elegant and chic.
Second: it’s a very pleasant orange blossom, musky scent, the vanilla seems to be hardly detectable.
It’s quite light in my opinion and perfect for summer, smells amazing if you layer it with strawberry body spray.
Not my favorite perfume in my collection. It’s quite basic to be honest and not long lasting at all. My boyfriend said it smells like deodorant but not in a bad way but probably not in a way that means I’d ever pay the full price of 100$+ for this perfume.
On me it lasts a maximum of 2 hours.
You’ll like this scent if you’re a fan of clean, simple sents because this one definetly smells like it.

princesslopez4890

This was a blind buy. I was looking for a nice musk I could wear to work. Impo This is smooth, gentle and gets the job done. Perfect for layering. It’s sweet but toned down and subtle not loud or cloying. I could not get with the OG but this one is perfect for me.

AmoreProfumi

Use to have this one back when it first came out (only had the kiss size) which I didn’t even finish and ended up giving to my sister.. just recently found myself sucked right back to this lovely and have been liking orange blossom more.. and I love musks and vanilla so 🥴 luckily I work in a perfume store and we haven’t been getting this in anymore so I swapped up & bought our tester (large bottle 3/4 full) for a very excellent price! 😏👌🏼

Vellocet

Blind bought this because I love soft, powdery scents. And i’m not disappointed. Musky, orange creamsicle as others have described it. Lovely! Perfect summer fragrance. I think this is very close to narcissos ”poudree”. I would say even a dupe (or dupes?) in fact, although in the same price range. Even though the very simple and few notes Candy kiss is made of it is sophisticated and fairy like. Sweet, but not juvenile. Very elegant! Beautiful sillage as well. All the thumbs up!

NoorbBelgium

Flowers, musk and vanilla... nothing else is needed.
It's not a special fragrance or unique in any way, but these 3 notes are everything that is needed for a fragrance to be lovely. It's so clean and I get a lot of vanilla which I love

baby_lotus

Blind buy on a big discount-- it's ok. It is a pretty basic clean powdery musky scent with orange and vanilla there. Nothing to write home about. I do, occasionally, layer it with others. I will use it up and/or pass it on.

ETA (7/31/22:) I have been putting a dent in it and I'm actually finding myself liking this. Especially when layered with Versace bright crystal. So clean and light and green but powdery and airy. Gorgeous.

Lykopa

This is literally just musk, with a dash of white flowers. Also there is this chlorine scent to it that I just do not enjoy. It reminds me of sunscreen and has almost a balmy smell.

TunyaPe

OMG I LIKE THIS!

It is that familiar scent of Moroccanoil Conditioner and Treatment that I have been using and fell in love with!
Candy Kiss is just a bit more musky, powdery, and clean when you sniff close to the skin, but wow the sillage is very similar. I am so happy!

I was thinking about getting Brumes du Maroc by Moroccanoil but did not go through. Big thanks to a member 'raw umber' who did mention the danger of Vitamin E Acetate (Tocopheryl Acetate) which is one of the ingredients in it.

Candy Kiss is absolutely intimate, smells like soft delicate skin in an exotically pleasing and in the prettiest way but still projects and managed to get positive reactions around me, and so it is not a skin scent. Very far from cheap screeching and crisp musky linen laundry type. The bottle is not to my liking but is 100% my to-go scent!

P.S. This flanker is totally different from the original Prada Candy that I tested 10 years ago and disliked.

SailorV

I was not bothered to try this for years, even though I really enjoy the Candy line, just because the notes list sounds so plain and simple and didn't catch my attention. Well, sometimes simplicity is best!
This is such a beautiful floral musk for everyday wear with a lovely gourmand twist. It's very creamy and not as powdery as the original Candy. The musk is soft and feminine, the vanilla has a sweet caramelized undertone that I love and the orange blossom adds freshness to the scent.
This is similar to Kayali's Musk, but not exactly the same. Both have that nostalgic vibe that reminds me of sweet drugstore musk solinotes of the past in the best possible way, but the addition of orange blossom makes Candy Kiss special. I also get a hint of Kilian Love Don't Be Shy here, as if Candy Kiss was a more subtle and understated little sister to LDBS. It could be subtitled "Love, it's okay to be shy".

I don't have performance problems with this at all. No, it doesn't have a strong sillage, but if I wanted that I would simply reach for a different kind of scent, not a light musk. The longevity is surprisingly good on me, it's noticeable for many hours and the final skin scent even lasts overnight.

JMSTONE

I think the orange dreamsickle everyone smells, I may be perceiving as grape? This smells like powdery flowers, a little musk, and a hint of what I would describe as "grape smarties"....creamy powdered grape candy...but just a hint. Not offensive at all, something I might wear to church, or a PTA meeting, (neither of which I actually attend) school, or just at home on a comfy day. Light sweet and I think good for any age

karlikarli

To me this smells just like sunscreen but a touch sweeter. I read the notes and they do make sense to me, I just don’t think the musk notes are the strongest like the list is implying. I really like this scent, reminds me of the summer time.


EDIT:
So i wrote my original review on 2/26/22 and now it is 7/10/22. The longer I let this sit on my shelf the sweeter it started to smell…I can now really pick up a sweet vanilla caramel note. It 100% changed over time and the notes list now makes a lot more sense to me.

Spencemonster

I don’t get musky. I get a stale orange-creamy fresh creamcicle. Like a orange sherbet. Very fresh. Not very good to my nose. A bit off putting and a bit like a countertop cleaner.

katwastaken

I bought this because it was said to smell the same as Morrocanoil. This is only vaguely true. In this regard it's totally disappointing.

If I wasn't specifically looking for a Morrocanoil scent but had come across this I would have been immensely pleased. This is a gloriously soft and powdery scent. It is in fact a kiss. A soft demure kiss, placed gingerly and lightly.

Longevity is 6 hours max but also somehow the type that lingers on a jacket for weeks or is in the spot you sat on in couch in. Sillage is somewhere between Intimate and moderate.

This is truly a beautiful fragrance if you're into the really soft powdery types. I will definitely buy this again.

ivonne.flores

Actually from the candy collection, this is the one that I liked the most because of its simplicity and at the same time a touch of sweetness. Besides, when i smelled it i felt soapy and a touch of white flowers, so it's a little floral, this fragance is perfect for the afternoon and maybe work, it's a simple fragance

realitygreene

Is this truly just musk, vanilla, and orange blossom?? It smells a bit more complex, but maybe I'm wrong. The musk in here is very soft, almost delicate. I thought I was well acquainted with orange blossom, but I'm second guessing everything now because this isn't just standard musk or standard vanilla so I am wondering if the orange blossom is really powerful and affecting how the musk and vanilla come off. I could be way off base, but regardless, this smells really good. I sprayed this on my skin and on my clothing and tbh I didn't love how it smelled on my clothes, but my skin smells fantastic. I think I'll add this to my maybe wish list, the one I keep for those fragrances I really like, but don't necessarily want to prioritize buying at the moment. However, if I catch Prada Candy Kiss on a spectacular sale, I might not be able to pass it up.

By the way, for those wondering, this smells nothing like the original Prada Candy which I am not a fan of. I don't enjoy the benzoin in Prada Candy, I'm happy to see it's not in Prada Candy Kiss. The bottle really matches how it smells, I love when that happens!

This one is a winner, I really could see myself adding it to my collection some time in the future. I really love how subtle, delicate, and feminine it is.

edit: I thought I edited this review a long time ago to add that this smells just like the Moroccanoil brand hair oil! Love it!

babylasagna

To begin, I am NOT a fan of original Prada Candy. Too gourmand and cloyingly sweet for my taste. So I never paid attention to any of the flankers. The only reason I checked Candy Kiss out is because I received a free sample of the Moroccan Oil hair & body mist with an online order at Sephora and was reading reviews of it; I found more than one referencing that CK smells “just like Moroccan Oil”. I love the MO aroma, so I smelled Prada Candy Kiss at Sephora out of sheer curiosity and purchased it the same day. I was blown away at first sniff! Honestly I do find it somewhat similar to MO, sure, but Prada Candy Kiss is so much better it honestly isn’t even a comparison in my mind.

ANYWAY BACKSTORY ASIDE, this is SUCH a gorgeous perfume. I am shocked it does not get more attention and praise. It is just the loveliest. It is the most well-done, subtly sweet, appropriately simple, intimate fragrance I have come across. Now musk is one is my favorite notes, it should be known, and Candy Kiss is very musky....but not in an….old school heavy Jovan White Musk way; but rather in a very soft, delicate way. I pick up on the vanilla note and it adds to the subtle sweetness, it is a very light clean vanilla. The only other note in this, orange blossom, adds an element of freshness.

I find the name "Kiss" to be very fitting of this perfume; I keep repeating adjectives here (and will continue to), but Prada Candy Kiss really is like a soft, subtle, delicate, warm little kiss of such a beautiful aroma.

I love wearing this anywhere anytime anywhere, but I especially love wearing this one at nighttime while lounging on the couch mindlessly watching TV after a long day of work and/or chasing my toddler around/also to bed (yes I wear perfume to sleep, part of my nightly ritual); it is just so extremely cozy and comforting.

It should be stated that due it's soft and delicate nature, the silage is very close to the skin. As far as the longevity goes, it isn't the most potent and therefore the most long-lasting, but the beautiful musk and warmth and intimacy of this perfume sticks around for a few hours on my skin.

Oh man I just love this! I really really hope Prada never discontinues it. I love having this in my collection. It is just so special to me. AGAIN I AM SHOCKED IT IS NOT MORE UNIVERSALLY LOVED AND TALKED ABOUT

eau de dosa

I have both this one and the Night flanker. They have the same dry down except there’s more creaminess to Night. I by far prefer Candy Night. I’m getting rid of the Candy Kiss.

faunaaa

There’s something incredibly alluring about this fragrance. It gives a vibe of intimacy with the musk and vanilla, but at the same time, it has an air of playfulness and innocence with the orange blossom. I find it to be a more youthful fragrance. It smells like the most expensive suntan oil on the initial spray, and on the dry down, it has a unique aroma that’s creamy, powdery, musky, slightly sweet, and fizzy. This is a very inoffensive fragrance, it’s light and almost a skin scent. The only downside for me is that it doesn’t last very long. Maybe a few hours at most, but by then, it’s barely detectable. Would be great for layering or everyday casual wear. Definitely one of my new favorites!

MarinaJade

I'm so so confused with the names... This one is Candy Kiss in a big white bottle, but there's a small pink bottle also called Candy Kiss. If I received a rollerball... How do I know which kiss I have??? 😭 Help

harperpeshhe

I am really enjoying this one, a lot. It opens up as a sweet musky candied orange. It instantly reminded me of something I’ve smelt before in my past but still can’t quite put my finger on it but it’s good. Moreish, addictive, dare I say sexy. Yes. This could cause your significant other to go weak at the knees. It settles into a yummy creamy musky orange and sweet sweet vanilla and my gosh the longevity is fabulous. 10 hours after my initial spray and she’s still there.

DIVxINE

I usually don’t go for vanilla frags since they make me feel quite lightheaded sometimes, but this one doesn’t even smell that much like vanilla on me, the orange blossom is more prominent and of course the musk. It’s light, a tad bit sweet and delicate, i love it. The vanilla only comes hours later but its subtle. It does smell a bit like sunscreen in the beginning (like others have said) but its still a really nice scent !! Been around 24h now since I last sprayed it on my arm and I can still smell it ^^

xmikax

This is a strong like for me, so I’m voting love. This really does open up sun-lotiony. It smells very coconutty and beachy (the coconut smell runs through all the prada candy flankers from what I can tell) but dries down into a lotiony musk, which I really like. I think if you’re looking for a suntan lotion scent (along the lines of Beachwalk by Maison Margiela, Soleil Blanc, etc.), then this id a very good one to have! Again, the dry down is nice and maternal. It’s soft, clean, and creamy— like a lotion. Very comforting and cozy. This is a very casual scent, good for wearing with jeans or whatever. I think this could be a good signature scent as well :) Only drawback is the longevity, but if you get it for a discount then I think it might be worth it.

Edit: the longevity is fine imo. I’m still getting whiffs of the drydown nearly 5 hours in. It’s a skin scent, but still noticeable and very nice-smelling. My boyfriend like this on me.

BewitchingJasmine

A sweet, vanilla and orange-blossom scent with a super dose of musk.

Sweet enough to be playful, musky enough to not come off childish.

Hd_Diana

The scent was very familiar when I first tried this but I couldn’t figure out what it was because that day I was trying too many perfumes. Wearing this for the second time, it hit me: this smells just like vanilla cake batter…yeap!… I can smell the egg yolk mixed with sugar, vanilla and milk…and the fluffy beaten egg white…

Edit: drydown is just musk

kuramarose

This is my go to beach/pool scent. It has that sunscreen smell on me, so I couldn't imagine wearing it for anything else, but it's also very sexy. I just love wearing it in the sun.

LEM922

Oooo.. this is SEXY, in a light, soft and alluring way. This is a really intimate, yet delicious fragrance... one of the ones you spray behind your ear before a romantic rendezvous. Unmistakable "candy" DNA, however I cannot compare it to the original. I had gotten sugar pop last year and was severely disappointed, but this redeems the candy flankers for me. Really enjoy this one, I can't wait to leave an impression on someone with this. The only gripe I have is the longevity; I don't mind skin scents but this is extremely fleeting.

Pat_Chouli

This is the best thing I've ever smelled, and it instantly became my new signature scent. It's sweet without being cloying or childish, and sexy without being overwhelming. It's light and fresh, yet creamy and warm. It's a perfect, versatile balance and fits in for all seasons and a variety of occasions.

clairesque

The opening of this is like grape candy, but the dry down is a powdery, musky scent that's uplifted by the orange blossom. It's surprisingly interesting, intoxicating, and sensual, yet not at all loud. It kind of gives me the impression of a super-sweet perfume applied in the morning that has faded and mingled with your skin's scent by the end of the day. It's not as sweet as the original Candy but I still find this flanker a bit too sweet for my preference.

TabledThoughts

Very pretty,
charming and
feminine.!
Orange blossoms joyfully folded into a musky hug.
The vanilla adds a hint of sweet but not the sugary variety. Perfect.
I blind bought to include in my musk collection and I am very glad I did.
Solid 10 for me.✨

katierose4260

This was an amazing blind buy! I was torn between this this one and Candy Gloss and I picked right. This is a musky fragrance with sweet vanilla and a hint of orange blossom. It is a little powdery, but mostly musky sweet. I have already gotten a ton of compliments! Musk is an attractive note, so if you are going to hangout with your love, they won't be able keep their hands off of you!

Zombie Apocalypse

What was I thinking blind buying this? Just looking at the notes I should have taken head.To me its a husky synthetic musk and nothing more. This is just the husk of musk or husky musky with some orange starburst.🤣😂

clairesque

Impression from a tester strip: It really does smell like candy - Like those Japanese milk hard candies but in a musky, kind of sensual way. I'm really interested to see how this wears on skin.

stigmataxe

I can't even describe how good this stuff smells on me. Goes on powdery at first, but as it dries down it becomes a fruity and sweet orange blossom scent. Smells almost angelic. Let it be known that I am a chief hater of all floral scents. Most so-called "florals" do not smell like a flower at all to me- more like violent, sharp, and pungent imitations of a flower. This is exactly what I want in anything with floral notes. It's a beautiful soft scent, like sniffing a blossom in spring. Not at all like a cheap body spray or old grandma perfume. It's sweet and fruity without being overwhelming or tacky. Doesn't project all that much, but I hate it when everyone in the room can smell me so it's perfect in my opinion. Sprayed it at night and I could still smell it on me for the entire next day, and best of all- it didn't bother the people in my life who are sensitive to fragrance! Definitely my new signature scent.

Analucy78

To put it simply, this to me smells a lot like Love by Killian, if you want something alike and don't want to spend too much, Prada candy kiss is a great dupe. Smells like orange popsicle, along with marshmallow and musk. It is a very pretty feminine scent !

cassiesta

It's not a complex set of notes, but don't let it's simplicity fool you. It's not groundbreaking or the best perfume out there, but what it is is nice. It's pretty and great for spring. It's orange-y vanilla with some DNA, a kind of powdery quality, it shares with Prada Candy. These are quite different besides that DNA. I'm not sure about all the musk in the notes listed, but I thought this was orange but I guess that's the orange blossom.

Now that I've expanded my range of spring and summer perfumes to double or triple what I had when I first got this, I don't reach for it as often as I used to. It's on the lower end of perfumes I love. It's a good reach for day time when you don't want to fuss about what perfume to wear. I honestly do forget about it now that I've found so many more perfumes I love more, but I still would wear this every once in awhile and would like more than just the small rollerball I have now.

Zombie Apocalypse

Unfortunately I really dislike this perfume. To my nose it smells like 2 seperate perfumes that did not really blend well together.One being just synthetic husky musks (sweaty gym socks) smell. And the other being an indistinct floral artifical car airfreshner. Combine these 2 smells together and IMO you have this perfume. This was a blind buy but a definate.. No! I dont think this is a safe blind buy, especially for people who love fine perfumery and complex scents.

Dashalu

I’ve never really liked any of the Prada perfumes (nor the candy line), until the Prada Candy Kiss came out! I love it! It’s a wonderful “mom perfume” from the 90’s (which is what my jam is). If you love white musk, you might really like this one. Give this one a try even if you don’t like the other Prada Candy ones. This is one of my favorites/signature for spring. My man likes it too. It smells sexy without being too seductive or strong. It feels sexy, & light! It makes me feel clean and put together, and this one would be a good one to wear to work. The notes are simple and minimal here and that’s what makes it great. The quote “less is more” comes to mind here. It’s heavy on the white musk (which I love) in a soft feminine way! If you hate white musk, I would probably stay away from this. I agree that it almost has this “angelic light” vibe. It’s just so pretty. I can’t imagine someone disliking it. It’s so pretty and easy/lighthearted. & modern. I just love it. I also noticed that it smells exactly the same pretty much the whole time. You don’t really have to wait for it to develop. Of course it fades out more with time but from the time you spray to the dry down you pretty much know what to expect.

StinkyTinky

Prada candy gloss, one of my fellow fragrance lovers said it below- this has a lot of the dna of the gloss flanker. Enough that I didn’t see the need to get candy kiss in addition.
It’s pretty, but just not different enough for me

Sweetscents20

This smells nothing like the moroccanoil products. But it is fresh & musky in a girlish way. I could see a middleschool girl wearing this.

bovogie

This is a fresh spring & summertime fragrance. Smells like the Eau Fraiche version of Hollister‘s Malaia.

kingjoanna

smells sweet.. but gives me headache.

Bouquet Bleu

Like but not love. Feels more like haircare than perfume because it is the same scent as Moroccanoil hair products. Overpriced for the scent and performance. Nice safe day and office/school wear though. Will suit young girls and women as well.

Anamandy

I like musky scents, so this is a winner for me. It's lightly powdery, though nothing heavy, so I think it can be used year-round. It smells like the notes listed: orange blossom, musk, and vanilla. While it is very simple that doesn't make it any less pretty. If you like scents like Jil Sander's Simply Poudre, Library of Flowers Arboretum, Bellissima Intense, and other lightly powdery perfumes, chances are you'll enjoy this too. Contrary to the name, there is nothing excessively sweet here either. I think the amount is just perfect. Is it boring as some seem to think? Maybe, but so what?! Not every perfume has to be a dramatic, swooning, eyes rolling in the back of the head experience. Sometimes, just smelling softly pretty is enough, and this hits that sweet spot for me. If I have any regrets, it's that I didn't get a bottle bigger than a 1oz. I have a feeling I'll be using this a lot in the future.

Dissolved_Mind

That's pretty nice, but am I the only one who mostly detects coconut here? Like soft musky coconut?

I got the small one initially as part of a duo with the intent of getting the OG Prada Candy, however, this one caught my attention more! Initially thought this was too strong for my sensitive nose. I looked up the noted and it was everything I HATED in a perfume -- the musk and the white floral, particularly the orange blossom. But then I gave it another shot and I was blown away, especially when it dried down. It had superb staying power on my skin and my clothes, and it's true what people are saying about it being a man magnet! My man loved this on me! I would also catch myself sniffing the crook of my elbow where I sprayed it. It's addicting! As to how to describe the scent, I would say it's fluffy, sweet, clean, but floral, and "WHITE", almost immaculate. The bottle speaks for itself -- it's the color WHITE bottled up with a splash of sweet PINK at the bottom. I'm in love with this scent! Definitely my signature fragrance from now on!

I blind bought two Prada fragrances and both of them are huge disappointment, Prada la femme was a boring scent and Prada candy kiss is nothing but a powder and musk. It’s a very basic clean citrusy scent, the name is really misleading there’s no candy-like smell. Nothing special, no fragrance story, no silage, no projection, no longevity

Agnesca

This is the only one I know from the Prada Candy line and I'm very happy I blind bought it. The notes voted above are true to the scent, however, I think that there's a more going on here than just musk in top, heart and base with orange blossom and vanilla. My first thought when I sprayed this on was: This could be the lovechild of Today Avon and Drageé Reminiscent! I mean lovechild not dupes of either. Today is certainly way more floral with tones of other whote flowers and Drageé is more refined, gourmand and of course, less flowery. In the drydown the floral note fades a bit and that's good nwes for me, as while I like orange blossom, it can be a little bit overwhelming in great doses. The powdery musky note that remains at the very end of the life of this fragrance is a slightly animalic musk and at this stage I would even say that it's almost unisex. Fortunately, I don't associate with fresh laundry nor white cotton at all, but, you see, I don't use any fabric softeners nor drier sheets. That's being said I see how this fragrance can relate to cleaniness and I agree with everyone who stated that this smells like a warm (if not motherly) hug. This musky, sweet, floral and vanilla fragrance is one of the very few clean and calming fragrances that is just as appropriate on a date night, at work in the office, at home on a lazy Sunday as on an elegant afternoon cocktail party. it's absolutely tasteful and chic quite to the contrary of the 'Candy' name that makes me associate with a bit juvenile fragrances. This is not that at all.

DaniBear1121

This is a pleasant fragrance. I was expecting something amazing and sensual based on the reviews, but it's just not that to me. I get the powder, musk, and orange blossom. It's an intimate/soft sillage and moderate longevity. It's a little too powdery for me, though my husband and son like it on me. I prefer the original, and have Gloss on order, hoping that one is more to my liking.

rachcookk

This genuinely smells like Moroccan Oil hair products except more refined, and I am obsessed with it!

If you want someone to fall for you, wear Prada Candy Kiss on the first date. Candy Gloss has been my girl since it was produced and because of her I got interested in Prada scents. Ive been carrying a tester of this white beauty since 2017 when I had smelled Candy Gloss at Ulta, and Kiss was the one I also loved but its bottle was always empty. I finally bought a full bottle now lol. Intense white floral game here, I always thought it contains jasmine, freesia or gardenia because it is so aromatic and maybe a bit heady, so rich, like the night blooming white flowers that hypnotize you like a siren. Whenever I wore it I always thought it contains more than one white floral notes. There is something so alluring about this, so divine. I used to go crazy over such musky white floral scents and then I got into gourmands (oh boy) and forgot about her thinking 'eh shes just another white floral beauty, i like her but I need my almonds and cherries now', but I found my sample and have been captivated again and realized how unique Candy Kiss is.

A hint of sweetness accompanies the musk, delicious, even tho it is a heavy musky floral scent. It is an ode to orange blossom, which is that note which doesnt smell like a typical white floral note, but alot sweeter. Stays true to the name Candy. There is an addicting vanilla sweetness in this paired with all the creamy soft musk. The musk overload turns it deeper and almost like violet, like the deep sort of "plastic" addicting smell of violet and orange blossom of Britney's VIP Private Show, but here the notes are in perfect harmony, nothing off-key (something is abit off-key in VIP PS as much as I love it too)... and I notice the orange blossom here is the star too! I get that simple clean, crisp yet sweet powderiness. Not laundry-like at all. This would be my wedding day perfume. Very unique, pure and addicting. I am a lover of dreamy musk scents and shes the queen. On paper at first it smells alot like a violet-free, less heady Jennifer Aniston's Lolavie. Kiss is a cold yet sweet white-orange (in my mind) powdery floral scent that is not old-fashioned or too mature with a hint of that signature balsamic sweet Prada Candy note (I just noticed Prada Candy is described as "balsamic"). I consider it same league as VIP Private Show, Buckle No2 and Lolavie. Buckle no2 contains apricot nectar, candied amber and violet petals and its as violety as VIP private Show, but just like Candy Kiss, Buckle no2 is cold yet sweet. This Prada Candy line is high-end and well done yet so youthful. Candy Kiss is the most addicting, unique and beautiful musky floral scent.

Purchased this fragrance on a blind buy using reviews on this forum and have zero regrets. Shout out to the people below, you were all on point! I can't express enough how much I love it. I'm so surprised. The scent starts out floral and lightly powdery and slowly develops into this creamy, floral, cashmere sweetness. I feel like this fragrance fits any season and any attire. Personally I would wear this as my daily fragrance, messy bun, running errands and smelling like a snack. If you like floral fragrances that aren't too invasive and have an overpower sillage then this one is for you.

SuperSueChick

Creamy (not vanilla or buttery, but rather body lotion literal cream)
Powdery, and a tad hint of perfume floral.

It smells like a hug in a cozy Cashmere sweater.

Reminds me of a San Diego trophy housewife in her mid sixtys with a sunny, cheery, and spunky personality in the early Fall.
You ring her doorbell and she comes out holding her small terrier. You can't see her face because the sun is shining on her, but you can see her soft auburn hair recently curled and styled.
She's got the Bee Gees playing loudly in the background bc her PHD husband is working or giving a conference in Miami, NYC, or Brazil.
You see the cleaning lady thats like family smiling behind her just as happy to see you as well.
The woman at the door reaches out for a hug to greet you and complains that you don't call (even though you call her almost daily).
Ah yes, its mom!
This Prada Kiss EDP is a cornucopia of love, a hug and a kiss.
Its Mom <3

It's a slight touch of the original Candy DNA, a bit of fresh florals, some laundry musk, and a bit of freshness.

I really don't understand why these notes are together, but I appreciate it. However, they don't actually blend in my mind - the musk is extremely clean and laundry-esque. The almost caramel-ness of Candy is lightened considerably from the original, but it's recognizable. Pairing of what nearly smells like dryer sheets with that caramel and vanilla is a little strange, but it creates a clean, appropriate and inoffensive fragrance for anyone to wear extremely easily. The notes don't blend in my mind at all, and I alternate between smelling the cleanness and the gourmand, my brain doesn't interpret it simultaneously, and it seems incongruent. All that being said, I began to really like this after my 2nd wearing of it (and voted it as "like" instead of "ok"). It's kind of fun!

Longevity is really average and sillage is low, but that's alright.

ralidoncheva

Hello :),can i ask if Prada Kiss is approaching at lest a little bit like feeling to Tom Ford -White Suede -my favorite :)thanks in advance ;)

krishia_daniel

My go-to scent if I want something light to wear for the day. It's something I'd wear going to the mall or office or brunch. It's sweet and powdery but still smell fresh even though it has musk. I wish the sillage and longevity were better given that it's a mid-range perfume. I love how wearable this is without being offensive to anyone.

weirdhoney21

When I first sprayed this fragrance it immediately made me feel nostalgic, like being 15 again. A white sundress, your mom's perfume, shiny pink lip gloss. It smells a little like baby powder (in a good way), strawberry candy and orange blossom. The powdery, sweetness warms up so nicely on my skin. It's youthful but not in a typical way like Viva La Juicy or Pink Sugar.

I love the original Prada Candy and you can detect its DNA here but Kiss stands on its own. This will be my go-to spring scent for sure :)

8.5/10

Neckromancer

Super feminine, sweetly powdery, slightly musky white floral. It actually reminds me of JPG Classique, but without the spicy note and the soapy undertones. A little bit bubblegum-y, but in a powdery way. A little suntan lotion-y. Very girly. Reminds me of a pink bedroom with a canopy bed and pink mosquito nets.

CreamSunshine

Prada Candy Kiss gets a “like” from me, but gets a “holy-crap-that’s-amazing” from my husband. His reaction to it is actually incredible. A previous reviewer commented that her ex-boyfriend used to love this fragrance and cuddle against her when she wore it... that’s exactly what happened with my husband. He’s never reacted so strongly to a fragrance before. Out of the blue, he started literally nuzzling my arm and saying how great I smelled. A few days later I wore it again and he did the same thing. Now I own a full bottle, to wear on date nights.
As others have said, it’s a nice sweet laundry dryer-sheet kind of scent, which is apparently also pure catnip for human men. Get this if you’re trying to lure a guy closer.

genny17

I am so enjoying this one !! Kind of a soft clean musky scent, the orange blossom makes it more uplifting, more than just another clean scent, it gives it a springlike feminine quality..maybe this is a rather basic perfume, but it smells so nice..longevity isn’t great but it stays around like a fluffy little cloud of prettiness .

Tovah

The morning was gloomy. I sprayed Candy Kiss and sun sun began peeking out from behind clouds. Candy Kiss is a fluffy orange-blossomey confection that's both mood-lifting and sexy. It's happiness, joy, and playfulness bottled. The lasting power is impressive, and the orange blossom becomes deeper during weartime. It starts out nearly dessert-sweet, but it evolves into a sweet floral musk that's intoxicating. Love.

Swedelish

Oh this is really pretty.

It smells pastel pink, sunshine orange and white. A great balance of clean laundry musk, powdery sweetness like the powderered bits at the bottom of a bag of pink shredded bubble gum, and crisp orange blossoms.

Candy Kiss embodies what I love about Daniela Rocher fragrances. She never goes fully gourmand, which given a name like 'Candy' you'd might not expect. There's a delicate balance in her work that I've come to admire as my taste leans more refined & simple lately. Candy Kiss is just that. It's fast becoming my daily choice for spring and I'm finding it hard to put down. Also works wonderfully as a bedtime scent. Lasts decently and has a comfortable scent bubble. Love.

Angelicax1

I don’t know why but the smell of this kindof reminds me of Valentines Day conversation hearts candies. Slightly sweet, powdery, and cute. This is such an easy and comfortable scent to wear but it’s not boring. It makes me feel clean, fresh and cozy like a freshly bathed snuggly baby wrapped in a soft, pink blanket.

cherrybae

I almost feel like this was made for my skin. It's delicious from the first second, meaning you never have to "wait for the dry down". It last exactly six hours on my skin if I'm just at home, a little less if I'm out and about (maybe 3-4 hours).

It smells sweet but not in a vanilla/strawberry-shampoo-kind of sweet.

This is in my top 3 of all time. I absolutely adore it and can't stop smelling my self when I wear it. I have owned a total of 5 bottles so that should confirm my love and dedication.

This is the parfume people in my life love the most too. My ex boyfriend could literally not stop smelling me when I was wearing this one. Even my dad (the typical uninterested man) compliments me when I have it on.

It's like taking a bath in intimacy. I feel warm, safe, confident and sexy wearing this.

Nancymae

Modern light musk. Lovely, sweet and happy

eliego7

This was love at first sniff. I love the original Candy, and I find this one is the perfect spring summer version of the original. Sweet, clean, musc and orange blossom, it’s soft and very pillowy. I’m in love! This is ultra wearable, more appropriate for daytime.

patimbam

It was a blind-buy for me, once I smelled it - it was love at first sight.
I've seen a review where someone described it as a fresh clean laundry drying on sun and yes, I confirm that.
Great for the spring, also bed-time in my opinion.

Charlotterose93

Okay this smells exactly like the colorful rainbow soap that comes out when you go to the carwash... exactly like that

seungseobnim

This is one of my favorite perfumes! The musk and orange blossom is very prominent and smells kind of sensual on my skin when dried down. I don't really get the vanilla which is a relief since vanilla doesn't mesh well with my body chemistry. I think the lasting power is pretty good even in the cold winter. I've tried a lot of the fragrances in this line and I must say I like kiss and gloss the most.

bdragonfly12345

Wow, this is SOOOOOOOOO powdery!!!

Quite sweet, too, although the sweetness (not really "vanilla") seems to be separate from the scent. Almost like an ambroxan overload, with a slight leaning toward headache-inducing.

The orange blossom is definitely there too, but again, it seems so disjointed.

I don't mind it, but struggle to think of where or when I would wear it. Probably quiet weekends at home, on mild/cooler days.

lmwimsatt

Why cant they automatically delete the "similar" perfumes that are totally in the negative, so that we can more easily see the ones that actually have a positive vote or 2?!

Duft Liebe

I am very new to the Candy Line, but I find it really enjoyable and easy for any occasion! My personal ranking of the ones, I know:
1. Candy Night - dark chocolate, turning into sweet vanilla
2. Candy Kiss - lovely musk, turning into sweet vanilla
3. Candy Original - cool, not sweet, but a lovely caramel, also turning into a soft vanilla
(-) Candy Gloss I cannot stand, sadly. Now I know, what a plasticky smell is: plastic cherrys. The bottle is gorgeous.
There is this weak staying power to all of them, but with Candy Night and Candy Kiss I am fine (after spraying about 6 times...). As I am at home during lockdown mostly all of the time, I really don´t mind reapplying.
The line is really worth it trying out. There will be one flanker for everyone.

NicoleDiver

It's alright. Very forward orange blossom with musk looming in the background, after 3-4 hours vanilla begins to peek through. It's citrusy and creamy - very inoffensive, quite uneventful. It sits close to the skin, the longevity is short to moderate - certainly feels more like wearing a body mist/scented balm than an EDP.

Katou117

To me, this one is the best in the Candy line. The original has absolutely no staying power on my skin, this one though stays reasonably and is very soft and comforting. I love musk and orange blossom so this is a very nice combo for my taste. Second bottle, I had a 30ml and I got the kit 3x20ml and kept this one and the floral. Sold the original.

Tropicat28

This smells like White Musk or Skin Musk with orange blossom and the original Prada Candy DNA. I find it to be a very relaxing and a comforting fragrance. Like a mother’s hug.

alleycatseyes

Really delicate scent. I get more of a faint mix of Kai mixed with D&G 3 minus the pepper note.
I have tried most Parfum houses having spent most of my life around counters and I have to say I agree every woman should have a scent. It need be consistent not seasonal. And it needn’t be nauseating.
I like to spray a lot whenever, this is faint, in the car, the house, bag, love that.
Love it.
Great price for scent. Not synthetic- my bottle is clear Candy Kiss 💗💗💗💕🔮🔮🔮

Whify

A very soft, sweet, musky, daytime scent that does not last long and has minimal projection and sillage. The nicest Prada Candy flanker by miles. I like mixing this with sharper, drier scents to sweeten them up.

ellenm22

A sweet, cotton-y orange blossom... this is for people who just want to smell inoffensive but damn GOOD in an everyday work setting.

gisil

I'm really enjoying testing this scent after having owned the original Prada Candy. At first, it was difficult for me to figure out how this scent differed from Prada Candy. However, once I recognized the cotton blossom note, I found I loved this scent even more than its predecessor. The cotton blossom softens the scent without feminizing it.

As a 40-year-old teacher, I would wear this classy, dressy fragrance for work. It's not too sweet or overpowering.

Margarita Birda

It's not that it is a bad perfume, but the only note I am getting is a synthetic orange blossom, watered down and coated with powdered sugar. After 10 minutes I do not enjoy it. Longevity is poor, sillage is non existent. Not worth the money

Outidear

I really don't know what actually bothers me in this scent. But somehow it is annoying and nauseous. There is something very artifical in this, I can't say what it is. I love musk, I love orange blossom, I love vanilla, but this parfume does not appeal to me.

madamfleur

This a beautiful floral-musky scent with some warmth and fuzzy sweetness to it. The dry down is one of my favourites. I wish that it had a better lasting power, but I still love it nonetheless.

It also reminds me of Kenzo Flower, but this would be a newer and younger version of it. It is less powdery, more musky and slightly sweeter than Kenzo Flower.

Petals_and_Perfumes

04/19/2020 I bought a pack of 12 spray samples based off reviews here. My fave scents are ones that smell clean, fresh, soapy-shower gel, citrus, ozoney.

I hate this. It smells musky-musty, old fruit, wilted flowers, funeral parlor scent. I even smell a waxy, Barbie-doll note. It’s heavy on stale vanilla. Your typical dime store scent. I’m so sad. I wanted to like this but, no. I’m giving this away - and fast! Into the donation pile it goes.

Petrichor31

I've owned this fragrance for a few years. I return to wear it each spring. It reminds me of ironing clean cotton that was line dried. The orange blossom is soft but prominent. My dentist commented:"Your fragrance is lovely. It reminds me of an orange grove". There is a dry, make-up powder type finish to this scent which is comfortable to wear in cool, spring weather. Wearing this fragrance gives me a feeling of calm elegance. I'm really happy to have this in my collection.

MsLittlejohn

Gosh, I really LOVE this scent. Unfortunately, though, it just doesn't last long? This is my second Prada and I have to say, while the fragrances are so good, longevity is bad for the cost. Both of my purchases were EDP's.

moonlightbaby

Absolutely love this perfume!!! I'm on my third bottle and it's one of my absolute favorites! I bought this on a blind buy out of curiosity and it turned out to be my fav one out of the prada candy line! it smells sweet and it makes me feel elegant and sophisticated

tyekristopher

Out of all the candy collection this one is my favorite! It just smells musky and orange blossom which I’m a fan of , it’s sophisticated but I get a “ green” smell from it too . Not patchouli but something else . I highly recommend this one

Hurricane_Hilda

I bought the small Prada kiss candy set which includes the original Prada Candy and Prada Candy kiss. Out of the 2 I reach for Prada Candy kiss more. The original one is nice ... but I gave it away I don’t care much to have it. I prefer Prada Candy kiss much more. Longevity ... I have only worn this in the winter time maybe not the best idea but I got about 2 hours tops with this. I’d like to test run this in the spring time to see if the longevity would be better. Silage isn’t beast mode. People will smell you in a intimate space next to you or passing by. After those 2 hours a it’s skin scent. It’s a pleasant *sweet musk * . Dry down is better than the opening in my opinion. If this wears better in the spring time I’m defiantly going to purchase the bigger bottle

Unfurling Blossoms

It's just so girlie. Smells just like lipstick, makeup and suntan lotion. Love it!

Vikki1985

This fragrance is really lovely, it didnt blow me away at first and i actually wasnt sure if it even smelt that nice.. hard to explain really..but there is something addictive about it and its really grown on me (which didnt take long )it does indeed make you think of white cotton, if cotton had a scent this captures it well. I dont actually make out the orange blossom it is a really well blended scent, no note stands out above the rest. If you can try and picture what white cotton would smell like (tricky, I know lol) with a hint very soft creamy/mildly powdery musk that is what this smells like, I'm assuming the orange blossom is adding to to the appeal but I cant smell it on it's own. The musk in this isnt harsh or old fashioned (hate that terms soz but only way I can explain it) it is just right, I struggle with musk sometimes but theyve really cracked it in this fragrance.

I really do love fragrances like this, this is almost like a natural skin scent but it projects, I kinda want to say baby powder but in the best way possible, I'm really starting to wish that I had tried this sooner, completely looked passed it when I started my perfume mission because the notes didnt grab me but this is a really gorgeous scent. Dont expect anything complex because this isnt that but it is beautiful in its simplicity, if you prefer dainty soft scents during the day that smell kinda natural and whimsical then this is likely for you. I'm a lover of versace baby rose Jean's, (now discontinued boo), avon soft musk delice, Versace Donna, Vera wang rosebuds and vanilla, Borsari violetta di Parma, caroline herrara l'eau, (yes even though the sillage is bloody awful), I like these kinds of scents for during the day, feminine and soft and smell sort of natural and even though this doesnt smell like any of those it gives me the same vibe, soft and dainty which I'm shocked about because I thought that the orange blossom would be a bit piercing but it isnt, this is a really well blended soft natural scent and it's gone straight up to the top of my favourites x

Azisai-

I adore this perfume because it’s so uniquely clean and soothing while also giving off a sense of blushing. It The musk plays out so beautifully as the main note, and a little lingering cotton can be sensed throughout the duration of the perfume. This perfume embodies shyness with its gentle scent. To be honest, the sillage isn’t so great on bare skin, so I recommend putting unscented lotion on wherever you plan to spray it. It makes it last long and the sillage is greater that way. I’d recommend this perfume if you want something that is simple, feminine, and not begging for attention.

clairemedlicott

I fell for this after receiving a sample, I thought it was so soft and comforting. However, after a few weeks of owning it I grew tired of it, it's just a little too sweet in my opinion. If the 'sweetness dial' could be toned down just a few notches I'm sure I'd love it. I now use it occasionally, as my 'something different', as I've got to be in the mood for it.

irenad87

I got a sample of this based on reviews here, and I have to say I'm not disappointed.

It's sweet and soft and works well with my skin. I sprayed 2x on the wrist and let it work its magic. I can totally wear this all winter and even during warmer months for a night out.

if you like gentle/sweet scents there is a good chance you will like this.

*it reminds me a little of Charme by La perla in the dry down. but it could be just the way it jives with my skin.

Sabretoothkitten

I like it not love. It's pleasant and non-offensive and pretty. Not huge sillage. If you like lighter scents it may be a good option. All the Candy line are subtle imo unless massively oversprayed.
It smells a lot like the argan oil that Sally beauty sells. My husband said " it's nice but it smells like something an older lady would wear". I disagree but maybe some people think orange blossom= older?
If anything this reminds me of a gentler more modern Classique.

menna81

The prettiest musk and vanilla combo! So clean and so sexy at the same time...a must have and a very safe choice....

lnoskin

I am not sure what it is about this perfume but on paper, I assumed I would hate it. I hate musk and I'm not a fan of white florals. I got a sample of it in a swap and II have to say I really enjoy it. Musky perfumes usually make me nauseous but the musk in this doesn't bother me and it's quite different than perfumes I have. This is the only prada candy perfume I have liked. I am hoping it will make it's way into my collection soon!

six_half

I've tried this twice now from a current (2019) tester bottle and both times I was disappointed with the longevity. It starts off as a pleasant sweet musky floral and after an hour I could just about spritz another fragrance over the same spot without consequence.

I'm so envious of those who say that Candy Kiss lasts for hours on them. :(

miarose

This is the Candy flanker I was waiting for. I adore the original Candy, which is lovely benzoin, caramel and powder without that weird saccharine sweetness that I'm finding in a lot of perfumes these days. Previous flankers were a disappointment. The addition of that weird sweetness, plus fruit and floral, added to the Candy base, was a huge miss for me. This was what I was looking for. Minus the heavier elements, with just a touch of orange blossom, makes this very wearable in warmer weather. The only thing I wish for was that the musk came through more prominently. It disappears quickly on me. I can probably layer this with a white musk to get that, but it would be perfect if that was more prominent.

kristamb

This reminds me of a perfume I had years ago called Breathless from VS. It is nice, but nothing at all like the original Candy from Prada! This one is a bit too floral for me, but it is a nice soft perfume. Lasting power is a few hours.

Plumaria

This was love at the first sniff. It is simple but so perfect, somehow reminiscent of other scents but I couldn't put a finger on which.
Truth be said, the only 3 notes here are some of the most used in contemporary perfumery, i.e. many of Narciso Rodriguez fragrances have them in their DNA, this is why this smelled so familiar to me. But while I have some problems wearing NR fragrances, I can wear this one without any problems.

Compared to Candy here there is no caramel and benzoin, so it lacks that specific gourmand note but it is still deliciously sweet with a very prominent addictive vanilla, there are no powdery notes but the musk and orange blossom give a soothing creaminess that satisfy the senses.
This perfect balance results in an enveloping, airy, feminine, cosy and at the same time clean scent, wearable by any age group, everywhere and at any time.

To me this is quite long lasting, even more on fabric, but because it is so addictive, you may tend to sniff it on yourself again and again until your nose won't detect it anymore due to olfactory fatigue.

P.S. I agree that it smells extremely similar to the Moroccan Oil hair products

boannika

Jesus Christ... What a beautiful scent, I'm speechless. It''s what I imagine extremely confident, well-groomed women smell like. It's simple and chic. Nice combination of clean and sweet, as the reviwer below already noticed. I feel effortlessly beautiful wearing this. Can't really explain the scent, but to me it's something like a vanilla scented room spray (not a bad thing in my head). Sweet because of the vanilla in it, but it also refreshes and has a clean vibe at the same time. I wish it lasted longer, sillage and longevity are truly criminal.

Mbrock

I really love this. Its somehow clean & sweet. Its a weird combo to try but they got it right. The only issue I have is there is no sillage, its a total skin scent. I think some people like that in a perfume but not me. This would be a strong love for me if it just had some sillage.

tyekristopher

One of my favorite pradas ! Its so sexy with ths musk, vanilla and orange in it. Wears well with my chemisry

Rosey22

This perfume definitely starts off very product-y like as the review before me mentioned. I think it’s more sunscreen than expensive soap however. It’s a very light citrusy/vanilla but it definitely keeps the cheap coconut sunscreen vibe thoughout. After a few minutes of chemically scent it turns to a nice creamy/beachy scent which slowly fades to something which can only smelled when your nose is pressed against your wrist. Its very light and playful, a crowd pleaser but can be a bit cheap smelling. It’s not a personal favourite but I do get many compliments on it which is always nice.

Longevity-less than 2 hours

merry xmas all.

candy kiss
one spray to inner elbow, summer but cool ish

so first off i love the initial smell once sprayed. its product-y - you know when you smell a good hair product...

very clean musk (gentley noticeable musk; no animal in sight), a floral which i suppose it is floral; but not flowery, and clean clear sweetness - which im reading as the vanilla.

first spritz/top notes dont seem cool, but they arent warm at all. this seems clean (but not fresh or angular), i do like the powdery product smell and i want it to stay that way.

im thinking its entering the middle phase slightly, the vanilla has warmed a bit. more later ok

Pianomelody

Wow, what a nice perfume!! It's so clean,bright with really extraordinary orange blossom and vanilla accents! A perfume for those who like to feel free, come back even a little child and be enveloped in a clean, delicate and pure aura. I love this perfume, it's very pleasant,if i have to give a color to this perfume I would give the color White! ...i like it very much! ❤ ●•*.。

Imagine a pile of freshly-washed laundry, just out of the dryer and neatly folded. That's what this perfume smells like to me. It's light and inoffensive and clean. It's a warm, comforting scent. Definitely office safe.

muckata_11

Well, another girly sweet Candy! Not for me.

Nataliemarie

This is the only Prada Candy I like. I despise the smell of the original one.I am really surprised no one has written this smells like a very light version of coppertone! Well, before they have practically taken the scent out of coppertone. I love it! I see it has a vote being compared to Neroli Portofino, which I also have. I agree, but an extremely light version. That is also a "sunscreen" fragrance to me.I would also say a very light Bond 9 Fire Island, but not Bobbi Brown Beach. That one is so synthetic & plasticy smelling, I can't take it. This is beautiful, but I think Prada should skim down on the price of these that don't last long, or are light as a body spray. The original Prada Amber is a BEAST! I wish they would have beasted this one up a notch!

Very light musky floral fragrance that unfortunately didn’t last long on my skin (roughly 2 hours) and sillage is weak. Yet Candy Kiss is a lovely fresh scent that is safe to wear in an office, school or anywhere you may be in close proximity to people. More for daytime as it is too light to wear for evening as the scent just disappears as it did in my case. Not really a gourmand scent in my opinion but still sweet enough that it will definitely not cause headaches or be cloying.

ok so this is the BEST out of all the candy scents i believe - well at least in my opinion lol........what a dreamy feminine yummy scent its one of those scents u cannot stop smelling lol i love the vanilla white floral & musk combo so beautiful maybe its the vanilla & musk that make it sooooo dreamy - not sure - but either way i love this one !!!!

Would have love this on me, as it starts off with a orange-musk combination. But sadly, it ends with a super soft vanilla scent. Poor longevity and sillage on me, lasted for one hour from initial spray. sorry not for me..

A member recommended this perfume in a forum post as a clean scent. I thought...no way...the original Candy isn't "clean" so I went to Sephora tonight to test this one. I don't like the original, too sweet, but Prada Candy Kiss is sort of perfect. It's such a soft perfume, lightly sweet, kind of clean and just smells so good on the skin! The notes are musk, vanilla and orange blossom. If you aren't a fan of overly gourmand, but would like a touch of sweet, a little fresh and a bit of floral, check this out. I'm so grateful to whoever suggested this perfume in the forum! I think I have a new favorite!

Musk, musk, and more musk! Soft, clean musk with orange blossom and vanilla. And maybe caramel? Caramel is not listed as a note, but I think I get it in the dry down. I'm really loving this fragrance and am impressed with the entire Candy line. The original Candy is one of my favorites and after recently testing Candy Gloss, I want it too! So good!

I’’m not an expert, and new to this site. But this just smells like TBS White Musk.

I just bought this last week and to sum up: it smells like orange and clean and vanilla. Clean scent fades away after a while(aka 20min), and all I got is orange and light vanilla scent that lasts about to two hours on my skin. I really love this perfume cause it feels feminine and charming.I wish the musk lasted more on my skin to make it more unique. Unfortunately, I had zero compliments so far.

My new love... Not too sweet, it's musky and powdery. I am actually surprised how much I like it. Not a complicated scent, just a few notes, but to me it seems just perfect.

This flanker of Prada Candy is primarily marked by notes of cheap playdough, musk, and dum dum lollipops. Not impressed. It’s really not even a bad smell, but I’ll pass.

The neroli is definitely present in the opening here coupled with the heavy musk (think TBS White Musk) it gives this a clean musk vibe to start off. I could have thought there was a touch of jasmin in there too. In my opinion reminiscent of Jennifer Aniston's first perfume at the very beginning (which was a favourite of mine while I could get hold of it in Europe :().

On the dry down a lovely big dollop of sweet vanilla makes itself known and softens up the whole affair. This has all my favourite notes, white musk, neroli and vanilla and I absolutely love it. I was delighted to see it on sale in Boots yesterday(for anyone living in the U.K or Ireland).

The lasting power is pretty good on me too I've no complaints there either, I notice some are saying it doesn't last. I hate the name and the concept :( However, who cares about that really the perfume itself is a definite winner!! Don't let the terrible name and marketing put you off if you are a more mature woman, this is not a particularly young, girly or immature fragrance in my opinion even though it looks like it was aimed at a younger crowd, this would smell fantastic on anyone.

I was pleasantly surprised by Prada Candy Kiss. I thought it worth a try when I was last perusing the sales counter at my local department store. Spritzing Prada Candy Kiss on the back of my hand, I found myself sniffing my hand continuously over the course of a few hours and greatly enjoying its soft, sweet aroma.

I have always made it known that I am not the biggest fan of the original Prada Candy. My overall lack of excitement for the original put me off testing any of her subsequent flankers until very recently. Prada Candy Kiss is my favourite flanker so far.

Prada Candy Kiss opens with a soft, sugary and vanillic blend of musk, orange blossom and powdered vanilla. This composition is very basic yet effective. It comes across as very youthful and girly, but not in such a way as to be off-putting to older consumers.

Unfortunately, the soft, sweet and fluffy top notes are very short-lived on my skin. The base of white musk comes into play far too early in this fragrance's development and doesn't have quite the same appeal as the delicious opening. The longevity is also quite lacklustre which is rather unfortunate. It was the poor lasting power that stopped me from returning to the store to buy myself a bottle.

I don't know much about matching body products, or if any were made for this release, but I could only recommend layering Prada Candy Kiss with a rich, moisturising lotion to try and prolong this fragrance on the skin.

Musk, caramel. Very strange. Smells like clean laundry, caramel. It's not bad or unpleasant. It's soft and clean. It's fine, but I don't think I'd buy it.

Sweet & Musky..

It's nice but a bit too musky for my taste..

tyekristopher

This is possibly the only Prada candy I like out of the line. I love the musky powder undertones in this

This is great for spring/summer! On me it is sweet but not heavy at all, very fresh and soft sweet. The neroli really shines on my skin, taking on a honeyed feel. I don’t reach for this one often (I like louder, sweeter scents) but I have a feeling I will be using it a lot more as the weather warms up..!
Very inoffensive, stays fairly close to skin which is what I am going for today (heading to the optometrist).
It is lovely, nice and breezy fresh without ozonic, green or aquatic notes (which I don’t usually like). I do kind of get the “fresh, sun dried laundry” feel but add an orange grove in bloom nearby...

This should be called the baby line. This one smells like European babies, original and leau smell like American babies, florale smells like the mom, and gloss smells like the grade school sister

This is my current favorite. It's very soft and gentle. I feel like I'm wrapped up in a soft billowy cloud of gentle sweetness. I think it's most like Clean Skin the fragrance. Not that they smell the same, but if you like Clean Skin, you will probably enjoy this one as well. They are both like a warm sweet hug from somebody special.
