I've really enjoyed reading your take on the fragrance and agree that it has an earthiness without smelling dirty. It doesn't come off as soft and floral as I'd have thought, it's more assertive (at least on my skin) and retains a balance that I have a hard time maintaining in a perfume. For now, it&Sophia1105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-11996171399337417742011-09-14T18:07:38.859-04:002011-09-14T18:07:38.859-04:00I was quite happy to receive a Prada Candy sample ...I was quite happy to receive a Prada Candy sample in my NM GWP tote...I'm not the usual sweet-scent lover, but I ADORE this fragrance! It's a definite must-buy for me.

I think that's one of the reasons so many notes that others like go "bad" on me.<br /><br />Prada Candy is available in samples. Ask for one. Explain you want to wear it for a day before you buy. Now's a great time to get one. :)Charlestongirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08269794937743797142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-91536954608681285822011-09-13T16:40:20.502-04:002011-09-13T16:40:20.502-04:00Oh boy!

I love many scents in the bottle but once they mix with my chemistry, so often they "turn". (and it isn't pretty) I don't know what's wrong with me. Prada Candy sounds like one I definitely need to try. A Gourmand sounds perfect for the upcoming fall season.

I was out of my Fran's grey salt caramels, but the fragrance made up for it. :) Far fewer calories!Charlestongirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08269794937743797142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-28540714844440850572011-09-13T15:39:28.080-04:002011-09-13T15:39:28.080-04:00Charlestongirl, I look forward to testing Bottega ...Charlestongirl, I look forward to testing Bottega soon ;-) <br /><br />I remember seeing the tester for Dahlia Noir at Barney's when we were in NYC, but I didn't bother trying it. I've become jaded, I think. Oh no! I haven't cared for a thing Givenchy's come out with since they reissued Le De. Very sad.<br /><br />I LOVE Prada Candy!
