Prada Candy by Prada for Women 2.7 oz Eau de Parfum Spray

Know before you buy: it's real, but half it's lifespan is past

I ordered this two days ago because it's way cheaper than Sephora - about half the price. But I was really hesitant reading so many people say it's a fake. So, I opened it immediately to test it out, and it smells the same as what I've always used. The cellophane wrapping was tight and pristine, the packaging matched the brand, the bottle was smooth, high quality glass, the barcode was present, authentic and in the right spot, and the serial number inscribed on the bottle and the box matched. Those are all the signs of an authentic perfume. So I went a step further and checked the serial number on checkfresh.com and learned that the manufacturing date on this was November 2019 - which was 2 years and 6 months ago. Perfume has a shelf life of about 5 years, so this perfume is by no means expired, but it's used up half it's shelf life already (which is likely why it's half price). For me, it's no big deal because this is my daily fragrance and has been for many years. I use a bottle up in about 6-9 months, so I'll be able to use this up well before the expiration date. But for someone who buys perfume expecting it to have a life span of 5 years, it would be important for you to know you're not going to get that out of a perfume you buy here. I'm writing this review because I was almost turned off by the claims that this product was fake, and I wanted to authenticate the product, but also offer an explanation as to why it's cheaper for those who might be hesitant to buy.

Alright, this is the sort of gift that’ll make you look like a proper hero

So, I got this for my wife because, you know, apparently it’s classy — Prada Candy, fancy, right? I thought, “Yeah, this is gonna impress her, she’ll love it.” It’s sweet, not too sweet, but like... “I’ve got my life together” sweet. Smells like vanilla, caramel, basically a dessert, but without looking like you’re some sort of sugar addict. You spray it on, and boom — suddenly, she’s walking around like she owns the place. And I’m there, basking in the glow of “I bought her something proper nice.” It lasts all day, too. So, I’m basically a genius. But... what if she doesn’t like it? What if she thinks it’s too posh or something? But, no, she loves it. She said it’s “perfect.” I mean, I didn’t ask her what “perfect” really means, but I’ll take it. So, yeah, if you want to look like you’ve got your act together and impress your missus, this is a solid shout. Just make sure she doesn’t know how much it cost, because that’ll probably bring it down to a 3-star review from her.

The Best Perfume Choice

Absolutely the best and the ONLY fragrance a woman would ever need. Prada's "Candy" is perfect for all occasions regardless if it's a romantic night out or just a fun trip w friends. W nodes of warm Amber vanilla, sweet caramel and just a hint of white musk. This Eau de Parfum really comes alive during the winter and autumn months, it blends in so well w the nostalgia of cooler weather. From the moment I tried this scent, I have be hooked and, other than a light body spray for every day errands, it's the only fragrance I wear. 10/10
