What the devil might be wearing this summer

Recession? What recession? That’s what the cartoon darling on the packaging of Prada’s new perfume, Prada Candy, looks like she’s saying. Indeed the press release says the new fragrance “takes us on a walk on the wild side, showing us a new facet of Prada femininity where more is more and excess is everything”. Well we just thing it’s a really pretty scent. A codktails of musks, caramel, and benzoin (resin from the forest trees of Laos), the notes are all at once sexy and sweet.

Prada Candy is available from Prada boutiques, and Myer and David Jones stores. RRPs: 30ml $90, 50ml $129, and 80ml $129. For stockists phone (02) 9663 4277.
