RiJa

I had this fragrance as an addition in a Jean&Len wonder bag. Honestly, I would never have taken this fragrance otherwise in the hand with this, to say the least, "getting used to" name and flacon.

But now I had it. A pure floral fragrance? Bin otherwise more so the type for sweet fragrances... but I wanted to let myself be surprised. And was not disappointed. Already after the first spray I was in love with this clean, honest composition!
The fragrance is bright, light, elegant, mature, surprisingly fresh and not too opulent, "too much", not sticky and only subtly sweet. Very feminine. For me, a first-class change for this price!

I learn from it: Do not judge a fragrance by the exterior!

This fragrance is very special for me, because I am actually more a friend of feminine fragrances, no unisex. Why I have taken him into my heart, is much more because of the feeling he triggers in me. However, Santal Cardamome directly triggers a relaxation of the senses in me - it smells like a spa you're at to wind down. It really gets me hooked, so warm, spicy, light, but still full of character and specialness. The only thing that's a bit off-putting is the slightly acrid note at the beginning, but luckily it fades away pretty quickly.

All in all, it is a wonderful fragrance in which I feel comfortable. Not a fragrance for going out or getting fancy for me, but one that mentally sends me to the spa with its aromas. I love that!

Prada Candy was one of my first perfumes when I was 14. Now a few years later, the scent reminds me of the sweet time when I was told I smelled so yummy! Nonetheless, I don't see the scent as a teen fragrance:

I still like this signature scent with high recognition, but not at all times. More when it's cold and it's best to be cozy, because it's not very opulent, but still heavy. The musky note at the beginning is not really mine, it doesn't seem feminine at all at first but more like a unisex scent. Once that note fades though, Candy becomes warmer, for me more sugary than brown caramel and also slightly woody, vanilla and smoky so it reminds me a bit of By the Fireplace! I really like that it never seems cheaply sweet but always elegant, classy and grown up. After that, the fragrance no longer develops.

All in all, he no longer blows me away, he is somehow too simple, but if I feel like a dessert for my nose, there is him now and then!

Wore this perfume last summer on hot days. To work, at the beach and just in between to refresh!

The scent is nice and warm-spicy by the pepper note and fruity by the grapefruit, but not sweet or sticky. Just perfect for when you need a cooling breeze! Smelling this on my neck makes me feel alert and fresh, no matter how hot it may be. The longevity is not overwhelming, but for this price and concentration, I don't expect it to be. The benefit of needing to re-spray is also just a new freshness boost. Find the summer scent very successful!
