Prada Has Lots of Iconic Fragrances, But These 10 Are the Best

There's just something about fragrances from a fashion house. They feel luxe, chic, and rich—you know what I mean? When you wear a Prada, Gucci, Chanel, YSL, or Dior fragrance, you automatically feel so much more… expensive, shall I say? Plus, if you can't really afford a huge closet full of designer clothing, maybe a bottle of perfume or two might do the trick until you save up for your next investment piece. I know that's my thought process.

There are so many iconic fragrances from each house, especially Prada. Amber, Prada's first fragrance, is a favorite with so many people because of its woody and mysterious vibe. And that's just one of the brand's intoxicating and popular perfumes. If you want to explore more and find a new signature scent, take a look at some notable Prada perfumes below.

The 10 Best Prada Perfumes of 2022

1. Amber Eau de Parfum Spray

Key notes: Patchouli, sandalwood, vanilla

Amber is the one that started it all. It's made from pure essential oils with notes of bergamot, orange, bitter orange, mandarin flower, mimosa, rose absolute, Peru balsam, patchouli, raspberry flower, labdanum, tonka bean, vanilla absolute, musk, and sandalwood.

Customer Review: "I get compliments every time I wear this. It’s a sexy scent I use during the fall and winter."

2. Candy Eau de Parfum Spray

Key notes: White musk, benzoin resin, caramel accord

This one is like happiness in a bottle. It's a sweet and warm fragrance that's so fun. Notes include white musk, benzoin resin, and caramel accord.

Customer Review: "This perfume smells so amazing. I was hesitant to purchase it online because I thought it might smell too "sophisticated" (my mother's perfume always smells like talcum powder!). This smells sweet and feminine and flirty but also a little grown up. My boyfriend cannot stop smelling me either! The bottle is also adorable!"

3. Les Infusions Iris Eau de Parfum

Key notes: Iris pallida, mandarin, neroli, cedarwood, vetiver, galbanum, incense, benzoin

If you gravitate toward traditional and classic fragrances, you'll like this one. It's fresh and light with notes of iris pallida, mandarin, neroli, cedarwood, vetiver, galbanum, incense, and benzoin.

Customer Review: "This has become a favorite for me. It's like a palette cleanser between heavier fragrances. Light, fresh, clean and powdery. Despite its lightness, it's pretty long lasting :)."

4. Candy Kiss Eau de Parfum

Prada's Candy gets even flirtier with this musky version. It's described as "the scent of white cotton wrapped up with voluptuous orange blossom and suave vanilla."

Think I'm a bit in love here with this one...sprayed some on after my shower, went to the kitchen then returned to my bedroom for something and was just so taken by the trail of magical aroma of this well made potion."

10. Les Infusions Amande Eau de Parfum

Key notes: Bitter almond, heliotrope, mandarin, tonka bean absolute, star anise, musk

Almond notes are unique and a good way to switch things up if you already have floral, citrus, or woodsy scents in your inventory. This one has top notes of bitter almond and heliotrope, middle notes of mandarin and tonka-bean absolute, and base notes of star anise and musk.

Dior's mascara is a huge favorite with Who What Wear editors. It plumps and curls your lashes like no other. The curved brush is so clutch because it allows you to get to every part of your lash.

Chanel's cream-gel face bronzer leaves a velvety-matte finish that looks natural, not fake. The formula is noncomedogenic, which means it won't clog pores or cause breakouts.

I swear every time I talk to makeup artists about foundations, they mention Armani's Luminous Silk. The oil-free foundation leaves your skin glowing with medium coverage.

If I were to judge a book by its cover, I'm already sold. I love the floral design on the tube, but the inside is even better. The lipstick is creamy, long-lasting, and vibrant.

This powder does it all. Who What Wear Beauty Director Erin Jahns says, "Whenever someone tells me they can't stand powder, I tell them to try this holy-grail option from Givenchy. Not only does it keep makeup perfectly set with a velvety-matte finish, but it also kicks excess shine to the curb and helps even out your skin tone thanks to its multi-hued color-correcting composition."

Yves Saint Laurent's concealer pen makes hiding any blemishes or redness so easy. There are light-infused pigments in the formula that give you a natural glow and target any dullness. It also has nourishing ingredients like hyaluronic acid and vitamin E.
