Vanille Absolu
A caramelised vanilla approached through fruit rather than spice, by way of plum and cherry. The musk beneath is thin: the sugar is what holds it together.
Candy
Caramel and benzoin in quantity, softened by a powdery musk. An unabashed gourmand that Prada's usual restraint makes oddly sober.
