Prada's flanker to their bestselling Candy fragrance, Candy Gloss launched in 2017 as a lighter, more playful interpretation of the original gourmand formula.

The fragrance opens with cassis and sour cherry, delivering a tart, jammy brightness before shifting into a softer heart of orange blossom, peach, and rose. The base is where the gourmand DNA becomes most apparent, built on almond, benzoin, and heliotrope with vanilla and musk providing warmth and skin-like comfort. The overall composition leans sweeter and fruitier than the original Candy, with the added floral notes keeping it from feeling one-dimensional.

Candy Gloss works best for those who want an accessible, wearable gourmand without the heaviness of more intense formulations. It's equally suited to everyday wear and casual occasions. If you appreciate fragrances in this family, explore The Romantic, The Hedonist, and The Heirloom.

Top · 0–30 min
Cassis
Cassis
The French name for blackcurrant, cassis has a dark, distinctive fruitiness with a slightly catty, herbal edge that makes it unlike any other berry. It's more complex than blackcurrant juice: both sharp and rich, with an almost savory depth. A signature opening note of certain classic and contemporary fragrances.
Sour Cherry
Sour Cherry
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Orange Blossom
Orange Blossom
Sweeter and more honeyed than neroli (both come from the same tree), orange blossom is a floral note with a warm, almost edible quality. It floats between citrus and floral families, adding richness without weight. A signature note of classic Mediterranean and Middle Eastern perfumery.
Peach
Peach
Ripe, juicy, and velvety, peach has a warm, slightly creamy sweetness that feels lush rather than childish in the right context. It adds a fruity sensuality to floral and oriental fragrances, and its slightly fuzzy quality can even play into tactile, skin-like accords. A note that feels like high summer.
Rose
Rose
The queen of floral notes and the most-used ingredient in fine perfumery. Real rose is simultaneously velvety, honeyed, and slightly spicy, nothing like the synthetic candy version. Depending on the variety used, it can anchor a composition or drift through it like a ghost, adding warmth without dominating.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Almond
Almond
Sweet, warm, and slightly creamy, almond has a marzipan-like quality that sits at the edge of floral and gourmand. It's softer and rounder than vanilla, with a gentle nuttiness that adds warmth without weight. Often used in classic powdery florals and in oriental compositions that want sweetness without sugar.
Benzoin
Benzoin
Sweet, warm, and balsamic, benzoin resin smells like vanilla mixed with incense, with a powdery, slightly medicinal edge. It adds a comforting warmth and fixative quality to oriental fragrances, and blends beautifully with spices. Often used to smooth and round off sharp edges in complex base notes.
Heliotrope
Heliotrope
Powdery, sweet, and slightly almond-like, heliotrope is the quintessential 'retro' note of Victorian-era perfumery, now experiencing a fashionable revival. It smells of sugar, vanilla, and just enough floral to keep it interesting. In modern fragrances it tends to read as nostalgic, soft, and unapologetically pretty.
Musk
Musk
The base layer of almost every modern fragrance, a soft, warm, skin-like scent that extends longevity and bridges other notes together. Natural musk was once derived from deer (now banned); today's musks are synthetic and range from clean and soapy to dark and animalic. The right musk makes a fragrance smell like 'you.'
Vanilla
Vanilla
Warm, sweet, and universally appealing, vanilla is to fragrance what salt is to cooking. Real vanilla is complex and slightly smoky, though most perfumery vanilla is synthetic and reads as clean, sweet, and creamy. It slows the evaporation of other notes and is the reason certain fragrances feel like a second skin.
