Prada has introduced new fragrances in the Prada Olfactories collection of luxury, limited distribution fragrances: Compulsion, Malombra, Nylon Noir, Pink Flamboyance, Tainted Violet, Trembled Blossoms.
Compulsion ~ "This woody and musky Eau de Parfum with mineral accents is articulated around an enigmatic combination of Ambrofix and coumarin, enhanced by sparkling aldehydes."
Malombra ~ "This Eau de Parfum with ambery and leathery notes is born from the meeting of the warmth of the Saffiano Leather accord and has the character of a liqueur aged in oak barrels."
Nylon Noir ~ "This musky floral Eau de Parfum with bright jasmine notes blends into a heart of Nylon accord, before settling into a comforting musk, like a second skin."
Pink Flamboyance ~ "This fruity floral Eau de Parfum, where the radiant rose unfolds in a succulent cherry accord, is enhanced with a delicate touch of neroli."
Tainted Violet ~ possibly a reissue of 2015's Tainted Love? "Tainted Violet is a floral woody fragrance with a powdery, richly textured Iris accord, lifted by the fresh green notes of Galbanum and grounded by earthy Vetiver."
Trembled Blossoms ~ "This Eau de Parfum with green chypre notes is carried by a captivating vegetal duo of blackcurrant and mint on a delicate musky suede base."
The Prada Olfactories are available in 100 ml Eau de Parfum, each packaged in a patterned silk pouch.

I really hope they are all Daniela Andrier’s créations, like all the other ones from the collection!
That would be good! Also hope this is all of them…
These new $$ Pradas remind me of the $$ Prada Exclusifs from some years back that came in 30 ml bottles and were named after one note such as Oeillet or Benzoin. They were extremely beautiful and well-done and inspired an outsized amount of perfumista lust, especially since no one could ever find them.
There were hilarious stories of buyers trying to weedle them out of snotty and uninformed Prada salespeople at the stores, who either refused to sell them, saying they were for display only, or giving blank stares like they’d never heard of them and we were delusional, or in some few lucky cases, disappearing into the back of the store and returning with the rare single one they had in stock.
I’m not sure if it was a PR gimmick on Prada’s part or what, they were never made in any quantity, then disappeared completely, leaving us all very twitchy and upset. The ones I got to smell were gorgeous. You see them pop up on the ‘bay occasionally for $$$.
Beautiful fragrances. Actually Prada Beauty was a completely different company from Prada Fashion, and the Fashion didn’t make any effort to include them. Also, the 30ml /no spray bottles weren’t practical, and far too expensive when they were available.
And then came The Olfactories collection!
