Prada released the Prada Tendre fragrance earlier this year. It was created by Carlos Benaim and Clement Gavarry, who also worked on the original Prada fragrance, and the notes include citrus, mandarin, neroli, bergamot, maté leaves, cedar, cardamom, plum, vanilla, incense, jasmine, vetiver, patchouli leaves, sandalwood, labdanum and benzoin.
Like Calvin Klein’s Euphoria Blossom, Prada Tendre was developed to perform in the lucrative Asian market where heavy fragrances do not sell, and again as with Euphoria Blossom, its olfactory relationship to its parent fragrance is not entirely obvious on first sniff. Mind you, the original amber accord is still there, but it is no longer the star of the show…

Prada released Prada Eau de Parfum, their first mainstream perfume offering, in 2004. It was developed by Carlos Benaim, Max Gavarry and Clement Gavarry, and the notes include bergamot, orange, bitter orange, mandarin flower, mimosa, rose absolute, schinus molle, peru balsam, patchouli, raspberry flower, labdanum, tonka bean, vanilla, musk and sandalwood. Prada won a Fifi award for the fragrance in 2005.
Prada Eau de Parfum was meant as a…

It is an amber scent built around four time-honoured essences, each meant to reflect one of four dimensions: sandalwood oil from India is pure; patchouli leaves from indonesia are addictive; labdanum resin from France is precious: benzoin from Siam is profound.

Prada Eau de Parfum is all about amber; other notes come and go, but the amber is prominent from the first spray. Citrus decorates the top notes, a whisper of florals the middle, and a dry, earthy patchouli with vanilla accents the base, but the amber is the star here. It is, as advertised, a modern sort of amber; it is warm but not rich or heavy, and smells nothing like its hard-hitting oriental forebears…

Prada has launched Prada Eau de Parfum Tendre:
As its name suggests, this latest re-interpretation of the signature Prada fragrance is a lighter version of the original, and particularly suited to Asian markets….The juice is a new combination of the original’s four key ingredients: patchouli leaves, sandalwood, labdanum and benzoic, “re-mixed” by IFF’s Carlos Benaim and Clement Gavarry.
