Castello Cavalcanti

Posted by Robin on 14 November 2013 Leave a Comment

A new short film from Prada, Castello Cavalcanti, directed by Wes Anderson. It has just debuted at the Rome Film Festival.

Warning: language and general Wes-Anderson-ness.

And if you missed it, here's Wes Anderson's Prada Candy L'Eau commercial. If you hate Wes Anderson, don't watch that or this, they will make your skin crawl.

Today, quick reviews of two new (and sweet) flankers: Prada Candy L’Eau and Dolce & Gabbana The One Desire.

Prada Candy L’Eau

Prada Candy L'Eau

Candy L’Eau is the latest from Prada, and it’s meant to be a lighter version of 2011′s Prada Candy. And yes, that’s just what it is — the start is fresher, cleaner and paler, with plenty of bright citrus replacing the deeper fruit notes of Candy, and as it ages on skin, a lighter dose of Candy’s root beer-ish benzoin. There’s also less caramel sugar, less dark woods, and, well, less of everything: if you really wanted a summer version of Candy, or if the original Candy was just too much candy for your tastes, Candy L’Eau might well suit you just fine…
