I miss you Katie P!! Come back please!

@MelindaLongoria 10 лет назад

You are hilarious. This is one of the best fragrance reviews that I've encountered on youtube. Subscribed. :-)

OK so when i was 16 in England i adored (and still do) Katie Puckrik. She was to me like Vedder or Cobain was to girls. Cool and out of reach. Even now I look at her in videos like these and see that eyebrow line and the sexy as hell jawline and it make me nostalgic for those days. I think Katie is beautiful beyond belief, she makes my wife jealous though. She has Ryan Gosling (yawn obvious) and I Katie Puckrik - I win. FACT.

I knew I wasn't crazy. It smells sexy, like cotton candy at the carnival. It's *Dope!*

@richardrussell4266 10 лет назад

I find that this one gets so much hate. Personally, I ADORE it. Whenever I spray it I immediately think of Christmas past for some reason (perhaps b/c it smells like marron glade). Wonderfully warm and sweet.

@jdolani 11 лет назад

I got my Prada Candy and I am thrilled! This stuff is heaven on me. I hope they never stop making this,the thought makes me think of hoarding several bottles.

@KatiePuckrikSmells 11 лет назад

You can click though to my blog from the link on my channel page - it's also called "Katie Puckrik Smells". Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez's "Perfumes: The A-Z Guide" is *the* perfume bible for anyone interested in wearing and discussing fragrance. The range of knowledge and scientific and cultural references is breathtaking, and the wit with which it's written is a delight.

@gangurogeisha 13 лет назад

Do you know what's cool? I didn't much care for your reviews at first, but now that I've seen more of them, I've actually grown to like them quite a bit, to the point where I'd find it hard to go on without them. They're also entertaining AND informative, which makes them extra fun to watch.

@KatiePuckrikSmells 12 лет назад

How long a scent lasts can depend on the perfume as well as your skin...& the relative humidity of your climate. I spoke to a perfumer who complained about how long Candy lasts - because he once sat next to a woman on a plane who was wearing it, & he found it never-ending. The funny thing is, I felt it wore off after a couple of hours. But there's nothing out there that smells exactly like this one, so if you love it, get it. & spray more on if people stop being able to smell it on you.

@Sukantara 13 лет назад

You made me go straight to the perfumeshop today to smell it. It is gorgeous indeed ! I also love the bottle.

@nikvaneyck 13 лет назад

love the fact that you're also talking about food!

@jdolani 11 лет назад

I just ordered Prada Candy yesterday,can't wait to get it. I love caramel and Amber.

@Jadasan 12 лет назад

I ALMOST bought this today but I stopped myself. I'm looking for a sweet perfume for the spring/summer so I ordered Britney Spears Fantasy since everyone claims that it smells like cotton candy/vanilla, and if I don't like that I'll buy Prada Candy!

@butchyisok 13 лет назад

I have no love for caramel but.... I definitely want that bottle in my collection. I also just want to compliment your hair! You always look fierce.

@KatiePuckrikSmells 12 лет назад

@xyltk I agree that Candy is less sweet than the men's scents you mentioned. The fact that this fragrance seems to melt into the skin makes it a good candidate for a gender-neutral scent. Wear it if you love it!

@KatiePuckrikSmells 11 лет назад

Tresor! I never actually smelled it until a year ago when I was playing with it in Duty Free...and I love it! It's got this dense peachy musk that is very insinuating. I might end getting a bottle. Candy is full-on caramel, but I can see that it shares a certain furry musky warmth with Tresor.

@kelliraes 12 лет назад

I ended up taking the plunge and ordered Candy and Flower. I adore them both! I love Candy, but you are totally right, the lasting power isnt there... Thanks for your reviews. I will come to you for future purchases : )

@daiggans 13 лет назад

Ooh! Katie, I've been aching to try this! The way you're describing it makes me want it so bad! Lol.

@bellezataina 13 лет назад

You were touring with the Pet Shop Boys!?!?! Domino Dancing...you are even cooler than I thought!! Love that!!

@angelicapreston5932 10 лет назад

This is my favorite perfume! Any perfumes you could recommend that are similar?

@nickilovesdogs8137 5 лет назад

Angel Muse.

@DarlingNikki2 12 лет назад

Definitely give Candy a try on your skin because at first I didn't too much care for it either on the paper blotter, but once I gave a spritz on my skin--wowie! :) On me, Candy is spicy with just the right amount of sweetness (no toothache here) and it lingers all day long and grows more instead of less complex as it dries down. I momentarily forgot I had it on hours later and when I got a whiff I was like, 'What is that smelling so good?' and remembered it was the Candy I sprayed, LOL!

@cathi76 13 лет назад

I knew I had to buy this! I'd heard it was like a caramel crossed with l'eau Ambree and I LOVE both. Only disappointment with Candy is that it doesn't last long on me.

@enzyme20056 12 лет назад

I don't know about prada candy, of course I want it. But will I relate to it, I get a sort of play dough yeastish impression, and yes I get fuge caramel that has been dried out a little. I

@FM897 12 лет назад

It's weird, I smelled this last year on a tester strip and I thought it was awful. Maybe it was the atmosphere in the shop, my mood, or maybe I was just getting a hit of alcohol before the dry down. But now that I know the notes, I should really sample it. It sounds like a gourmand lover's dream!

@angelgoddess1 13 лет назад

i'm definitely going to try and find this stuff because I love Jessica Simpson's fancy so anything in that general area immediately gets my attention, I hope it blows my skirt up! lol

@pgmaxtwo 8 лет назад

in Peru they boil that milk and put the caramel between two eggy shortbread type cookies and sprinkle with powdered sugar. alfajores I think they're called. delish.

@Milovatsi 13 лет назад

PSB? I worship you!

@gina2190 9 лет назад

I got it and on first sniff i smell something i used to eat lots ov as a kid- battenburg cake- very marzepan but its not just that-it has a addictive quality that,s got some sexy musk in it too and its hard to explain as its not overly sweet really, i also got ekk playdoe but a very cute warm kind and i really like it.....mmmm, it's classy , sweet and beautiful powdery and it gets compliments !!

@ouch110 10 лет назад

I found this to be seriously plain and weak. It almost smells like pure Benzoin essential oil. It could have been so much better. *sighs*

@JessicaArndtChannel 10 лет назад

Hey Katie... I never wrote you but i LOVE your reviews... with this one you make me go to some perfume store and smell Prada Candy on my skin. I felt in love! :D Im so happy ive tried.. just bought the 50ml bottle!

@PinkCookie62 13 лет назад

I c, thank u! Yeah I finally checked out the makeup alley reviews & saw some mentioning the powdery aspect, which I love. : )

@Osaluna 11 лет назад

Hello Katie, first I want to tell you I am very glad I found your videos, they are sooo good and helpul, and I think you have excellent taste, even though I have a french name, I am very mexican, cause I have lived here all my life and yes cajeta is made from goat milk,originally from Celaya, Guanajuato... :) Could you tell me the difference between the ralph laurent blue and the ralf laurent that had the bottle with an aqua color?

@MonsieurLacquer 13 лет назад

wow you have quite a history! maybe you could review Loverdose by Diesel, I think you would be surprised by its sensual autumn scent

@JustOnePageAway 8 лет назад

I adore Prada Candy

@astrea79 8 лет назад

+belleandchic1 I do too. I resisted trying it for so long because it's so popular and I already bought Black Opium, which has a lot of vanilla, but Prada Candy is irresistible!

@janehibberd2890 8 лет назад

+astrea79 try prada amber

@drplatanito 10 лет назад

Cajeta is amazing !!

@SirOreo62 10 лет назад

I think I remember you....I think...lol...Pet Shop Boys Performance Tour, London, Wembley Arena perhaps ...

@sugarlemonpie 12 лет назад

I love Prada Candy! I had gotten a sample size but hadn't paid much attention to it until I saw your video and had to dig it out and try it. Love it! Thanks so much for this video, it is really one of my favorite perfumes now and need to get a bottle of it.

@GoldenSnowFairy 11 лет назад

Ok, thank you so much for your reply!! :)

@KatiePuckrikSmells 12 лет назад

Fbomb is bigger, louder and busier than Candy. Candy is actually quite smooth and quiet and creamy. I'd say Candy is more sensual/sophisticated, and Fbomb more brassy and good-time girl-ish.

@KatiePuckrikSmells 13 лет назад

@eezepeeze No, because WVS is more straight ahead plain-ol' vanilla sugary, whereas Candy has the benzoin which adds a slightly animalic, background leather/skin smell to the proceedings.

@melrose795 7 лет назад

I get no caramel note at a, weird!!!I just get a yummy, powdery vanilla..Pink Sugar although, is burnt caramel gone bad...blech...

@KatiePuckrikSmells 13 лет назад

@valyxoo7 I've reviewed Huitieme Art Sucre d'Ebene on my blog - go to my channel front page, click on "Fragrance Names", then click on Sucre d'Ebene to find it.

@KatiePuckrikSmells 13 лет назад

@Mozaika2010 Dziekuje!

@KatiePuckrikSmells 12 лет назад

When I was a kid, my dad was in the US Air Force and worked in the intelligence side of things. The glamorous side were all the James Bond-style parties my parents threw for the international community, and the more sinister side was getting trailed by spies from "the other side".

@KatiePuckrikSmells 13 лет назад

@blindyouthny Yep! There are a bunch of videos on RU-vid of the tour I did, "Performance."

@KatiePuckrikSmells 13 лет назад

@gangurogeisha So glad it's an upward trend on the Puckrik-o-meter!

@nickilovesdogs8137 5 лет назад

Wow you are a singer and dancer? Wow how cool. I absolutely love Prada Candy.

@KatiePuckrikSmells 13 лет назад

@EauMG And don't you love the ad campaign and the whole look?

@TheSnflwr 12 лет назад

@enzyme20056...that's what my husband said when he smelled the Kenzo Amour on me for the first time. You need to smell them at the same time and the funny thing is at Sephora last night when I tried the Prada Candy, the Kenzo Amour was shelved right above it. Anyway, my hubby doesn't like it on me, says I smell like Play dough. His favorite is the Cartier Delices eau de toilette, not the parfum( although the parfum last longer, the do smell completely different unfortunately).

@Richard6562 12 лет назад

Katie :) I love prada candy, but it's not surprising for me, is "another" fantasy by britney,that i love very much, BUT i found that Candy by prada it's not long lasting than the other sugar perfumes, i know that perfumes depending to the skin chemestry but , so many friends told me the same thing, that Candy by prada it's not long lasting than por ex: Escada magnetism for woman that it is a beautiful caramel musky .

@xyltk 12 лет назад

Do you think Prada Candy could be worn by men, Katie? Caramel, benzoin and musk don't strike me as particularily feminine notes. I find Candy to be less sweet than some mens fragrances, like Thierry Mugler Pure Malt and Aquolina Blue Sugar. I'm really getting into wearing more womens scents. I've taken your advice and am now wearing Dior Hypnotic Poison and Thierry Mugler Womanity proudly!

@Dhoketa 13 лет назад

Hey Katie I had a question. I went to Nordstrom's and saw the lady helping me spray Candy on a test paper for me to smell; from the actual bottle. And I loved it. She also gave me a small sample (not from the actual bottle) and I feel it doesn't smell like what the test paper smelled like. I'm so upset b/c I loved it so much. Do you think I should give it another chance? Go back and spray the bottle on my skin?

@ElenaPorcelli 13 лет назад

To me, it smells like the popcorn and candy corner in cinemas: sweet and absolutely cheap. I'm surprised you like it. In the past few years Milan public transport has been flooded with scantily dressed girls drenched in sugary fragrances, which forced me to always wear a cotton scarf sprayed with a lot of Crystal Oud by Montale or Santa Maria Novella's Iris. Now the trend was ending, but Prada is bringing it back and I will never forgive them for it.

@KatiePuckrikSmells 13 лет назад

@drob108 A present for both me and your wife - thanks!

@BlushingBlueSerenity 12 лет назад

I bought a sample of Candy and I fell in love. However I bought the bottle and I feel it doesn't last as long...less concentrated. Has anyone experienced this as well. I was planning on buying this the rest of my life now I just can't put that kind of money on a "body spray".

@charlottesmom 13 лет назад

I LOVE Pink Sugar, I like Fantasy (when the mood strikes) and a like Fancy so I'm probably gonna LOVE Candy.....IF I can ever find it, our stupid Macy's doesn't have it!!! i'll have to either get samples from ebay or drag my "ham hocks" ;0) out to Nordies and get me some!! i hope it blows my skirt up!

@PinkCookie62 13 лет назад

Hi Katie. Wow, u danced w/ the pet shop boys?! Haha very cool! Being followed by spies?! Super interesting! Hey I love this Prada candy & had 2 get it! I also pick up a slight powdery note. I didn't hear u speak 2 that, so maybe it's just me. Is there 1 in there? : D

@ITcanB 13 лет назад

There is a dirt cheap fragrance at H&M called Vanilla Kiss Body Splash in a silly frilly pink plastic bottle for 3.95 Euro that smells so remarkable like Prada Candy to me its worth a sniff just for a hoot! O.K. its missing a lot of the sophisticated notes BUT is come really close check it out.

@KatiePuckrikSmells 12 лет назад

@rocaillefilms Those two magic words: "Polish fudge".

@potocatepetl 13 лет назад

If you want that fudge, you just need sweetened condensed milk (in a tin can ) and a pot of water. Boil the condensed milk for about 30 minutes (depends a bit on the size, the bigger the tin, the longer you need to boil), let it cool and then open. Voila!

@eezepeeze 13 лет назад

@KatiePuckrikSmells I see. The benzoin amps up the caramel and takes it from generic to grownup sexy? Thanks!

@marysbraindump 12 лет назад

Personally i dont like this scent, seems too sweet but at the same time trying to get that "perfume" smell

@1guiltfree 13 лет назад

Thanks Katie. I'll give it a try nxt time I'm out and about. I never really cared for pink sugar, too burnt sugar for me, but carmel, dry down of amber, mmmm, sounds like something I could like. :)

@tania9076 12 лет назад

Am mexican and yes cajeta is made out of most of the tine is really delicious every time i go to mexico i take some:) o and i love. Candy prada i love it and is my 4th bottle all ready.

@SecondHandJan 10 лет назад

Love the smell but will not buy it again, because the scent evaporates quickly on me, compared to almost all my other designer perfumes.

@banandababa 10 лет назад

What is your favourite perfume?

@sidance 13 лет назад

Hi. I just wanted to say, that you're absolutely right. It smells exactly like polish fudge. I'm from Poland so the moment I smelt Prada Candy I just felt like I'm home again. (:

@kimchee80 12 лет назад

i hate carmelly or sweet perfumes ive been wearing dolce light blue for 10 years and candy is the first one that ive loved since its truly amazing.

@augabe 12 лет назад

mmm...... im wondering. has any1 smelled and compared it with Alien The Taste of Fragrance? im really feeling that salty caramel/jasmine concoction. yum!

@funbox 13 лет назад

That delicious Polish fudge your referring to is Krowki. It's my absolute favorite! I grew up eating it as I am Eastern European (not Polish though).

@KatiePuckrikSmells 12 лет назад

@MsBabybluebell Neither Martha nor Arthur, eh?

@jetsnowhaven 13 лет назад

Katie, have you tried Jimmy Choo? I smelled a sample of it and love it, it may be my new "sexy" fragrance, what do you think of it?

@heartquaked 13 лет назад

Followed by spies... an award-wining singer in a band...dancer for the Pet Shop Boys... will you please write a book about your life?! :D

@StephL535 12 лет назад

"tight ass Dolce de Leche" lol!! I concur with you that cajeta is world's more sensual and yummy! Candy is gorgeous, I agree! :)

@MsModista 12 лет назад

I live in Cracow!!!!Please come and visit again so we can smell together hahahahahah.Regards from Krakow:)Love your descriptions!

@phiota10 13 лет назад

The fact that you said cajeta was glorious....made me love you more, btw-cajeta is actually burned caramel made from goats milk. =)

@KatiePuckrikSmells 12 лет назад

@MsModista Good to hear from you in Krakow!

@Anascissors 10 лет назад

what do you have on your lips, it looks great on you?

@NorthernNightSky 13 лет назад

Wow, I loved the Polish accent here :) I think I will try the new Prada, if it is supposed smell like the caramel sauce.

@shagel7 13 лет назад

My friend sent me the link to this because we went to Poland together and fell in love with krowka (the Polish fudge) :)

@Mozaika2010 13 лет назад

Ha! Ha! Ha! Regards from Poland! Remember the name for Polish fudge candy? :) It's KROWKA, reads: croovka :))

@zoeteapples 12 лет назад

Candy reminds me a little of escada magnetism but candy is way more caramel-y and reminds me of childhood.

@eezepeeze 13 лет назад

Is it at all reminiscent of Bath and Body Works Warm Vanilla Sugar?

@KatiePuckrikSmells 13 лет назад

@Dhoketa Perfume is meant to be worn on skin - not on a strip of paper - so you should always try a scent on your skin if you're seriously thinking about buying it. (Just like you should try on a lipstick, not just look at a swatch on a tissue.) The stuff in the sample vial will be the same as in the bottle, but if you want to be double-triple sure, go back and spray the bottle on yourself.

@KatiePuckrikSmells 13 лет назад

@charlottesmom I think you'll be solid gone for Candy, if you ever score a sniff!

@neeneeamer 10 лет назад

Hey Katie! Have you reviewed Candy L'Eau ?

@sinyeesinyee 13 лет назад

It's good to know that Prada has another nice EDP item. They have a very great 'nose'. ^^

@sgtank123 13 лет назад

I got three samples when I bought my VS fragrances but they all smell different! haha

@Gialuname 13 лет назад

@heartquaked She did! It's called "Shooting From the Hip" and is available on Amazon.

@KatiePuckrikSmells 12 лет назад

They're both beautiful perfumes, but Flower isn't sweet the way Candy is. But it is powdery and warm, and it has a gorgeous trail of scent that goes on and on. Candy is unusual and pretty, but doesn't have Flower's lasting power. Maybe you should go for Flower.

@mskatonic1 13 лет назад

I love you and your reviews, but I hate this fragrance. I'm not a "sweety" at all! :)

@KatiePuckrikSmells 13 лет назад

@cathi76 It's true that Candy doesn't have the longest staying power, maybe a couple hours, but that is good enough for me. Bottom line most important thing for me is whether the fragrance smells good, not that it lasts for 20 hours. In fact, I start to get bored/irritated by a perfume if it has too much persistence.

@KatiePuckrikSmells 11 лет назад

Pink Sugar is more harsh/burnt sugar-smelling that Candy, which is smooth caramel-creamy. If you specifically love how Candy smells, I don't think you'll be satisfied with anything else. You'll spend money on a couple cheaper things to try to save money and then end up buying Candy anyway.

@KatiePuckrikSmells 13 лет назад

@SnowEclaire I appreciate the feedback. I generally mention projection ("wears close to the skin" vs "Foghorn Leghorn") & longevity (usually with regard to it being extraordinarily short or long-wearing), but I don't like to get too proscriptive (ie "nighttime only", "suitable for teenagers", "summerweight incense"), 'cause I don't want to lay down too many "rules" for wearing whatever makes you happy. It's fine line. I'll bear your comment in mind for future reviews, though.

@KatiePuckrikSmells 12 лет назад

I also thought it wasn't the most long-lasting, but was talking to a perfumer, François Robert, who was complaining about how it was extraordinarily persistent, to the extent that he had to change seats on a plane to get away from the lady wearing it!

@KatiePuckrikSmells 13 лет назад

@Elenasniff See, I'm not getting "cheap" from Candy. Sweet, yes, but it has that lovely underlying amber that brings it back to perfume territory after the caramel start. You're right, though, we're living in a dessert perfume era for the time being.

@KatiePuckrikSmells 13 лет назад

@eezepeeze You summed it up!

@KatiePuckrikSmells 12 лет назад

They will both give you so much pleasure. I've been thinking that you might like a sweet/powdery/musky perfume by Keiko Mecheri called Loukhoum. It comes in 3 slightly different forms, and the one with the muskiest drydown is the one I've done a video review for called Loukhoum Parfum du Soir.

@laurieeno2118 10 лет назад

Completely simpatico with you on this one, Katie. I do think you really do need to be a fan of benzoin and leathery notes in order to appreciate this fully. I am, and it was like at first sniff (caramel!), love at drydown! The silage isn't very good, which is disappointing, but it leaves behind a goose-bumpingly good, next day trace on clothes, I've found.
