The inspiration of Prada fragrances
Thought like collages, the ten Olfactories of Prada dare original superpositions between a familiar evocation and what it can bring forth in our unconscious. Like sensual images, endearing since they are fed on contradictions, they twist a subject to reinvent it and are named after a song title by Prince, Axel Bauer or Brigitte Bardot, a film by Alain Resnais or François Truffaut ...
The author of Olfactories Prada
Daniela Andrier, perfumer for the company Givaudan, who is responsible for almost all of the scents Prada, worked under the creative direction of Miuccia Prada of which she is very close.
The essays
- Cargo de Nuit, a little marine thanks to the coumarine but chic thanks to the ambrette and the cedar.
- Day For Night, a subtly leathery amber.
- Double Dare, an ultra-racy leather.
- Heat Wave, an armful of exotic solar flowers to the extreme.
- Marienbad, a vanilla transcended by leather, amber and incense.
- Nue au Soleil, an orange flower warmed with patchouli.
- Pink Flamingos, a rose that flirts with cherry and iris.
- Purple Rain, an iris magnified by vetiver and neroli.
- Tainted Love, a violet nimbée of musk with inflections of lipstick.
- And finally A Song of Love, a cloud of neroli and tender musks.
