Skunky's take: The floral side leads, it arrives with a bouquet.

What does Prada (1990) smell like?
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards evenings, leisure and nights out, and gets fewer votes for daily or office wear. Most voters call it feminine and classic.
The opening is fresh and green, with tarragon, green notes and bergamot softened by fruity notes and blossoms. The heart brings carnation, jasmine, rose and honey, floral with a spicy edge. The base of vanilla, benzoin, sandalwood, moss and patchouli ends it chypre-like, woody, resinous and earthy.
