Application

Apply the fragrance to the bends of your knees and elbows, where body heat amplifies it. After application, do not rub or spread the fragrance on the skin, as this may cause it to fade more quickly. If you apply it to your wrists, reapply after frequent hand washing.

Following the recommended procedure will reduce the faster fading of the fragrance caused by rubbing the skin.

Packaging

• This variant contains 90 ml of parfum in a spray bottle.
• The flacon is refillable; the line includes a separate refill of 100 ml.
• Both the box and the flacon are recyclable.
• The paper packaging holds FSC MIX certification.
• The glass flacon is designed with the aim of reducing its weight and the amount of glass used.
• The shape is derived from Prada's triangular logo, and the construction allows the flacon to be placed on its side.

About the Brand

The history of Prada began in 1913, when Mario Prada founded Fratelli Prada and opened the first store in Milan's Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. During his travels, he sought out rare materials and artisan goods. The brand's identity is built on experimentation, new perspectives and aesthetic codes that transcend fleeting trends.

The fragrance thus builds on a brand with Milanese roots, historical symbolism and an emphasis on the pursuit of new aesthetic directions.
