Prada is synonymous with Milan, but it’s Miuccia Prada – granddaughter of the original Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II arcade shop’s founder – who transformed a Milanese family business into the global powerhouse it is today. Once the official supplier to the Italian Royal Household, Prada now sets the fashion agenda season upon season with its runway shows and represents a new age in perfumery with the release of each tantalising scent. From the now iconic La Femme and L’Homme fragrances to Prada Candy and the beautiful reimagination of its very first scent collection in Les Infusions de Prada, each olfactory note has been purposefully selected and designed to delight the senses and tell a story of unadulterated luxury.

Sharing a belief in the importance of an innovative artistic vision, as well as a mutual respect for each other’s work, this is a partnership with which to be reckoned.
