Prada Tendre was launched in 2006. It was created by two noses, Carlos Benaim and Clement Gavarry. The sweetly fresh opening is created of luminous notes lemon notes, mandarin, neroli, and Italian bergamot. The heart introduces Guatemala cardamom, tea leaves, Indian jasmine, and Haitian vetiver, while the base reveals Indonesian patchouli, Indian sandalwood, benzoin and Virginian cedar. This fragrance comes as 50ml (1.7 fl.oz.) and 80ml (2.76 fl.oz) EDP.

LOVE IT!!
This is a lovely dark yet warm scent. Perfect for an evening out on the town, Prada Tender captures the essence of cosmopolitan chic.
The scent is similar to coco m and flower bomb but can and does hold it's own. I absolutely love the bottle and the use of the vaporizer gives it a feel for glamorous old hollywood. A must for the vintage romantic at heart.
BEATUTIFUL simply beautiful... with fresh neroli in a lemon shower Prada Tendre introduces itself to me !
Light crisp like rain in a forest of lemon trees.
The heart reveals a nice true jasmin with cardamon, I love cardamon ! In this stage it is like a subtle mix of Alien sunessence and a light womanity mixed with a fresh summer scent like versense or light blue.
Enchanting and not too soft, on me it stays and lingers a long time. My young daughter seems to love this on me, says it smells strawberry, but theres no strawberry note, anyway , I am happy she likes it too.
Nice soft and a bit spicy skin scent !
Nice to have you in my wardrobe and now I want to stay tendre for a while ....
Thanks to lovely mara_g - who let me try this !
want to smell this one! saw it in the movie the roommate! Hope its a good scent! I love everything about this bottle! Gorgeous
Funny I get alot of 'Flowerbomb' here only not as nice, with lots of extra super sweet citrus
I dont get it, why so many say Flowerbomb is too sweet, on me it's not....but this one me is like pure citrus syrup... if it we'rent for the citrus syrup overkill..I'd love it...but I'd also have something very similar to flowerbomb, lol
I actually get a little coco mademoisell here too :/
Which is a gorgeous scent only complaint there is that it's too linear, too many wear it, and it's too sweet
love this...wore today and pulled it out my winter /fall stash! very nice!
I was lucky to get a part used bottle fairly inexpensively - I think this is rather beautiful. Very classy indeed. It does start off fruity - but not in a citric blast sort of way - rather a gentle waft of mandarin and neroli. What comes next, as many have pointed out, is a soft warm cosseting scent with everything seemingly gently put together - no harsh notes here - patchouli is soft, jasmine beautifully soft and doesn't explode on my skin and drown out the other elements! The tea notes, the benzoin, the vetiver, the cardomom and labdanum all work amazingly together. I don't seem to get any cedar at all - for which I am thankful...!
It's not an overpowering fragrance - more suited to the day being fairly inoffensive and does sit close to my skin after the initial burst. A good all-year long perfume.
Simply beautiful....!!
I love this it's a far better version of the original, sweet but in a mature way, and the scent of course is unmistakale, very original, very addicting
Prada Tendre is beautiful!!!
The opening gives you no hint at all of what is to follow, its a delicious enchanting surprise. The drydown is indeed similar to Coco Mademoiselle but there's just enough difference to make it worth having both in your collection. I could wear this every day and never get bored of it. My new favourite, and a definite must-have.
I really apologise i bouth this perfume whithout trying it,from the airport shop.Its smelling like my father cologne,nothing exiting.By the way the interest of it on the airport shop was big.But higt price for nothing.Unexpectively!
This exudes a powdery warmth, and reminds me a little of honey, oddly enough. Extremely well blended, I wear it when I want to ooze confidence. Strong and yet soft, assertive, yet classy. I get a strong Jasmine from this, but the citrus notes keep it at bay.
First, I think you've got to LOVE woody notes to appreciate this one. The opening is citrus and tea, but those notes fade immediately and become extremely soft. I understand why some reviewers say they can't smell it on themselves. It's very, very subtle.
From sniffing my wrists I get almost nothing but the woods, however, from simply inhaling the air around me, I catch lovely, tender little whiffs of the flowers, tea and herbs as they waft upward to my nose.
It's definitely not something to wear to be noticed or make a statement, but you and the people in your life who hug and kiss you will likely enjoy it.
I also recommend layering the body lotion with the EDP. It smells slightly different from the EDP, but compliments it well and helps with sillage and longevity.
Prada Tendre starts with elegant citrus and tea notes which are in a tomboy manner feminine. Does this make sense? I hope so...
The soft heart is far more woody and herbal than floral. I can't make out any single flower note. The scent tames in this stage and becomes in a fresh and young way elegantly powdery and round.
In the base note I get a patchouly wood mix reminiscent of the base of Coco Mademoiselle. Prada Tendre reminded from the moment when the top melts into the heart on of Coco Mademoiselle but in the stage of the drydown it's really hard to distinguish them. Maybe CM is a bit sweeter because of the vanilla.
After all Prada Tendre is much rounder, softer and decent than CM. While Coco Mademoiselle is a 21 year old, sharp, but also quirky, sparkling flirty, smirking girl that shouts "Look at me!" and has a subversive edge under her peachy skin from top to bottom, the edginess of the more mature sister – 28 years old Prada Tendre – lies only in the slightly masculin top note. That makes her first a bit distant and mysterious but then really sophisticated. So Coco Mademoiselle is a quirky mademoiselle who only pretends to be a proper lady while Prada Tendre embodies the young confident lady which CM will become when she gets older.
I guess I resemble both of them and maybe that's why I love Prada Tendre as much as my current signature Coco Mademoiselle... ;)
Being stuck and bored at a very small “gate area” of an airport a few weeks ago, I was browsing through fragrances at the duty free shop and tried bounty of them on a paper and as I loved all of the Prada creations, I was really looking forward to testing them on the skin.
This one is just lovable and quite special on me!
I do not seem to be experiencing the citruses, instead to me this is all leafy/rooty/woody/resinous, even slightly smoky, but all of the substances dance together in a very tender, soft and clean manner indeed. This fragrance transforms gently only into something little warmer and very lightly (but luxuriously) floral (but still also very woody) and all of that happens in a very smooth motion. Dignified and sophisticated, this fragrance is also somehow calm and pure, with almost pristine crispiness and gentle, natural sweetness of all the plants.
Correction: I have applied Prada Tendre for the second time and just really enjoyed the fragrance not thinking about it any more, when to my great surprise - a few minutes into wearing it I have suddenly realized that I am surrounded with very fresh, abundant, beautiful lemon! So there it is! I don't know how come I have not noticed it before :-)
So many people like this one. Why can't I? Is today's hot, sultry weather causing this fragrance to behave less than tenderly? Is it my skin's chemistry? Purrhaps I'm just wired differently. Because even though I know it's quality, I just can't bear it. At least not on me, not even on the tester strip. Tried waiting for it to develop fully but after half an hour I HAD to scrub it off. And thankfully it has the manners to leave when it's not wanted! Came on way too strong like sickly vanilla. Perhaps it's like Marra said, not really a summer scent so maybe I'll try again in winter, but maybe not.
it is one of my preferat fum light ,soft distingt lovebel !!!
I bought this today and i am very pleased. A beautiful scent. Soft.Feminine.Pleasant.Delicious!
A big NO to this one, smells like bush! Strange combination of notes... Not my cup of tea.
It smells similar to a pencil box. You know, the smell of wet crayons. It brings me sweet memories but...I guess Mr Benaim and Mr. Gavarry had in mind a different thing.
:-)
Oh my goodness! I sprayed this on and thought I had made a grevious error! It smelled like burning green wood. Yes, it was that hot & acrid. I quickly pulled my sleeve back down and went off to get lunch. Whilst idly waiting for my lunch to be dished up, I lifted my sleeve for a tentative sniff...
Who WAS this sweet woody sexy soft princess on my arm???? Surely no relation to those evil topnotes.
The citrus does linger under the other notes giving it a really interesting piquant base. I can smell the sweet cardamom which gives an edgy quality. There is also a hint of smoke drifting over the top making it very sexy indeed. It is very well crafted.
The key word in PRADA TENDRE is definitely tendre. Everything about this gentle, inoffensive, pleasant edp is measured and, well, tender! The pleasant citrus opening is evanescent, giving way nearly immediately to a slightly sweet, somewhat woody, faintly floral fragrance. This composition seems so natural and unforced that it would be pretty difficult to object to.
In its calm, quiet way, PRADA TENDRE is quite lovely, but the price paid for its inoffensivity is the lack of a well-defined sense of identity. People are comparing this edp to a number of different famous fragrances with very distinctive identities, but it seems but a shadow of any of them to me. Yes, it participates perhaps vaguely in the Forms of all of these well-known perfumes--and others as well--but by reflecting so many it loses itself.
I bought this and tried it today. It is divine. It starts strong, crisp and sharp, almost like a men's fragrance, cologne or aftershave. But that is only for 2 seconds as it moothes down to a more softer, rounder smell. It does remind me to Coco Mademoiselle. There defenetly is some similarities. It is elegant yet not boring.
The flacon is so nice with the dispenser like on the image of Prada tendre above. But the edp inside of my flacon is clear not this brownish colour like on the image. I had to look twice and reassure myself that I bought Prada tendre.
Overall, a very sophisticated, elegant, interesting and really good scent.
is prada intense and prada tendre the same perfume but with different names? cuz i cant find prada intense in the database
x
Try this mixed with Burberry.
Really good-quality scent. Resembles Coco Madmoiselle, but "softer", more vanilla-like in an elegant way. Actually it turns so vanilla when drying down on my skin! I would recommend it for cool and cold days, not really a summer perfume. The lasting power is quite good, stays really long on hair and clothes
I'm on my second day of wearing this and think I've formed an opinion--good stuff, well done, but not quite right for me.
This is a sophisticated scent like the original Prada. The citrus is nearly bitter in the beginning which is interesting, but to me, not that enjoyable to wear - a tad too harsh.
I agree with other reviewers who find the dry down to be lovely, but I don't have the patience to wait that long to be pleased. It's another respectable offering from Prada, but personally, I'd prefer to smell it on that very chic woman behind the fine jewelery counter.
Don't be fooled into thinking that Prada Tendre is just a lighter version of the original. They are completely different compositions.
While Prada is rather heavy and oriental, Prada Tendre is mostly soft woods and lively citrus resting on an element of fragile femininity.
I like that this fragrance is smooth and easy to wear. It is unique without being too strange and 'in-your-face'. Gentle is a word that comes to mind when describing Prada Tendre.
Prada Tendre starts off quite green and fresh, with the citrus signalling that Summertime is around the corner. Soft and sweet jasmine rounds the scent out nicely in the heart, where the vetiver and tea notes add variety and prevent this fragrance from smelling too predictable and common.
The amber, which makes the original so popular, has obviously not been disregarded in this fragrance, however although it is still a dominant note in the drydown, it is not as strong. The patchouli however does give Prada Tendre that earthy feel that the original Prada succeeded in so well.
I can't say that this is the best fragrance in regards to lasting strength, but honestly I'm not too fussed so I see no point in going on about it.
Overall, Prada Tendre is a pleasantly sweet and feminine fragrance, which for some will be a Spring/Summer alternative when the original Prada proves too heavy for the warmer months.
i love this perfume
To me, it smells like Basic Instinct by Victoria's Secret in the opening. If you love patchouli, this should be a scent to try.
This is a very elegant and feminin scent. It starts off quite spicy,sharp and woody. I would not call it fresh though.It does have a really nice and smooth dry down and has a very good lasting power. Although I am not really into oriental/woody scents I like this one very much.
Lovely! In the beginning I sense patchouli and tea, which make the opening quite fresh and sharp. The dry-down is a treasure! Hypnotic jasmine and labdanum, I find it very similar with TM-Alien.
This perfume is lovely and gorgeous. It is definately worthy of the Prada name. I have nothing in my collection that smells anything like this and am very pleased. I have never tried Coco Madmoiselle but am no longer interested in it if the two smell alike. The thing I love most is the drydown which lasts long on my skin. I am happy to have finally recieved an unsniffed perfume purchase ,this summer, that is worthy of all the praise. ;')
Happy~ I've bought myself a miniature collection of the Prada perfumes.(Was originally only interested in the D'Iris):-P
But I've just discovered that Prada Prada Tendre is DIVINE!
Thanks ktv0926, otherwise I wouldn't try it because as I first smelled the perfume, Prada EDP, Prada EDP Tendre and Prada EDP Intense are just the same, and I really don't like the beginning. It's like the kinda 'knock off' scent to me.
Anyways, yeah, it only lasts a few minutes and after that, when everything's settling down, I can definetely feel the nice, modern sophiscated but young and beautiful scent. Sweet and clean, not like some other toooooooo flowery sweet which can 'choke' me.
and yeah, I agree with members who mentioned Coco Madmoiselle, actually I can't really tell the difference between Prada Tendre and CocoMadmoiselle(which is something I love),but Prada Tendre has a more sharp and interesting(and a little bit challenging)start.
The opening is very fresh and green, I sense a lot of neroli, it almost reminds me some men cologne or aftershave, but only first couple of minutes.
Later it settles down to a delicate, tender, flowery yet slightly woody, very elegant scent.
The fragrance is really worth trying!
I bought myself a mini of this and a mini body lotion as a birthday gift to myself. This fragrance is going to be a staple of my perfume wardrobe.
PT is a scent that works in Spring and early fall weather; very high quality, chic and fresh (but not a teenager's scent) unpretentious; versatile, yet also unique. Ladylike without being "old ladylike."
It lasts about four hours on me.
Nice clean crisp and lady like scent. I'm going to have to get a bottle of this. Happy smell to me..
One of my all time favourite perfumes.
So feminine n subtle... *sigh*... more women should wear this kinda fragrances out there.
Has a feel of incense with it's powdered elements: Mate, sandalwood, patchouli leaves etc, but manages to smell very lady-like all the same. Verbena and plum keep if from being too woody or sharp, smoothing all the edges together. Pretty.
I want to add something again..
I have Prada Tendre on peper... and after few hours 9 hours! it reall smells like Coco Madmoiselle! Amazing perfume! As the base is really breautiful!
I want to add what I have just noticed more... Prada Tendre in the biggining reminds me of Chnale 19, when it starts to settle, it is more mixture of Chanel 19 and Prada D'Iris(but not as rich way as D"Iris is).
Nathalie78, I think you have mistaken the perfume Prada with Prada Tendre..
Prada Tendre is fresh citrus scent! I do not remember how Kelly Calache Smells, bu it reinds me Chanel 19 from the biginning!
Prada (1st one) is completely different scent, much more oriental, and it is the one that is like mixture of Organza Indecence, Agent Provocateur, and Agent Provocateur Eau Emotionelle.
I have compered them as I have one one the right hand and second one on the left hand...and I love both of them! One is great for witner or evenings/going out, Tendre is great for summer or just shopping. I want both of them! I already have D'Iris and I also love this one.
A high quality scent in my opinion.. Starts off with citrus, then turns into a nice floral but not a mild and girly one.. Dry down is beautiful as well, a soft patchouli and benzoin.. Reminds me of Kelly Caleche (although it has a leathery drydown and this one has not) but the opening is very similar..
I would rather compare it to Organza Indecence and Agent Provocateur.
Definite Nr. 2 in my perfume collection!Drydown is beautiful.
I tried this today and this is so similiar to coco mademoiselle. I got my friend who is Coco Madmoiselle addict to smell it on me and she thought thats what I was wearing. If you like Mademoiselle then you will like this.
