Product Details
Embodying Prada’s take on sensuality, an understated intensity, that does not need to perform to be seen.

The Scent opens on a bright, sparkling veil of Aldehydes before giving way to Coumarin in all its warm, enigmatic depth. This intimacy is grounded by Ambrofix, drawing the composition into something mineral and skin-close: woody, sensual, and quietly enigmatic.

Compulsion comes with a satin pouch with a geometric pattern that was featured in Prada’s Fall/Winter 2011 runway show. This pattern is referenced in the visual collage that expresses the fragrance.

On the occasion of the collection's repackaging, the fragrance has been renamed to better reflect its distinctive character and scent. Cargo de Nuit becomes Compulsion, its name evolves while its signature remains unchanged.

The Collection
Embodying the essence of Prada’s creative vision, the Olfactories are the most exquisite fragrance collection conceived by Master perfumer Daniela Andrier alongside the creative direction of Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons.

Each fragrance draws from a distinct territory of the Prada universe — a material, a gesture, a tension — and translates it into scent through unexpected associations of texture, color, and ingredient.

An evocative collage accompanies each of the Olfactories, encapsulating a mood, memory, experience, or dream contained within the olfactive essence.

The Bottle
The Olfactories bottle reveals a faceted octagonal silhouette, defined by architectural lines and sculptural precision. A raised rectangular relief frames the Olfactories’ pale blue label, finished in Prada’s refined and iconic Saffiano texture. The design is crowned with a midnight-blue Saffiano-textured cap, topped with a delicate embossed Prada logo.

The outerbox is etched with the brand’s signature Saffiano leather cross-hatching and finished with the iconic blue label, extending the bottle’s distinctive visual identity.
