The creations are signed by perfumer Daniela (Roche) Andrier who said that that the scents are all intended to be “potent concoctions of the unexpected, provoking the cinematic experience of a partially remembered dream…It’s a strong vision that is far from cliché. They’re very different from what you’ll find on the market. They’re not done by studying the trends of the market and creating a bestseller; they are done out of the spirit of Prada.”Each bottle comes with a silk purse made of Prada materials.Cargo de Nuit is “the scent of a twilight passage on the high seas,” which contains notes of ambrette and cedar.Available as 100 ml Eau de Parfum for $300.

If you are deciding on Cargo de Nuit, start with wear context instead of hype. Ask where you will use it most: office, casual daytime, or evening social settings. That single choice filters almost every buying decision because freshness, sweetness, and projection read very differently depending on environment.

Then use this page in three steps. First, scan the notes and accord profile to understand the scent direction. Second, check longevity and projection hints to estimate how it may behave on your skin. Third, open one or two comparisons to see trade-offs against similar perfumes. This avoids buying a fragrance that is good in isolation but wrong for your routine.

A practical shortlist is one signature scent plus one contrast option from the same brand family. That gives flexibility without over-collecting. If Cargo de Nuit fits your use case, sample first and compare it with one related option below before committing to a full bottle.
