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.Tainted Love is a reinterpretation of the synthetic smell of lipstick, with accords of violet and musk.Available as 100 ml Eau de Parfum for $300.
