L'HOMME PRADA - Eau de Toilette

Quite possibly my favorite fragrance ever

Fresh, soapy, floral but not overpowering. Lasts about 6-7 hours. Possibly my favorite fragrance ever.

My Staple

After weeks of hunting it down here in Vegas and even questioning if it was discontinued, I have finally found it. It seems like we don’t get a lot of it rolled out here in this city but it does certainly come by. And my god I’m so glad I got it. I purchased a 100mL bottle. Presentation: What a beautiful, sleek bottle. So simple in its design but so elegant. The front of the bottle is windowed so it is very easy to discern the amount of juice left. It is minimalist, but the textured black surface on the back, the cap, the shiny cap, the minimalist branding, it is all top tier. It’s not a bottle that will stand out in your collection, but it will fit perfectly. The Smell: Like many other fragrances, the first 5 seconds upon spraying consist a very harsh, screechy carrot note. Luckily, the scent settles down quite quickly. The first thing you’ll notice is the iris, it takes the main role yet it is not ridiculously powerful. It’s slightly sweet, floral with a touch of violets, and has very small earthy tones in the form of boiled carrots which mixes in really well with the carrot seed note marked on Fragrantica (has a really accurate note breakdown imo). A hint of black ground pepper spiciness also lingers, but it is all counterbalanced by the neroli. On my skin it definitely does smell like an expensive floral soap. So clean and refreshing. It creates such a soft, yet sweet and calming smell. For some reason, I also sense some kind of sweet citrus even though it’s not marked on the notes. This to me smells like coming out of a fantasy outdoor bath in the middle of a purple garden of iris and violets. So clean and soapy, reserved yet bold. It is pleasant to people’s noses and in no way offensive to your environment. The dry down definitely feels baby powdery, but I think some people exaggerate its strength. I own Montale’s Starry Nights and that one has a crazy powerful powdery base. The neroli, violets and iris still retain their sweet floral smells, but it blends really well on your skin. I unfortunately do not sense much of the woody base notes though, it is mainly a floral fragrance. So comforting and inoffensive. A safe dumb reach for work or going out in the spring and summer. Floral, soapy goodness. 3. Performance & Projection: I did 6 sprays upon wearing it today and the fragrance lasted about 9hr on my skin. By about 3-4hr, it becomes a very soft skin scent. Very good longevity for an EDT. Where this fragrance falls a little short (but greatly depends on your skin) is its projection. It is a little too intimate for my taste, and for how good it is, I wish it could create a slightly bigger bubble. Nevertheless, I could still catch whiffs of it while driving and it instantly put a smile on my face. Do not go by the sample bottle you can find on retail stores. These felt wayyy too soft when the fragrance is much stronger in reality. I highly recommend this one even for everyday use. It is at a good value, performs well, and most of all, it smells so damn good. I couldn’t stop sniffing my wrist!

Amazing office scent!

A fresh soapy powdery fragrance that is great for the office, not to strong very nice for work and daily use! Nice packaging and decent performance and projection. Great value everyday fragrance definitely recommend it!

Top Notch Fresh Fragrance

This is an absolute fresh staple! Easy grab for an office scent. It’s pleasant, soapy and non offensive. It’s a knockout fragrance that Prada should revive with more flankers.

Most amazing scent & has people asking me about it

This scent it amazing and has become my new go to!!!!

Parfait

J'étais à la recherche d'un parfum qui me personnalise, voilà j'ai trouvé mon bonheur ! Assez discret, un mélange subtile qui me convient tout à fait, il n'est pas envahissant pour les autres, on me dit qu'il me va bien et mon amie adore ce parfum !

Easy to wear, easy to like

Prada L’Homme is the generic masculine powdery fragrance. It works in all seasons and I think it smells great in all ages, my son wears this as well as a friend who is older than I am. Personally I wish there were more base notes like woods and amber’s to make it more to my preferences, but it is nice and I wear it on occasion to work. The sprayer is great, the bottle looks sleek and unique with the leather lining in the back. I think this is a good buy if you want something that smells great and won’t be controversial.

Light and sweet

Light and sweet, nice summer scent. Women will love it

Amazing smell

This is such a beautiful every day scent for the office, school, and pretty much any occasion. The smell is very fresh and laundry smelling. It has a great price point not being too expensive.

Definitely buy if you like clean fragrances

Great everyday fragrance, the dry down on this fragrance is amazing and smells so clean/fresh. Sits kind of close to the skin and lasts about 6 hours from my experience.

A must on any Fragrance Collection! Versatile all year round.

Scent is beautiful. Smooth with good projection. Value is a bit high but you pay for what you get! It is versatile and can be used year round! A must

Clean/fresh staple

This fragrance is in my top 5 as just a clean but very sophisticated scent. Top note is neroli with some cardamom that compliments the iris in the middle note which is driven even further with a base not of patchouli. As overused as patchouli is this scent doesn’t come off offensive at all. This is one of few men’s fragrances with iris and I can tell you it completely makes this fragrance. If you want to smell clean and professional with a hint of money this is the go. Longevity is about 9-10 hours on my skin with moderate projection.
