Prada L'Homme Intense Eau de Parfum ,100 ml

Product Information

I liked the EdT "L'Homme" right away, and it's a fixed part of my collection, even my favorite fragrances, which are worn quite often.

Projection wise, I find the sillage to be on the upper end of moderate. It’s not a heavy scent, but it projects well, just not crazy so. The performance is very good, regardless, and you or other people will notice this juice on you. Where Intense is on it is not always Intense in it. The original is in my eyes already Intense and perfect sillage and durability. Better this fragrance is also not, but similarly good. I find this Intense in DNA and Sillage a little more restrained, but also nobler and suitable for serious evening / night activities. I guess the Intense stands for it being an EdP. So it says at least at the bottom of my bottle.

Why would Prada leave Puig for L'Oréal if they are so horrible? They left Puig because they weren't happy with sales in the long run. MARLEN HARRISON: When I first smelled L'Homme, I thought it was a nice scent...nice enough to try it on my skin and nice enough to be curious to want to smell it again. With Intense, it wasn't quite love. I did try it on my skin but felt it just wasn't for me. What were your initial thoughts about these two scents? How do you explain your own reactions to the fragrances? made in France is more zesty, fresher, zingy, closer to the original L'Homme EdT, not nearly as full in the base - BUT it's projecting off the paper strip like crazy, even hours later and you'll get that slightly dirty, almoast "sweaty" patchouli note in the sillage. Of course it's not a fair comparison because the 2017 bottles is opened since then, alcohol has evaporated a bit which made the pure fragrance oil concentration higher and some volatile top notes may have disappeared too.

The instinctive, human, highly crafted and boundlessly imaginative approach that Prada ascribes to the making of fragrance is everywhere present in the ‘olfactory maps’ for both La Femme Prada and L’Homme Prada. Designed to take the wearer on a voyage through place, memory and time, somehow there appears a sensual meeting point for these distinct female and male fragrances to consummate an aesthetic relationship through experimentation and tradition. There was also talk about discontinuation but L'Oreal kept that one and still offers it - now with the new bottle design with that spikey collar (like the Born in Roma bottles). You have the typical L'Oreal batch code system (same as with Armani or YSL designer fragrances) - the "U" in 3rd place stands for 2021. So, today I have another entry from the Prada line of men’s fragrances, and one of the flankers to the original Prada L’Homme: Prada L’Homme Intense. In this post, I am going to cover what’s in it, how it smells, when it should be worn, how long it lasts, and if it is even worth a buy? I'm noting: A great fragrance that has a little darkness and is much more flexible than its scent relatives and shines with an outstanding durability.

Why Prada would end ties to Puig and go to L'Oreal is much harder to determine, but if I had to guess, Miuccia Prada is no longer concerned with overseeing her own perfumes. Miuccia Prada was hands-on with Daniela Andrier on every Prada fragrance to establish a house DNA (amber and iris) that ran through most of their fragrances in one form or another, leading to the reputation on the men's side for a house of soapy office fragrances. Miuccia has since launched her own psuedo-niche label called Miu Miu that she oversees, so the decision to give L'Oreal the license may actually stem from the fact they are autonomous and Prada no longer has to get in there and write briefs or smell potential candidates for new fragrances herself anymore. Just a hunch. Though, I’d put the amber at number three. From here, it is pretty linear, and doesn’t develop much beyond this.

L’Homme Prada is a fragrance of pairs, of doubles, of juxtapositions and layers. The classic codes of the male Fougère are all present in Neroli, Geranium and Patchouli. Yet the interchangeable male/female Prada signatures are present, too, in the shape of Iris and Amber, the principal elements. It is a mix that is both airy and yet purposefully, highly sensual. Overall do I like Prada L’Homme Intense? I think it is an amazing fragrance. It’s got enough similarities to the original to be familiar, while also adding new elements, to stand on its own. Unlike its predecessor, Prada L'Homme Intense sets the fragrant, aquatic iris accent right from the start. It takes the entire top note for itself and thus gives a clear direction: Sweetish floral scents are not to be expected in the following. Rather, aromatic and balsamic smells unfold in the heart note . Sensual, animalistic amber spreads emphatically here and is muffled by patchouli with an herbaceous sultriness. Compared to the original perfume, L'Homme Intense strikes a coarser note from the start. Even in the base note remains Intense masculine. Woody and smoky nuances dominate here of fine sandalwood, strong tonka bean and leather create a seductive sillage. Chic, Angular Glass Bottle I've tried it every now and then for months now. Intense is just too sweet to me, speak, sweet in the wrong way. A slightly leathery, almost fruity sweetness. Where others think they like it because it's not as powdery or dusty as Dior Homme (Intense) or Valentino Uomo (Intense), I miss something like this as a counterweight to weave the sweetness into an odorous carpet that I find pleasant in the long run. MARLEN: So, along the same lines, John, many folks have become familiar with iris as a main fragrance note since the launch of Dior Homme. How would you say the Pradas compare to other mainstream iris fragrances?

When thinking about the takeover of the Valentino Uomo fragrance line from Puig by L'Oreal I remember that the L'Oreal labeled Valentino Uomo Intense smelled different to me in comparison to older Puig bottles and that was quite noticeable. The Prada is a clean man who is linear, but by no means boring. It is much more flexible to wear than the other two fragrances I have just mentioned. It can even be integrated into everyday working life - something I wouldn't dare do with Valentino.
