About this deal

I've always had a special love for this fragrance, despite the fact that NO ONE I've asked has ever liked it on me. Whatever. I wear fragrances for ME, not to impress other people. Prada Amber Pour Homme, also known as Prada Man, is a fragrance that exudes sophistication and elegance. From the moment you first spray it on, you'll be captivated by its intriguing blend of warm, spicy, and woody notes. When it dries down, it settles down to a modern take on incense. Imagine James Bond infiltrating Shaolin Temple in monk robes and insists on putting on fragrance, this would be it. Scent summary: modern incense powder.

Another standout feature of Prada Amber Pour Homme is its longevity. It lasts for several hours without fading, so you can enjoy the scent throughout the day. Additionally, the sillage, or the fragrance trail it leaves behind, is just right, making it noticeable without being overpowering.

One of the things that makes Prada Amber Pour Homme so special is its versatility. It's suitable for any occasion, whether you're dressed up for a formal event or simply heading out for a casual day. This fragrance is perfect for any season, and it can be worn day or night. Yes, it has this clean, soapy tone and I'm here for it! One could say that with this gentle, balsamic soapiness it might be the masculine equivalent of Chanel No5! Prada Amber Pour Homme is the first Prada fragrance, launched after the female one, also in oriental composition based upon amber. The perfumer Daniela Roche-Andrier created the composition in four basic accords : Amber – the main accord, rich and complex oriental base which includes amber, vanilla, labdanum, Tonka and patchouli; Fougere – or the aromatic accord with a remarkable soapy note, includes notes of pelargonium, vetiver, orange blossom and myrrh at the heart; Cologne – the refreshing citrusy top of bergamot, mandarin, neroli and cardamom; Leather – leather note is present at the base of the composition (leather, saffron and sandalwood). Miuccia Prada, the granddaughter of the founder, who turned grandfather’s leather goods design into a large company, personally took part in creating of this perfume. “I just tried to imagine what I would like if I were a man.” Maybe due to the fact that it was created by a female hand, the fragrance is not aggressive at all, like it might have been expected from an oriental fragrance with leather and amber. Instead, it is very elegant and masculine gentle. I recently bought a 10ML sample of Prada Amber based solely on these memories from my adolescence. It is a fine, even a lovely scent. Very modern for its time, and does not smell dated in 2022. I don't know why, but I was not expecting it to be SO amber-y on the dry-down. But the top is all soap and clean neroli powder. I'd argue that these three fragrances, all still in production, were all genre-defying scents that changed (for the better) the trajectory of men's fragrances.

I remember that first time I smelled it I thought of Provance and it's airy lavender fields scorched by the summer sun because it's still very resinous and floral. If you came here looking for a proper soapy beast, try Pour Lui by Oscar de la Renta. The first version (with "Résine de Labdanum de France" as on the plaque) made me marvel at its sharpness brought by cardamon, aldehyde and neroli. And then the powdery contour by labdanum, patchouli and the signature synthetic animalic note of Adrier. I wasn't realize this bottle has anchored my taste for fragrance since then until I find myself keep seek the beauty of something like L'Eau d'hiver or J'adore EdP (1999 formula). It's the contrast somehow emerges from delicate, continuous layers of nuance that keep drawing me to smelling a little longer. Also the twist of existed genres: ApH has a fougére structure, only the patchouli-resin base is heavily articulated its greasiness and cocooning texture, as the "modern amber" conceived by Adrier and further developed into following Amber perfumes.This fragrance was released in 2006, and I remember vividly how enchanted I was with the smell of this fragrance which, as a small town boy, I only encountered via samples in glossy magazines. The beautiful ads featuring Eddie Klint certainly didn't hurt either. The comparison to soap that has been made by so many was part of what led me to try this fragrance, but as I have come to love it I’ve wanted to better understand the composition’s underlying complexity. It has taken me awhile to sort out my impressions because everything I'm describing happens on a very subtle level. Here goes: my signature scent. i did not regret buying this. it is a blind buy. And i think i would like to smell clean like a bar of soap. And I did. Except the first impression it smells like johnson2 baby powder. The smell isnt something special. Heres why it become special to me. I usually spray this after having a bath, and each time i remember how it smells in the bath, i clean thoroughly furiously bathing. lol. And after i applied it, I feel like im cleaning myself over and over, i feel fresh and clean. In high heat, this things sparkle and sort of boosts itself so when im doing sports i felt like im bathing with a clean sweat of my own. Its that big of a mind changer. This is a very sophisticated, calm, well thought through and masterfully blended fragrance that goes so well with a suit I've owned many bottles of it since its release, being mercilessly complemented by co-workers. It never disappoints. Luxury is about attention to detail, that's what you pay for and this truly is a luxurious haute parfumerie, but at a reasonable price actually.

The opening notes of bergamot, mandarin, and neroli give way to a heart of cardamom, geranium, and vetiver. The base notes of patchouli, tonka bean, vanilla, and sandalwood provide a warm and inviting finish to this masculine fragrance.

It's balmy, yet sweet..complicated, yet simple. Hard to put your finger on, and hard to describe. There's something misty, foggy, and powdery about it. It's clean, spicy, and sharp all at the same time. On my skin, it's smooth and sexy. I picture this fragrance being worn by a well-groomed, suit-and-tie, 30-something man. It's very metrosexual, as a man who takes care of himself. hours ago from now specifically yesterday.. October 3rd , 2022.. I wore 10 sprays of Prada Amber pour homme EDT for the first time when I went to celebrate the night of Saint Teresa of the Child Jesus in her beautiful ancient church in Shubra street, Cairo. Very complex, evolving gently around the main accord of fougere-amber, so far from linear performance and as comfortable as the softest cashmere knitwear. With this juice on, I feel—and smell—so clean. Not just squeaky clean, but the luxurious kind of clean. Something that I might not afford even if I abstain from fine bread for a month or so. On train rides, around the corner of my eyes I see members of the crowd too, secretly trying to catch some whiffs of my scent, which probably radiates from an arm’s length. It stays like that for seven to ten hours, until it fades to a manlier skin trace. Manlier, I say, because at its early stage, this scent is more inclined to being androgynous. As I had mentioned earlier. I was saddened to hear that Amber Pour Homme might be discontinued, both because it puts something lovely out of reach but also because the perfume landscape (and certainly PRADA’s line) will be poorer without it. In my opinion, this fragrance deserves the iconic status of being considered the reference 'soapy' men's fragrance… Aside from being highly original in conception and execution, it offers a sane iteration of a genre so prevalent in the 21st century, that of unconventional presentations of natural materials (supported by a very conspicuous thematizing of synthetics) to create spatially detached, urban-minimalist, post-industrial and futuristic effects… Amber Pour Homme can indeed smell like a ‘dryer sheet’ and yet does not wear as something inert, ‘bloblike’, monolithic, faddishly conceptual, or pointedly artificial…Instead, it is persistently warm, balanced, mobile, complex, expressive and reasoned – in short, it is good company for the human skin. While I get fairly moderate performance out of PRADA Amber Pour Homme, I find it easy to wear day after night after day, not because it is ‘office safe’ or ‘a dumb reach’, but because it is so quietly rich and thoughtfully designed -- a thinking person's soapy bliss.
