Found it.

This is exactly what I wanted. I forked out the cash to get Prada L'homme a few years ago but have only recently come to really appreciate it. And man do I love it!! So powdery fresh. Unisex in the best possible way.

I wanted something similar that I could wear on a daily basis without having to worry about the cost to get a new bottle haha.

And this is it.

Now granted, the first 10 to 15 minutes you probably won't be too impressed. During that time it smells decent enough but nowhere near l'homme.
But just let it sit. The longer you wait the better it gets, especially on skin.

Just today I sprayed both fragrances on separate tester strips to compare and contrast. Side by side l'homme is a bit smoother/ softer, but the longer I let them both settle the harder it is to detect a difference.

Evoke's performance might be slightly better as well, both in silage and longevity.

One final note I do have to add is that just today I was wearing evoke gold and got a compliment from a woman who said I smelled like popcorn lol.
I really don't have much commentary on her statement (I don't think it smells anything like popcorn) but at the very least it's proof that you'll get compliments if you wear this fragrance.

Eefinally a mega Prada L'Homme clone

For sooooo long I've been looking for a good clone of Prada L'Homme, famously the king of the office, the absolute "clean man" scent. I have owned the Prada for a year, also the Intense version. A wonderful fragrance, I do not have to say much about it. I can't remember exactly why, but I sold both of them. They were literally snatched out from under me. Is no wonder, I thought to myself.

Since I'm an absolute fan of those fragrances that play in the price / performance category at the top, I have long looked around for a clone of the Prada, without now reaching into the Eclat or D&P shelf. My hopes were very much placed on Orient, who are known to have brought very good dupes of the well-known fragrances on the market at a reasonable price and still do. But for a long time nothing came from Arabia either. Until in 2018, "Evoke Gold Edition for Him" by Ajmal suddenly appeared! Touted by many perfume freaks from all over the world as a Prada L'Homme dupe, so I had to get that one. Found it online, a fragrance shop from the United Kingdom, Manchester.

Once I arrived, I couldn't wait to retrieve the "gold" from the brown padded envelope. After I shredded the envelope, a shiny, glittery gold box was revealed. A bit ostentatious, I thought. Further inside, even more gold what shone! The bottle is shiny gold in color and has two notches on the sides for a firm grip. So the flanker can't just slip out of your hands. A circle is notched in the middle, and the spray head along with the cap is placed off-center. Stylistically exciting.

But is all that glitters really gold? Does there come out a fragrance that fulfills my dreams of Prada as soon as I press the sprayer? The first spray... And there it is! There it is! Pure excitement, ecstasy! There's the Prada I've been waiting for so long. The one I've been waiting for. Couldn't be that hard, I think to myself. The opening starts off fresh and peppery, with the pepper coming on subtly here. Neroli dominates in the first few seconds. In a few seconds, and this is no exaggeration, the powdery iris that is so characteristic of Prada follows. Amber joins in and keeps the iris in check at first. As of now, I thought ok, this one is drifting into sweetness but after 5-10 minutes, the powdery iris reasserts itself and also barely lets itself be smothered by the wood and earth in the base. So overall it retains this lovely fresh powdery, very slightly woody "clean" quality. And it does so for a long time, longer than the original. After 8 hours, it is still perceptible. The sillage is above average, though I've only dosed it discreetly so far. In the further weeks it will show how it behaves with the H+S.

A very successful masterpiece by Ajmal, huge compliments from my side! Except for the initial battle between iris and amber, the Ajmal Evoke is 95% of the Prada L'Homme. If you want a cheaper version of the original here that lasts longer and gives off a stronger vibe, this is the one to grab. Look around on the internet, in Germany it is currently rarer to have. I have as I said, the 90ml Flanker from UK for about 40€ get.

Ajmal phone L'homme

In a nutshell, it’s a clone of Prada’s L’homme and a pretty damn good one at that. Like most clones however, it’s missing a few details here and there in the drydown; but what it lacks in complexity, it more than makes up for in performance. In fact, that’s literally why I bought it.

The opening is a beautiful blast of watery iris and pepper – spot on Prada L’homme in my book. Neroli isn’t really a major player at the top, but within a few moments, there’s a powdery sweetness that comes in from the vanilla-leaning amber. As it dries down, it becomes distinctly soapier, with a dash of floral sourness from the geranium. However, whereas Prada L’homme adds a morsel of chocolaty powder in the mid and base, Evoke Gold simply replaces it with a more prominent neroli and liquid sweetness, generally characteristic of most modern clones that wish to appeal to a wider demographic.

Nevertheless, the overall effect is rather calming and perhaps leaning a tad more feminine than Prada’s original creation. And in the contemporary spirit of cloning popular fragrances with alternative synthetic ingredients, you can generally expect to exchange scent quality for a significant increase in performance. And I mean a SIGNIFICANT increase. This stuff literally screams for a solid hour and half before giving up the wheel and sticking around for another 7 hours plus - a nearly 3-fold improvement over Prada. If it shone like a light, you could probably see it from space. In fact, Evoke Gold is probably your best bet if you were ever stranded on a deserted island. Your scent would carry on the North Atlantic current and you could easily use the wacky reflective gold bottle to signal passing planes. No jokes. Maybe even bring down a satellite or two…

Of course I’m being facetious, but the difference in performance really is quite noticeable. And as an added bonus, the stuff actually starts to smell like CK Be in the far drydown! An odd twist of events, but there you go.

Overall, I have to say that for a relatively inexpensive fragrance, I’m impressed with the execution of Evoke Gold for him. If Prada L’homme was an indoor scent, this could be the outdoor version, at the meager expense of a little note density in the drydown. Sure, it may not be a perfect clone, but as a daily soap-faring workhorse, I’ll take the added projection and longevity over a few measly notes any day of the week. Like I said, that’s why I bought it.
