Prada L'Homme the Montale way
I've been looking for a good scent for a while now, a scent that I can wear either in casual settings or in the office, a scent that is clean and fresh and at the same time doesn't fog my surroundings too much. Preferably something floral and not citric and also unisex.
A classic on the market for an office environment is from the designer corner ja Prada L'Homme, lovingly praised by the German YouTuber "JF" as "best soap fragrance on the market with a luxury touch". Yes, Prada L'Homme smells great, but is zero on my skin, so my search for a fragrance with a similar profile began. With Montale White Musk I might have found what I was looking for. But the scent DNA of White Musk and L'Homme is by no means comparable, a glance at the scent pyramids is enough to understand that. But what they are comparable in is the "type" of fragrances: gentle, pure, floral, like freshly washed laundry.
How musk smells in its pure form, I don't really have any idea. I even read that some people can't perceive musk at all. Again and again, perfumes have musk in the base note and I always wondered what exactly musk smells like? White Musk seems to enlighten me a bit, because (white) musk is supposed to be in here a lot. First of all, the fragrance is very clearly white-floral in its character. The linearity of the scent doesn't seem to bother me, which makes White Musk as a perfume easy to understand. Although Montale, especially because of his affinity to oriental scents, often brings real powerhouses on the market ( -> Oud Blablabla), White Musk belongs to those who are rather reserved. However, reserved doesn't mean directly skin-tight, at least for the first one and a half hours the scent still projects noticeably well on my skin.
By a sweet-floral and very subtle animal note, that's how I would describe this musk, the shelf life of Montale White Musk is noticeably extended up to 8 hours (that's about 8 times longer than Prada on my skin). Exactly this note makes the fragrance a unisex fragrance for me, too, which is basically feminine with flowery and soapy nuances, but I would definitely wear it as a man
