L'Homme Prada 2016

After so many positive comments, statements and reviews of Prada L'Homme I thought, nothing can go wrong with a blind purchase.

Some reviews have said that the "Water Splash", the latest bottle, smells similar and you can get it even if you don't own one of the series yet. However, the durability of the Water Splash didn't seem to be that good.

So I first looked for a souk of the Water Splash and had it sent to me. Sprayed on immediately, I thought "Wow, that's a really good smell!". Now of course I was curious how the Prada L'Homme smells, the "father" of the scent, and ordered it almost blind
I would have described myself - since I owned the Dior Homme Intense - as an "opponent" of iris fragrances. I always found iris to be an annoying note that took away my breath. However, as far as irises were concerned, I only had the Dior Homme Intense in my collection. So at the beginning I was really a little sceptical whether Prada L'Homme would work for me - because of the iris.

When the bottle arrived, I naturally sprayed it immediately on my forearm to test it.

The first impression was very sobering. "He smells so sweet." I like sweet scents. But that was just unexpected A whole 10 seconds later, however, my opinion changed abruptly. "So there's the iris. "Wow. Not pushy like in Dior Homme Intense. I can still breathe!".
I was fascinated. The scent composition, perfectly balanced. A hint of sweetness at the beginning, fresh, iris - I was blown away!

Now it is so that you have to get used to some fragrances before you fall in love with them. With me and Prada L'Homme, I have worn the fragrance every day since I got it.

The fragrance suits every occasion. It is absolutely not obtrusive, it smells - as so many have aptly said - "clean", fresh and clean.

Now, of course, I like to have the fragrance evaluated by my environment and ask my friends and acquaintances my universally popular question "do you smell my perfume? What do you think of it?".

The reactions were very unexpected with this fragrance.

"What perfume? I smell nothing!" Was here the reaction I got the most often.

I had wondered if the fragrance really had such a bad sillage and was already panicking that it wasn't worth its money.
So I pulled out the bottle and sprayed a spray in the direction of my best friend.

"Do you smell that now?"
His answer: "Oh, that's the perfume that smells so good here! I thought it was from your laundry! It smells mega nice!".

Mega nice. Just the reaction I would have expected ;-)

The scent was generally very well received, provided it was recognized as such. Often my surroundings thought that it was my laundry that smelled so good.

All in all, I can say that Prada L'Homme is taking the place of my Layton, as I wear it every day now. It suits every occasion, just smells good, fresh, discreetly powdery and therefore doesn't rub off anywhere. In my opinion a fragrance that everyone should have smelled once!

Thank Prada for this masterpiece!
