the neat and tidy man, always ready
Fragrance progression:
opens extremely pleasant with slightly spicy pepper, neroli and of course the main character iris throughout the fragrance. A fragrance that changes little over its duration on the skin and then fades away beautifully woody with a soft base.
Longevity:
it lasts really well for this type of composition. I get through the working day reasonably well and can then put on something else in the evening or not, depending on my mood, as it is very close to the skin but still lasts a long time. Solid 7-8
Sillage:
rather low, as you would expect. But that is what it is made for and a monstrous sillage is not desirable and not feasible due to its character alone. Rather low 6 with a tendency towards 7.
Flacon:
inconspicuous, but of high quality, therefore fits the fragrance perfectly. The heaviness of the bottle with its grip and the rather high-quality lid are absolutely appropriate for the price, even above average on the designer shelf. Thus a solid 7 with a tendency towards an 8.
Price/performance:
good to very good. Most designers now scream at you, either with their synthetics or with the shrill flacon with the most bizarre shapes, or often both. Prada L'Homme goes its own way here and is worth every euro it costs. And it's not extremely expensive, but of course it's not cheap either. Therefore also a solid 8.
with what to compare/reminds me of:
fresh laundry. I hardly know any fragrances that can do that. Yes, there are some that try to score points with their powderiness, Orange Flamingo and Luna Rossa Black come to mind, which also embody this fresh, well-groomed image in a reasonable way. But they often lose themselves in a twist, too much fruit or sweetness, so this one stays true to its character if you can't or don't want to risk anything in business.
suitable for:
mainly for men, of course, but I don't see why a lady couldn't wear this in the office, meeting etc.
Seasons/temperature:
I see it in every season, it actually always works, even almost completely independent of the temperature. It would probably be a little too flowery for me at the height of summer, but otherwise you're equipped for anything.
Conclusion: the legend of "clean" iris fragrances. Together with its dark brother, they form a sensational duo, depending on the occasion and season. I cannot recommend the watered-down flankers Splash or L'Eau.
Also belongs in almost every collection of a "perfumer of today" because of its manageable price.

Unfortunately, I can't wear it. The fragrance develops a very bizarre and unpleasant note on me. Like fried bacon with baby powder. Weird
