Self-betrayal
Prada approached L`Homme more from Dior's perspective than from its own, relying on the Prada virtues and values.
Prada has always been famous for its powdery iris. Not least, Infusion d`Homme and Infusion d`Iris stem from Daniela Andrier's artistic understanding. Now, Prada has taken on the sweet variant, and has consequently (inevitably) slipped into the Dior Homme track. Well, nothing new. If one were to list and reflect on the Dior Homme variations, one could fill libraries with them.
Somehow, I find the story around Prada L´Homme extraordinarily unfortunate. Daniela Andrier, who always conjured up powdery-fresh iris scents, must admit here that the sweet powdery iris variant is actually already overdone. Now Prada is merely jumping on a train that has long since left the station. And this, I sadly feel, makes all the old Prada masterpieces unnecessarily look outdated, as a simply sweet powdery iris now simply feels out of fashion, absolutely "copied" and almost denies its own perspectives from the past. I would have preferred a leather iris, a saffron iris, an amyris iris, or something more unusual, but not a sweet Dior iris.
Yes, the scent is stable and nothing was done wrong, a go-to that always flatters.
Yes, it is finely crafted.
No, the projection is not as desired.
Njein, the longevity is okay, but soon only a skin scent.
Yes, L´H is ultimately very, very harmless.
No, I will not buy it.
Yes, it is true, patchouli is starving.
No, neroli is not enough to sufficiently serve and maintain the Prada virtues.
Yes, it is somewhat cooler than Dior Homme.
No, the floral component is not pure iris. However, this is a weak consolation.
No, it does not come close to Dior.
Yes, it is more modern and streamlined than its French counterpart.
Njein, L´H does not really have any recognizability.
Yes, it is in a way "lighter" than the big brother from Dior.
Yes, it is in a way "thinner" than its French brother.
Yes, it gets lost among all the Dior Homme variations.
Yes, Dior Homme has been further diluted.
No, the base is not as sweet as one might assume, and is also absolutely meager.

Dior is great for young people, especially at parties (but it runs the risk of being a mainstream scent). And Prada is better suited for office life.
(Please forgive me for rewriting this comment, but the old one had some typos thanks to autocorrect.)
