Sexy and animalistic
Prada has really outdone themselves with this beautiful, ambery oriental. It has me wondering why mainstream brands always seem to knock me dead with their exclusive, hard-to-find releases.
Prada Opoponax No.8 is quite sensual, warm and elegant. It opens with rich, resinous and slightly buttery opoponax and galbanum, with a subtle, citrusy hint of bergamot, which surprisingly works.
As it dries on the skin, Opoponax No.8 turns quite powdery, yet it maintains it's delicious spiciness, and golden syrup type accord throughout. The musk also kicks in quite early in the composition, adding an animalistic touch, that smells oddly clean at the same time.
The resins in this fragrance can be quite sweet, making it very feminine and sexy. In order to believe that this fragrance could work equally as well on men, I think I'd have to try it and see. The way I view Prada Opoponax No.8 is with great admiration. I think it's a total man magnet.
Unfortunately the only downer is the lasting strength which is surprisingly weak. I have worn this fragrance twice in the last few days, one time on a rainy day where it struggled to last a few hours, and again today, where I perhaps only enjoyed it for the duration of the morning but desperately needed a touch up come the afternoon.
Regardless of poor longevity, tossing it aside, Prada Opoponax No.8 is one of the most sensual and alluring orientals I've stumbled across in quite some time. If I ever have enough luck to find a bottle of this in my travels, I will be quick to purchase.
