Prada L'Homme. Touted by Jeremy Fragrance as the "clean man" ; A professional, clean office or everyday scent. Sounds good, right? And one thing in advance with this recommendation from our (favorite) - YouTubers was not promised too much

Now for my opinion and story about this fragrance. About 2 months ago I ordered my first sample of Prada L'Homme here in the Souk and was immediately blown away. As the occasion of my recently passed school leaving examination so wanted, I finally asked for the opportunity to wear a suit again. In contrast to the majority of my peers (classmates), I love and loved the feeling of wearing a suit and I was happy to finally slip into it again.

Suit on, tie tied and now of course the question of the matching fragrance arose. And yes, I was really happy to have a sample of Prada L'Homme in the house. Arriving yesterday and never tested before, yet this day was to serve as an experiment. Sure, it could have backfired, but the reviews and notes made me feel (correctly) safe. So I applied 5 splashes and wow I liked the opening

For the first 2-3 minutes I still felt an alcoholic touch, but this was quickly replaced by the very dominant and characteristic iris. Beside these flowery, quite heavy notes, one can also recognize the subliminal, but very successful, background with the spice of the pepper.

The fragrance is quite linear, not in the sense of boring, but much more in the sense of a harmonious composition. With time, the fragrance becomes less obtrusive and also bearable on the skin (here it was previously a bit too much of a good thing). Furthermore, the scent in the drydown smells a bit sweeter and warmer, at least for my one; generally simply more tolerable, but also more inconspicuous

In the first 2 hours this fragrance brings a mad silage. Got 2 compliments in that time, so I'm sure the world can smell it. Besides, and I really like this very much, the scent was also perceived above average for myself during this time. This is all the more pleasing as I belong to the variety Parfumo, which after some time often cannot smell itself anymore. After the above mentioned (maximum) 2 hours, the radius in which you are perceived becomes steadily and unfortunately also quite quickly smaller. After 4 hours I only smell something very close, after about 6 hours I had to make an effort to be able to perceive something. However, one must definitely give credit to this scent that it really performs very well in the beginning.

All in all: a top fragrance! For me it fits perfectly with chic clothing, conveys a noble and valuable feeling and encourages an upright posture. With this fragrance you definitely don't have to hide yourself and simply feel good and self-confident. According to my test experience so far, it is very popular with both men and women and has never met with (strong) rejection, i.e. a very common scent

Beside the normal version the Prada L'Homme Intense has joined my collection since 2 weeks, which I also appreciate very much. If I find the time, I will review it and point out some parallels and differences. But as you can see by buying another version of this fragrance, I am definitely excited about Prada's hobbyhorse. I can only recommend to every perfume, even every perfuma, to buy a bottle of this fragrance (and also the Intense version) and test it. I would almost want to make a "blind buy recommendation" here, but I still recommend testing, because I don't want to shoulder the burden of responsibility of a bad buy induced by me.

First of all, the more "unimportant" things. In my opinion, the bottle is nice, but not the yellow of the egg either. The previous speakers have already sufficiently described the similarities to certain "toys". The sprayer of the flacon surprised me very much, it sprays itself in contrast to many other fragrances from this price segment very high-quality and good.
Now to the part which probably motivated me to read the review. The scent

This fragrance composition is opened with an interplay of lavender and vanilla, in the first few minutes with an alcoholic touch, which however quickly fades away. Bergamot, which according to the information should also determine the head, but I can't sniff it, well, anyway, it smells good without it!

According to my perception, the scent is relatively linear, which I personally find quite pleasant. The lavender, which is very dominant at first, disappears and a sweet composition of vanilla and amber shapes the olfactory perception. If you take the time to analyse the scent really carefully, the coffee note will also be more present in your own olfactory perception, but I find it rather inappropriate to call the reformulation of this scent a "coffee scent". As mentioned above, the note is certainly perceptible, but rather subliminal and as an underlining ingredient of the rest of the composition. Should a buyer have the same intention as I did at the time of purchase, to smell coffee for the untrained nose of the world around, I don't think he will make the right choice. The "headline" of this review describes this fragrance in a few words quite concisely and appropriately, in my opinion. The buyer gets the experience of a visit in a café, in which not only coffee, but also sweet - and pasta of other kinds are offered. I smell in this fragrance, even if not indicated, for example a subtle honey note.
In Conclusio the fragrance brings much more sweetness and less coffee than expected, how to evaluate this is up to everyone.

I would describe the durability of the fragrance as average. On my skin the scent lasts for about 6 hours, but with the beginning of the 4th hour it loses its sillage and can only be smelled close to the skin, especially in the first hours it smells good to the environment.

Summing up, I would not like to suggest a buy recommendation here, but neither would I advise against the purchase. Depending on how much importance is attached to the actual perceptibility of the scent "coffee", you can either be disappointed or discover a new favourite scent. My search for the fragrance, which primarily smells like freshly ground coffee, will definitely not end here, but I am happy to welcome the "Rochas Man" in my collection!

Contrary to the prevailing opinion the fragrance smells too cheap or chemical I must clearly say that here is an opinion unjustified and exaggerated bashing practiced with. To compare this scent with Le Male is of course not useful, because it has a completely independent scent DNA.
Mint and citric scents dominate both the top note and the fragrance in its later course. After some time the musk becomes more present and the fragrance thus "sweeter", which I personally like. All in all good to wear in summer, especially for younger men or teenagers. Thumbs up, a refreshing summer scent.

Contrary to my opinion that the scents of Rituals are not composed with the necessary refinement (wherever it may come from), I must say that this fragrance is a true masterpiece. In my opinion by far the best fragrance (with Bleu Byzantine) of the Rituals "Eau de Parfum" - Collection and especially in autumn/winter extremely good to wear. The durability is great and the combination of amber and musk can be smelled out well.
In my opinion definitely worth a visit in a Ritual Store.

The perfume is indeed unknown and to my knowledge only available in the Canarian Islands in the shop Fundgrube (and/or on the website of this same chain of shops), but if the opportunity to buy it opens up it is highly recommended. Fresh, aquatic notes with a touch of sweetness. For me, my absolute favourite scent, probably primarily due to very nice memories associated with this scent. The shelf life is not the best, but I would rate it as slightly above average. All in All a good fragrance for a good price.
