L’Homme Prada is a fragrance of pairs, of doubles, of juxtapositions and layers. The classic codes of the male Fougère are all present in Neroli, Geranium and Patchouli. Yet the interchangeable male/female Prada signatures are present, too, in the shape of Iris and Amber, the principal elements. It is a mix that is both airy and yet purposefully, highly sensual.1
So, I didn’t hate La Femme Prada, but I didn’t exactly adore it either. I get another chance with L’Homme Prada, also from perfumer Daniela Andrier, and hey, take a look at the brand’s description above. Doesn’t that sound an awful lot like Prada Amber Pour Homme, maybe with a smidgen of Prada Infusion d’Iris (or Infusion d’Homme) thrown in for good measure? Such a thing would suit me fine: I liked Amber Pour Homme,2 and so did an awful lot of other women…
