Prada (for women)

Adriana_87

This is amber at its best,i feel sofisticated and strong when i wear this.It suits a young,strong and trendy woman who knows what she wants,and wants only the best!I love it!

lazy, sleepy and relaxed scent of summer evening somewhere in Rome over a desert...Nice but not special - pachuli and amber - there are more interesting versions of this.

I have often viewed the minimalist Prada bottle, slightly off-kilter, pale pink packaging, neatly feminine & understated. I wrongly believed it to contain a city-worker-rose type scent - a crisp, functional floral. How wrong could I be!

One spray & I was wrapped in a deep, dark warmth...this juice is not pink, it is a rich, glowing gold, a smooth amber duvet of the highest quality eider-down that has held me softly for over 8 hours.

Prada's amber arrow flew straight to my heart: I could detect only a whisper of the top notes before the heart of the fragrance briefly bloomed. Luckily for me, no carnations - just honeyed jasmine & powdery rose. All the while the resins & amber remain in the background, the silent starlets of the show, their spotlight slowly growing as the perfume warms to the skin.

The warmth is like the glowing embers in a smoky wood fire, no unnecessary sugar, just a light & creamy bitter caramel coating. If you like a well-mannered patchouli, you will love the way it is handled in this fragrance - obvious, but tempered with vanilla, sandalwood & musk. It is spicy, classy & heavenly. A reasonable, yet polite sillage & good staying-power.

The drydown is slightly similar to Agent Provocateur Strip, though Strip is loud, brash, likes to go out late, smoke, drink & party before she finally throws of her clothes & calms into her glowing seductive warmth. Prada skips the dirty partying & goes straight for the sensual, seductive, earthiness they share.

Prada is confident not cocky, warm but not sweet, seductive without being overtly sexual, feminine without reaching for the cliched sugar-frosted-bouquet approach. My new grown-up crush...straight onto my want list!

Hi friend, who can tell me the right notes of Prada? Above there are two kinds of notes. I mean, do Tonka beans and oakmoss including? The pictures and the caption, which is right?
thank you very much!

Full of patchouli, and hollivomitsyou said it right, it's like Neonatura Cocoon, only I think this is slightly better done. Would be nice on cold, blustery days, it's a bit too spicy for summer.

hollivomitsyou

really like all of the notes listed, but only got amber on my skin. reminds me a little of neonatura cocoon.

I bought Prada in 2007 and didn't use it very often, the fragrance seemed to heavy for me.
I just tried it again recently, just to change and fell in love with it again.
I still can't wear it on the everyday basis, since as a person I'm bored very fast, but when i wear it it's different from all other perfumes i have. I adore it.

When I tried this I was struck by the similarity to Yves Rocher's Voile d'Ambre, which I own.
The same rich glowy fruity-spicy amber, the same facets I like and the same facets I don't like. I didn't get to do a side-by-side, so don't take my word for it, but it may be something to consider if you're thinking of purchasing this one! The YR retails for much less.

Nice Amber, I dont do amber very well for some reason, but this I could do... Soft, Subtle, and Sensual on my skin. This would be something to add to my collection. After sitting around on my wrist, I start to get some of that floral... This is nice...
must have some Cute bottle too.

Kama

I think it is very sophisticated, sexy perfume!
But this is the perfume for amber lovers...
Love it or hate it...
I love it… got it as Valentine’s present as my boyfriend finds it as the sexiest perfume on earth...
Well..He has masculine Prada Amber that I also find them as very classy and interesting scent for men...

Russian

It is elegant and,but way too heavy for me.I can detect only some of the notes of this fragrance,which I consider a bad thing.
Sophisticated?I wouldn't say.

BlackAmberMoon

A watered-down version of Obsession, with some patchouli thrown in. I like it, but it's so similar to Obsession (which I have and love), that I don't feel the need to own it.

Kama

Prada is really beautiful perfume! Few years ago I didn't like them and found them a strong oriental perfume for old lady... Now I have changed my mind!! I sprayed them on my wrist at the shopping mall, to give them one more try....and I have fal in love with them!
They are oriental but warm and intriguing as they change on skin... In the biginng they reminded me of Agent Provocateur, but more of AP Eau Emotionelle...then after a while it was like a mixture of Organza Indecence, Agent Provocateur, and Agent Provocateur Eau Emotionelle.
Now it is more settled and it is like mixture of 3 above, but also vanilla from Cinema YSL(just a bit)...
I love them! They are so sexy pefume! They are on my wish list for next perfume shopping!

Viyella

I am 30 and I thought, lthough I loved the smell, it is for an older woman. Deffinitely for the winter.

Surreal

All my life I have been truth to Chanel but it has gotten competition. I love orientals and this is just an amazing heavy, but not sickening perfume. I don't see why it's only for winter or evening, I wear it all the time. Just spray once in your neck and touch your wrists against it because yes, it is strong stuff. Warm, sensual, sexy and rich. I really fell in love.

DawnLady3

I find this far too strong and cloying. Like debbborra I also smell strong chocolate - it reminds me of Angel, which I also don't like - and I smell a slightly decaying earthiness as well. Definitely not for me.

tessture

Too heavy and suffocating. An oriental with a heavy hand.

Taliera

It was a nice floral up until the patchouli... then it became "rotten"

debbborra

The notes blend. So, except for the amber and resin, I don't smell the individual notes like the citrus and fruit and flowers, I smell what the mixture of the notes becomes. In the shop what I smelled was something like a delicate and expensive stick of incense. This is a very feminine and exotic vibe. So, I bought it.

On me, at home, now that I'm really experiencing it fully it's the oddest thing. I still get the incense - what I didn't smell in the store that's very prominent now is chocolate and olive. Neither of these are official notes, and I'm not sure if I'm the only person in the world who smells it this way, but yes, olives and chocolate.

It's a sophisticated and interesting fragrance. Spray it on your skin before purchase, of course, that's always good advice no matter what fragrance you're about to plunk down your cash upon.

Tonya

Oh, how I fight the temptation to make this purchase for myself before the holidays. I am TOTALLY ADDICTED to this fragrance. Earthy and nice, calming . . . exquisite!

pimentosugars

I want to like this perfume because the bottle looks so classy and modern, and at first the fragrance is like that too, a modern twist on cologne, sophisticated and memorable, not too sweet. Then very quickly it dries to a forgettable powdery nothing with a slight synthetic edge. If someone gave me this, I would probably wear it for work or travelling, because it does have a business like chic, but I wouldn't spend my own cash on it.

elia.osan

This is a very elegant perfume. This is the first day I use it. The smell is great!

aspida

This has to be the most luxurious , most sensual, most everlasting fragrance I have used for a very long time. The most delicate of fragrances lingers with you and seems to get better by the hour!

flugeltje013

Now that I think of it, it smells a bit like Flower oriental by Kenzo. But sweeter. And I think this is suitable for men too.

Ninulia

ALl of the Pradas are very sexy, feminine, and sophisticated, U should try it on every style and season it goes for all...

newgabe

I ought to like this, as I love genuine amber and many of the other supposed ingredients. But for me it is a disappointment, to the point of being a scrubber. There is some sort of chemical melon hard in the top notes that turns my stomach.. the softer base notes are too sweet to be interesting. I will give this away the first chance I get.

flugeltje013

My mother has it, perfect for winter, it reminds me of christmas.. :-) Altough I have used it in summer too. I think it smells clean, incensy, but strong and longlasting. Very nice

Candra

I remember that i bought this fragrance in the end of 2005 and I noticed that every time i used this perfume I was in tears. This perfume gave me bad luck every time i used it. I have bad memories of this perfume. I gave my bottle away. The smell is great though, but is didn't work for me.

cocomademoisellerie

if you want to shock your dentist or anyon else who comes near to you, that should be your choice.

guest_solocha

I love this fragrance, it is warm and sweet with oriental tones. My boyfriend can smell mud in it.

Urban Skies

Elegant, fresh, exotic. Reminds me of a modern update of Fendi.
