Amber Pour Homme Intense is the new, reinterpreted and more intensive version of their debut male fragrance from 2006 Amber Pour Homme.Amber Pour Homme Intense defines that sophistication and masculinity of the original perfume and intensive aroma of amber with exquisite high-quality ingredients, in order to maintain the blend of tradition and modern trends that is immanent to Prada.

The oriental fougere composition highlights Italian bergamot, Somalia myrrh, Indonesian patchouli and vanilla from Madagascar as the main ingredients. Bergamot causes sparkly and fresh opening; hot and spicy resin of myrrh creates a rich and intense aroma; patchouli is attractive and seductive, while vanilla is a gentle and warm, completing the fragrance together with amber.

The bottle is designed like its predecessor: narrow and rectangular with a silver plate inscribed with the fragrances’ main notes. The new bottle is colored in intensive black, packed in an elegant gray box featuring the house logo.

Amber Pour Homme Intense is available from April 2011 in bottles of 50 and 100 ml EDP Intense and as deluxe edition with a high-tech spray of 100 ml EDP Intense.

Incredible scent. Smells very rich and interesting. To me it is a very smooth spicy kind of scent. The sweet element in this one is very soothing and sophisticated. Definitely one of my top favorites.

10 our of 10.

Amber Intense PH is my favorite Prada fragrance so far. TOTALLY UNISEX and I am so glad I bought it blindly for myself.
For the lovers of refined, smooth chocoloaty feel in fragrances. The amber, myrrh, patchouli and vanilla all boil down to this chocolate sensation and will keep you warm throughout the day, without making you oversweetened.The bergamot touch is fairly detectable but still it addds a nice flavour. One can feel the quality of ingredients in this composition - they all contribute to the wonderful effect achieved.
Sillage: medium (this is an enveloping rather than projecting fragrance)
Longevity: excellent
If you like darker, oriental, slightly chocolaty, warm but not too sweet clean scents - it's for you, regardless of your gender.
I have become a Prada girl thanks to this masterpiece.

Great frag, I agree that it is a grown up La Nuit De L'homme. Both are signature scent worthy for the winter.
The midnotes of myrtth and patch reminds me ever so slightly of a touch of chocolate which is very nice indeed. I like YSL's opening more but this has a much deeper and interesting drydown and last ages, although prjection is moderate in fall weather and weak for super cold weather.

Opens with green soapy bergamont and then quickly goes into the chocolate vanilla drydown which is quite beautiful.

Sadly, I have too many frags now and as such willing to part with either one.

I guess I prefer Tobacco Vanille and Musc Ravageur over these 2.

The opening of Amber Pour Homme Intense is a very sharp and strong patchouli and amber mix. It is not too soapy, but there is certainly the idea. I don't get any of the other notes until later on in the fragrance. In fact, I never get the listed bergamot note.

The middle of this one is quite interesting because of the arrival of the Myrrh. To be frank, I bought this fragrance as soon as I saw myrrh listed, because it is one of my favorite smells in the world. The middle is where the myrrh lovers will be rewarded. The patchouli mostly fades into an amber and resinous myrrh scent for the life of the cologne.

The base of this one, however, is very heavy on vanilla and amber. After the middle myrrh fades, a strong vanilla amber base is revealed for the resulting life of the fragrance.

The middle and base, to me, are where this fragrance shines. I am not a huge fan of the opening, but once it evolves, this is one of my favorites. Good projection and longevity, a great cologne for the colder weather, day and night.

Very disappointed in this one. There is nothing "intense" about this compared to the original. It just have a little more vanilla and it's not soapy like the original. Its no stronger in projection nor does it last any longer than the original (I think the original has better longevity). I like the original better than this and I wouldn't waste my money buying this. 6/10.

Prada Amber Pour Homme Intense

Opening: The opening is very woody, with myrrh tempering the initial patchouli/amber open. The first time I applied Prada Amber Intense Pour Homme, I was a bit overwhelemed. The amber/patchouli opening is intense, to say the least. While masculine, the open easily lends for the possibility of a feminine dry down, which scared me; luckily, the dry down is anything but feminine. Expect a 45 min to 1 hour open.

Mid-Notes: The transition into the dry down, for me, is a nice change. The mid-notes of vanilla take hold, but the amber / patchouli open remains prevalent. Expect the mid notes to begin 1 hour in through the 2 hour mark.

Dry Down: Absolutely fantastic; Easily the best dry down of any cologne I currently own. As a fan of clean colognes, the dry down into almost a talcum powder infused with the woody, opening hign notes balanced by the vanilla mid-notes is as close to the perfect sensual / clean balance imaginable. For fans of powdery, clean fragrances, this is a 10+/10 dry down, easily. The opening notes remain through the life of the fragrance, although subdued.

Sillage / Projection: While the open projects 3+ feet, the dry down projects at a 1+ foot. However, given my imagined purpose of the fragrance (please see below in final thoughts), it is perfect. The opening notes are to attract; the dry down is to keep close.

Longevity: I usually get 7-9 hours; however the next morning, can pick up the mid notes and dry down on my clothes.

Appropriateness: Cold nights. Given the strength of the open, this fragrance would strangle / choke many with any added projection. Please, for all of us, use this with others in mind.

Final Thoughts: This is an extremely situational fragrance. If used on a cold, winter night, you win; if used in the summer, people choke and die. If used appropriately, the open turns heads, but the dry down keeps the interest. This is a perfect fragrance for men with a love interest who want to keep her interested all night. From open to dry down, this is a sensual masterpiece.

It reminds me of a spicier, woodier version of the original Prada Amber PH, which I also love. You can tell there's a difference but you can also detect the heart of Amber in Intense.

I give this scent a 9/10.

Quick impression based upon one spray to arm while sampling other fragrances at the same time: A "rubbery" vanilla with patchouli and myrrh. It's a bit too simple and "synthetic" smelling for me, but if the notes sound good to you, I think you'll like this fragrance. I'd rather wear something like Mesmerize for Men by Avon, which is similar but more complex and has no rubbery quality, though it doesn't have the powdery qualities that this one does.

A mature fragrance for confident men.
Strong patchouli with a bergamot green smell may seem 'oldish' to some people but the drydown after worth waiting for.
You will be rewarded with an delighted oriental aura, not too strong, but smooth, warm and distinct, because the amber/myrrh/vanilla combination is doing a great job here.
Nothing harsh, nothing soapy just a sexy and inviting smell for fall/winter occasions. My rank 8.5/10.

Very nice - I'm really enjoying this over the original version. As many have said, the original has a rather soapy, barber shop quality that's clean and aromatic in a vintage sort of way. However, I was always rather ambivalent about wearing it - either I would pass over it while looking for my day's fragrance, or I would wear it, but constantly smell that soapy, sweet smell that somehow made me feel queasy or uneasy.

This is such a wonderful refinement - the more sparse nature and higher quality components shine in a wonderfully subtle way. The vanilla is just perfect and marries beautifully and seamlessly with the labdanum, myrrh and patchouli - it feels like a solid composition. And, despite it being an EDP in strength, after the initial application it becomes a rich skin scent - never pushy - very smooth and persistent.

Bravo to Prada for releasing this! Amber PH Intense really fills a gap in my scent collection for these cool fall days and will certainly warm me in the coming winter.

One word describes this cologne, "amazing". I enjoyed the original but this is much better. This is muskier than the original. I tend to favor muskier, stronge colognes though. This smells like the original mixed with A Men and then add a little musk. Great job Prade and thank you!!

I like the original PAPH..I adore the Intense even more! I find the Intense with less soapiness compared with the original and I don't find it feminine on my skin or for my nose. The opening of Intense comes like a storm and then the dry-down settles into some smooth slightly powdery amber that gives me a calming vibe. I do get some kind of vintage scent which is why the Intense may suit more for the mature guys. Overall PAPHI is a beautiful, alluring scent that when you put on this fragrance, it is like "dancing" in-and-out..seducing you!

This fragrance almost explodes out of the cap when you first spray it. You are initially greeted with a very green type of smell with the patchouli and bergamot flirting with one another like two hormonal teenagers. This doesn't last long however, as the green, zesty smell is gone almost as quickly as it had arrived. Left in its place is a gorgeous blend of amber and myrrh with just the subtlest hint of vanilla to keep things a little soft and sweet. It smells like someone found a log that had been on fire hours ago and lit a stick of incense with whatever embers had still been kindling at the bottom.

Something about this fragrance gives me a flashback to a vintage smell from many years ago. It has the depth of a vintage scent combined with the playfulness of a modern one. This parfum was made with top quality ingredients since none of it smells synthetic to me in the least bit. The sillage is quite powerful, as this scent lasts well over 8 hours for me. My girlfriend says this smells like "old man" to her, and I can understand her statement since this fragrance is far from the boring fresh citrus aquatics every body else is wearing. But to me this is what a mature, sharp dressed man should be wearing.

I'm sitting here chuckling at the reviews calling this "old man" as a) I'm a woman and b) under 30. Dunno what it is about my skin chemistry that lets me pull off masculines in an androgynous, Annie Lennox style, but I'm thankful for it as it means me and the hubby can share scents!

Prada Intense Pour Homme on my skin is primarily patchouli, amber, and myrrh with enough vanilla to keep it from going are-you-wearing-your-husband's-shirt manly. I'm not too much of a fun of the bergamot lurking just beneath the surface, since as always it's creating an ashy tone keeping me from 100% loving this blend. Boo. On my husband the bergamot is way too sour and obnoxious, earning the thumbs' down from him as well.

It has certain age limit on it and it is suited for a mature guy over 40.I imagine "Martin Scorsese" would wear It. Very classic and old style, It goes extremely well with coat or black suit. I like it but its not for me ,my girlfriend said: "you smell like an old man". I am 32. IMO the original is better.

A real intense version of Amber Pour Homme. Oriental, dark, patchouli takes care of the fragrance with myrth that makes this dark and a kind of a mild sweet smoky scent, unique at this moment. After hours, the drydown with amber and a touch of vanilla, remember me temples and mosques, far away Gucci Envy. My next purchase for sure, a real oriental frag from Prada!

Just unlike Prada Amber Homme, this one is just a masterpiece.
This is warm and fluffy with an exact hint of vintage perfume. It seems to has not any taste, just warmth makes it a little sweet and maybe the most modern Aromatic Fougere ever. By the way, that rubbish soapy pattern in Amber homme doesn't perform here and makes it a king! The bottle with that color is so attractive.
Scent is not sexy too much but extremely chic and formal. There's not reason to waste the liquid on tshirts, doesn't support that casual style.

Sampled this in Nordstrom...initially I was like.."okay...its okay, nothing spectacular". Later that evening I was sitting in a talent show and leaned my head against my fist and got a whiff of Prada Intense and kept going back to my wrist, like wow this is an intense, alluring fragrance that keeps you coming back for more...love it and can't wait to wear it...you know...at night...black car, black suit, or all black...it's seductive and yes...mysterious...love it...

Stunning, beautiful, amazing, etc... Sometimes I don't smell it in the drydown and then I move a certain way and there it is again...dancing on my skin like a graceful ballerina. This is one of the most hauntingly seductive scents in my wardrobe. Sheer perfection!

The core of Prada L'eau Ambree, with an intensified spiced outer layer. There's also an Earthy aura, those with acquired tastes can appreciate. With added strength, PAPHI (Prada Amber Pour Homme Intense) is just as sweet as it is spicy. Progressing into a smooth powdery, almost chalky dry-down, and the bergamot has completely sunken into the notes beyond detection. Who cares about bergamot? It's an oriental fougere!

Many noses follow a mysterious chocolate note when I wear this. I think it may be the effect Myrrh has on my skin

Prada Amber Pour Homme Intense comes like a storm, but ironically the dry-down is calm and tranquil. It took some time to truly love this, as it is reminiscent of John Varvatos 10th Anniversary, but I now see it in it's own light. Makes me wonder what Burberry Brit for men would be like as an Eau de Parfum. Keep the EDP for men trend going. We too, appreciate longevity and greater quality.

This is a ridiculous scent! (And I mean that in a good way.) After burning my nose out at the counter at Nordstrom's trying to find a new fragrance, the sales lady told me I should try this one. Amazing... She made a sample vile for me to take and before I left I sprayed a little on each wrist and behind one ear.

Starts off a bit bright and fresh and dries to a warm, inviting, confident and sexy scent. And it lasts and lasts. I applied this in the morning and it lasted all night...and I went clubbing until 3am and danced my ass off. The next morning I could still smell this on my wrist. A little goes a long way and I love a fragrance that lasts. Yes, this is an EdP...

I still have the little sample and have used it a second and a third time. LOVE IT! yes, I am going to buy a bottle today before it is gone.

It is much more complex than its big brother Amber.
The original Amber is a headache inducing soap.
This one, the Amber intense, has more notes and is not as harsh.
But Intense? No. Longevity and sillage are weaker than with the original Amber.
Nice fragrance, I could buy it.

5 Compliments in one day after buying this. I don't usually buy a full size in the Dept Store because I hold on until I get a bargain online. I tested this in the Dept Store and returned 4 hours later because the scent was just dancing around me. I kept having wafts of this stunning scent throughout the day and I folded and bought a 100ml EDP. Seriously sexy, dark and very masculine.I get a slight vanilla musk twist in the dry down. The description and notes listed are true. All the girls I know said omg, you smell georgeous and described the fragrance as so sexy. So get a bottle you won't be dissapointed for sure.

First blast is all about a patchouli madness with a really weak musky note. Then it becomes very incensey sweet powdery woody. The drydown is nice, but I'm not a fan of the beginning. Plus, I don't see a relation to the original Amber pour Homme at all. I don't get any soapy or amber quality in this intense version. It's just very different.

By reading what I am saying here, it sounds like I just described Narciso Rodriquez for Him but I find Narciso works much better on me with its alluring musk and patchouli without the silly amber vanilla in this Prada Homme Intense. It's funny how similar ingredients in these two but work out so differently.

LOVE IT.I used to be prejudiced against PRADA scents because of the soapy top note in them but this one made me a believer.Since I quit smoking I smell things differently.the vanilla and patchouli are creamy and the soapy top note is turned down in this.
longevity is good. THANK YOU PRADA.
the bottle is nice too the black glass will protect the juice from being damaged by light.
Will get a sample of the original to compare them.
UPDATE:I was told this is a limited edition so I bought a second bottle.

I tried this today and it is extremely confusing. First spray and i thought i was in scent heaven. It had a bit of the original mixed with a little truffle effect....great i thought, this one is a winner. Ten minutes later and it smells really retro and talcum powdery and when i say retro i am talking tabac or old spice. Broken-hearted i didnt go back to it for a few hours but when i did i was delighted by the vanilla tinged almost amenesque dry down.
