Prada Amber Pour Homme (Prada Man) by Prada

For: men Designer: Prada Olfactive Group: Oriental Fougere

Prada Amber Pour Homme is the first Prada fragrance, launched after the female one, also in oriental composition based upon amber. The perfumer Daniela Roche-Andrier created the composition in four basic accords : Amber – the main accord, rich and complex oriental base which includes amber, vanilla, labdanum, Tonka and patchouli; Fougere – or the aromatic accord with a remarkable soapy note, includes notes of pelargonium, vetiver, orange blossom and myrrh at the heart; Cologne – the refreshing citrusy top of bergamot, mandarin, neroli and cardamom; Leather – leather note is present at the base of the composition ( leather, saffron and sandalwood). Miuccia Prada, the granddaughter of the founder, who turned grandfather’s leather goods design into a large company, personally took part in creating of this perfume. “"I just tried to imagine what I would like if I were a man.” Maybe due to the fact that it was created by a female hand, the fragrance is not aggressive at all, like it might have been expected from an oriental fragrance with leather and amber. Instead, it is very elegant and masculine gentle.

classy...sexy...money...sexy....mature...grown...sexy....this will get you laid/ravished/jumped!!!! Some females have stopped me, I tried to keep walking, and got cursed out for walking away, walked back and they said, trying to rip my expensive ass shirt, "WHAT ARE YOU WEARING", I replied, "Prada,.... but the one in the clear glass bottle, with the silver top, and the purple liquid". She said "Thank you I have to buy some for my boyfriend", I dropped my head in disappointment, but it was all good though!!!! LOL

My fiance normally wears woody fragrances with leather and tobacco, but this smells AMAZING on him. The fragrance really takes some time to open up, though. At first it smelled a little soapy-clean in the way that Acca Kappa's White Moss smells soapy-clean.

As the fragrance warmed up on his skin it became more intense. I can now smell its ethereal presence in the room! I even think it would be worth a try for me to test it on my own (female) skin chemistry. I just love it! It's not like most men's scents.

I'm sorry to say that what I can smell is only quick drydown to an incense.

Unfortunately, it is extremely cloying and femininely sweet on my skin.

Cheers,

Great fragrance. It a subtle fragrance slightly soapy and sweet and clean. Low sillage but I get 10+ hours on my skin. It doesn't scream to be worn, but when you do you wonder why I don't wear this more!! 10/10

High quality scent, that shows itself very refined since it is applied.

It is softly floral with a smooth powdery aroma in its base, which reminds me baby cologne.

It possesses a delicious scent that keeps exhaling for a long time. It is not aggressive, even though it has presence! Maybe that’s the differential of this scent.

In my opinion it is fantastic for daily use, and it fits very well with the Brazilian hot weather.

Prada Amber pour Homme is a very manly, very clean & very professional scent for man. It's a very sophisticated scent, yet not too strong that men at their 20's won't shy away from it. It echos chic man on those special occasion.

This smells just like Dial handsoap or something. I like the smell of soap, but not something like Dial. I do not like this at all.

I'm a really big fan of Prada perfumes...I really like how unfussy they are; someone gave me a sample of this a couple years ago, and I completely fell in love. It starts out really clean, like expensive barber's soap, with a hint of citrus, really fresh, really basic; then it dries down to a nice husky scent that has hints of sandalwood and patchouli. The closest thing I can think of that is similar in smell might be Nag Champi incense, only lighter. It's a very interesting scent, and I can't remember ever having smelled anything like it...needless to say, once my sample was done, I ran out and bought myself a bottle.

Ouch!
I don't know where to start with this scent apart from maybe....*bows down at the feet of the nose behind this scent* THAT!
The first time I smelled this scent it was one of those times you have to keep smelling and keep smelling. It's absolutley beautiful and the amount of compliments it draws is astounding.
How to describe it? It's...a feathery soft scent to my nose but with a masculine twist. It smells powdery..it smells like a warm, fluffy but masculine blanket. I would pair this to a man who is gentle, and stunning to look at. The kind of guy that would stop you in your tracks as he went past..
I mean, I own this scent but hey who cares lol.
My other half uses this all the time when I'm not around, it's nearly finished and I need more.
It's in my top 5 male scents in the world to date and I could bathe in it.
It lasts a hell of a long time with my chemistry, it's a good quality perfume. A total winner! annnnnd it's purple!!

I first bought this for my 19 year old son. I love it, his girlfriend loves it, and it took the place of all of his other scents. He loves it, and it matches his lifestyle- professional musician, etc. I then tried it on someone I work with quite closely, who is 64- it smelled great on him as well. This is a mysterious, classy, romantic, yet urban smell. Contingent on your setting, it could go from casual to dressy-

Luxury in a bottle. Sometimes too much for me. My bottle is on stand by mode in my wardrobe. Even though it is a nice scent, it does not really match my skin type or my olfactive taste. A pity, because the bottle cost me a small fortune. Still looking for someone to swap it for something more useful

I'm torn on this one. I like it, but at the same time I don't. It's very floral and musky on my skin. Sillage is good. I don't know - I really see this one as more of an elegant fragrance. Not a daily-wearer for me.

Hi, all.

Listen, folks - I have this issue. I'm building a data base, and I'm stuck at Prada.

Initially, on this men's perfume it says nothing but "Prada" - though, inside the box, on the perfume bottle it says "Amber Pour Homme". Right?

So... what is it?

Prada Men? Amber Pour Homme?

I'm asking, since there's this new line of perfumes by Prada - which on the perfume bottle it says "Amber Pour Homme", AND ALSO on the outside, on the box.

Thanks.

it would be a nice scent if they did NOT just overload it with amber and sweeten it up so much this smells like a ladies perfume and the florals and woods just make it strange and i have NEVER found a guy wearing this

its way too sweet and POTENT and its a sillage monster...... stay away from it

I'm normally a slightly prudish, standoffish kind of woman but my ex wore this and I was totally under his thrall when he did.. I've even been sad enough to buy a bottle for myself to spray on the pillows at night!

I love this fragrence it has a rich sentual opening with very slight notes of barbers soap and lavander and gently dies down throught the course of the day by the very end of the day the fragrance declares its self over with a delecate yet luxurious note of vanilla, ver long lasting, prada clearly didnt make this to sell by the millions as it is very unique but i like the fact that i dont smell like every other guy when i wear this it is so unique and i love it, i also love the bottle design very simple but looks elegant. i woulndt say this is an old man smell either as i am in my teens and i love it. all in all a very classy and luxurios fragrance that stays with me all day long ever evolving into another great stage of the scent.

Uniquely elaborated scent of musk, cardamom and neroli.

Nice scent but to soapy, smells like I have just had a shower. That said it is wearable in small doses.

very strong fragrance, but also light if that makes any sense. it smells like spraying on really good soap. i really like prada, but its only suited for very nice occasions in my opinion. not for a average day or date.

I think Prada Amber is one of the best male perfumes.. I love them on my boyfriend..
They are very classy with sensual sweetness... just love them!
And so what if they are soapy??
Soap was the 1st man's perfume...
Great soap can be really magical...
Although I do not find those perfume as soapy, rather as very classy scent.

I'm a little surprised at the astonishment about Prada Amber being soapy. That was Daniela Roche-Andrier's stated intent. All the critics that reviewed Amber upon its release said it was designed that way. So why should people be surprised when a fragrance designed to project soapiness, does what it promises?

Ahhhh but this isn't your supermarket shelf soap. This a beautiful, soft, and sensuous fragrance that one would expect to find in soaps from the finest salons of Barcelona or Madrid. I never get the citrus in the opening but I do get an Iris note, then a soft amber followed by a light suede.

Prada Amber is not going to announce itself in a crowd. It is not a sillage monster and it is not heavy. It is meant for intimacy and closeness. I thoroughly enjoy wearing it and have received numerous compliments from ladies who got close enough to enjoy its clean and lightly sweet elegance.

I've seen it described as feminine. How does one define a scent that belongs exclusively to women? I'm a big, strong guy who is far from effeminate. All I know is that I love the fragrance. Besides, if Prada projects a sensual sweetness that the ladies find desirable, guess what, I'm going to wear it not hang with the spice rack crowd and brag about about how manly we all smell. I was so impressed when I tried Prada Amber that I bought two bottles. For a guy that has as many colognes as I do, that is a strong endorsement.

Soap? Yes, but the most luxurious and enjoyable soap imaginable.

This scent is a tease. It doesn't command attention, it's too subtle to do that. Instead it begs for attention. It captivates your interest with it's promising notes, drawing you in closer to get better acquainted, but never giving up all it's secrets completely all at once. Addictive. It has an inviting sexiness to it.
[/Gush Mode]

A fleeting fruity opening is followed by a sweet Tonka-Vanilla heart with very light Patchouli. The base gives it lightly powdery touches of Vetiver, Sandal, and Saffron. It's lightly sweet but not too sweet, every note is well restrained.

Very classy.

A good one, but feels like a second option for all occasions tome. Very soft with small projection and poor longevity in my opinion.

A true perfume for an important business meeting or an interview, nothing like a fresh, clean, soapy, smooth and appealing perfume. its more of a Winter day. The last thing to wear before leaving that puts an end to any susspession and begins your day with.
