why they discontinued this i don't understand the extra spiciness is wonderful and the vanilla is just right..
Sex in a bottle!
Way better than Prada Amber..its sweeter and spicier.I love this scent..It's the closest to Jessica Simpson's Fancy Nights that i can find but considered more mature..but this has extra emphasis on the patchouli and vanilla..the scent is a vanilla nut bread baked scent with spice...totally gourmand but at the same time masculine..you really have to prefer to love this and try it first as you would have to try Prada Amber as well...not a perfume to just buy without trying..but well worth it its a unique scent..love it..i like intense better..Prada Amber has more vanilla but not as strong as the vanilla in Fancy Nights..it comes off half as strong in the beginning and then the dry down is where the vanilla shines in Prada Amber..this one is strong from beginning to end and its a perfect balance resembling the closest to Fancy Nights just a tad bit less sweeter on the vanilla..way better its a shame its discontinued!
Is deeper and warmer than original Prada; there isn't that sharp "banana" note the original Prada has for a bit. This reminds me of Bottega Venetta. I don't get anything very fruity here, it must be a really deep fruit note that doesn't register as "fruity."
"Intense!!" is indeed the first thing you think after the first whiff of this rich Prada in its classy bottle reaches your nose: WOW!
On me it's all sultry, sexy, creamy patchouli with a citric edge (NOT a hippy patchouli, but rather a smooth and *posh* type of patchouli) mimosa and vanilla in a balance struggle with the labdanum, and a rose note that peeps its head in now and again to say "Hi!".
It's a beauty for everyone that likes sexy, mysterious and balmy scents that smell rich and expensive. It's a stubborn, mysterious and heavy scent that makes it a must love perfume so it is not for everyone, a definite 'MUST sniff before buy' scent!
I can smell the comparisons to Strip by AP - but to me, Prada is deeper and more 'demanding' on the wearer. This one needs a woman (or man) that isn't afraid to be noticed, since it is a loud, intense and Diva like fragrance I would recommend this one for evening, date-nights and any special occasion that you want to make an 'Intense' statement.
::NB:: As mentioned: On the first bottle I had, the atomiser bulb did not leak, but on the second one it did. Badly! To preserve the gorgeous (and pricey!) potion I solved that by pouring it in a CLEAN! perfume decanted. Pity, since the bottle is very classy. I have complained about this (as I am sure many others have) and wonder if Prada will fix this issue before I run out of potion and start craving a new bottle.
Silage is: "I will knock your socks AND shoes off!" -- Longevity is: "I will keep you barefoot for a good 7+ hours".
I love PRADA INTENSE, the others prada smell too week for me ,this is perfect, many complimets to my smell, now is one of my favorites
Patchouli and I don't usually get along but here I find myself pretty happy with it. I guess the combination of the patch with the resins/balsam is what works for me, I only get the patchouli at the very end, when all the other notes have faded away, which is several hours down the line. Its really very nice up until that point, and lasts very very well. I'm glad I have it but I do prefer original Prada and Prada Tendre. I only have a 7ml mini and when its used up I won't buy a big one. I do find it interesting that so many reviewers pick up different notes from this.
I shall get back with a review when I have finished olfactorily digesting it. As for now, challenging in the best way; pay heed to adele I, Mehach, Tigerlilian, and Woodfaery - they do a good job collectively describing it. I bought for le fiancée. Now I only use it, and with many compliments - but more importantly - *I* love it.
Great fragrance but on my skin - or in my perception - there seems to be only patchouli, with a little bit orange. And that's it for a long, long time. The only occasion I could have worn it was a gothic party. I sold it.
I do like this but for me it went straight to the tonka bean, patchouli and vanilla base notes. I get just a hint of Musk. Since I favor these base notes, of course, I will have to say "Yummy". I like it better than the original Prada.
Prada Intense opens with some pretty aggressive musk and patchouli, with soft citrus in the background.
The patchouli and sandalwood in this fragrance are very dry and earthy with a definite masculine feel-- almost bristly, like gritty, unsanded wood. However, in combination with the strong musk and florals that start to surface in the heart, Intense introduces you to an assertive, sexually confident woman.
The richness of peru balsam, tonka, labdanum and vanilla makes this fragrance deep and sensual, persuasively lubricating the raw grain of the wood. Every layer delivers tons of texture and a very tangible quality.
Intense has a little more musk than I like, but the dryness and texture create some excitement for me. I find this would be a suitable fragrance for a woman of clear conviction. And yes, like belletresor reports, a most effective man magnet.
This is way too masculine for me to wear. I waited it to calm down but there is nothing pleasant for me to wear this perfume. Ladies who like to wear unisex scents may like it. I am planning to pass it to my brother.
I wish my bottle looked like the one above; instead it's a clear bottle with the yellow/green juice showing.
It should look like the bottle above; I think it represents the fragrance better;
it's sophisticated, elegant.. a statement.
Before trying, I was thinking how a woman on earth can wear Prada Intense as I find Prada EDP very hard to pull off. I like it but if you are not into spicy / herbal / woody types, it is really difficult feel comfortable in Prada EDP. Anyway I gave a try to Prada Intense and I was pleasantly surprised. You can definitely feel that patchouli and vanilla is amplified in this (but not too much) and it feels to me that some spicy and resinious edges of Prada EDP have been softened. I always thought that Prada EDP is incomplete and something is missing and when I wear Prada Intense, I said, "yes, it's done now"
It is stronger on the patchouli side, warmer, sweeter than original, but still close to skin and wraps you well... This should be a part of my wardrobe when I want to wear something different from mass market productions.
Well I really enjoy Prada and L'eau d'ambree is a little too weak for me so Prada intense is quite perfect; very strong, the patch makes it rich rather than dirty. It is a classy scent but not a safe one- i agree better for evening wear, but very similar to the original. Very deep without being too resinous, too floral, too vanilla, or too sweet. It is really difficult to describe as it's not generic. But if you enjoy the original and have no issues with strong scents you'll probably love it!
Prada Intense....just as the name implies, this is an INTENSE scent. Super seductive, definitely for nighttime wear, not the office (for me, anyway).
I have loved PRADA INTENSE for a couple years now....as I have mentioned in my profile, I am a sucker for patchouli.... especially combined with vanilla and balsam, which, when executed properly, gives a wonderful smokiness to the sweetness of jasmine and vanilla.
All I can say about this fragrance is to me it is pure SEX. I literally feel turned on when I smell it!! It is quite strong, so a little is all you need. Is long-wearing and has great sillage. For obvious reasons, I only wear this for evenings, and *special* ones at that.
Men ALWAYS love this -they stick their nose in my neck and ask what I'm wearing, LOL....and interestingly enough, only strong, secure, sexy women ever notice or comment positively.
Wonderful, unique and very raw, mysterious, heady and intoxicating. Because it has such a strong personality, it will most certainly turn many people off...it will be a "love it" or "hate it" fragrance and will also most likely depend largely on your body chemistry to develop properly. I STRONGLY suggest you find a sample first before taking the (expensive) plunge.
Also: the INTENSE version of Prada unfortunately only comes with a stupid atomizer bulb that doesn't work properly and LEAKS like crazy!!! Several other reviewers have mentioned this. Do yourself a favor and waste less by throwing the atomizer away and just dabbing the fragrance on pulse points.
