Reviews of Prada Amber pour Homme (2006)
by Prada

the opening note is very refreshing, a subtle amber and yes, it's soapy, later it settles down to be very intense and sickly sweet... the longevity is great, but it's only the horrid drydown notes that lingers...

Soapy and sharp. Like a normal bar of soap with some rosemary or some other biting, tangy spice thrown into its mold. Not my style. Very sickening and I can't emphasize how "sharp" this feels to the nose. It dulls quickly though, vanishing into thin air like a ninja assassin with a hangover.

Prada is well known for playing cruel jokes on her customers. This is one of the worst. There is nothing "amber" about this. All of the notes this supposedly contains form one big, unidentifiable cacophony that most closely resembles a cheap aerosol hairspray. Sharp, pungent, and lasts entirely too long. At least it's not terribly expensive.

Ergh! I can't stand this one!

It smells like th type of sickly-sweet deoderant that teen-aged girls purchase from the toilettries aisle in the super-market!

Sweet, syrupy, "fake" smelling and just...aweful explains it...

No class, just sicklyness. This is the type of fragrance that teen-aged girls want tp buy as their first perfume, and the their mother says "no - you don't want to end up smelling like a hooker!"

Its bad enough that they made this a men's perfume!

stinks. It is sickly smelling and has a real artificial smell to it.

It is extremely overpowering and sickly. I friend of mine wears this and it just does not smell as if it belongs on a man. It reminds me of the smell of little old ladies in fur coats. There seems to be a lot of cardomum in this. I don't know why anyone would want to smell like this.

this one is way too girly. No real man can wear this. Please give your girl the prada for women and find yourself an other one.

Bit of a dissapointment, as Prada clothes for men are classy understated & masculine. This fragrace is very feminie though, to my taste. I'll probably give this away to my sister. May suit a metrosexual I suppose, but this is not my cup of tea.

oh my goodness me. what an absolute disgrace of a scent. and to think this came from a 'respectable' power house like prada. stick to the female market guys.

don't waste your money on this. it is an afront to all basenoters!

Took a spray on my hand just the other day. Smells okay out the bottle but how one can compare this to Armani code is to me strange. This is a scent wich I say leans towards an old ladys perfume.

smells too feminine ,i dont like it.
i dont like designer's fragrance anyway.

well this has been so disappointing....such a boaring, feminine and uninteresting perfume!I tried and tried but-no, definitely no-it is a no go!I was expecting a great sexy, special and modern scent-i am still waiting for a perfume launched in this decade i could fall in love with but even prada has broken my heart-well prada has been very progressive and innovative in fashion-always at the edge and risky-but the perfume is nothing special-yes , you can use it to clean whatever or maybe as a room spray...so sad...it is even a woman´s scent-what did she then when she developped prada for her????!!!!Anyway, it is simple and a touch of nothing-you will forget it in some months-this perfume won´t last forever!!!Prada what?who? Oh miuccia what happened?you are such an interesting lady but the perfume is horrible!

I have smelt some fine fragrances. But this isnt one of them! The only kind thing I can say is nice atomiser. Utter tosh! Shame on you Prada!

Eyebrows raised, quizzical look on face, my trusted assistant stammered..."Sir, did you by any chance dare to mix your sample of Burberry Brit with some saffron oil?"

I was finally getting a chance to try this new release. I was quite excited to do so, based on the olfactory pyramid that I had taken notice of. I was very impressed at first application; my assistant should have smelled it then! Quite surprising was the extant of citrus I could appreciate, along with pleasing floral, musk, and myrrh notes. This goodness lasted all of about 20 minutes, and thus began the quick slide into middle-of-the-road, amorphous sweetness. I could not appreciate very much amber accord, nor much woods, nor any vetiver. Perhaps all these notes are there, and just seamlessly blended. At any rate, the drydown strikes me as moderately sweet and fruity, though I fail to see any fruits mentioned in the notes. It's not that sweet, but the combination with the fruity accord renders it similar to Burberry Brit, or D&G By Man (minus the spices), or many other sweetish, fruity scents. While many will like this a lot, I'm sorry to say that I do not.

I regret succumbing to the high pressure saleswoman at the cologne counter and buying this today. It reminds me of perfumes my aunts would wear (old ladies). There's a definite feminine vibe and I don't feel very manly wearing it at all.
