It's OK. I personally prefer the original Prada Amber pour Homme.

I like it. It's a bit more formal in feel than the original and not as loud and in your face - both are very good, though.

As for "the ladies" not liking it... don't let that comment bother you. After all, do you like all ladies?





I didn't think so.

I have had several women compliment tihs fragrance. It defintely is not as loud as the original, however i feel it has more refined/formal feel to it and sits a bit closer to the skin...i believe it was intended to do this. I get great longevity with it as well. For the price, i think its a good pick up.

If you like CK Obsession or if you like the note Myrrh, you will like it!

I am not a fan of this - and I really wanted to like it.. if you want a good amber -- you can go high end and try Tom Ford Private Blends Amber Absolute.. or go really reasonably priced and get the Kiehls Amber roll-on.. insane longevity at a low price.

I didn't like the rubbery quality at first, and while the drydown was okay, it wasn't complex enough to keep me interested.

It is my favorite masculine Prada frag. Wonderfully understated. I hate the original and I am pleased as punch that this is nothing like it.

I've tried Amber Absolute and I loved it -- and compared to both Prada Amber's (Intense \\ Regular) I get *absolutely* no amber from them at all. To say Amber Absolute is a bit strong though is an understatement...that stuff is like rocket fuel hold on to your seat and buckle up amber.

I enjoy the original Prada Amber better than the intense.

Would not recommend blind buying this at all. I was thinking of blind buying it because I am a big fan of original one, thank god I tested out the intense version, and I didn't like it.

The original is better. Something just isn't clicking with the intense version.

I love both of these and also Infusion. It is quite different than the original and is a bit deeper than most frags you might get at a dept. store which might not mix with some noses/skin. If you can test it first that would be best, but I think you will like it. Great cool weather scent!

I own and love them both, but they are very different. I find the intense reminds me more of the feminine Prada (not that it's particularly feminine) and is actually softer than the original Prada Homme. The original Homme is louder and much more brash than the intense. They are both great, but totally different.

This one reminded me of Burberry Brit, which is a good scent. However, I prefer original Prada Amber to Prada Amber Intense.

I own both but much prefer the Intense. The original had to be reduced in price before I bought it. The Intense, I just had to have after sampling.
