In contrast, the bottom notes of benzoin, olibanum, and powdery notes give the cologne a woody and powdery touch. It has moderate longevity with just over 5 hours on the skin and the whole day on your clothes.
We love this cologne for daily wear, spring and summer. Great for office buildings, meetings, interviews, even hospitals, plus more casual brunches and lunches, a day in the park, or a coffee get together with friends. A trail of clean, pleasant, luxurious soapy smell will keep you company the entire day.
The winning combination is made of delicious vanilla and caramel mixed with musky and powdery notes. Prada Candy is perfect for the classy women who want some sweetness and warmth in their lives. Prada Candy has a delicious top note of caramel. Powdery notes and musk make the perfume true to Prada while vanilla and benzoin form the base notes.
It also has moderate longevity, meaning it can last most of the day with no issue. We highly recommend Prada Candy for the sophisticated woman who enjoys sweet and powdery vanilla perfumes.
Suitable for all seasons, but ideal for chilly fall and winter nights. Prada Amber offers a soft, smooth, and spicy scent, ideal for the woman with an acquired taste who wants to feel glamorous without much effort. The sweet and flowery Prada Amber opens with green and fruity notes, bergamot, and tarragon. Middle notes of a floral bouquet with a spoonful of honey give little sweetness before the scent turns into a warm woody, earthy cologne with more prominent patchouli.
This is a strong fragrance in terms of sillage and longevity. The heavy smell of amber and patchouli is great for some time, but the scent is long-lasting, and some may find it bothersome. Prada Amber is ideal for wintertime. The warm and spicy notes will warm you up on a cold, snowy day like a cup of hot chocolate. Wear it on special occasions or anytime you want to feel elegant and sensual. First, find a scent in your preferred fragrance family.

It is an amber scent built around four time-honoured essences, each meant to reflect one of four dimensions: sandalwood oil from India is pure; patchouli leaves from indonesia are addictive; labdanum resin from France is precious: benzoin from Siam is profound.
Prada Eau de Parfum is all about amber; other notes come and go, but the amber is prominent from the first spray. Citrus decorates the top notes, a whisper of florals the middle, and a dry, earthy patchouli with vanilla accents the base, but the amber is the star here.
It is, as advertised, a modern sort of amber; it is warm but not rich or heavy, and smells nothing like its hard-hitting oriental forebears. I call it modern, but others do not: a quick perusal of the reviews at MakeupAlley reveals a surprising number of "old lady fragrance" complaints about Prada Eau de Parfum, and it is true that Prada did not bow to the current convention which says that if you want to attract the massive youth market, you have to include lots of sugared fruit.
Comparisons also abound, mostly to Thierry Mugler Angel and Chanel Coco Mademoiselle, but Prada is a considerably more restrained fragrance than either. Whether that is a good or bad thing, of course, depends on your preferences.
As I don't adore amber, it strikes me as a good thing. Amber lovers, do comment! Prada Eau de Parfum Intense followed in The notes given are identical, but Prada Intense is not merely a more concentrated version of the original scent.
The patchouli is considerably more in evidence, giving the Intense an earthier edge, and it is marginally sweeter and warmer. It also smells fruitier to me — there is something almost plummy about the mid notes — and it is longer lasting, although it still isn't quite a powerhouse in terms of longevity. The relationship to Angel is more marked in the Intense, but to my nose they are still distant cousins at best. The Intense retains a feeling of restraint, and while it is sweeter and fruitier than the original, it is still a relatively dry fragrance.
Surprisingly, given that I don't like patchouli much more than I like amber, I prefer the Intense. It seems sultrier and sexier, and simply makes more of a statement. Neither of the Prada fragrances smell strikingly unconventional or original, but then, neither do they smell as so many of their designer fragrance compatriots do blatantly commercial.
The packaging is a perfect match: it is elegant but not showy, and has a "targeted to grown-ups" aesthetic that is a welcome change. Ditto on the advertising.

I find it has this rye bread note, I think Victoria was the one who initially commented on it in her review. Nevertheless, I don't find either of them bottle worthy as they sort of just sit on my skin and get annoying too soon.
