    I still think this is one of the best fragrances out there. Too bad that it’s been discontinued. With a lot of scents launching that having that powdery deep trail these days, this was before it’s time. I’m glad they’re so far still producing the original Amber, but for how long I wonder.

    October 2018 – Got my full size at launch. Dug out an old bottle from my samples. Still great after all these years. Perfect as fall starts to settle in. Sleeves are longer, I’m wearing a fall scarf, scented with this. Daytime, just enough to smell “dressed” as I shop and sip hot tea. It’s not overpowering, strong, but it has presence. Classy. Cozy. Soft. Leaves a soft perfume trail as I pass by. Perfect fall scent.
    NOTE: COMBO TIP: Layered with a dusky rose fragrance (Lalique) Oooo!!!!!! Adds a bit more sophistication and longevity to the fragrance experience.
    PS A scent I wear to please ME, with whiffs of it throughout the day. If others enjoy it, that’s a bonus.

    This is one of those scents that I can’t decide whether or not I like it or I dislike it. When I first sniff it there’s something a bit unsettling to it that makes me a bit queasy. But then against my better judgement I make myself take a quick second inhale. And it’s there that my nose picks up on the complexities of this composition. I get a powderiness underlying that gooey amber. It smells a bit like Dolce & Gabbana The One for Men to me. There’s a woody almost pencil shaving quality to it. I feel like if this scent was more vanilla dominant I might really like it, but as the title says, this is a real amber bomb.
    The resins in it give it some powderiness that I find reminds me very much of Coty Emeraude. The composition also looks quite similar now that I think about it. That one is much easier to find so I’d say if you like this one, look for vintage bottles of that one. I like that powder but those pencil shavings and the amber, which often times goes syrupy on me and I don’t like that make this a tricky one. The more I sniff it the more I’m able to pick up a acidic citrus note underneath. It smells almost like lemon pledge though if I’m honest.
    I don’t know, I’m very perplexed by this one. It’s the first one that I’ve sort of been let down in my expectations yet I’m more intrigued by what I’m actually getting. I probably won’t pursue any more once my mini decant is done, but I’m glad I got to try this one out.
    I’d say for lovers of Ambre Sultan, Shalimar EDP or Coty Emeraude, check this one out if you can find it.

    I think this is a beauty. I get some saltyness and mild amber, but staying power could be better, so I ”layer” it by applying a light spray of EL’s Youth Dew under my hair in my neck. Love the combo!

    Citruses mixed with very well executed delicate amber. Soft, tender, unisex.
    I would probably prefer Jesus del Pozo – Ambar to this one. They both have a very similar character IMHO, but I’m definitely not saying this doesn’t smell good.

    I’m glad Sindri got the Shalimar connection. Today I’m wearing Shalimar edc under my shirt, and I keep getting whiffs that remind me of L’Eau Ambrée. 🙂 Earlier this morning I smelled something so good. I thought it was someone else’s perfume. I didn’t recognize my own scent. I was considering how I was going to ask a teenage girl in my class what fragrance she had on. I was thinking it was a rather sophisticated choice for a teen girl. Lol! It was my own fragrance, unrecognizable to me! Anyway, I’m sure L’Eau Ambrée smells just as good worn under your clothes. They have amber, opoponax and vanilla in common.
    Adding: Today I am actually wearing L’Eau Ambrée, and yes It’s great to wear under your clothes, getting little whiffs throughout the day. I received this bottle as a gift around ten years ago, and half the bottle is left. I like this fragrance but it isn’t terribly exciting to wear, merely pleasant. I need to use this up. Maybe I will over the next ten years, lol. I think it actually smells better as a lingering scent on clothes than it does on skin.

    so lovely and tender
    i smell a bit shalimar in this
    i think that maybe comes from the work of the lemon and the apoponax
    but lighter and more easy-going than shalimar
    longivity is not that good
    4 hours top on my skin
    amber is light and barely noticable
    but all these doesn’t make it a bad scent
    lovely and good
    i like it

    Floatingophelia, are you reviewing L’Ambree or Prada Amber?? I have been wearing L’Ambree for years and I find its the opposite of what you described! Descreet, more of a skin scent, elegant in an understated way and wearable at any occasion. It is even my go to fragrance when I have a headache, like today!

    Smells like an old 80’s scent strait out of the bottle

    Lovely scent which keeps close to the skin so really for your own personal pleasure.
    As long as you are not expecting to feel the room with your fragrance you will enjoy owning this.

    Subtle dusty and husky surprisingly gothic incense with light translucent and bright overtones. Hidden amber. Charming.

    I love perfumes with balsamic and vanilla main accords that carry a good amount of sweetness, and if they have depth and facets, I love them even more. Prada L’Eau Ambree falls into this category. I am usually not much of a patchouli woman, but here it is blended in so beautifully, that it enriches the facet aspect of this fragrance in a very interesting and delightful way. Sometimes sweet fragrances can be boring, just because they are nice and sweet, but don’t add much else to the stimuli. Not so with L’Eau Ambree. This is a scent that keeps me entertained long after the initial spray, when so many other sweet fragrances lose their draw for me. It is deep enough for the evening and light enough for the daytime. I will be wearing this lady quite a lot for sure.
    Tonight the citrus comes through more than usual and kind of pushes the balsamic aspect more into the background, just utterly beautiful.

    When I read the reviews about this perfume, I couldn’t wait to try it. Usually I think Prada fragrances as being very loud and headache inducing. I picked up two bottles up for a song, but when I tested it, I could barely smell the perfume. I was disappointed and thought maybe I had gotten bad bottles. I was about to toss them when I tried them again – this time on my skin, rather than on paper, and I fell in love. I think there is a serious difference between testing on paper and testing on your skin. You may hate it one way and love it the other. This perfume is now one of my top 5 fragrances and I am stocking up as I read it is out of production. Very sad. They always seem to get rid of the best scents. 🙁

    I tried this and wanted to like it. It has a lot of elements that I usually like–citrus and amber. But I could not get past how powdery or soapy this smelled. To me, it was unwearable.

  16. :

    3 out of 5

    This is such a warm, cozy and classic scent
    It reminds me so much of a perfume I’ve tried before but for the life of me i can’t remember which one.
    Opium or coco maybe? They have similar notes
    The sillage is weak which i expected but i got a large splash bottle at a low price so I’m happy to overuse it.
    Rose plays a big part in this for me, i get no vanilla though
    Its something i see worn with a knitted sweater on a cold winters day.

    I still don’t know if i like it. I love Infussion d’Iris, but I cant’s see much similarity with this one. This is very warm” lemon and rose scent. I will give it a try in winter months.
    50 ml EDP

    This is a gorgeous, soft scent that someone has to be closer to notice. It’s a subtle blend of sweet warmth (amber and vanilla) without being too sweet, enough citrus to warm it up and make it feel bright, and some florals and patchouli to make it interesting. This isn’t a perfume that screams, rather it invites.
    The only disappointment I have is in the longevity and silage. I love it so much that I wish it was a bit stronger. Otherwise, the scent is gorgeous and classy.

    @jovejove, This beauty is definitely discontinued in the UK, except for the outlet House of Fraser Store in Leicester… They have it. I got my wife her last couple of bottles from there and they seem to get it in fairly regularly.

    I’m not sure why this smell very nostalgic. I’m getting a hint of my childhood. Weak sillage for something I think it’s so nostalgic. I can’t call this sexy or even old. Mature, perhaps? A sophisticated sweetness. Very deep and calculating. Incense and sand in such a beautiful way. It’s never suffocating. A bit animalic.

  21. :

    I love this fragrance. Too bad it’s discontinued. I still have a couple bottles of it left…for now.

    A perfect summer oriental.
    Perfect in the sense of being elegant, refined and soft.
    This has been on my testlist for a long long time and I must say (as a niche devotee) I am perfectly happy to have it in my collection.
    L’Eau Ambrée has that typical Prada high class touch and it is now my favourite of the house.

    Octavian said of Prada L’Eau Ambrée “It doesn’t smell [of] perfume, it smells like a human presence”.
    The only thing that I would add to his perfect description is that this perfume smells like a presence of self-confident italian women.
    The fragrance is very clean, slightly-smooth metallic but at the same time warm and elegant.

    I own this and like it but it gives me a headache. HOWEVER I discovered a similar scent that doesn’t cause me pain. L’occitan eau de toilette by L’occitan. This is a men’s cologne however I find it very unisex. This doesn’t cause me any pain and It’s also a lot cheaper and has great lasting power!!! Both are lovely scents but this one wins over Prada for me!

    I have been wearing this for three days now and have been really enjoying it. It opens with a very refreshing mandarin/lemon zing which quickly gives way to some cool elegant florals (my nose is obviously confused but I smell violets in there!) and ends on a warm amber base.The perfume is fairly weak smelling in my view, and projection is fairly poor.However it comes and goes throughout the day and lasts surprisingly long! This gives it rather an ethereal feeling which I am enjoying.Having worn it during a busy day at work I also found it very calming. This is suitable for wearing before bed! All in all, a love, although a bit more strength wouldn’t go amiss, I agree with a previous reviewer that 6-8 sprays of this are required.

    This is a shape shifter of a perfume! I like it alot in the drydown,,because it smells of Infusion D iris! i get incense and its lovely! Got it in a swap and im happy! At first, i didnt think i liked it,but now i feel it fits right in with my love of Prada/incense.
    Nice little bottle and will happily wear it when the mood strikes,which is alot with Prada! 😉

    When I first tried Prada L’Ambree, I dismissed it as being too weak. I would do a test spray, and after a promising start, it would fade out on my skin in about an hour. So yes, L’Ambree could do a little better in the lasting power/projection department. But I tested it again, really tested it, and I discovered that I was simply wearing it wrong. This is not a one or two spray perfume. You really need to wear it. I’m talking at least 6 or 8 sprays, and catch some on your clothing, for it to really do anything. I understand that some may not want a perfume that behaves like that, but it worked so well on me that I can now say that I love L’Ambree!
    On my skin this is full of incense, powder, a haze of smoke, and sandalwood as it dries. I understand that those notes are not listed in the pyramid, but maybe the whole opopanox amber accord that they use fosters those impressions? On my skin the citrus notes are only transient topnotes, and the rose actually plays as the only floral component, it’s there, it’s dark, but it is mostly background noise. The vanilla behaves the same way, it lends a little sweetness, and the patchouli really comes out in the base. L’Ambree has a textured, almost scratchy feel, like you can rub the resins in between your fingers, like the smoke is passing over your skin.
    When I wear this I feel like I am a burning stick of sandalwood incense, stuck into a smoldering pot of opopanox, sitting next to someone who is wearing pleasant rose and vanilla perfume. I am always on the hunt for perfumes that act like this and I’m so glad that I gave this Prada another chance.

    This is a perfume I had for about a week before giving it away a gift: to a guy! A male friend of mine who is a gender bender and wears fragrances for men and women, as well as unisex, or perfumes that are for women but smell like men’s colognes, or floral fragrances for men or any of the crazy pansexual unisex anyone can wear it type of fragrances you don’t know if it’s for men or women scents in this wonderful new world of fragrance. I find this fragrance to be FOR MEN. It quickly turned masculine on me and not in a good way. I have some women’s fragrances that wear like men’s colognes: Krizia Teatro Alla Scala and Opium, Fancy Nights. But this turns into a man’s cologne because it has the heavy citrus at the start. The lemon and orange feel like aftershave. The first blast is so citric and too much for me. Almost smelled like Paco Rabane’s One Million which is big on citrus. After the citrus scent dissipates, you get rose but it’s a dark masculine rose, a tobacco rose. The patchouli is taking away the sweetness and softness of rose. Finally the whole thing does become a softer women’s perfume because of the dry down It’s aided by a base of amber and vanilla. It’s sweet not gourmand, just sweet and soft. The opoponax here is masculine it’s woodsy and violet that smells more like lavender. So guys, this fragrance can easily become one of your colognes and you’ve probably smelled it before in your other colognes. It is very elegant, handsome, like a man in a tuxedo with jet black hair, slicked back with hair gel, a man going out to a night club but who is older, wiser, and the women are naturally drawn to him. Smells like this is a fragrance for the actor in the THE MOST INTERESTING MAN IN THE WORLD commercials. I did like it – on my guy friend. I believe I would like this on other guys. I couldn’t wear this because of the citrus. If there had been no citrus and it was bigger on woods and patchouli then it would be great. The patchouli here is not as big as the amber. This is totally an amber perfume but it has a decidedly masculine aura.

    This unique scent has been lauded and slammed. It’s “too strong”, “too weak”, “soapy”, “tender” or “boring”. It’s none of those things but it is a masterpiece.
    First, there’s no way there isn’t a touch of iris in here and second, Daniela Andrier is a genius. Her Prada scents are above and beyond, unique and utterly gorgeous. I haven’t tried the brand new releases but there are none I don’t love pre 2015. I own and wear Homme, d’Oranger, d’Iris, d’Iris Absolu, Amber, Tendre…you get the picture. (With the exception of Candy and its flankers, I like to pretend Candy didn’t happen lol.) haven’t picked up men’s Amber and Luna Rosa because they haven’t been a priority but I plan to.
    L’eau Ambree is all about opopanax and patchouli but with a tonne of quality citrus which takes it out of heavy territory and into fresh. But, also deep with the addition of amber and resins which makes it interesting. This is not a sharp citrus in any way but smooth. There’s a translucence to it. By looking at the notes, you might think it would be heavy but it’s not. It will fade from your skin in 6 hours but it’s still there. Under clothing, it wafts up and is lovely all day, for at least 10 hours. I wore it yesterday and my bra is still strongly scented with it, I’m getting constant wafts. That doesn’t spell “weak”. I also get a touch of salt! I’m not sure why but it’s there and could appeal to the new salt crazed ha.
    There is a noticeable difference between fresh and older bottles. It’s probably the volatile citrus changing a bit. Both ages are still lovely, just a bit different. The newer is a tad more fresh. This scent is one of the few I own backups for.

    It’s gentle amber, woodsy , pleasant , but quiet not screaming loud here I am lol, stays close to the skin, but after few minutes once it settles smells like weaker sister of Botega Venetta, nice but no silage or projection

    Beautiful sweet Amber scent, delicate and powdery, very feminine. Wonderful scent for all occasions, day or night. Very versatile scent, appropriate in all situations. Not too strong but you can still appreciate it without holding your wrist up to your nose.

    I have this but would MUCH rather have the Intense version! Let me know if you’d like to swap! Thanks.

    Follow-up review
    This is now my new signature. I don’t know how it happened, but it just replaced Chanel No. 19 Poudre.
    I had read on several blogs that this does a vanishing act at times during the day, then you catch a sudden whiff of it when moving. Well, it actually is true. I think it is long gone, but my husband can still smell it, and then , all of a sudden, I move my hand, or run it through my hair, or change clothes, and I get a beautiful smell wafting up from somewhere. I take a deep breath to smell again – nothing! Magic, I tell you.

  34. :

    L’ eau ambree, Cnady and Infusion d’ Iris are a perfect example of what Chandler Burr calls “brand unity”. Absolutely recognisable as sisters, they still have enough to make each of them different and set them apart. The Prada signature is, to me, a unique accord of elegance,soapy and powdery at the same time, the smell of a luxurious 5* hotel. Cold with a hint of warmth, and most definitely distinguished.
    L’ eau ambree is a beautiful subdued oriental. Where some orientals scream for attention, this one seems self-assured and whispers sensually. I can smell patchouli, a polite amber, some spice for warmth, a non-edible vanilla, and benzoin. The citrus is there as a naughty note, peeking through at times and refreshing thinds. The rose I cannot discern as such, but sometimes I can smell a vague florality.
    This was a blind buy and one of the few I haven’t regretted. Positively addictive and more-ish. Daniela Andrier is a star, and seems to have a full and deep understanding of the Prada perfume line. Brava, one more time.

    At first this smelt like Imperial Leather soap and then it turned into a similar smell of a cologne by dad used to wear in the 90’s. It did become more feminine though, but reminded me of a more expensive version of my nanna’s old perfume. I kind of imagined it’s the way an evil Disney queen would smell or an old, rich Italian woman at a funeral, anyway, it wasn’t for me.

  36. :

    delicato e minimale nelle note di fondo lievemente fumose, che spuntano elegantemente con un mix di ambra, patchouli e rosa leggera. al primo spruzzo è, invece, agrumato e intossicante, quasi fosse una colonia al mandarino. l’effetto complessivo è quello di uno skin scent sofisticato. molto buono.

  37. :

    5 out of 5

    Raspy and warm like a wool scarf on a winter night, with the smell of first snow in the air. Hints of candied orange chocolate, fresh human body, and blossoming trees on a humid spring breeze.
    I don’t get any patchouli, though I suspect it’s responsible for the chilly undercurrent; barely any rose; and the citrus is most prominent in the first few minutes, after which it hides underneath the amber to lift it and keep it airy and fresh.
    This is mostly just a cool, ever-so-slightly sweet amber dust that blends with your skin and breathes with you throughout the day.

    As promised, here is my update….
    Now I can smell this properly I am delighted to review it again.
    A soft creamy white rose with hint of vanilla and powder. The vanilla is almost non-existent but amps up the powdery balsam background. Reminds me of a really luxurious body lotion, used on special occasions for a special person. Taken out for seduction of a well known lover or simply to please the wearer.
    It does certainly smell expensive, but softly so, extolling the virtue of having money but not having to shout about it.
    This is moving back to the front of my shelf forthwith!!!

    yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssss awesome in a bottle , very sophisticated this is what i think claire underwood smells like … cold and sophiticated i like it

    This was a present. It doesn’t develop into anything on my skin, all I get from the opening to the drydown is the woody pencil shavings scent so reminiscent of my school days.

  41. :

    4 out of 5

    Must get this out again. It lasted so little time on my skin, it has become the “expensive mistake, I wish I had not bought this” perfume pushed to the back of the shelf. However with my recently renewed sense of smell (see aromatics elixir) I am going to be it out later and have another go. Promise to update too!!

    This is my absolute favourite perfume! My bf loves it too! At first spray I can smell the lemon then after I just want to eat my arm. It is so warm and feminine I just wish it would last longer,

    This perfume reminds me of Saharienne Yves Saint Laurent. Also reminds me the style of Voyage d’Hermes and Terre d’Hermes. Light, airy, slightly sweet,slightly citrus, slightly earthy and woody. I do not know why, but really my skin develops woody notes. At the same time is very close to Infusion d’Iris Prada and have a common touch with Prada Candy. Very interesting parfum- light and at the same time it is not. Far from rude and offensive presence. Quite simply, lasting and very fluffy fragrance. Gives you that feeling of luxury.

  44. :

    It smells like sexy shampoo. That’s a good thing, for me anyways. Prada L’Eau Ambree works perfect for any occasion. It is adaptable and flexible. I, too, bought this after reading all the comments. I am glad I took the risk. I can smell all the notes. They marry quite nicely together. This fragrance is perfect for work or when you will be in close contact with someone. You can easily wear this during any season or time of day, though you will likely need another application. I find L’Eau Ambree to be chic, subtle, and sexy. I feel quite gorgeous while wearing this, in an unassuming way. The bottle is also chic and beautiful. Lastly, the price makes my wallet smile, too!

    Thank you all for your reviews on this scent! I was browsing, following a train of scents as I read peoples recommendations, and came across the reviews of this perfume. As soon as I saw the notes, and read the comparisons, I went on Ebay where I was able to purchase a 2.7oz bottle for about $25.00. What a wonderful blind buy! I adore this scent…and last count I have over 50 fragrances to choose from. This is delicious winter, or night time summer scent, that surrounds me the smell of patchouli and sweet myrrh. The dry down is soft and yummy, makes me want to spay my pillows with this and let it take me to dreamworld. Thank you again.

  46. :

    5 out of 5

    I made a big mistake! I had this a few years ago and just gave it away when I was going through a blah period…now I wish I had it back. I love the smoky mysterious, almost old-book scent. Balsamic and tobacco and myrrh. I don’t have a lot of orientals but this is the type of oriental I like, a bit subdued rather smokey than spicy. But it did feel opulent and I wore it in cold weather with cashmere scarves and my faux fur coat. Im sorry I gave you away!

    Has the same amber note as Balmain Ambre Gris, and the same powdery softness as well. I can see how people make the comparison between the two, they have a lot in common. Personally, I like them both. They are not overly flowery, but subtle, delicate and whisper soft. Nothing in your face, but a lingering after thought. But Gris has the cinnamon and pink pepper notes, it packs a a stronger punch.
    L’eau is more flowery (rose) and the vanilla base makes it more feminine, but it’s also a little more commercial and safe. But still it’s really nice. It also reminds me slightly of Shalimar too. it’s also a little on the weak side in terms of sillage, you need to spray a bit heavy, it floats away pretty fast. Honestly you can’t go wrong with either one. Wear L’eau for the office and Gris when you hit the town and you’re good to go.

  48. :

    It’s nice, but not among the best of the amber perfumes.
    Also, it doesn’t have good longevity. At that price, I would expect it to last more than 3 or 4 hours on me.

    Nice, but longevity is very dissapointing. Feels luxourius, feminine, classy and soft.

    To me this smells a lot like Ambre Gris de Pierre Balmain

    Warm, cosy,elegant,stylish. For autumn and winter. Perfect choice for any situation.

    I test-drove this last night; my husband described it as “flat” and dismissed it. I disagree with his assessment, however.
    On me, this opens as warm, spicy, and fruity, with a pleasant “boozy” quality (somewhere between gin and whisk(e)y). Over time, it settles into a dry spiciness that wears close to the skin. There’s something in it that faintly reminds me of Prada Candy, but L’Eau Ambree, to me, isn’t anywhere near as “commercial”-smelling or accessible as Candy. This is a completely inoffensive fragrance that’d be perfect for cool/cold weather and the workplace. Very nice.

  53. :

    I don’t find this light at all. I find it pretty heavy actually. last night I applied a little too much and I found it a bit cloying in a strongly sweet way. this morning I applied just on my wrists and it is much better and enjoyable. I don’t care for that ambery sweetness near my face. I also find this very long lasting, I could still smell it this morning before I took my shower. I like it but don’t love it and I don’t find it easy to wear.

  54. :

    4 out of 5

    Soft and boring. Smells like drier sheets and some makeup products or hair conditioner….in essence boring!! With the list of notes i was expecting some kind of drama but meh. Like sumone mentioned. This makes a nice bedtime scent.

  55. :

    4 out of 5

    A gentle, restrained, elegant, inoffensive, unobtrusive floriental. Not overly sweet or vanillic on me. Warm cozy oriental feel without incense or spice. Only vaguely floral. Like smelling something in solid crystalline form, if I imagine a real hunk of fossilized amber as having a smell… But it’s leaning more of a white Color and polished to perfection, imparting a gleam or glow to the surface… Not a rich honey amber hue one would expect from the name.
    Too quiet and simple for me because I adore the opulence of the genre. I am in want of flowers, spices, incense, and everything nice. I want it all!
    That said, if you want subtlety this is a good choice for everyday wear to work or school, running errands for example. It’s like olfactive white space, nothing extreme or loud and just pleasant all around…

    This is a very sophisticated amber not too heavy quite sweet and a bit powdery.
    It opens with rose and patchuly then comes a very delicate amber suitable for the colder months and Springtime.
    It must have been discontinued cause I don’t see it on shelves anymore only available on line.

    On my skin, it starts with the mild citrus notes, and turns into a more woody-smoky scent in a few minutes. I smell the amber and the opoponax after about half an hour or 45 minutes.
    The scent is cozy and rather sexy; its soft and stays close to the skin. But longevity is absolutely terrible. 2-4 hours tops, then its just gone. Huge let down, and that makes me regret spending my money on it.
    But for those who don’t mind reapplying a few times a day or only need it to last a few hours on an evening out, this is perfect. Sophisticated, classy and unique.

    I just love the smokiness of this. Also my sister says she loves the scent I leave behind the house before I leave for work. She even commented that it reminds her of YSL Opium (which I also love). And I can see why, every note in L’eau Ambree – citrus, patchouli, rose, amber, vanilla and opopponax are ALL in Opium even in their top note, middle note and base note order. Except I don’t think I can wear Opium in the office – way too strong. But it has the same smoky, balsamic, resinous quality – but cleaner, more sophisticated and not in your face. I don’t think I can get sick of this!

    My bf very rarely notices and says anything for the perfumes I am wearing, but I have to say this one impressed him. For some reason I thought it didn’t last too long, and for that reason I only wear it at home or when I am ready to go to bed, love it I find it very comforting.
    So I put it on the other day, cuz I was planning to stay home and relax, but then I had to go to get couple groceries, and here I got my first compliment from deli cutter. After that I end up going to multiple other places since I was out already, and everywhere I go I get at least one compliment, and then I went for a bite with a friend, and she gave me compliment as well, and that was around 9 pm. I guess I was wrong, because I got so many compliment, therefore it is quite noticeable, it is close to the skin but at the same time stands out.
    For me it is more fresh, then flowery, smelling some kind of sourness and sweetness in a very nice combination. I couldn’t smell it myself, but I got compliments in a 7 hours timeline, without reapplying . Love it!

    I love this so much that I have about four bottles. My skin brings out the amber and rose. The patchouli ensures neither one is shrill. I like it when it gets powdery and fresh. Yes, Prada definitely has a signature style. They seem to be flankers of each other but with a twist. For awhile, I’ve been thinking that I have been wearing and loving Infusion d’Iris but it is L’eau Ambre that is the culprit. It lasts long and people comment positively about it. It projects but thankfully, the scent is soft enough that people gladly sniff the air when they catch a trail. I could wear this night or day and just about anywhere. Lasts many days on my scarf.
    One spray on me:
    Sillage: about a foot for two or three hours
    Longevity: about 5 hours
    Rating: 5/5

    I have a history of being unobservant/generally absent-minded and buying one perfume when I really mean to purchase another. My purchase of L’eau Ambree was a prime example of that, where the tester in store was Amber, which I loved, so I grabbed a box of it from behind the tester, only to discover once I got home that I had bought L’eau Ambree.
    I couldn’t help but be somewhat disappointed, as L’eau Ambree lacks the depth and warm-spicy feel of Amber that I loved. I wanted smoky oakmoss, sandalwood and musk, but I got lousy citrus instead!.. Anyway. After a month or so had passed, I decided to get over my initial disappointment/general heart-break and prejudice, and give L’eau another go.
    On me, it’s a powdery warm amber on a patchouli base. Almost a minimalist scent, it’s very classy and ‘lady-like’, without smelling too old/mature. It’s quite subtle, so it’s a good go-to for me when I need something inoffensive and appropriate for a professional setting, but still something oriental that I actually enjoy wearing. The citrus is hardly noticeable on me (thank goodness for that), I can smell it in the opening when I first apply it, but it disappears not long after that. Could be a unisex fragrance.
    Overall, it is a lovely fragrance, which I will continue to wear (and enjoy) on a regular basis… I’m still going to keep an eye out for a bottle of Amber though.

    This is a lovely one! The opening seems to me like a green powder (if that exists) -fresh, floral, thick, slightly sweet. But then I notice something elegantly bitter. An adult sadness that you can see in the eyes of a mature lady because of her romantic but still sad experience of life.
    It stays close to the skin, the staying power on me is

L'Eau Ambree Prada
