Description
Amber Pour Homme Intense is the new, reinterpreted and more intensive version of their debut male fragrance from 2006 Amber Pour Homme.Amber Pour Homme Intense defines that sophistication and masculinity of the original perfume and intensive aroma of amber with exquisite high-quality ingredients, in order to maintain the blend of tradition and modern trends that is immanent to Prada.
The oriental fougere composition highlights Italian bergamot, Somalia myrrh, Indonesian patchouli and vanilla from Madagascar as the main ingredients. Bergamot causes sparkly and fresh opening; hot and spicy resin of myrrh creates a rich and intense aroma; patchouli is attractive and seductive, while vanilla is a gentle and warm, completing the fragrance together with amber.
The bottle is designed like its predecessor: narrow and rectangular with a silver plate inscribed with the fragrances’ main notes. The new bottle is colored in intensive black, packed in an elegant gray box featuring the house logo.
Amber Pour Homme Intense is available from April 2011 in bottles of 50 and 100 ml EDP Intense and as deluxe edition with a high-tech spray of 100 ml EDP Intense.

Will describe my impression without considering the notes breakdown above.
Very comforting perfume. I can smell a combination of patchouli, amber, iris, white musk and incense.
It’s doesn’t develop much and it has moderate projection.
I like it but don’t love it.
dabyabnoneync – :
I initially fell in love with Tom Ford Noir then read that amber intense is very close so in a leap of faith I blind bought it and boy was I happy that I did! very sophisticated and mysterious dark scent for the man who’s up to no good, it’s a blast of myrrh and patchouli that takes an oriental to the next level, great performance best left for winter nights.
vvv1998 – :
Rich, deep and beautiful. Absolutely phenomenal scent. Projecting strongly, unlike some i love the opening it has that barbershop vibe but with an upscale feel.
10/10, instant fave
bcnjvby4813 – :
This is a awesome balsamic scent, forget what the haters say. Deep, mysterious and sophisticated, for a designer scent. This is the more concentrated version of the original thats why it smell so much more spicy in your face. Its not the soapy smell of the original. It depends on you, either your into oriental spicy or not.

I was extremely disappointed when I first got this perfume.
After blind buying this a couple of months ago and spraying it on my wrists for a test run, my reaction was immediate…boring, generic, over hyped, etc etc. I immediately posted an unflattering review here, placed the bottle in the back of my collection and counted my loss.
For no reason whatsoever, I decided to give it another shot and wore this to work today. I wanted to kick myself for being so fast in my judgment! This juice is stunning!
Elegant, refined, calming…A true gentleman’s perfume. The scent is a combination of TF Noir, Habit Rouge and Dior Eau Sauvage Parfum 2012.
zasokomsigat – :
Barber soap – that is all I can smell. Don’t get me wrong, I do enjoy the scent, but I have to be in the mood for it.
KNONYPEOCCAGE – :
A couple squirts on the back of my hand and up wafts the wonderful fragrance of Giorgio Beverly Hills for Men. Lovely.
Instantly this becomes sharp and unrecognizable.
After the dry down it softens into something a bit
powdery that I REALLY WOULD PREFER TO BE . . .
Giorgio Beverly Hills for Men.
xcr230Diobtetty – :
This is…not at all what I expected it to be, both based on the name and the notes here. Not sure if that’s a good or bad thing, though.
For one, this is very distinct. I would have a hard time confusing it with any other fragrance. This is a heady, intoxicating, sweet fragrance with a certain darkness or ‘murkiness’ to it. Earthiness, too. It’s hard to describe!
The opening smells like bubblegum, dried fruits or Coca Cola to me – anyone else have this experience ? Perhaps it’s the myrrh + patchouli + vanilla combo, who knows. It’s syrupy and almost a bit fizzy. Then it gradually gets more vanilla and amber in, and becomes a smokey, woodsy, slightly leathery sweet vanilla with a distinct dried fruit/Cola backdrop. Very different and very intriguing.
I’m still trying to decide whether I ‘like’ it or it just ‘intrigues’ me thanks to its novelty, but the performance is definitely solid. Above average longevity and fairly strong projection.
EDIT: A few weeks and several tries later, I’ve decided I really like this. Maybe not quite ‘love’, but it’s definitely head and shoulders above most fragrances I’ve tried in a long time – so distinct, elegant and potent. Would probably be a ‘love’ for anyone who enjoys avant garde scents and/or amber scents that are somehow fizzy and peppy instead of ‘heavy’.
Reperguift – :
I wear this juice just for me.Something in it and its sibling just calm me down.
Its very relaxing.A bit harsh when first applied but quickly gets perfect.
Lasts all day,no longevity issue here.
I like the art deco bottle too.
The notes are well blended but i get mostly patchouli and vanilla with a little dry myrrh.
I like the earlier Prada fragrances more than the recent offerings.
LiGoLais0 – :
This one has nothing to do with the original Prada Amber which is one of the best soapy fragrances and preferable for Summer and Spring.
This intense version to me is a modern take on Chanel Antaeus, a beast mode from the early 80ties. Even without the Castoreum or any other animalic note, it comes quite close in the sence of acid.
Very good Fall Winter fragrance for me. Performance is also quite good.
npv96 – :
look. ive owned both original prada amber which smelled great like a fresh soapy rain……i dropped it running to a bus years ago so mad……so i bought the intense version………oh man this is MUCH BETTER…..patchouli and myrrh….dark…sensual….alluring…..mysterious………i own midnight in paris edp……i own vintage armani black code….and vintage la nuit de l’homme, and dior homme intense……..but this one from prada……IS A SLEEPER HEAVY HITTER IN OUR COMMUNITY…this one should be getting more attention…..the intial blast may have very strong intense opening but it is a sexy man beast scent. up there with the top designer scents of the last 7 years. for real.
anna(sany) – :
One of the very best, a bit old school in terms of age but without doubt one of the greatest fragrances I hsve ever smelt
Prada – you should be proud of yourself as this is class
blifynisy – :
On my skin, on the drydown I get a patchouli vibe that reminds me of LIDGE slightly. Kinda like a chocolatey patchouli..none the less I think it is a great fragrance!
Anybody else notice that? hope I’m not crazy or that my bottle went bad!
ALEX101286 – :
I’ve been wearing this for quite some time now and its an absolute masterpiece!
Bravissimo Prada!
Sexy, elegant, utterly seductive, captivating, alluring, confident, classy and suggestive all in one bottle!
A beautifully blended fragrance for a smart, interesting and smooth man. Ladies of all ages adore this! Separate’s the men from the boys.
It’s sexy as f***!!
10/10

My oh my, where do I start with a review of such a masterpiece? How about this–One of the best designer fragrances to have EVER appeared on the market.
This is truly a hallmark of a fragrance. It gives off heavy vibes of class, sophistication, cleanliness, taste, and other various things people have used to describe me. From the initial spray, you get a powdery and soapy vibe, similar in smell to Old Spice. There is a splash of bergamot in the top as well, giving off a sparkling fresh sensation. Upon drying down further, the smokey resinous myrrh and patchouli, along with various woody notes, start to reveal themselves over a base of amber and vanilla. Once the mid to dry-down phase begins to occur, you feel like you have been wrapped in a blanket of some of the worlds finest and most expensive materials. This fragrance is indeed very rich, sensuous and alluring. I don’t see anyone using it for casual wear. This is that fragrance that you’d spray on before an event, a date, or an upscale club.
It is quite potent, so be easy on the trigger–I use 4 sprays (Coming from a guy that uses 8-12 sprays of most any other fragrance).
As far as versatility, I’d prefer to use this in the fall and winter months, but it is suitable for any season or weather EXCEPT on a hot/humid summer day. At the office, one spray under the chin and one on each wrist is plenty to last you almost all day without offending others.
Ultimately, this is an amazing fragrance.
10/10

Patch bomb.
kji549Bessinepome – :
Knock out of the ballpark spectacular frag for Fall or Winter. Projection and sillage are great on my skin, next to niche quality. This is no question a definite 10/10 for me!
ghackg – :
This is my signature scent and I am lucky enough to have a lot of very expensive fragrances.
I find that women love this stuff. It’s warm and comforting but at the same time extremely sexy. Wear this on a night out and you will be getting compliments.
10/10
hryushkin – :
Like the original, but more; more elegance, more mystery and more sophisticated sensuousness. This is how I like my intense/parfum editions to smell – more of the same as opposed to a wholesale re-working of the original. The silage and projection are fabulous and bottle looks lovely and quietly sophisticated too.
артемка86 – :
Prada Amber Pour Homme Intense (PAPHI) affords you the opportunity to smell ethereal and sensual, or sacred and sexy, at the same time. And who would smell like that? A wiser Jon Snow from Game of Thrones, or Celeborn or Elrond or Thranduil from The Lord of the Rings. Or even Galadriel from The Lord of the Rings—if she were a man.
PAPHI is purely a masterpiece, without anything cheap or synthetic in it. And to my nose, this masterpiece of a fragrance has three phases. Or faces. It starts off very manly with a strong, almost intimidating sillage. “Sparkling bergamot,” Prada claims.
In the middle, probably when the myrrh and amber and other notes take over, the scent transitions to something elusive and mystical. Smoky and balsamic when the weather is warm. Floral and woody when days are colder. These accords richly envelope you one after the other in an alternating fashion, with a now moderate projection that leaves a glorious trail.
Finally, when it dries down the scent becomes warm and caressing, like the natural skin scent of some kind of a mythical king. And that’s when things start to get intimate. At nightfall. This is my signature fragrance, and I keep six bottles of it.
Euronna – :
I’m starting to think this is a more of an “On the Go Fragrance.”
I can’t just sit around with this one on without being focused on something outside of myself that has something to give or just as much or greater energy I willingly give.
I think it would be perfect for traveling ventures because it’s so mysterious, and elusive. I have yet to get a definite feeling for it because it’s moody. It varies from alluring smokiness, conscious resins, kind florals, and easygoing woods.
Nonetheless, I enjoy it.
I can’t put my finger on it. I can see how someone can consider it too harsh and/or unwearable. Instead of packing one big punch, it offers a couple dozens of slaps to your nostrils, happy I finally got a hold of a bottle.
diduxim9 – :
This is the best from prada. Its like a softer soapier and more cuddly version of Antaeus. Patchouli and myrrh. Romantic and alluring. Great for date night, church or another fancy high class outing.
chekanow – :
This smells so good I want to wear this when I shouldnt like In heat or the office in the summer it’s that good really starting to like Prada they are growing on me. I blind bought this. The amber is intoxicating

60% night/ 40% day fragrance
nice smoky and floral scent
reminds me of Tom Ford noir without the iris
pypebabSDuecy – :
Mystical and Heavenly is the overall feel. External appearance do justice to it. It a perfume to be worn at night with your secret lover.
dan-mm – :
Here’s the long and short of it. It smells like Old Spice. A lot. If you like Old Spice, as I do, you will like this.
I blind bought PAPHI despite hating PAPH. Although I’d like to believe that it’s a ‘refined’ or ‘sophisticated’ adaptation of Old Spice, I don’t think I could justify a repurchase.
XBOP – :
I love the regular Prada Amber Pour Homme, so was super excited to get the intense version. This is a much darker, spicier take, with the original’s barely-there patchouli turned up to a 100. That, along with the myrrh, give it a dry, dusty, Christmas-y quality to my nose. I love the cool transparency of the regular Prada Amber, and this one strikes me as pretty much the opposite: thick, warm, muddy. The dry down is nicer than the opening, slightly sweet and powdery, with some sharp spices floating in the background. I start to get hints of the amber/saffron/labdanum/vanilla of the original, and am thinking this might actually be nice in the winter, in a big peacoat and scarf. Maybe I’ll break it out again then. Right now I can’t imagine wearing it.
(Also, this gets compared to Tom Ford Noir a lot, and while I’m not the biggest fan of TF fragrances – the ones I’ve smelled/own tend toward a bit dirty – I do prefer TF Noir over this.)
Final thoughts: buy this if you love Patchouli, or are looking for a cozy cold-weather scent. I definitely wouldn’t recommend blind buying this on the strength of Prada Amber Pour Homme, though, as it’s not very similar in feel at all. If you want a richer version of PAPH without the patchouli, I’d recommend trying Prada Infusion d’Iris Absolu.
StOrC – :
Another intense and mysterious masculine fragrance from the ingenious accord of amber and patchouli, with an added husky depth of myrrh, both “fresh wood” and “prized possession”, “earnest tradesman of beautiful things” and “luxurious machismo”. Past these main notes of patchouli Amber and myrrh slight hints of spice and a comforting sweetness are present, and I can detect saffron musk and sandalwood, even the hint of leather now that it’s pointed out to me.
PAPHI achieves both earthiness and luxurious splendor with its clever use of resins. Classy and pointedly sexy, this scent is due to be a favorite of mine.
go270972 – :
So far, my favorite Prada. The myrrh, amber, patchouli and saffron are the main players to my amateur nose. It’s rich, and transparent at the same time. It projects pretty well and lasts a good 6 to 8 hours on my skin, which is miraculous! Even with the myrrh and patchouli, it somehow has a freshness about it. Very appealing fragrance. Good job, Prada!
leu736Bessinepome – :
This stuff is elegant, but also versatile enough to wear often. It reminds of old achool mens fragrances, with the sharp barbershop soapy notes, but is also modern because of its warmth and sweetness. Beautifully balanced, and a present day power fragrance for myself at least. It feels both smooth and serious. A modern classic.
Cayman – :
I really love this one, would’ve never thought of trying it cause I found the original to be boring and soapy, but then a friend recommended that one and I got it at a bargain deal.
And oh my! Never thought that the myrrh could be this good, together with the patchouli they make a great combo and really amps up each other heavenly.
Very classy, a suit and tie type of a fragrance but still you can rock it anytime.
Performance is above average.
When this is in its middle and dry down stages, I get, ever so slightly, some hints of Midnight In Paris V&A which is very interesting. I guess that’s due to the leather and the tonka in here.
kan99 – :
I bought this at a bargain from the internet, any my, what a good buy this was!
I love how the myrrh and amber go along beautifully with each other, accompanied by hints of vanilla and patchouli
I like to imagine it as a younger brother of the eau sauvage parfum, minus the vetiver…a modern and very easy to wear interpretation of myrrh and amber.
silva – :
One of my favorite fragrances of all time. It is such a beautiful scent. I love the vanilla and myrrh together, it definitely smells like a very refined barbershop scent. If you’re into clean, barbershop scents, this is definitely one you’ve got to try if you haven’t already. It’s definitely a safe blind buy too.
The projection and longevity are average to slightly above average and I get a lot of compliments with this one. It’s easily the best men’s Prada fragrance. There is definitely some DNA shared here with Luna Rossa Extreme but this is the better fragrance of the two.
Prada Amber Pour Homme Intense is an underrated gem that doesn’t get talked about much anymore. Don’t overlook this one!
Sergey132 – :
This is TF Noir minus the powdery note. It’s less linear than the TF in my opinion. I like them both. This is classy and going to be a favourite for work for sure.
p0stnewsexpert82 – :
I like it, but I do not recall getting any compliment when I wear it.
I think is suitable for cold weather.
BORIS51 – :
Wow…classic scent with an awesome performance! Highly recommended!
kanomalanga – :
10/10
Tuchkevich – :
Dark, rich, classy. PAPHI starts out with rich myrrh and patchouli notes, settling down to something both warm and dark. The combination of notes is somehow chocolatey. Its dry down is warm and enveloping. This exudes class and style.
Scent 8/10
Longevity: 9/10
Sillage: 8.5/10
P.S. This is NOT discontinued.
vanoc33 – :
As a myrrh-aholic, I wish there were a lot more myrrh — I can barely smell it!
To me, PAPHI (which is obviously pronounced like the Spanish word “papi” — very apropos) is a spicy patchouli aftershave.
It starts with the peppery bergamot-dominated citrus open. The hotter spices and the patchouli are right on its heels as the higher-middle notes give a strong showing from the second sniff onward. (Like many pradas, this has more of a four-layer pyramid than a three-layer.)
As the hours go by, the aggressive heat gradually calms down into a soothing warmth as the oriental elements of vanilla, benzoin, and labdanum becomes more noticeable. The woodier notes of the myrrh and patchouli slowly fade, as the balsamic/resinous notes balance out the sweeter spices with just the right amount of bitter and sour — a masterpiece of tasteful blending.
In the final phases of the drydown (we’re talking 8+ hours) the spices are only barely present. The vanilla/amber/tonka base smells vaguely like Pi, but it’s neither gourmand, nor androgynous.
In fact, the fragrance is very masculine the whole time, though the aggressive, domineering opening soon softens into a far more gentlemanly, comforting scent. Unlike the original Prada Amber Pour Homme, this is not the sort of scent a girlfriend would want to borrow — unless she has a girlfriend herself! (In fact, a few of my women friends who like men’s colognes could definitely pull this off — but they’re very much the opposite of closeted.)
It has great longevity. It fades, but never truly disappears.
Speaking more personally, I love the classic progression from an aggressive, manly open, with a musky background, to a sweeter (yet still balanced) scent. That’s because, like many men, my skin becomes musky over time. Not talking about BO– I’m just talking about the natural scent of skin. When I come out of the shower smelling boyishly fresh, PAPHI makes me smell like a grown man. 10 hours later, my skin smells pretty manly on its own, and PAPHI turns my musk into a classy, refined elegance.
Trixypixyx – :
This stuff is so good! Got it while in Vegas, put it on and got a compliment right away in the elevator.
Tbh when i first smelled this it reminded me of CK Shock, but more in depth and classy. Also reminds me of some high class after shave.
I will only wear this when i am in a nice button down and going out somewhere nice.
The juice, i give 9/10.. Great smell, good perfomance.

اگه یه بابای خوش تیپ و جاافتاده و شیطون دارید این کار میتونه هدیه ی مناسبی براشون باشه..
شروع کار یک پخش پرو پیمون مرکباتی با همراهی یک پرده خیلی خیلی ملایم دودی داره و تقریبا همون اول ها یه حال و هوای نوستالژیک و کلاسیک خودشو از دل عطر بیرون میکشه .. حضور و شروع بازی مر و پچولی ، کار رو یه کم از تم جوون پسند شاداب در میاره و میبره به سمت کلاسیک ! حدود10 دقیقه بعد یه کم رایحه عطر صابونی میشه و یه هجمه ملایم صابونی خودش رو میکشه رو پیکره عطر… حالا دیگه جنگ روایح کلاسیک ونوستالژیک و مدرن شروع شده، یه جاهایی با قلدری یه جاهایی کجدار مویز افسارهم رو میگیرن تا جایی که روایح اسپایسی حمله میکنند و به مدد روایح چوبی حال کار رو خوب میکنن.. نقش پچولی و کهربا پررنگ میشه و از اینجاست که کار اونی میشه که باید!!! شیک و دلنشین ،اسپایسی – دودی خوشگل تا آخر عمر عطر
ماندگاری مناسب حدود6 ساعت روی پوست من داشت ، پخش بو خوبه امااونجاییکه تازه بوی عطر جالب میشه دیگه خیلی بالانیست
DarkAngeL666 – :
First off, I made a mistake. Should’ve got the normal sprayer bottle instead of the deluxe one. It’s clunky, doesn’t spray much, has leakage issues if you tilt the bottle.
Now the frag.
Manly, kinda old school shaving cream vibe but refined at the opening. I think Amber and saffron helps this smoothness.
It doesn’t go into the old school terrritory due to absence of oak moss and strong leather.
Very cleverly done.
This is in the same vein as Eau sauvage parfum. Strong myrrh. But they definitely smell different.
I prefer the opening on prada but mid and base of Dior is on another level.
Linear in my opinion.
Very confident, crisp yet smooth soapy kind of vibe.
I would say work, dressed up situation.
Perfect after a warm shower and hot shave.
Scent 8/10
Longevity 7
Silliage 7
Overall 8
Wish it developed a bit more instead of just softening with time.
Elegance from top to bottom.
Slot22 – :
What a Beautiful scent. Gives me the same vibe as Versace Man (the purple bottle) but a bit more sweet and complex. Definitely a top notch fragrance. Go get it before it’s gone!
Reshad92 – :
This is great stuff… pure spicy ginger and incense in the drydown… lasts a long time too. A real pick-me-up frag for me.

I just received this and it’s class in a bottle, this is gentleman stuff, high quality.
A reply to a reviewer on amber original:
I can smell LR extreme when I’m ironing my work shirts days after it’s been washed so longevity ain’t a problem, but it does sit close to the skin after 6 hours, this is the same for amber pour homme intense, both are in my top 5

You awake in a soft cloud, the room slowly coming into focus. The pastel yellows are as loud as they are soothing. Floral patters traced every inch of the bed and the ceiling and walls – stuck in a tacky, man-made garden that reeks of dank patchouli and dusty geranium. You slowly rise, as if your body is made of the heaviest stone, and walk toward what appears to be a bathroom. In the mirror before you stands a faceless, expressionless body made of blackened marble – you touch your face in disbelief, examining the glassy smoothness where there were once sharp features. The sound or marble touching marble echoes throughout the small space…you stare into the dark nothingness that is your face. There are various cosmetics lining the counter – you decide to try and create a face from the powder and blush. The tinge of cosmetic powder fills the air as you puff it on your face…the lipstick smears as you put it on – you look like a caricature of your old self. Frustrated, you walk the halls to see what is going on in this freakish house – you stop at a room as if pulled toward it. You walk into the bathroom and pull back the massive curtain, covered in an orange blossom pattern, and see another humanesque creme colored marble , much like yourself. You lift her and gently place her on the bed…your hand traces the outline of where a beating heart should be. Your finger taps echo throughout the house as you dumbfoundedly stare at the madness before you – her heart starts beating under the stone as veins of burning amber light up under the surface. You look down to see the veins pouring out from your amber heart – you are filled with an insatiable warmth…you are alive again. Hand in hand, the two beings leave the house to bask in the glorious sun and soak up the vanilla breeze that flutters across their new skin – no longer will they live a life of stone.
Day 80 – Missing Piece
Listening to: Tool – Schism
Notes: FYI, this is the short dream I had when I took a brief nap while trying to figure out what to write for the review. It was strange, frightening, and beautiful to live it in the first person. Dreams are definitely a strange entity! As for the scent, there are more notes listed than I can effectively pick out – the top definitely starts with a dense and earthy patchouli paired with a powdery geranium (and iris?) that is both classic and alien in its delivery. This is met by a semi-soapy leather accord (found in the original) touched by the light essence of orange blossoms. The fume lingers somewhere between floral and patchouli/leather for quite some time – then the magic happens! The base notes are far richer and more beautiful than the original – the amber and vanilla accord oozes gentle sensuality and it really is the star of the show. There are slight nuances of myrrh and labdanum, but it is all about the frothy vanilla cream and the decadent amber! The fume lasts well over the 10 hour mark but gets pretty quiet around 8 hours or so, and I feel that this is really no more masculine than the Amber marketed toward women so it could be delicious fun for everyone! I also noticed a difference between my bottle and what I smelled at Sephora last week, so make sure it’s the original version (the newer version smelled more like a barbershop fougere…like the original).
bekss – :
I can understand the similarity to TF Noir, but also, the are very much apart from each other.
It’s only a slight resemblance, but Tom’s one is very deep, non changing, constant, while this one is Airy and at the same time oriental and close to the skin. it is like you are surrounded by a wonderful cloud of dusty oriental smells. it is a lovely skin scent that states close to the body which i love. i hate perfumes which are way to loud. today there’s to many importance to smell like a monster when you come in somewhere aka 1 Million the ultimate stink bomb that smells like bug spray.
svinbass – :
Lovely, but very similar to TF Noir and Guerlain Habit Rouge EAU DE PARFUM version (which is very different from Habit Rouge EDT).
No need for this in my collection.
btr642 – :
I can totally smell the chocolate note.
this one is absolutely oriental which will appeal to people with these notes preferences. And one can safely say it is a standalone version compared to PAPH.
this one is sweet from opening to closure. Just perfect, LOVE IT.
EDIT: the “chocolate note” is in fact, after extensive sniffing; WAS MYRHH.
amu675JeomiWogkig – :
This Scent is simply bad boy in a bottle. Use it carefully.
So clean, yet dirty but also suave it is always a pleasure to wear and for that its a cracking scent.
Silage on my Skin is decent
Longevity – 8+ Hours
Uniqueness – You will stand out but in a mysterious way
Overall – Test it first definitely not for everyone, however if you want to be edgy, bold yet exude a suave bad boy aura …this is you!
pavelsilver – :
A very special juice, this was love at first sniff. As noted before, this bears only a passing resemblance to the original Amber, which had the same notes but adopted a rather pungent soap smell.
This EDP version does much more justice to the scent, in my opinion. It isn’t as *loud* as the EDT but there is an added richness and depth, so the layers are far more distinguishable and easier to appreciate. One of my favorites, and I will be using it frequently in fall/winter. If the note breakdown sounds appealing to you at all, just go for it. 10/10
Zemloleg – :
I love this one but on my dad, not for me, to mature, i just gave a 100ml to my dad, its good with elegance and quality smokiness but just not for me, i like this on my dad ..still got a 50ml with me which i think wont use fr another 5 years..
dgohfrey – :
I bought it this week via online and just arrived today.
I absolutely agree this perfume is oriental fougere. I can sense all the notes are listed in this perfume. Layer by layer i can smell it. Very professional,Sophisticated and masculine. It’s rich,deep,soapy-earthy-creamy powdery vibe. Absolutely for winter, cold rainy day and night out.
It’s not for everyone, must try before make a purchase.
Other perfumes are close to Prada Amber Pour Homme Intense:
1. Dior Eau Sauvage EDP
2. Chanel Antaeus Pour Homme
3. Tom Ford Grey Vetiver EDP
4. Coco Chanel EDP (in dry down)
honestly, it last 12 hours on my arms with 4 spray
Семен89 – :
Beast mode classy scent, the badge mate of Eu Sauvage Parfum, Egoist,Jaipur Homme Parfum Fan di fendi and so on… Nice in winter or cool summer nights with 3 sprays and thats it..for matuer guys…if you are a Suit and tie guy then this one is a must…Elegance on its very best… Very good Prada…
nazar5667 – :
Seems I am getting a different vibe than others in regards to the relation of intense to the original. To me they are only modestly similar in their very initial blast after which Intense immediately starts to get drawn to the dark side. The myrrh, amber and patchouli dominate it big time while nice citric notes swirl around with some tonka sweetness added. The further its dries down the more of the deep, dirty patchouli starts to take over. After an hour or two it smells to me like a city center park at night. Maybe Central park at night. Modern, urban vibe, with a good touch dark forest soil which makes its smell dirty, almost rooty in a good, mysterious way. To me it does also have some sort of a Coca Cola flanker vibe to it, which I am digging! Performance is top as well! Love this juice!
pfu344speagoessenda – :
I thought it was discountinued. To my suprise, I found a tester at Neiman Marcus. This would have been an impulse purchase right there and then but they only had a tester to tease myself.
Maybe it was discontinued, I’m not sure.
I need it anyway.
When I first tried it, I found it sour in a way. It’s like a fragrance that should have been “That Fragrance” (i.e OneMillion, Chanel Bleu, Sauvage, etc). It just a manner that it possesses but it’s not overly ostentatious; surely it will not go unnoticed though. Some time away from it made me realise how much I like it. It being discontinued made me realise that I actually love this stuff.
I think it has a darkness to it that I’m fond of. I can not put my finger on it..
kracilnikov1969 – :
this comes off on my skin as a combination of Dior’s Eau Sauvage and Midnight in Paris by Van Cleef and Arpel. It’s very clean smelling with the top coming off with a dose of Myrrh. The Midnight in Paris reference comes from a slight rubbery smell combined with the sort of fresh citrus. I know I’m the only that’s getting this combination, but you know what they say about chemicals and skin reaction. It’s going to differ for everybody.
mutalib007 – :
I like this one, it;s pretty nice, dark patchouli, resins and a tangyness. underneath you can get the original amber pour homme scent in there, but this one is a dark sorcerer, and much more making a statement than the original.
walkman98 – :
Un des meilleurs parfums de ma collection, très direct comme fragrance, original et unique a la fois, il a tout pour plaire… Pour les personnes qui aiment sentir un bon parfum savonné de luxe, ils vont trop aimer celui-ci, en tout cas, je le conseille fortement, il tient très bien, et sa projection est bonne aussi
À AVOIR !!!!
