Prada

Prada Amber is a bold, modern oriental fragrance with a powerful initial impact and an unexpectedly nuanced evolution. It opens with sharp, green tarragon and citrus notes that feel intense and slightly confrontational—some describe it as medicinal or even astringent. This part of the fragrance is heavy and demands attention. Over the next few hours, it mellows noticeably, revealing a deeply textured core of patchouli, vanilla, amber, and sandalwood that feels warm, balmy, and slightly powdery. While the top notes fade quickly, the base remains rich and enveloping, with a soft, sweeter character that comes through well after the first two hours. The sillage is moderate to strong, with projection that can be quite noticeable, especially in close proximity or during cooler weather. Longevity is strong, often lasting into the next day, making it ideal for evening or autumn/winter wear. While it's unisex in both application and perception by many users, it skewers toward a confident, intellectual, and modern feminine aesthetic—edgy, powerful, and independent. The fragrance is intense and memorable, but requires patience and an open mind. It's not for those seeking light or sweet floral scents, nor for everyday wear in warm or compressing environments. Its sturdiness and character give it a strong presence, making it a signifier of personal style rather than a backdrop.
