Have you ever noticed how some people smell absolutely sophisticated and divine? Their fragrance is not the mass-pleasing one, it speaks pure class.
If you are someone who likes to keep themselves low key and holds a silent confidence, I have one fragrance recommendation for you.
You would have heard about the brand, but I bet you would not have heard of this particular perfume. Because it is not as popular and hyped by the fragrance community
Prada L’Homme L’Eau – The Sophistication Masterpiece
A woody chypre fragrance launched in 2017
How does the fragrance smell like
Prada L’Homme L’Eau is a woody, floral, and powdery fragrance that smells very unique. The moment you spray it, you get hints of citrus, white florals, and the juiciness of ginger.
After around 15-20 minutes, the powdery note in the base takes over along with iris and amber, making the fragrance smell like a premium soap bar from a luxury brand. It’s clean, elegant, fresh, and woody.
The sandalwood note is not very prominent here, but it just sits quietly underneath, giving the fragrance the right density.
Cedarwood is also mentioned in the base note, but my nose could hardly trace it, so it’s safe if you are someone who does not like cedarwood.
Notes Breakdown
Best Suitable Occasions
From the moment you wear this, it gives you a silent comfort and confidence. Prada L’Homme L’Eau is best suited for office settings because it is fresh, classy, does not project loudly, and doesn’t have any harsh notes that could make you or others uncomfortable.
It can also be worn during summertime (not under high heat) if you are taking a flight or catching up with friends for brunch. It will make you feel very comforted and happy.
I would also recommend this for your close encounters with your partner or on dates. People usually have a tendency to wear something loud and pleasing on dates, but this one is completely opposite, which is why I recommend it highly.
Lasting & Projection
The lasting power is good; on me, it lasts for more than 10 hours. The only drawback is its projection. I find it more of a high-performing cologne than a perfume.
The projection and silage are moderate. It will project in the first 15 minutes but later becomes a skin scent.
But that does not mean you will not be able to sniff it on yourself. You will definitely get whiffs of this beautiful perfume till the day ends. And I feel this is both a drawback and the beauty of Prada L’Homme L’Eau. Highly recommend this to individuals who are the low-key charmers, who don’t need a perfume to make their presence felt.
Number of Sprays
I recommend 4-5 sprays of this (on skin): 2 sprays on each arm and one on the back of your neck. It works best! If you want more projection, spray one on your shirt.
Always remember, with fragrances, less is more.
Coming to the main business, Compliments?
I have been using this perfume for more than 4 years now, and I am currently on my second bottle. Unless someone is sitting very close to you, they may not know that you are wearing such an amazing fragrance. Prada L’Homme L’Eau is a long-lasting cologne.
If you are looking for a great performer, then I would not recommend this. But if you are in a closed, air-conditioned environment, working on projects with your colleagues, certainly they will get a whiff of this beautiful perfume once in a while, and my friends, that one impression is enough! This is what you need with such a fragrance.
Packaging
Prada L’Homme L’Eau comes in a big blue box that looks good enough but takes up a lot of space. The bottle has a nice blue rubber-textured back, which makes it comfortable to lift and spray.
The sprayer is amazing; it’s one of the best in the business. It is very soft and shoots a nice mist, which tells you how elegant and effortless this fragrance is.
Available Sizes
In India Prada L’Homme L’Eau is available in 100 ml size costing approx. Rs. 9000/-
