Amber pour Homme
Amber pour Homme by Prada is a masculine-leaning eau de toilette from 2006 in the designer price tier. It opens with bergamot, neroli and cardamom, moves into tonka bean, patchouli and geranium and dries down to amber, vanilla, labdanum and myrrh. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Neroli Distilled orange blossom. Green, soapy and elegant.
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
Heart
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.
Dry-down
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
- Myrrh Bitter, smoky resin. Ancient-smelling and slightly cool.
