I was saddened to hear that Amber Pour Homme might be discontinued, both because it puts something lovely out of reach but also because the perfume landscape (and certainly PRADA’s line) will be poorer without it. In my opinion, this fragrance deserves the iconic status of being considered the reference 'soapy' men's fragrance… Aside from being highly original in conception and execution, it offers a sane iteration of a genre so prevalent in the 21st century, that of unconventional presentations of natural materials (supported by a very conspicuous thematizing of synthetics) to create spatially detached, urban-minimalist, post-industrial and futuristic effects… Amber Pour Homme can indeed smell like a ‘dryer sheet’ and yet does not wear as something inert, ‘bloblike’, monolithic, faddishly conceptual, or pointedly artificial…Instead, it is persistently warm, balanced, mobile, complex, expressive and reasoned – in short, it is good company for the human skin. While I get fairly moderate performance out of PRADA Amber Pour Homme, I find it easy to wear day after night after day, not because it is ‘office safe’ or ‘a dumb reach’, but because it is so quietly rich and thoughtfully designed -- a thinking person's soapy bliss. With this juice on, I feel—and smell—so clean. Not just squeaky clean, but the luxurious kind of clean. Something that I might not afford even if I abstain from fine bread for a month or so. On train rides, around the corner of my eyes I see members of the crowd too, secretly trying to catch some whiffs of my scent, which probably radiates from an arm’s length. It stays like that for seven to ten hours, until it fades to a manlier skin trace. Manlier, I say, because at its early stage, this scent is more inclined to being androgynous. As I had mentioned earlier.

hours ago from now specifically yesterday.. October 3rd , 2022.. I wore 10 sprays of Prada Amber pour homme EDT for the first time when I went to celebrate the night of Saint Teresa of the Child Jesus in her beautiful ancient church in Shubra street, Cairo. It's balmy, yet sweet..complicated, yet simple. Hard to put your finger on, and hard to describe. There's something misty, foggy, and powdery about it. It's clean, spicy, and sharp all at the same time. On my skin, it's smooth and sexy. I picture this fragrance being worn by a well-groomed, suit-and-tie, 30-something man. It's very metrosexual, as a man who takes care of himself.Another standout feature of Prada Amber Pour Homme is its longevity. It lasts for several hours without fading, so you can enjoy the scent throughout the day. Additionally, the sillage, or the fragrance trail it leaves behind, is just right, making it noticeable without being overpowering. I've always had a special love for this fragrance, despite the fact that NO ONE I've asked has ever liked it on me. Whatever. I wear fragrances for ME, not to impress other people. Luxury is about attention to detail, that's what you pay for and this truly is a luxurious haute parfumerie, but at a reasonable price actually. One of the things that makes Prada Amber Pour Homme so special is its versatility. It's suitable for any occasion, whether you're dressed up for a formal event or simply heading out for a casual day. This fragrance is perfect for any season, and it can be worn day or night. The comparison to soap that has been made by so many was part of what led me to try this fragrance, but as I have come to love it I’ve wanted to better understand the composition’s underlying complexity. It has taken me awhile to sort out my impressions because everything I'm describing happens on a very subtle level. Here goes:

I recently bought a 10ML sample of Prada Amber based solely on these memories from my adolescence. It is a fine, even a lovely scent. Very modern for its time, and does not smell dated in 2022. I don't know why, but I was not expecting it to be SO amber-y on the dry-down. But the top is all soap and clean neroli powder. This is a very sophisticated, calm, well thought through and masterfully blended fragrance that goes so well with a suit I've owned many bottles of it since its release, being mercilessly complemented by co-workers. It never disappoints.This is a good scent for certain professions because it has no character of its own. While most fragrances have a sort of character to them: loud (the scent kidnaps every nose in the room); sexy (trying to add impression points); you get my point? Amber Pour Homme wants to remain invisible. Therefore, I would recommend this to people in certain professions that need to be intimate but do not want to impress like pastors, counsellors, teachers, dentists, chiropractors, nurses, lab researchers, etc. The opening notes of bergamot, mandarin, and neroli give way to a heart of cardamom, geranium, and vetiver. The base notes of patchouli, tonka bean, vanilla, and sandalwood provide a warm and inviting finish to this masculine fragrance. The first version (with "Résine de Labdanum de France" as on the plaque) made me marvel at its sharpness brought by cardamon, aldehyde and neroli. And then the powdery contour by labdanum, patchouli and the signature synthetic animalic note of Adrier. I wasn't realize this bottle has anchored my taste for fragrance since then until I find myself keep seek the beauty of something like L'Eau d'hiver or J'adore EdP (1999 formula). It's the contrast somehow emerges from delicate, continuous layers of nuance that keep drawing me to smelling a little longer. Also the twist of existed genres: ApH has a fougére structure, only the patchouli-resin base is heavily articulated its greasiness and cocooning texture, as the "modern amber" conceived by Adrier and further developed into following Amber perfumes.
