Prada L’Homme is a modern take on barbershop elegance: iris and violet dusted over sandalwood, with just enough pepper to keep it from being sleepy. It smells like a very good shave and a very clean shirt.
It sits close to the skin, which makes it ideal for open-plan offices, flights and anywhere projection would be rude. Genuinely unisex despite the name. If you find most masculines too aggressive, start here.
Best for: Offices, flights and lovers of powdery, refined scents.
The opening — what you smell in the first fifteen minutes.
The core character, emerging after roughly half an hour.
The dry-down that lingers on skin and fabric.
Prada L'Homme suits office & work, everyday casual and weddings & special events. Its subtle intensity means you can apply generously; four or five sprays sits comfortably close to the skin.
Expect roughly 5-7 hours on skin with soft projection. Longevity drops in high heat and humidity, so Queensland and Northern Territory wearers should plan for the lower end of that range. Spraying one of your applications onto clothing rather than skin extends it considerably.
It performs best in spring and autumn. It is not our pick for a hot Australian summer — the composition becomes heavier as temperatures rise, so keep it for the cooler months.
It is marketed for men, but fragrance has no rules — the floral character means plenty of people outside that marketing category wear it happily.
Approximately $120 - $165 (100ml) at Australian retail. Designer fragrance is discounted almost continuously, so compare pharmacy chains, duty-free and online marketplaces before paying full department-store price.
