Prada L'Homme Notes Breakdown

Prada L'Homme opens with Neroli, Iris and Carrot Seeds — the first impression as it hits the skin. Once that burns off, usually inside the first half hour, the heart turns to Iris, Amber and Violet. What lingers on skin and clothing hours later is the base: Patchouli, Cedar, Sandalwood and Ambroxan.

Strip it back to the bones and the profile reads Powdery, Iris, Soapy, Woody — easy to place and easy to wear.
