Finally, the base of Patchouli, Cedar, Sandalwood and Ambroxan anchors the composition, providing the lasting trail and the memory Prada L'Homme leaves long after you have left the room.

The overall accord profile leans toward Powdery, Iris, Soapy, Woody, making Prada L'Homme a composition that reads with purposeful clarity to anyone paying attention.
