Prada Amber both intense is one of those you walk by and always regret not getting. I picked up intense as a blind buy and so happy I did yeah it's a bit mature, regal in fact, and a bit of a dual personality. It's the dry down that hollas the original Amber homme locked away in a dark mysterious dungeon. It is absolutely stunning and niche worthy. Fresh and clean soapy yet dark and complex yet simple. Absolutely love it for winter rainy mornings in a black hoodie. Another Fougere I'm absolutely obsessed with on the same line is Bois Argent from Issey miyake. Both modern Fougere classics that are dark and brooding yet elegant and soft. It's the duality of these fragrances that you can really appreciate.
That was lovely. I like the first impressions approach. Even when you have sampled and thought about a purchase for a long time it is wonderful to a new fragrance in your hands at last.
I have the normal Prada Amber Pour Homme. Belting scent. I also have the original Raghba and the Wood Intense versions. Got them both about 4 years ago. Loved them both since day 1.
I've yet to smell the Prada but hopefully some day. The Raghba is so nice, imo. And well, Roadster? Elegant warm weather staple for me, my brother. It was one of my first freshies last year that I absolutely fell in love with (where I'm not a Blue or Aquatics guy). Big congratulations and great content as always.
How did they get Roadster? Are they secretly sitting on a stash of discontinued stuff waiting for the optimal time to post? 🤔🤐😆😐😠😩🥴😔 The emotional rollercoaster. 😂
In K.O.P. mall In Philly Newman's has Roadster. Bought it immediately. Of course it was somewhat pricey but being as tho it's discontinued I say it was worth it but not a wow scent
Roadster is one of my favorites that I bought in 2022, kind of has like a shaving cream type of vibe but with mint instead of just straight oak moss like a lot of barbershop scents tend to do. Really good for spring.
I smelled Prada Amber the regular I believe? And it smelled awesome. It was very different and unique. It seems like something I'll never be able to find again. But I may be wrong.
Prada luna rossa extreme is another discontinued beautiful gem from prada, also dark with a lot of labdanum, black pepper and sharp juniper, i think you’d love that one too :)
Very entertaining video bro thoroughly enjoy your content Think i heard u say somewhere this year ur planning on checking out more designer if u havent already id def recommend Le male Le parfum i myself do not like le male edt but this version is utterly magical and intoxicating and i know Ross loves it as well lol
Nice haul, definitely appreciate the "off the beaten path" feel to the selections. Since you're trying a middle eastern fragrance, have you had the pleasure of trying Dolce & Gabbana The One Luminous Night? It's beautiful and seems to stay dynamic even in the dry down with a mixture of spices including frankincense I believe and a warm creamy vanilla.
Interesting video, Prada Amber sounds interesting. Raghba translates as Desire. The profile is typical of ME profiles and seems very interesting. I can't remember if I smelled Roadster before, but it sounds a bit too simple.
Could you do a Xerjoff dedicated video? I just bought my first bottle and I’m curious to see your opinion on the House. Also I just love how perfectly you describe the scent profile of fragrances
Great unboxing! Need to try these. Have you tried Guerlain Homme EDP? It is my favorite refreshing, cool yet bright, realistic mint fragrance. Like if you took the best vacation in a bottle fragrance and met it halfway with an awesome men’s signature fragrance. Easy to wear, refined, elegant yet fun, done in that Guerlain style. And since I know your style - not at all blue, shower gel, or synthetic. You might even get Cartier vibes with this one
@@stayfreshproductions definitely give it another shot! Since you mentioned roadster and in this video you had two fragrances you didn’t like and now revisited and loved, I thought I would mention!
Beautiful frags! Justin, do you think that Pasha EDT smells similar to Bracken Man? I have the 1st and I might get the 2nd, but I don't want redundancy considering the price difference. Thanks a lot!
They do have a little bit of crossover, but ultimately they have different personalities. However they could possibly serve the same function. Sample first, do not blind buy.
Cartier roster was my very first scent that I love..(well I didn't have a choice because I was stealing dome of my dad spray..) when I moved from Africa to the United States..I bought me a bottle..good stuff
All pradas smell nice.. o don’t think any is smells bad But maybe boring for niche snobs (could be since they smell clean) Yesterday I tried man in black again.. not for me yet… but now I did not dislike.. who knows in one year I might like it
@@DoubleOhSilver but i mean like what does someone mean when they say it smells balsamic because of course it doesn’t mean it smells like vinegar so what does it mean
Balsamic usually means a kind of tart-fruity sort of vibe. If you smell average Balsamic Vinegar, you get a lot of that sour “vinegar” smell. If however you smell a really high quality Balsamic Vinegar or Glaze with a high percentage of grape must, it smells less like “vinegar” and almost more like a sort of sweet fruity concentrated red wine sort of smell. So imagine what red wine would smell like if you cooked off all the alcohol and reduced it to a sort of syrup, and that’s the kind of “balsamic” vibe. A sort of dark, tart, fruity syrup sort of smell. If that makes sense? If you’re still unsure, buy some “Balsamic Glaze” (get one with a decently high grape must % if possible) and give it a sniff. 👍🏻
Balsamic/resinous is often used quite interchangeably. Most resins come from trees. Depending on the resin, it can have a damp wood-like sweetness (can be unsweet too). They are rich and enveloping. The easiest way to understand them is to smell fragrances that feature them (or you can by perfume oils if you’re interested). It is rare for designer fragrances to feature them as the face of a scent profile (it seems the ones that do get discontinued), so you may have to dip into indie and niche to do so. Teo Cabanel Barkhane, Oriza Legrand Reve D’Ossian, Amouage Jubilation XXV, just to name a few.
hey man recently ive fallen in love with h24 EDP so ive been wondering if you know any affordable mossy fragrances that have a nice spicy/aromatic twist, thanks
@@stayfreshproductions alternative and something similar, I dont have it but ive tested the edp and i love it (unlike edt) but im also trying to get bentley intense and ameer oudh so an alternative to h24 edp thats around the £60 range would be much appreciated
@@XX-zc6hx honestly, I’d rather recommend that you just get the Hermes. You said you fell in love with it. That tells me that it’s worth saving for if it is out of your price range. You’re not going to find anything that’s just like it.
@@stayfreshproductions fair enough appreciate it, what about alternatives for bentley intense - i was going to blind buy it but honestly i just like the sound of a boozy spice but im guessing its the best quality for its price?
Not questioning your integrity in any way but I always wonder when reviewers get sent fragrances, if that influences the way in which they review/opine about the fragrance
When reviewing fragrances that are sent from a particular brand, we as reviewers must be extra careful to be as transparent as we can be. But when assorted fragrances are sent from a store, there is no brand allegiance. The store does not care how we feel about the fragrances, because they will always have other fragrances that people want to try.
You're not wearing a box? Ok. So in a few years time or less, youtubers will drill holes into bottles, string 'em up and start wearing them bottles for realsies. Especially when smaller, lighter (and less heavy for the neck) bottles come in vogue.

I think both Prada "Intense" from the House (Amber Intense" and "L'Homme Intense") are my favorite from Prada. Just lovely, quality classy gems.
The Prada reminds me of African Black Soap. It's very nice!
Disgusting
I love Shea Moisture’s African Black Soap. Now I definitely need to try this!
Purchased Prada Intense a few months ago and loved it. Grabbed a backup bottle! Paired it with Pour Homme. Love them!
Great haul video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed night
I’ve had Raghba Wood Intense for about a year and I absolutely love it! It fills a niche in my collection that nothing else does.
Just bought prada amber intense. When you see justin and ross' both say "wow" you know this is a winner!
That was funny to see you get so excited from the last fragrance lol, but it was very nice of them to surprise you, great video.
Thank you Angelo 🙏🏾
Nice choice on that prada. The quality I feel is quite high on that one. Love the bottle too
Unboxing boxes is my favorite kind of unboxing
That was lovely. I like the first impressions approach. Even when you have sampled and thought about a purchase for a long time it is wonderful to a new fragrance in your hands at last.

Raghba Wood Intense is the only cheapie that I have a backup bottle of. It's not for everyone, but it's such a good deal for people that like it.
I have been putting off Prada Amber Intense up until today. Thanks for the heads up Justin.
Yessir 👌🏾
I really like your glasses. What brand is it. Great review as usual
Thank you. They are from Muse
Could you do a Xerjoff dedicated video? I just bought my first bottle and I’m curious to see your opinion on the House. Also I just love how perfectly you describe the scent profile of fragrances

Into the Am is awesome. I knew the brand because it's pretty popular in the EDM community.

Yesterday I tried man in black again.. not for me yet… but now I did not dislike.. who knows in one year I might like it
Prada is very nice.... It reminds me of a Gothic Barbershop.
I do it all the time!
Thanks Justin 3-25-2023👍🏽👍🏽
Looking swole bro! 💪😎
Appreciate it bro
#Stayfreshsquad dropping off more than just fragrance recommendations in this one. Step your game up gents, you will feel it, others will smell it.
What do you mean when you say balsamic because every time you say it all i think of is balsamic vinegar 😭
😂
Actually similar, just remove all the vinegar and you have balsamic (no, I'm not joking)

I dropped my bottle of wood intense and some of it leaked onto the carpet 4 months later I could still smell it
What is your attitude towards black opium/black orchid?
I like them both
@@stayfreshproductions Thank you, Justin

@@stayfreshproductions ohh crap!! I just noticed this. Not good with walking and commenting I guess! 😂
I basically blind buy everything. Yolo
