I bought intense based of recommendations from the community. Lots of people said they are very close but intense lasts longer and is more refined. After wearing it a couple times I really like it. I feel like it would be a great fragrance to layer with blue fragrances. I’m gonna try layering it with bleu de Chanel and bleu electrique.
I smelled the EDT years ago at JCPenney and loved it. I just ordered two bottles of Intense from Venba for $99 each, which is not a bad price in 2025. I hope it's blind-buy worthy.
Great review! I bought a 10ml decant a couple months ago. I wear it to work as a delivery driver. Had a couple of compliments too. Today I bought a 100ml for $129 aud from a large chain store. I checked the batch code and it says it was made in 2023. I read it was discontinued (maybe a review on fragrantica).. Thinking about picking up a 2nd bottle at this price.
I purchased a recent, Made in France version of Prada L'Homme at the Prada boutique in NYC in July 2022 and it performs much worse than the version that were once made in Spain. In contract, the Made in France version of Prada L'Homme Intense seems to perform just as well as in the past. I wonder if the degradation in performance is related to new IFRA regulations regarding Lilial in 2021/2022, or perhaps cost-cutting on Prada's end, etc. Just thought I would let your viewers know!
Great video Nate, Definitely going with Prada Lhomme as my SOTD tomorrow after watching this. My bottle is around the same level as yours. The dent doesn't lie lol
I dont find the PLI to be super similar to DHI. The only similarity i see is the iris. But it is a good fragrance. I wore this yesterday and got some compliments from it.
Same story when i first tryprada l'homme it i didnt uderstand the hype. Now i love it with all my heart. One of the GOATS. The performance thought...should be better.
Intense projects for about 4 hours for me but lasts all day on my skin, ill catch a whiff of it even after 8 hours. Lasts forever on clothes. I sprayed 2 sprays on my lounge shirt and it’s still present even after 5 days.
I’ve been told that this is similar to my all time favourite fragrance Dior eau for men which was sadly discontinued… ( I do still have a sealed bottle which I’m now afraid to open ) Thinking of giving the prada l’homme intense a go to see it a go to see how it compares… The only thing putting me off is that I strongly dislike Dior Homme intense for that awful handbag lipstick smell which seemed very overpowering… So seeing people compare it to that has me worried… Very confused though as I know Dior eau for men was a very iris dominant scent so it’s obviously not the iris im disliking in Dior homme intense…
@@danielcory4867 L'eau is better! Fresher and more versatile. Glad I have both but I reach for L'eau a lot more. Especially for work. No complaints for longevity or projection
@@danielcory4867 I bought L’eau by mistake (misread the name on order) and I agree it’s better, basically a non lipsticky summer time version of the OG Can be used in the same scenarios, it’s not as traditionally masculine as the original but it’s clean and uplifting
@@danielcory4867I have both, in practice I see no difference between them. Same versatility and good performance, I suggest you to take the one wich you find at a better price!
when people refer to it as soapy how so? when I think of “soapy” I think if a really strong artificial scent like Irish Spring or Zest, I’m looking for a more baby powder that has that subtle natural scent that also resembles rose petals.
Soapy vibes come from a bunch of things, But from studying perfume creation, My take is its a few musks like Habanolide, Galaxolide and Isomuscone with the addition of Floral notes like Hedione and Rose that make this clean soapy smell. dihydromyrcenol is also widely used to bring up the power that is used in alot of body washes now days. Bunch of other things that make it up, Because thats what alot of soaps use in them that we just connect the dots in our brains. Hope that helps.
@@ParagonFragrances I finally had the chance to smell this cologne in person and it smelled good but the scent reminds me more of baby wipes 😅 is there a cologne you can think of that smells like baby powder?
Tell me brother ; i have 2 questions : if u have to bay only one between this 2 frags... who is better at everything, 1-Dior Homme Parfum or Prada L'Homme Intense? 2- blue de chanel or allure homme sport eau extrem? And can u tell me why?
Dior Homme Parfum is a classy as hell fragrance, I think you'll get more wear out of Prada Though. What ever you're leaning into getting though, get that one. Bleu De Chanel has my heart, It will always be the best blue fragrance in my eyes. Eau Extreme is amazing though. But I would still say get BDC Parfum. BDC Parfum as a overall pick here.
Personally, Soapy fragrances are my favourite category even though it’s typically a more feminine leaning pick. L’Homme is a classic but personally I prefer Prada L’homme L’eau!!! Basically a fresher version and just makes you feel clean 🧼
Both are mandatory
I blind bought the EDT version... and i freaken love it, i guess i prefer floral scent, so now I am looking at the intense version.
Prada L'homme is a masterpiece imo. I've yet to try Intense though. I'm def gonna get it soon
I love Prada L’Homme L’Eau. Also love all of the Infusions line.

Have L'homme and L'eau! When I want soapy I bathe with CK Be. About 15-20 sprays
Do you like l’homme og or l’eau better? I’m trying to decide between the two also do they perform the same
@@danielcory4867 L'eau is better! Fresher and more versatile. Glad I have both but I reach for L'eau a lot more. Especially for work. No complaints for longevity or projection
@@redsalmon951 thanks for the help! I was leaning to l’eau

Hands down, I prefer the Intense version a million times over the original. The original is just okay.
L'Eau is the best to me
Tell me brother ; i have 2 questions : if u have to bay only one between this 2 frags... who is better at everything,
1-Dior Homme Parfum or Prada L'Homme Intense?
2- blue de chanel or allure homme sport eau extrem?
And can u tell me why?
