When a professional pefumer says "it smells really nice, but underwhelming and safe" - that's when you know it's a bomb of a fragrance 😄
What you're experiencing is called cognitive dissonance. Your easily trick-able brain got tricked by a cheap hook in a questionable fragrance and now you can't face the reality where this is nothing special. It got discontinued for a reason, yo.
It's boring af
Givenchy Gentlemen Only is more like it if you're looking in this category. Super underrated and a hidden gem
This sums up why I like L'Homme more than L'Homme intense, the original is a great daytime and work scent this is neither an exceptional daytime or night scent I wish Prada didn't discontinued this as it is beautiful but understand to degree why they did.
Not discontinued nope
I love that you can personally not like a fragrance or find it boring, but still recognize that it’s well made and still smells nice. I think that’s noteworthy (pun slightly intended) because I’m sure it would be easy to write a fragrance off having such a highly trained nose.
Ofcause. The work involved in creating fragrance is massive. Time-consuming and expensive. To smash a fragrance is the worst type of hate. I love and respect perfumery.
That’s why you’re one of a kind fragrance reviewer, Aaron. Again, one of a kind!
@@AaronTerenceHughesclassy
Inoffensive, nice and smooth is rather the point of Prada frags. The whole range is like that. They are supposed to be suitable for professional outfits and environments.
That sounds boring af
@@rk-ve6jy every type of frag has its use, even a boring one, hahaha.
@@rk-ve6jy Some situations are boring af. Gotta smell good in those ones too
Excited to watch this video! I’ve been in the fence about buying this fragrance. Thanks for the review!!!
Good review and as usual I love hearing your thoughts about these popular fragrence. I own this one and it's very enjoyable to wear. Synthetic yes but long lasting and very safe for work. Thank you for your thoughts I think as usual you are spot on.
It’s a personal favorite
I have heard its amazing . I never put my nose on it
Yesterday bought 100ml already 3rd bottle i always change parfums never had the same parfum before but this is already 3rd bottle PRADA LHOMME Intense🥰
watching this video for the first time and seeing this comment makes me feel kinda weird. Rip.
Rip 🪦
rip.
Love watching your fragrance reviews. Everyone is a master class in perfumery. Love the technical and chemical composition knowledge you bring to the table.
Matthew Mills thank you
Thank you Aaron. Since you are a patchouli, rose and oud lover. You should do a series of reviewing perfumes where those notes are center stage in a fragrance.
Aaron being awesome like always :D Thank you !
Extraordinary review again. Very nice explanation even for those not very deep in the fragrance world like me, and also appreciate the part of "expectations" about a scent on its price range..
I still hope he will review Encre Noire and all its flankers one day
I gotta agree with you there
It’s a safe everyday scent for sure. Work/casual vibe. I highly recommend Prada Amber Pour Homme or even Prada Black. Those are my favorite from the house but they have some really nice ones in the Infusion line too
I love Prada Luna Rossa Black
@@Ne0nkiller so hard to get at the moment - Unless you go for the 100ml (U.K.)
@@DTJ2024 It's the same here in Sweden, luckily I got a hold of a 60ml 6 months ago.
Great video Aaron love your style
I love this DNA. Not something to show off, but to wear at home, work out, go shopping etc. It's neutral enough so I don't pick it up every 5 minutes, it's fresh and clean
Thank you for your take on this Aaron.I have similar feelings on this one.On to the next one.
Yes. Onwards and upwards.
Aaron Terence Hughes Can you make a Pure Tonka video? 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I'd be interested in learning more about musks. Would you be willing to do a video on it?
What are they used for? What would it be naturally and how do they imitate them with aromachemicals? What are the most often used musks and why? What even makes musk a musk when there's so many different types?
Stuff like that :)
Ok this did it, I must acquire one of your creations! Im looking into them, Great review as usual...
Thank you
I believe that even if it’s not very unique or ground breaking, this release was still heaps and bounds more interesting than 90% of the designers that come out nowadays.
Update: just picked a 100ml bottle up from prada for $120 and it worth every penny.
One of the very few scents that I always get complimented on when wearing it
Loved the video. I would like to see you review some tiziana terenzi or v canto
That salty sweet iris leather is intoxicating! Aaron's usually on point but he has it wrong this IS mindblowing for a professional gentlemans fragrance! Its mind blowing for it's category. So refreshing to smell something thats a tad sweet but something that doesn't smell like it belongs on a plate (Stronger with you intensely- *eye roll*). Original l'homme is boring but this is creative and beautifully done. Top 5 fragrances ever for me in the archives of Aventus, Invictus Aqua 2016, and D&G The one edp - it's that gorgeous!!! It smells like the leather interior of a brand new car; sexy crisp new refreshing sweet leather.
You just smell like old school ladies soap.
What you're experiencing is called cognitive dissonance. Your easily trick-able brain got tricked by a cheap hook in a questionable fragrance and now you can't face the reality where this is nothing special. It got discontinued for a reason, yo.
P.S. My bad for taking you seriously. Just saw that you mentioned invictus. Get ready for celibacy
Very honest and great review. I must say that while you give it a hit for the overwhelming use of synthetic aroma chemicals, I find it to be decently blended and more expensive smelling than other fragrances within the same category. Daniela Andriej has perfected (in my opinion) the art of delivering an expensive smelling fragrance in almost everything she creates for Prada.
Agreed....definitely more sophisticated and expensive smelling than others in its price range.
Ordinary soap. Orthogonal to shower gells
Daniela Andriej has been making lavendary soapy trash that smells like impotent men.
It's right in their scent pitch: "The new fragrant “pair of equals" represents man and woman that are “reunited in an identical vision. She could be him, he could be her."
Enough said. If you enjoy having a vagina for a penis get this. And that's coming from me - a man who wears Baccarat Rouge 540
Totally agree. Really nice, well supported review again :)
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you for saying that. My problem with the Prada L'homme line is it lacks the personality to me that a Dior Homme has. Do get a sample of Dior Homme parfum. That's magical
Fair review mate 🙂 as always
Picked up a brand new 2017 bottle this summer for £50 and been waiting until the weather cools down to give it a good wearing. I'm not disappointed..
I love how objective you are in your reviews and how honest. You are always giving us a very wide and wise analysis of everything that relates to a scent. Love all your videos. Blessings!!
Nick Cordero my pleasure 🦄
You've got such a beautiful soul 😎 passion comes through on your reviews!!! Thnx!!!
Well said, Aaron!. Thanks
I really appreciate your reviews, there is no one that can describe a fragrance like you!
I appreciate that!
It would be great to see you do a review of an Italian Barbershop brand Proraso Cypress & Vetiver and Wood & Spice
It smell luxurious to me and it was my wedding fragrance. I love Prada L’homme Intense and also Prada L’homme.
Which one is better?
@@doubledown4957 L’Homme Intense, it’s an EDP and lasts better than L’Homme which is an EDT.
@@MrBoddy72both perform the same, it mostly goes down to what you like, l'homme intense smells the same for me but the leather note is the only difference
Seeing as you don't like iris notes it would be interesting to see you review the Dior Homme line
I love your videos. I agree 100%. This cologne after only two hous faded into nothing. The only designer fragrances that I have worn over the last year are Blue de Channel parfum and Spice bomb extreme.and that was only on rare grab and go occasions. I think that the problem isn't with the cologne houses but their target consumer who lacks tihe self confidence to go for it and test the bounderies of what is possible. I will definitely be trying all of your colognes because once someone has tried filet mignon the Mcdonalds bigg mac starts to loose it's luster
I just ordered a 100Ml bottle for £70
Guess that's an okey-ish price, especially now that it is discontinued, I am curious how it's gonna smell 🍀
You say you don't like Iris?? Its a gorgeous note. This is one you shouldn't go heavy on. 3 or 4 sprays
Hi Aaron. Did you ever try original L`Homme ? People say that Prada L`Homme is very good quality and natural smelling scent. What do you think about that ?
It's funny that Aaron says it's safe and inoffensive. In my 40 years of wearing frags I find this is one of the most overtly sexual fragrances I've ever worn. The patchouli and iris are raunchy and dirty together.
Would love to see someone. ANYONE. Talk about Franck Olivier's Black Touch. Love your vids, see if you can get your hands on that dirt cheap fragrance! I ordered it because it seemed different and a decent blind buy but I'd like to know what a master thinks
How much did Aaron rank this in the end :)? Thanks
Ha, both the fragrance I mentioned that you have later reviewed have been "underwhelming" I did find Prada for 50 quid though.
Good job I wear Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille as well.
Andrew Jones £50 is a bargain for this. Bear in mind the high marks go to the ones I feel are ground breaking and make me feel something or tingle. To do that they really need a minimum of 30% high quality naturals or be built so amazing that I want to create art. This one was very nice. Well crafted and ok. It’s not mind blowing but well ... nice
Sometimes i find ATH to be pretty on point with reviews. Here I disagree completely. Firstly, yes its not mindblowing, its not meant to be. Its a designer frag. Its also the flanker to a frag that most know is probably the most office safe scent in existence. So it somewhat carries that DNA here but its a little darker and stronger. If it completely changed the whole profile then Lhomme heads wouldve been mad.
Price wise.. 70 pounds is not bad at all. Aaron's frags are like 100 pounds for a 50ml, 20 pounds for a 10ml.
Sure maybe with better ingredients but cmon.. lets not talk price when you charge what you charge. Anyone seen the msrp on the unicorn elixir for chrissake
put a small dab of ylang ylang essential oil. about 1/2 a drop or less to 1 spritz. it lifts the scent!
Please review original Prada L'Homme 😀
Would this be a good fragrance to go on a date?
I agree with you Aaron. This is also a pass for me. Could you do a video talking about ingredients that stick well to all skin types?
What do you think of the regular l’homme ? I’m very curious 😂🤟
I wear the EDT and feel similarly about it. It smells very good and very fresh but not super interesting. When wearing it, I've had plenty of people say "you smell good!," but no one has ever said, "you smell good...what is that?" Does that make sense?
Another popular TH-cam fragrance channel describes the fragrance (the EDT) as a "luxurious dryer sheet." I totally get that from it and perhaps that's why people don't ask what fragrance I'm wearing because it could be my clothes or a hair product even. It's just a very safe pleasant fragrance.
DARD that’s very true. It’s been built to be ok not groundbreaking
You seem to have a slight underpreciation of clean, young, professional, day scents, though you have rated Terre d'Hermes, Grey Vetiver and Monsieur quite highly, which suggests to me you only like them if they have a deep, mature background. Please could review the Bvlgari pour Homme range from the 90s? I wonder whether you find anything interesting about it.
The quality Prada ingredients is excellent
Hey Aaron, do you think fragrances that have a sort of green, foresty scent work well for the summer time such Green Irish Tweet or Burberry London?
I’m not Aaron, but I personally absolutely would not wear Burberry London in the summer. It’s too spicy and smoky I think. I don’t like Green Irish Tweed but I feel it’s more appropriate for warmer weather.
My daily scent for 3 years now. Both women and men have complimented me.
I have the original. Smells very nice and clean but nothing overly seductive or attention grabbing, a nice pleasant scent. I have smelt the Intense also and thought it smelt good (like the original but with some spicy notes added). Have you worn the original? If so would you say the Intense garners more compiments?
Me too. It's always like, mmm you smell clean
Does this smell like Dior homme parfum? Both being iris leather frags. I have DHP and I don’t want to much redundancy
I actually really like this one. When i want to smell nice and fresh and inoffensive at the office this is a great fragrance to reach for. Agree it's not very complex but sometimes all you want is something linear and pleasant. Like all Prada fragrances it also smells quality. I love iris, if i want to go darker and more complex then i'll reach for Dior Homme/Intense which is mesmerizing.
Good review. What you have to keep in mind is the scent does not live in a bottle. Perfumers have to understand the interaction within different body oils person to person. What smells good on you doesn't on me. However, field experience is the ladies love it. After dry down is where it shines. A young Japanese lady friend of mine went ballistic on me and put the karate grip on me if you dig.
What Hugo Boss are you referring to? I don't think you reviewed any Hugo Boss.
Thank you, Aaron. I've just avoided a disappointing buy
What do you expect from Prada?
I enjoy this one, but I vastly prefer Prada Amber Pour Homme Intense.
212 Men is such an underrated scent. Blasts off my skin and cheap.
I tried this on my jacket, the smell was there for 3 days, but it was very feminine to my nose...
I purchased a bottle yesterday 06 May 2024, sprayed 2 Sprays on my left arm...went to the gym, came home took a bath, slept, the next day I could still get wiffs of it, there is literally 3 Levels of dry downs to this i just can't explain it!!!
100ml is £53 on eBay from trusted sellers. I liked it... but then quickly went off it. I’ll be selling it soon.
Please tell me an alternative to tendre poison by CD please Aaron
What do you wear in summer assuming your taste is almost dark sweet, oud and you don't like green stuff i guess and not sure about aquatic but i remember from your videos you're not an Sauvage or Bleu de chanel man....
I am curious to know what do you wear during a summer hot day and if you have suggestions/brands for us...
Ousso Chou I am waring the new slut in the day as I’ve just finished reformulating it. But I actually ware my Oud all the time. I also love oxytocin layered over the top. But when I’m not on a break nothing as I’m constantly developing something. It’s the moment I’m developing the late 2020 early 2021 releases
Please please Chanel’s Egoiste next 🙏🏻
According to the ingredients list, it doesn't contain Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone. So, where is the iris coming from then?
Tony Malizia you can make iris accords from lots of raw materials. I never use iris so done really venture into Thoes
You can tell Aaron's personal taste for fragrances is that of Dark, Bold, Unique, Animalic and juice that smells like a raw sex session. Haha. All of the fragrances that the fragrance community or houses that make them say are night time or winter/fall fragrances, - Aaron is like- "this is a bright, light, safe and boring daytime fragrance for the spring." Lol
Angel Aguilar things do not stick to me. That’s why all mine are mammoth. I test them on me. If they last and project I’m happy. But I do love dark, sexy, rich, opulent and a mix of naturals and aromachemicls
@@AaronTerenceHughes Fair enough. You inspire me to be bolder in my tastes
True 😂
I hope you will do review on Guerlain Vetiver Extreme
You can get this one for $65 USD on eBay I believe!
Perfect price for this
can you do a video not reviewing but listing epic fragances on diffrent categories pleaaaaseeee
Please do : Chanel Bleu De Chanel Edt & Parfam
When you start looking into all the well-loved designer fragrances...you do realize how boringly similar many of them end up being.
They target the mass market so they make their fragrances safe and mass appealing. Making a lot of money is the goal...
Between this and Valentino Uomo intense, which would you pick?
Valentino Uomo Intense NO QUESTION
Thanks for another excellent video sir. It's nice to know that Prada is duping us into buying cheap goods for high prices. I will spend my coins carefully.
Who cares if it smells good… isn’t that what we’re here for
Like To hear your take on Fahrenheit Dior
I get hardly an hour of performance with the original Prada l'homme very disappointing! Any recommendations for a different office fragrance?
Try Evoke Gold Cologne by Ajmal, its dupe for Prada l'homme, its cheap and performs better.
Could you review, Armani stronger with you?, thanks
I think I watch for the hand gestures alone.
Blessed love king, u think this would work in the office? Big up your self my lord 🇹🇹
Absolutely 100% yes.
It’s one of the “go to office fragrances”, alongside scents like Bleu de Chanel and alike. It’s def. a “safe, inoffensive scent”. Agree with Aaron though, it’s overpriced, better off with something like Dylan Blue in your situation.
For the same reasons that he mentioned in the video it’s perfect for the office
I love Aaron reviews but I disagree in this case a bit. I think the fragrance is not that safe. Very elegant iris formulation.
I don’t like Iris dominant fragrances. I like it as a supporting note in some fragrances to add just a touch of powderyness.
I agree with you massively.
could you review tom ford soleil neige ?
U gotta try Prada Luna Rossa Black, its way more interesting than this one 😋
Do you think it works in high temperatures?
good question
Great video! One of the things that makes this fragrance stand out for me is the performance. Prada L'homme Intense is one of my strongest fragrances in my collection. Projects strong for hours and lasts for days. It is hard to find a fragrance at this price range that has such good performance.
Hello! Aaron can you please help me choosing a sexy wedding fragrance for a man what are your suggestions... thanks a lot
Mahir BAKIR I reviewed one that I said is a lovely wedding fragrance. I think one of the pdm is amazing. Really classic and beautiful. Or Tom ford tobacco vanilla
Thank you very much for answering me i appreciate that :)
Well it started off okay then went rapidly downhill 😂
These designer brands can release more unique and original fragrances they just choose not to. The reason is they rather play it safe and release fragrances that they know will sell and make them money. And majority of those fragrance are safe smelling and copy what is already out there and proven to sell to the customer base. I say every five years a designer brand will take chance and release something that is unique and that will take off and become successful and then all the other designer brands will copy it and try to cash in on that fragrance popularity.
Totally right man! Seems like the houses that take a big risk end up being the trend setters! Although if you look back to the 80s and 90s I think there was more individuality... yeah, there were trends ,and, a fair amount of overlap but it also seemed like every house had an iconic scent that felt exclusive to them. Today’s market is like you said, somebody takes a risk then all the houses copy it and that becomes the trend. You see it particularly with the whole “blue” trend and Dior started the iris craze.
Isn’t that sad!!!!!! Profit before art! 😭
Thank god we have you though Aaron😀👏. Somewhat unrelated...but are the max aroma sales of your product official to your brand? I really want to try your line but max aroma seems to be about the only American distribution however I don’t want to buy from them if it’s not gonna support your brand and your art. I would love more info so us yanks can get your creations in America.
You are the best, love your channel!!!🙂✌️
@@johnmayhew4833 Yep and we could be giving them more credit than they actually deserve. They could just be lazy.
@@AaronTerenceHughes Add laziness too lol. Designers rather wait and play copy cat than go out and release a creative product.
If a Prada fragrance excited you, i'd be worried.
I agree with you it's overpriced and the longevity is non-existing for it being a perfume it smells very much like alcohol sad to say but these brand name fragrances are starting to fail very bad they're cheap out on the ingredients
There is only one decent Prada fragrance and it's Prada Luna Rossa BLACK
Love the original edt. Fresh & clean with an elegant touch. Sadly the performance is too poor on my skin so a 6/10 for me.
Oh no another reformulation .
I'm always wondering what perfume are you wearing on yourself..
I have NEVER gotten as many compliments over a fragrance before. Strangers came up to me pretty much every week asking me what fragrance i had when used this in 2018. Its amazing
I totally agree . After long experience with fragrance I realized that most of the amazing frag they don’t get what they deserves from reviewers . Actually most of the overhyped colones they make you blind buy them then u get disappointed with a very normal scent i mean decent but not mind blowing . Prada is a very sexy and luxurious frag I have lot of niche perfumes and never got me compliments like this one . Trust your nose not the hype
How many of those compliments are from desirable women? 0
No you haven't.
Really late comment but I respectfully have to disagree. I think the fragrance is blended well and smells niche. Obviously I'm not a perfumer but the average person (like me) would never be able to tell if this specific formulation was mostly synthetic or not. I love wearing this ❤🔥
L’homme is pronounced lome like lone, but with an M. The H is silent. Just something new to learn.
:)
I cringe when people say that..also pronouncing the Ts in YSL...and Habit Rouge...AARRGH!!!!
What do you think about Gucci Guilty Absolute?
If you like those you probably don’t want him to review them 😂
Yes please review this scent
Personally I love the stuff
Yes GGA would be a good one to see him review. Its one of my favorites for colder weather along with fahrenheit and dark rebel.
I always felt the original is more attention grabbing
Smells like a leather purse with lipstick , eyeliner and a piece of old gum in the bottom. In the best way, Prada is very nice
I feel like 80% of people would hate what this guy likes, lol. Different doesn't mean good.
Thank you Aaron for calling out those frags for what they really are: profit makers, and nothing more!
Fart Zerelli ofcause. I’m trying to get you to buy value for money! I’m trying to
Get all my viewers to spend there money wisely
Um... it’s called business😒
Who the hell sells and doesn’t want profit?
@@Pudekz51790 There's nothing wrong with making a profit but lots of these houses are very greedy! Bleu de Chanel, Sauvage, both super expensive and smell so very synthetic it's disgusting.
@@fartzerelli1385 Bvlgari Aqva Atlantiqve has a very pretty natural smelling ambergris accord and it's about half the price of those.
@Chad You could say less synthetic smelling marine accord made of ambroxan and some other stuff that emulates natural ambergris. In other words, not plain synthetic metallic smelling ambroxan like in Sauvage for instance.
