Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Amber EDT
This is Prada's clean signature taken to luxurious new heights. It's an undisputed classic, offering an elegant interpretation of 'soapy' that's been widely loved for decades, despite some drama around reformulations.
Acquired
Our Verdict - PD185 Amber Pour Homme EDP
Reviewers describe the original Amber Pour Homme's soapy, expensive-hotel character as one of Prada's most distinctive men's formulas, and PD185 gets the powdery-amber warmth broadly right, just with a simpler, less layered labdanum-saffron drydown.

Date

Its clean, inoffensive, soapy character makes it ideal for the office or casual wear. While it's sophisticated enough for formal events and can work for dates, its moderate projection keeps it from being a powerhouse for those occasions. It's generally too refined for sport.
