Prada La Femme Absolu

Chilli, Tolu Balsam, Immortelle, citrus, peach, vanilla and Jamaican pepper? And Broom?? Good grief! The notes here sound like something a clueless wannabe on Master Chef would throw into a dish. Andrier IS a master though, and Prada La Femme Absolu is scrumptious. Rather than an overwhelming mess, it is soft, subtle and very very feminine. I have no idea how those notes blend well together, but they do. Given the ingredients, Absolu should have had bite, with a stinging after burn, but in fact it is very pleasant. I find it more floral than gourmand or spicy. Silage is only slightly more than arm’s length but it is quite long lasting, remaining overnight. I do enjoy Absolu very much, but it doesn’t match the peerless original or the intense version. While Prada La Femme Absolu is an interesting variation, if you already own other versions of Prada La Femme, don’t get indigestion if you can’t get hold of it.

I find this fragrance hard to describe. First sprays remind me of a hot shower. Not in a soapy way at all, but in a luxurious and sexy way. I cannot figure it out, but it's reminiscent of shampoo. Perhaps it's the orange and peach notes. I wouldn't recommend for younger people as it is slightly powdery, but the chili pepper balances it out nicely. The dry down is nice, smells good, but not as interesting as the initial spray.

Beautiful amber-floral, leans a touch vintage. Sweet citrus & peach opening becomes thick orange blossoms with incense and vanilla. Warm and inviting, there's a nice pollenated effect too. I see Amarige in the "Reminds me of" section, and I have to agree, especially in the opening. Reminds me also of the OG Nicole Miller by Nicole Miller. Perfect all year, I think you can get away with this on summer evenings/nights.

Carrying the dna of an older intense aunt of Prada La Femme, this perfume packs power! Spicy with tinge of floral , which could be described as a rose or neroli, this perfume packs a punch, with a classic woodsy vanilla dry down. Classy, current, worth the price

finally Chili pepper in a fragrance again! love it, love it in Agent Provocateur and in Bruno Banani, hope to love it in this too! cant wait to try
