Prada La Femme Water Splash

This is the exact same fragrance as Prada la femme l’eau by the way ( pink label ) Just comes in a larger bottle ,round with a different label. Slightly different marketing here . ( rumor has it that mandarin oil was added to L’ eau to come up with water splash. ) Prada fragrances are usually just a cut above most other designer fragrances. They are consistently high quality and beautifully created with outstanding quality. It might be because they consistently work with the same perfumer , Daniella Andrier , who is faboulous , but also they have a distinct style and never seem to disappoint. Prada La femme water splash is no exception ,it’s high quality ,fresh and sparkly ,starts with juicy sweet mandarin accord amd crispy green nuances. It’s very clean and fresh and feminine with a white floral bang like the original but greener and fresher somewhat “lotion like “The fragrance is almost solar ,it’s very weightless and airy yet has great staying power. Prada is probably my favourite designer house , they know how to create perfume! I copied and pasted my prada L’eau reviews here ,as it is the same fragrance. Bottle is very heavy here ,the label goes all around and the bottle is not a “ half “bottle but fully round. I do prefer the packaging on the prada la femme l,eau but this is also nice.

To me this is very fresh due to the lily of the valley and the green accord at the base. Reminds me somewhat of Clinique Happy. Interestingly, although to me it instantly evokes summer, I don't read it as a 'light' scent. It has quite a bit of body. Longevity is decent - I got about 4-5 hours. I think this one might be going on my wish list for this summer. It's different enough from most of my 'freshies' to justify a purchase. Edit - 7/11/23 My kids just presented this to me as a birthday present. Happy birthday to me indeed!

I confess that I bought both Prada La Femme and L'Homme Water Splash mostly drawn by the packaging and by a very good bargain that I found online. I had tried both in person only once and liked them both for different reasons. I don't own Prada La Femme/L'Homme l'Eau but I have tested both and they do seem very similar to the Water Splash versions to my nose. I am currently wearing La Femme WS and I really like it. It's an uncomplicated, happy, floral fragrance, with distinct but not cloying frangipani & mandarin notes, fresh and green. I think it would be perfect for a sunny spring day and best suited for a young woman (25-45). It has moderate sillage for maybe 1/2hrs and then lasts for many hours as a pleasant skin smell. And the 150ml bottle is fabulous!

Fresh and softly sweet. A pretty and feminine perfume for spring and summer. Reminds me of the original, but this one is more wearable. It is a bit more mature than Prada la Femme L’Eau, but it is still young. It is not really unique, but is different enough to be someone’s signature. Try it if you’re looking for an elegant and relaxing summer fragrance. Final note:8/10

This scent reminds me of a wealthy middle aged woman with great taste. It is, admittedly, a “perfume shop” scent, but I think he mandarin gives it a fun kick. Oddly enough, I think this would make a very classy-smelling linen spray. The florals cut above the other notes after a bit and present a sort of magnolia-forward scent, and it becomes a bit boring. I just don’t ever see myself reaching for it. A+ packaging.
