Avant Garde

Edit (Dec 2025): This is closer to Prada L'homme Absolu (2018)! Spicier opening. Perhaps Absolu was the inspiration for this. Prada L'homme Absolu Top notes are Cardamom, Green Mandarin, Black Pepper and Bergamot; middle notes are iris, Geranium and Neroli; base notes are Amber, Labdanum and Cedar. Regardless, it is an absolute banger.. my office go-to. --- Great value for money, if you can find/buy one! RiiFFs Avant Garde is so good that I bought 3 bottles! As with most ME (Dubai produced) fragrances, you have to let it mature/maturate over time. My opened bottle has become much stronger over time. Very very similar (~85%) to Prada L'homme EDT, but it is a bit sweeter in the dry down (akin to Prada L'homme Intense; due to the amber note). Suitable for all seasons.. anywhere/anytime, but I prefer fresher citrus frags on really hot summer days. If you want a spicier (red pepper + cardamom) version of the original EDT, this is it! Notes: Top: Neroli, Lemon/Bergamont, Pink pepper, Cardamom Mid: Geranium, Orris, Violet Base: Cedarwood, Patchouli, Amber, Sandalwood !!! Caution !!! You have to like powdery fragrances containing Iris/Orris to like this fragrance. The iris in RiiFFs Avant Garde is the fresh/clean iris and not the DHI (old lady lipstick-y) type. Sprays: I only spray on clothes, 3 times. Any more than 4 sprays may give you a headache - it is really strong! Longevity: 6-7 hours on skin; 9-10 hours on clothes Overall: 8.5/10 Value for money: 10/10 FYI - RiiFFs Avant Garde YT Reviews https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QC8TYSc9rk&t=400s https://www.youtube.com/shorts/zQG1bmmvoYU https://www.youtube.com/shorts/DxWHZzr_g3U https://www.youtube.com/shorts/F7ZH6FCDti8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYf5dUi0_y4&t=18s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WukuI8eu1w&t=59s --------- If you're looking for other office-safe fragrance dupes, here are some others to consider: * Khadlaj Shiyaaka Silver for Men (with red label/badge) - inspired by "Reflection Man" * Oud Kalakas King Intense - inspired by Prada L'homme Intense * Rasasi It's Essential - inspired by YSL L'homme Ultime and LV Imagination * FW Red Moon Marine - inspired by Luna Rossa Ocean EDT * Zimaya Abadi Opulent - inspired by YSL L'Elixir

نعم هو شبيه لعطر برادا لوم لكن نسبة التطابق لاتفوق 70 بالمائة ، في القاعدة يصبح عطر عنبري صابوني ، العطر يعيبه الأداء

if this one is similar to prada l'homme, then I'm very happy that I haven’t and will never buy it in my life. Unpleasent smell to my nose.

Opening is amazing, even better than the original l homme edt, because it is more soapy and bright what I love. But the problem is dry down, it is almost no soapy and has some skanky/dusty “dark” aspects to it. Still to me it is better than Evoke Gold because that one is even less brighter in the opening as well in the drydown
