A.....smell?
I'm disappointed, I started to wonder if maybe the brand's sample vial I got had gone wrong.

The scent is a jasmine/white floral and maybe a little of coconut fragrance.

Who exactly was their target audience? It's an odd, unnecessary smell.

It has a good projection and longevity but who really wants this to stick around?

Foolishly, I wore it to work with not much prior experience wearing it, it's a letdown, borderline scrub off worthy.

Bitter Orange, Rhubarb, Amaretto, Piney Woods
I wrote a statement earlier but had to return and give an update on my first full wearing.

Yes, there is bitter orange throughout while rhubarb is in the background.

Not until the 6th hour do I finally make out the fir balsam and the liqueur, amaretto. It may come across as a little sweet to some, it did to me but getting a whiff of balsam sure made up for it

Plenty of sillage and staying power.

I like the hemp note but it's surrounded by an overly sweet note that drowns it out after an hour.

This is WAY TOO sugary, Carolina Herrera had great success with other fragrances like CH for Men that are sweet but they were balanced by smart, mature notes.

This reminds me of teen girl scents or the novelty cartoon character perfumery.

I'm guessing that this scent is aiming to win over the Paco Rabanne 1 Million and Invictus crowd.

Very strong sillage but certainly not for me.

Scent
Early 20th Century
When I look up the notes of early fragrance, men's and women's, I see oakmoss come up often.

I'm guessing this fragrance is what very early men's fragrances may have smelled like, OAKMOSS-Y, the real stuff and plenty of it.

To me, this is a man's aroma, straight forward, maybe astringent, biting. It sure isn't fruity, gourmandish, citrus and or aquatic.

People mention it's lofty price point, the only defense I can offer is that this might contain real oakmoss though I don't know if that's still legal or acceptable?

All I smell for the first 6 hours or so is oakmoss and bay leaf, not till hours later does it settle down to some patchouli and maybe a woodsy note.

Definitely for warmer weather but not a clear 'summer scent'.
If I had to choose between this and Dior's Homme Eau I'd pick Dior. This Prada has the signature powdery aspect. If you choose this as an office scent or a more formal summer party then this would do well, not a monster that arrives before you.
