Prada L'Homme L'Eau

Mostly soft and dusty, somewhere between face powder and clean laundry. Underneath that, cool, powdery and slightly rooty, closer to makeup than to a flower.

It opens on neroli and ginger, moves through iris and amber, and settles on powdery notes, sandalwood and cedar.

• neroli: the bright, just-squeezed side of orange blossom: green, clean and faintly bitter
• ginger: sharp and fresh with a peppery bite, closer to the raw root than to gingerbread

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
