Prada Amber Vs Guerlain Homme EDP Episode # 462

[@luxxjourney]

Been watching your channel for a while. Ever since, I go watch back and forth for different fragrance reviewers’ channels. And evertime I go back and watch your channel, here are my thoughts / feelings: - comfortable feeling as if we visit our youngest uncle in his house. You know, a type of uncle that in age not to far older than you, and has similar interests with you with a lot more knowledge and experiences about things - a comfortable feeling of that poin #1 completed with a nice & comforting ambiance of a cozy room / house - that way, make us feel that any fragrance you suggest will likely be changing our thoughts, especially those fragrances that we might haven’t tried Or in a simple word: Like meeting an old friend in a cozy cafe after a pretty hard day of working, to talk about subject / interest that we both like.

Prada Amber Pour Homme is an absolute masterpiece!!!

[@western-oud1898]

It certainly is...I remember about five years ago my local Boots store were selling their last "about six" bottles of amber pour homme "made in Spain version" 100ml for £40 ..to this day I kick myself that I didn't snap them up because the new made in France formulations are weak and the older made in Spain formulations on ebay are now going for over £150 +...

[@baysidedlove3427]

@@western-oud1898 Absolutely!! And that's the reason I jumped at the opportunity at 70.00 per bottle!! The version I have is the purple 🟣 juice version.

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great comparison video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed day

[@siddhartha2236]

Hi sir. Prada amber pour homme is still available but sadly it's been reformulated. They have added lavender on top but the juice is so watered down. It still smells great but doesn't last at all.

[@stevedawson3082]

Thank you for your continued output. I have both. Of the two the Guerlain is my preference. It's interesting without being too out there. The Prada is soapy, clean but really doesn't offer anything else. It's very safe.

[@JayeshPatel.Nilkanth]

True I was stupid that's why I NVR grew I failed and fall

[@ACSmellsGood]

You are brave and honest and that matters a lot :)

[@donthompson2457]

AC Thank you very much for spending the time to create these videos. Your videos are not about the same 6 fragrances that are being hyped at the moment. I find the channels I like the most are yours Mark's (Robes08) and Peter (Scent Trail). Maybe I fit the demographic for you guys more I am 68 and retired in Vietnam. Based on your videos I recently picked up Guerlain Homme EDP, Sandalo and Beau Du Jour. Getting fragrances here can be a bit of a pain in the a** and middle eastern brands are not readily distributed here. I have a trip to the states coming up in a week and I have a haul there waiting for me to bring back Berry Oud Body by ASQ, French Tabacco by IAQ, Marj by Ahmed al Maghribi , Honor for Women , Chopard Happy, Chopard Spicy Electrum and quite a few more. I think the clone brands are putting pressure on the designers and even the niche brands to up their game a bit and the traditional middle eastern brands like ASQ, IAQ etc. in addition to all the newer ones like Gissah, Laverne to name just a couple seem to be gaining western popularity. If you have any suggestions for high heat and humidity please let me know. Again thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and time.

[@halwamonster]

AC's got a couple of high heat and humidity frag videos!

[@ACSmellsGood]

Thank you, and yeah I have done a few videos on fragrances fit for high humidity. The ones that really work in high humidity just off the top of my head are Gueralin Homme Leau Boisee, Timbuktu, Vetiver Sensuel by Mancera, Tom Ford Grey Vetiver, Kenzo homme EDT intense. I have reviewed all except the Mancera which I shall review very soon.

[@chrisottum]

I thoroughly enjoyed the comparison, thank you for putting it together! I'm a fan of Prada fragrances, and need to get into Guerlain.

[@ACSmellsGood]

Thank you Chris, very kind of you. That makes two of us, I am also a massive fan of Prada Fragrances.

[@SuperCarmel87]

Guerlain Homme EDP has been my favorite fresh fragrance for a long time. Absolutely love it! Haven't tried the Prada yet. Great review, thank you 😀

[@ACSmellsGood]

Good to hear :) I am hoping you get to try the Prada as well.

[@rockomax1491]

Amber pour homme, my signature scent 😗

[@paulhastie6850]

Try layering the Prada with adp Essenza. What a combo.

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed day

[@ACSmellsGood]

Thank you Michael :)

[@baysidedlove3427]

Bought 2 bottles of Prada Amber Pour Homme at the great mall in San Jose CA. 100ml bottle for 70.00 dollars so I got 2 bottles because it's such a great fragrance and I refuse to be without it!! I really feel fortunate to have stumbled on such a great deal .

[@ACSmellsGood]

I fully agree with your sentiments about Prada Amber pour homme. You are lucky to live in a lovely place like San Jose, I would like a bit of that sunshine here in the UK :)

[@baysidedlove3427]

@@ACSmellsGood Thank you sir!! The sunshine is nice but the cost of living is outrageous. Your blessed to be in the UK because of all the great fragrance houses and fashion.

[@ACSmellsGood]

@@baysidedlove3427 haha yes we are because of the reasons you mention and the greenery, but the UK is also a very expensive country to live in :).

[@josephgiuca7076]

Quickly becoming my favorite channel. Love your content and the way you convey the information. Great vid man

[@ACSmellsGood]

Thank you and very nice to hear that :)

[@millenialbroadcast]

This review is absolutely masterful. You offered great historical context and an insightful comparison of two wonderful fragrances. Outstanding content my friend!

[@ACSmellsGood]

Thank you, very nice of you to say that, and I am so glad to see you enjoy such content :).

[@millenialbroadcast]

@@ACSmellsGood - Very much so.

[@mrYodacop]

I do not know any other reviewer who takes time to appreciate and bring us details as this . ... btw I am lucky to own both frags , I never realized the similiarity until AC brought that up - and still I think they are not redundant to have both .

[@ACSmellsGood]

@@mrYodacop Thank you very much.

[@Gregor9043]

I was interested in both of these.

[@ACSmellsGood]

Good man! both are worth having :)

[@ActuallySettle]

I feel that the Guerlain is Wasser's reaction to the aquatic and blue fragrances that were popular at the time. Polo Blue, Issey, ADG, Green Irish Tweed, Missoni wave. I think he saw what they market wanted but decided to do a 'Guerlain' version, creating a cool, watery accord using natural smelling ingredients rather than ingredients with no reference to nature such as calone, or uber strong melon or citrus. As someone who likes 'cool' fragrances but dislikes the synthetic, fruity notes, Guerlain Homme was a revelation. The only other fragrance of this category I can enjoy is a very unusual one, Aramis New West, which builds a cool blue fragrance using bitter herbs not unlike yatagan, with very little sweetness. Highly recommend you try that one, it is absolutely unique.

[@cowboycrunchies]

Interesting comparison AC. Ohh it pains me when I see anyone with almost empty bottle of Prada Amber. It’s that good I liken it to an infinity stone, it just can’t be beaten! Hope you manage to score some more backup bottles!

[@ACSmellsGood]

It pains me too , and I will get a bottle soon lolz. you are right, Prada Amber can not be beaten :)

[@FragranceGuru]

Another frag i want to put in the same category is Boucheron Jaipur Pour homme.

[@ACSmellsGood]

yes indeed, very apt company :)

[@destryo3287]

I've been mostly silent on your channel. Thank you for highlighting fragrances not all the (sellout) perfume reviewers are talking about. The Guerlain is certainly amazing and if you would put it into a XerJoff bottle it would be a hit 😂

[@ACSmellsGood]

Thank you for commenting, I couldn't agree more. I love both and I hope someone steals your idea :)

[@halwamonster]

The Sultan of Swindon is back!! Great review! I got a sample of the Prada and full bottle of the Guerlain, prefer the later even though performance is patchy. Heck my wife stuck with me inspite of the performance so why should I let go of the Guerlain 😂. Now for some Swindon trivia: The British actress from Lagaan (2001) Rachel Shelley is a Swindon native. Keep up the great work champ! Great shirt btw!

[@ACSmellsGood]

hahah you are at it again. I did not know that about Rachel Shelley, so that's a lot for that wonderful information. The most famous one is Diana Dors.

[@halwamonster]

​@@ACSmellsGood would you consider doing an episode on female frags that men should try/wear. I'm thinking of some amouages right off the bat...ur fav Shalimar ofcourse!

[@ACSmellsGood]

@@halwamonster you must be reading my mind Lolz. I have got a few lined up. Also, do have a look on my channel, I have reviewed quite a few women's fragrances and I have done a couple of lists as well.

[@alsmith5404]

A.C!!! As always I appreciate the video. I'm inclined to purchase a back up of the Amber homme, one of my favorites!!

[@ACSmellsGood]

Thank you. Talking about backup bottles I need to get one too :)

[@DedekMartin]

Darn it, AC! Now I have to buy both.

[@ACSmellsGood]

hahah, well I am sure you will enjoy both.

[@mohsinchoudhury85]

would love to see more of these videos. 👍🏾

[@ACSmellsGood]

No problems, I like to do these sort of videos myself :)

[@Undone545]

Tough one for me i think prada amber is fantastic i should've pulled the trigger when there were bottles going for 35 quid. I have the darker bottled amber. But the mojitoness of the guerlain i really like to the point it was one of the first fragrances i finished a bottle of. Only thing guerlains dont last long on my skin. The prada performs much better

[@manbirsingh9586]

Hello AC, tried Prada and loved it, sadly did not pull the trigger, regret it, Guerlain has some great scent profiles but do not last on my skin and are getting absurdly expensive here, Great video nevertheless 🔥💎👍🏻👍🏻

[@ACSmellsGood]

Well lets hope you get a great deal :)

[@manbirsingh9586]

​@@ACSmellsGood 🔥🙏🏻👍🏻

[@maidenaholic]

What would you say is the closest perfume that smells like prada amber? I've only one bottle left of prada

[@GUUCCY]

What are your thoughts on the new bvlgari pour homme eau de parfum?

[@ACSmellsGood]

I haven't had a chance to try it yet, I quite enjoyed the tea note in the original and the extreme so I am looking forward to sampling it. Have you tried it? What do you think?

[@GUUCCY]

@@ACSmellsGood I've enjoyed the note of tea in other fragrances, but since this release is so new I have yet to find a sample of it anywhere

[@western-oud1898]

L'Oréal were making Prada amber pour homme but its no longer the "made in spain" version its now the "made in france" and its not very good they've totally ruined it..L'Oréal is where prefumes go to die..L'Oréal take over a company and then ruin all their good fragrances

[@paulhastie6850]

Emmm no. I own both versions. They smell exactly the same. Lilial was removed, hence the change in colour from purple to grey, due to being banned, but they smell the same.

[@western-oud1898]

@@paulhastie6850 ..nowhere did I mention they didn’t smell the same..the difference was the how weak the L’Oréal formulation was and much more transparent and lighter..maybe the formulation you have they’ve made better and more like the original formulation

[@paulhastie6850]

​​@@western-oud1898This is a common misconception. Apart from the colour of the liquid, the Spanish and French variants are identical in every respect; it is exactly the same product. Sillage, longevity & the scent are exactly the same between the 2.

[@ΓερασιμοςΓατσωρης]

I prefer guerlain little bit more!
