About Prada Intense EDP

How far Intense spreads
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Stephane Humbert Lucas 777 Taklamakan and Montale Paris Aoud Musk spread further.
For work or for evenings
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its amber side feels cosy and rich after dark.
