Let me tell you about L’Homme Water Splash from Prada, a flanker in the L’Homme series, and a summer version of the original. For me, Prada has always been that fragrance brand that makes very good, but unspectacular perfumes. At first, I might find them a bit boring, but after wearing them a few times, they grow on me. Nowadays, when I can’t decide which scent to wear, I sometimes reach for this one. So let’s dive into the details of Water Splash.
Quick Facts:
- Scent Profile: fresh, floral
- Season: summer
- Longevity: short
- Occasion: office
- Price: $
Smell:
In a nutshell, Prada’s L’Homme Water Splash smells clean – like freshly washed laundry. It’s fresh, slightly powdery, and has some minor iris notes. You can easily recognize the scent profile of the original L’Homme, but fine-tuned towards summer, making it even fresher, cleaner, with less iris and sweetness. This one’s perfect for a serious, down-to-earth guy who just wants to smell fresh and clean. I often joke around with my family, calling it the “public officer fragrance.”
Longevity:
As the name “Water Splash” suggests, the fragrance is quite watery, and you wouldn’t expect it to last long. But, to my surprise, I get a solid 4 hours out of it before I need to reapply. One great thing is that you really don’t have to worry about the number of sprays you apply. The scent profile is so clean and fresh that it’s impossible to dislike, so you’ll never feel like you’ve applied too much.

Final Thoughts:
L’Homme Water Splash is a fantastic fresh version of the original Prada L’Homme, perfect for summer. I actually like it even better than the original since I prefer my fragrances fresh. It’s a great office or leisure time fragrance for all climates, except maybe the coldest of days. It used to come in a big 150ml bottle for a very affordable price, making it one of the best cheap men’s fragrances out there.
Now, I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news: L’Homme Water Splash has been discontinued. But the good news: Prada’s L’Homme L’Eau is almost the same scent and still available. So, I’ll share the link to L’Homme L’Eau below for those interested in a similar experience.
