Prada Prada Infusion D'Iris Eau De Parfum 100ml

Product Information

Base notes: sandalwood, musk, and Tonka beans surface in the end so that you have a lasting natural and earthy feel. Base notes give the whole formulation a scent, depth, and substance. A combination of cedar, amber, and vetiver supports and strengthens the upper and middle notes. It provides a captivating conclusion to a pleasant voyage. The fragrance is a replica of Prada Infusion d'iris and is reasonably priced. Time to write a review on this old pal. I remember sampling Infusion d'Iris the first time in 2014. It was not love at first sniff, but the smell, on paper, was very distinct: iris-y, dry, woody, very "aloof" and quite "upscale". I had no desire to own a bottle. As it progresses, it becomes very similar to the original - muted powdery iris with a soft green undertone, with some orange remaining. Soft woody notes creep in too. It fades to a powdery, musky skin scent. Sillage is initially strong but moderate overall, while longevity is moderate. This is/was another iris scent that managed to make its way to me. I got it for a super-low price, I didn't even bother testing it out.

I don't think the vetiver truly leave us all and went to somewhere. I think the ashy burst is attributed by considerably high dose of white musks blend, the nice powdery notes here with a slight trace of bergamot (provides the neroli notes more citrus and floral vibe, tho it's more beautiful in IdH), along this way, you might start notice some green-scrubbing note in the white musk flood -- folks, that's one classic vetiver idiom in cologne type formulae. The base note of vetiver smells green and astringent, is a reasonable succession of all the juicy citrus top notes. Since IdH is the clash of two generation's "clean notes": cologne type and powder-soap, I think this formulation with rename implicit that cologne thingy will relatively be suppress in this reformulation -- since not all ingredients can rise their concentration in same proportion without violating IFRA regulations. This clean, cash predominant up-close scent remains for a long time, at least 3 to 4 hours. During that time, the iris and musk continue to develop, its billowing wafts get longer and stronger... Until you are enveloped in a GORGEOUS iris bubble. Longevity is fair, I can get around 6 hours out of this but projection is very, very soft indeed. Lively enough for hot weather but almost dead if used in cold weather. I was expecting a slightly better performance from an eau de parfum (and it is labelled as an EdP), but still pretty much ok. In comparison, Infusion d'Homme was an EdT with better sillage and longevity. I always have a travel spray in my purse. I can't imagine offending anyone with it. As a perfume addict, having something this nice and politically correct with me for the emergencies is merciful to the rest of the population. Infusion d'Iris Absolue is a flanker well made; neither so different that it would seem unreasonable to share the same name nor too similar so there would be no point of being around like others. They share some basic traits but there are different perfumes altogether.Perfect for every day, work, even healthcare workers. This is something I wear when I go to the dentist, he is too nice to complain. It is an ideal fragrance for office, and one of my favorites for that purpose. To more appreciate this composition, one should have some gray hair. It even garners compliments in situations where compliments are rare. This is not mind blowing composition, but a very solid one in the Prada’s portfolio. Clean, sophisticated, professional and Italian. This perfume is truly enchanting, it reminds me of some tea fragrances that I've owned in the past. But this is where all similarity ends, as this perfume is more sophisticated and also slightly masculine. I cannot imagine seducing a man with it (unless he is a banker, haha @anilinam).

As I was showering last night - a good 12 hours after I had first applied the fragrance, a trace of the top citrus notes came alive again, as if to taunt me. It would be Prada Infusion d'homme. It was my 3rd fragrace I sniff that I fall in love after (YSL L'homme and Bvlgari Soir). The biggest effect of the increased resin content is that ABSOLUE seems less clean and airy than either the eau de parfum or the eau de toilette, and also less green. The resins start to get just a bit gunky on me in the drydown, something that never happens with any other of the INFUSIONS. In fact, my favorite part of the entire series, the original, the eau de toilette, INFUSION D'HOMME, INFUSION DE VETIVER, INFUSION DE FLEUR D'ORANGER, and INFUSION DE TUBEREUSE, is the slightly soapy or clean edge in all of them. The only one which I do not own and have not tried is INFUSION DE ROSE, which I have never seen for sale anywhere!

Ive never smelled infusion d'homme so i cant make a comparison, but if you like the original Iris infusion, then this is a good substitute. Its not as floral, but retains almost all of the original notes. At heart though, I'm more of a tomboy. Sure I love my skincare, my make-up, my fragrances, my handbags and whatnot. But I'm also a loud, sometimes obnoxious, belligerent, headstrong harridan, who loves motorbike racing, boxing, mosh pits at metal gigs and I've been in more fights than I have shoe shops. I'm also klutzy, have no sense of balance/spacial awareness, fall over at least twice a week and as a result get to regularly display more cuts, bruises and scars than anyone crazy enough to step into the ring with Joe Calzaghe. Most days I can be found wearing a hoodie, DC's and some camo trousers. Classy is not a word that comes to most people's minds when they think of me. dry down is becoming a little less iris and much less orange blossom , more resins and dark incense with a dark vanilla, and im getting a little bit of another favorite of mine chanel no 5 omg i never expected that ! just something in the more musky notes takes me that way ! now that was unexpected and is nice as i love no 5, its not heavily like it though , just a tad.

This versión is more expensive than IdH. I bought the other one for 60€/200ml (the 100ml costed 55€). Now i have paid 68€/100ml (while the 200ml costed 90€). More expensive with worse quality... I prefer infusión d'homme... :(Both are powdery but the original turns woody/incensey while Absolue has none of these traits. Instead I get sweet, warm, nutty and buttery iris. I would describe it as a softer, less spicy and more contemporary version of L'Heure Bleue. Prada definitely stripped this one down, as is often the case, reformulation means that you have a lesser perfume. 2015 lies somewhere between the original Id’I and Prada Homme (which I ultimately didn’t like, between the two.) 2015 is overall softer, has less sillage, and is less complex than the original. As for the differences between 2015 and previous 2007 version...they are very close, but this one is greener, clearer and even more cologne-like. The previous one is more balsamic, smokier and more powdery. It you prefer the original version, you might want to consider buying Infusion d'Iris Cedre, the drydown is closer. EDIT: I was trying to decipher what that beautiful almond-ish note was exactly, and then I saw the mastic note in the ingredients listed here.And I thought yes...it is similar to mastic but...it isn't quite that... but this note was so familiar...almond-ish...mastic-y... and then it hit me!The note that gives that impression and it is the main note of this perfume is the spice mahlab. If you have ever grinded mahlab seeds and tried this perfume, you know exactly what I am talking about. The mahlab seeds when grinded they become a beautiful aromatic powder that can be used in a pastry recipe that is well known here in Greece called tsoureki that we make usually in Easter.In fact, mahleb gets combined beautiful with mastic (one ingredient compliments the other in the recipe), so it is no surprise, that the mastic is referred here. However the note is definitely mahlab! I can't believe i didnt give her more of a chance:( Today it just made me feel happy. IDI absolue is almost the same as the origional edt, yes, only bolder, powderier and less soapy; its dryer than the origional and is more like a makeup sort of powder, not so much a baby powder. The lasting power is much much better also. Its lovely in cool weather but once the sun came put and i warmed up, the musk and benzoin really intensified, giving it a balmy almost smoky quality.
