Adding to the positive reviews, it’s a good perfume for those who prefer soft scents that are still noticeable. I like it; it smells of freshness and cleanliness, without smelling like detergent. It’s absolutely that: iris coupled with well-balanced notes, feminine, without crossing into being overpowering. Perfect, user-friendly. I love it.
As YouTuber Kari Dil says, this perfume could never go wrong. A subtle, linear scent with a super-clean iris, slightly incense-like, more woody when dry and lightly resinous. I love it, even though I’m usually a wearer of atomic bombs… But it’s perfect when you want to give your olfactory system a breather. It’s the fragrance I’ve repurchased most, about five times… a real all-rounder. Clean yes, but I swear it doesn’t smell like soap, perhaps that’s why I like it and find it different. Surprisingly, it has good fixation, even if the trail is short, but it’s fine as it is. I don’t ask for more because I understand its purpose. Discreet but present. Worth the price. I love the bottle. I remember first trying it on 18 September 2008 in Andorra la Vella; I was 18 and took it without a second thought. I recall it took at least a year to see it in shops in my city, and I remember my friends, who at the time wore Light Blue or Carolina Herrera, didn’t like it at all, but I was drooling… over my Prada infusion. Now times have changed.
I bought it blind and I love it. My six-year-old daughter asks me to wear it before bed; the first time she smelled it, she said it gave her ‘sleep’. I’d say it’s very relaxing. A rich fragrance that I hope they don’t discontinue.
A delicate, feminine and soft perfume, very powdery. Rich; on my skin, the white floral notes dominate and the iris is very noticeable. Yet it’s not powdery to the point of being overwhelming. It’s very well balanced. A beautiful perfume.
As the name suggests, it’s a soft infusion of iris, nothing overpowering. A wearable floral for everyday life, with a good trail and medium longevity. Perfect for sunny spring mornings.
A friendly fragrance because no one should dislike it. It’s light, soft, tender and silky… imagine a fairy skipping through the clouds while her delicate feet brush against iris petals.
A lovely, romantic and feminine fragrance. At first, you catch the orange and mandarin, then a sweetened, powdery iris reveals itself. The trail is weak, but it’s a pleasure to smell it on your arm, to feel and enjoy it. I consider it perfect for a date when there’s already trust and you can stay close to savour the scent.
A clean, powdery classic. No one handles iris better than Prada. Absolutely elegant, ideal for formal events and work. It’s wearable all year round, though I reserve it for spring and summer. A perfumery classic, Prada’s most famous scent for women.
Sweet and powdery Iris, a recognisable classic. It smells clean and classy, though after trying several decants, I don’t feel it’s for me. The trail is moderate and lasts 5-6 hours. I’m surprised so many people compare it to Chanel 19 Poudrée, which I adore, because to me it only shares the powdery touch. Chanel is less sweet and has that delicious green note that I love. Scent 6/10, longevity 5.5/10, trail 7/10, value for money 5/10, versatility 8/10, packaging 8/10. Would I buy it again? No.
Delicious, refined and elegant Iris. By definition, it’s a unisex scent. It’s that fragrance that never fails, easy to wear in any season. The longevity and projection aren’t spectacular, but how refined and tasteful it is… a genuine pleasure. If you’re thinking of buying it blind, go for it; it won’t disappoint.
Mmmmmm, Mmmmmm, and Mmmmmm, as @Taurien said: it smells clean and classy, delicious, ideal for those moments—well, you know, just enjoying a good afternoon tea.
Could anyone tell me if this is a youthful fragrance? I rely on YouTube reviews and love reading comments here; most say it’s very pleasant. I’m not familiar with the scent of iris, but from what I read, it seems reserved, which is my style. However, I’d like to know if it’s worth ordering a decant (as they don’t sell them that way in my country) to see how it goes. Thanks.
Elianaod, it’s the iris and violet that give that powdery scent. It’s a soft, clean fragrance. I don’t think it would bother anyone. If you enjoy soft, powdery, personal scents with a warm base, you’ll love it. It’s unisex.
I prefer the 2015 formulation as it lacks frankincense and feels fresher to me. It’s my comfort scent for staying at home. Wearing it simply relaxes me, but for now, I can’t see myself going out in it as it doesn’t quite suit my daytime vibe.
Like most, I’ve discussed the similarity to Chanel No. 19 Poudre, so here’s my take on both. On paper, they seem alike, but in reality, the differences are striking: Chanel comes across as greener and more astringent, whereas Prada is tender, slightly sweet, and creamy. The galbanum in Chanel lends that enduring green character; in Prada, it’s a ‘pastel green’—less intense and much kinder. The iris, the star of both, provides that talc-like touch, while the other flowers fade into the background. Both release a beautiful vetiver when dry, though I detect it more strongly in Prada, while Chanel finishes more soapy. The sweetness makes the green wearable. Perhaps Prada is a touch sweeter, but it’s not a sweet floral. In terms of projection, Chanel is more imposing at first, but once dried, both are remarkably similar: excellent longevity (over 8 hours) but low projection, almost skin-scented. For me, both evoke peace, and I choose them interchangeably; they are works of art. For lovers of green and bold scents, go for Poudre; if you dislike green, choose Infusion d’Iris. Both possess a talc-like character, so enjoying such aromas is a prerequisite.
I absolutely loved this perfume; I think everything has already been said. I’ll just add that this was a limited edition, no longer sold, and relaunched in 2015 reformulated. I realised I had bought the new 2015 version, the only one available now. I hadn’t purchased it for years and didn’t realise they had changed it – what a disaster! I can no longer detect the bergamot, vetiver, galbanum or frankincense that made it rich, complex and with that intensity I loved so much. The current version is boring, dull, cloying and even rancid. I don’t understand why they destroyed a 2008 Fifi Award winner; now it’s just a cologne, performs terribly, has no sillage and lasts less than two hours. It doesn’t matter how much you shower with it, you get nothing out of it. I don’t get the hype because it’s a ‘Prada’ and because the 2007 version was nice; otherwise, it would have gone unnoticed. It has none of the elegance; it’s for staying at home or taking the dog out. It lacks charm, personality and bite. I can’t see myself dressed up in this; it doesn’t accompany. The name suits it perfectly: Iris Infusion – that’s exactly it, a watery infusion sweetened with neroli and mandarin. Even if I carried the bottle around to reapply every half hour, I wouldn’t gain any presence. I prefer versions like the 2007, elegant and with presence, such as Jacomo Silences or Chanel n°19 Poudré. This is just water – what a rip-off! I feel I wasted my money. When I like a perfume and they discontinue or reformulate it, there’s no way they stay still; now they only release flankers to withdraw them after four days, and I understand it less and less.
Absolutely not… it smells like someone over 70, a vintage scent that’s nothing new.
For women: one of my favourites among my 150 perfumes, with brands like Clive Christian or Byredo in between. It’s clean, with a powdery creaminess that doesn’t irritate, subtle and lovely. Ideal for spring, summer, or for wearing at home all year round; there’s rarely a day I don’t put it on after a shower. It doesn’t project much or leave a trail, but it doesn’t seek to either. The perfect perfume for aromatherapy. Nothing sensual, sexual or mysterious… but unique for its natural ingredients and for working with iris like no one else. It would be among my three signature scents always.
Smells elegant and lovely, bringing back memories of the 1940s with those tight dresses, corsets, powder and white wigs. If I like this perfume,
Has anyone tried the Essential Waters: Sweet Calm by Victorio & Lucchino? The dry-down is identical and they cost 250ml for 15 pesos.
A fragrance with very limited sillage and scarce longevity. To smell it, you have to have your nose right against the skin. From the start it smells like ‘after a visit to the theatre’: you take off the cloak and the dress and there remains that smell of glamour and a classy venue, but what remains here… by no means deserves its price.
On my skin it smells powdery, with a strong opening of iris and mandarin. As it dries, there is a smoky and waxy note, but not the typical burnt smell, rather a subtle incense like the smoke from a diffuser. Then the green notes stand out: galbanum, vetiver and cedar. Curiously, it lasted more than 7 hours with bursts of projection. I consider it a feminine unisex fragrance to wear as a signature, adaptable to informal or formal situations due to its sober elegance. Given its similarity to Chanel 19 (although this one is rougher), I think it shines in the shoulder seasons, although it works in winter and summer. Despite it not being my style, I found it gorgeous: I had never heard that the combination of incense and juniper was so soothing, nor that a fragrance could be both feminine and masculine at the same time. I was surprised, so I highly recommend trying it. Pleasantness: 10/10, Interesting: 10/10, Versatile: 8/10, Original: 8/10.
I smelled it on a relative this summer in Madrid and was left with a wonderful impression. It smelled clean without being childish; the wood settled, giving it an elegant touch for everyday wear, which I loved after years without fragrances that didn’t smell like a party. It doesn’t last long, perhaps two hours, but enough for me. I, being from the north, bought it months later, obsessed. Here, after an hour, it smells of green, moss and rain, so much so that it can be dizzying with the humidity. I don’t know if perfumes change according to the climate zone, but here in the north it is impossible to wear, at least in autumn and winter.
It really smells clean. On my skin it is powdery with a base of incense, lasting about 3 hours. I must understand it is for intimate and relaxed moments, where you don’t want to project or steal glances, but keep it private and enjoy it yourself.
I used it little and loved it, but I had to stop wearing it because it didn’t suit my personality, as happened with others that fascinated me (Prada Candy, Light Blue, Amarige…) but eventually ended up off my list. They become time capsules, moments that now seem impossible to relive. I remember it as original, nothing I had tried before. It has a nostalgic, sleepy, luminous and tender point, like a white radiance with that radiant, light iris. It brings to mind protagonists from Burne-Jones or Rossetti paintings, modernised. An intimate, clean and discreet pleasure. For me, it’s a discovery, very beautiful. I would like to try it again for a couple of days.
Alongside Teint de Neige by Lorenzo Villoresi, it is the quintessential powder scent, perhaps the king of the category for being more accessible. Do not misunderstand me: they are different. Teint de Neige is an ode to musk, with personality and a touch of dirt; Infusion d’Iris distils cleanliness and innocence. Here, iris is king, powdery and creamy, balanced by a light green note of galbanum and a subtle incense. The downside is the performance: a soft sillage and a longevity of about 3 hours. If it lasted longer, I would buy it without hesitation. Scent 7/10, Longevity 3/10, Sillage 6/10, Value for money 4/10, Versatility 6/10, Packaging 7/10. Would I buy it again? I didn’t.
In my opinion, it’s the most beautiful clean scent I know. I always say it should be subsidised so people could smell like this on the street. It’s been my signature for years and I’ll keep buying it as long as it’s available. Simply wonderful!
It is an extremely elegant fragrance and perfectly unisex.
It starts citrusy, with green notes after 15 minutes, and finishes sweet on the skin. I was surprised because, although it’s fresh, I didn’t expect that final fusion. The longevity is non-existent… the brands are pulling our legs; it barely lasts 4 hours. I wouldn’t recommend it; there are mists for €2.99 that last longer. It’s harmonious, but not worth it. PADRA NEEDS TO GET ITS ACT TOGETHER!!!!!
I love it; it’s perfect for everyday wear: persistent yet not overpowering, clean and classy. It’s a beautiful iris fragrance that never gets tiring, ideal for wearing all the time. ❤❤❤
Strangely maternal (and I don’t recall my mother ever smelling like this). It evokes something melancholic and retro. A clean, soft, and vintage scent. I like it and understand why it generates so much discussion, even though it isn’t for me. It is very curious what feelings it has stirred in me.
No one handles iris quite like Prada. It is the definitive clean and powdery perfume. For me, it is completely unisex. It has class and presence. The lasting power is moderate, making it an excellent choice for spring. It possesses class and elegance for formal settings, ideal for going to work.
A very well-made perfume, featuring a realistic and deep iris, hyper powdery. Someone asked if it is a youthful scent; no, I don’t find it youthful. It is too well-made, serious, and smells clean and floral. I usually don’t assign ages to perfumes, but I would say suitable for those aged 26 and above. The projection is very potent initially, but it settles quickly and lingers as a short trail on the skin. It remains a deep and beautiful aroma, showing no change from application until it fades. Lasting power is approximately 6 hours.
I disagree with the claim that it is very similar to ‘Infusion d’Iris Cèdre’ or ‘Infusion d’Homme’, as I barely notice any resemblance to that exquisite iris from Prada. Infusion d’Iris is citrusy and bright, with a very well-crafted neroli. Unlike the other two, which are discreet and powdery.
Smells like nappies, what a shame as it looked so promising.
Very soft and light, tremendously powdery on my skin with a slight mandarin scent at first, then the iris in all its glory. More for enjoying yourself than for others, it doesn’t have much sillage, only in the first few hours, afterwards only you can smell it. I find it even unisex; I think a man could wear it without issue, it should look good on male skin too.
It has a very personal aroma, not suitable for every taste. I love the top notes but there’s a base note I don’t like, like earth, I’m not sure which one it is. Reading comments I found one I think hit the nail on the head: ‘Evocative of something melancholic and retro. Clean, soft and vintage’ by Annie6. I don’t like to say I don’t like a perfume because, in my view, all perfumes are fascinating scents. But I wouldn’t buy it.
It’s clean, elegant and so discreet it seems to ask permission to stay on your skin. The iris isn’t powdery or granny-floral: it’s a cool, metallic stroke, like the scent of opening an empty brass biscuit tin containing only family photos. There’s a hint of orange blossom, light wood and expensive soap that’s never used. It doesn’t seek to excite or impress. No dramatic twists or notes fighting for attention. Just a polished sense of order and quiet distinction. If you’re looking for fireworks, here there is silence, and if you know how to enjoy it, you’re probably already where you needed to be.
Stupid question: has it been reformulated? I’ve smelled it again and it’s not even a shadow of what it was. Please tell me I’m anosmic and the problem is mine, that I’m losing my mind if they change this 🥴
This is the perfume that has earned me the most compliments. I tried it on a free sample and fell in love at first sniff, although as a teenager I couldn’t afford the price. Until I grew up and finally managed to buy it. It’s a beautiful iris, clean and with a unisex vibe, blended with woods, resins and citrus. It has good longevity and sillage.
