About this deal

The warmth continues with only a hint of sweet, in the vanilla sugar powder and woods. Plus soft musk to further the powder theme.... The whole affair is very plush... Velour! I have worn this on and off for nearly 10 years, and if I had to choose a signature scent for the rest of my days, this would undoubtedly be it. Infusion D'iris starts off with what its name promises: a cloud of fairly dry (although not the dryest of dry, I will give that crown to Chanel No. 19) iris that is bedded on pleasant, non-citric greens. I clearly smelled the galbanum, but there was something else that is hard to describe. I'm pretty sure it wasn't the neroli - in fact, I didn't get much of it on my skin. My guess is that maybe it was the mastic, because it had a pungent green quality that reminded me of juniper.

Lingers on my skin for more than 10 hours but after the first few hours, it's already barely detectable by the people around you. A very low-key scent. Leaves a fleeting trail, noticeable but not overwhelming. Infusion d’Iris fragrance from Prada was presented in 2007 as Eau de Parfum. The name of the fragrance is inspired by the traditional method of extracting iris fragrance that takes six months to complete. The lighter and more affordable version of the original was launched in 2010 in the form of Infusion d `Iris Eau de Toilette. In March 2012, the more intense, richer and more oriental edition comes out under the name of Infusion d'Iris Eau de Parfum Absolue. also a tad too old fashioned perhaps... the velour powder puff association doesn't leave my head either. A brand new puff that still has the new car smell, smothered in various scented powders. But the best part is how it behaves. It starts like a cologne. Dear fellow Americans, colognes are type of perfumes, not ALL perfumy stuff for men. Forgive me for the interruption. So, it starts zesty and juicy and zingy and with time it transforms into this delightful slightly smoky, balmy, woody, powdery iris and orris. Very subtle, refined and incredibly close to skin. It stays for quite some time, but it's so intimate and comfortable that it's easy to get use to it.Stays close to the skin and seems to last less than the original or I get this impression because it could be mistaken for a skin scent after a certain point and that's not the case with the first EDP. I don't get the same clarity in the transition of notes here, the lines are blurred and the whole composition seems more compact.

It may be dark, but it's not loud--it does not wear like an "Absolue" for those that think it will be stronger than the original, think again--it wears next to the skin, but has excellent longevity. For all its woody incense musky darkness, it is a perfectly safe scent--it's not really daring at all. This fragrance seems to make me imagine being in a beautiful old house in the country, going outside on a crisp chilly morning and smelling the frosty dew on the grass. Its a cold scent..and serious, almost too serious. But it has a certain uniqueness to it that i just cant help but fall in love with. 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. Now... as we all SHOULD know, a higher base percentage is less dilute and consists of larger molecules overall, with the more [smaller moleculed]volatile elements evaporating faster. this is why eau de toilette will always smell ‘fresher’ or more crisp to your nose... whereas a stronger eau de perfume or perfume will be ‘smoother’ on the senses. The synth iris reminds me of the iris used in the more recent Misia, (so I do understand the Chanel references from fellow sniffers), as well as the iris in Lolita en Blanc (a violet iris again) - and a certain resemblance to the original Infusion D'Iris, with that makeup inside a new Prada handbag sensation.

As an iris lover, I was keen to try Infusion d'Iris, and bought a miniature of the original 2007 version. It is a very light, soapy scent with disappointing longevity, but is pleasant and easy to wear. As many reviewers before me have mentioned, it smells like Johnson's Baby products - powdery, softly sweet and comforting, yet not what I look for in a perfume. There are shades of Chanel No. 19 Poudré here too, but I find that Infusion is less sophisticated.

It is a spicy amber perfume for women, created in 1998. The eau de toilette formula keeps the scent strong but not overpowering. It is the best balance of concentration and quality that makes it fit for our category of dupes of Prada infusion d'iris. Those that are tired of all the popular jam-like sweet playful girly perfumery that is flooding the modern market.Not that they smell the same, nor do they share the same notes or anything like that, but this scent shares the same mood as Versence and, to a lesser extent, Kenzo's L'Eau Peau (I think that's what it's called). This Dsquared2 perfume is light, clean, and perfect for the office or other small spaces. It won't offend anyone and has a calming, stress-relieving aspect. It has a smoky cedar base with a hint of citrus and a bright watery violet aroma. The cedar and vetiver give it a woody and earthy tone similar tothe Prada infusion d'iris clone. A fragranced velour powder puff that is. Fully loaded. Very richly powdered, I can actually smell different and multiple powders and grades so it s fantastically luxurious! Ie powdery iris, vanilla confectioners' sugar, powdery resins
