Prada Infusion D'Iris Eau de Parfum

Prada Infusion D’Iris, originally launched as an Eau de Parfum in 2007, quickly established itself as a modern classic defined by its paradoxical nature: simultaneously fresh, clean, and deeply luxurious. The creation is rooted in the traditional, time-intensive method of extracting the iris fragrance, a process that requires six months to complete. This dedication to craft ensures that the resulting scent captures the true, complex essence of the Florentine iris root, providing a rich, powdery, and slightly earthy opening that sets it apart from typical floral perfumes.

This sophisticated composition, signed by renowned perfumer Daniela Andrier, blends the precious iris with exotic Tunisian neroli and vibrant orange blossom, providing an initial burst of freshness. The heart and base notes introduce a warmer, more oriental depth, featuring mastic, benzoin from Laos, tonka bean from Venezuela, and rich Madagascar vanilla, all softened by white musk. This blend achieves a unique balance, offering a scent profile that is often described as 'clean luxury' or 'a rich, expensive soap,' making it incredibly versatile and highly memorable.

Infusion D'Iris is designed for the discerning individual who appreciates subtle elegance over overt loudness. As an Eau de Parfum, it delivers excellent longevity, typically lasting throughout the workday with moderate projection, ensuring it is noticeable yet never overpowering. It is an ideal signature scent for professional environments, formal occasions, or any setting where a sophisticated, understated confidence is desired. The fragrance is presented in elegant, often gold-accented bottles, reinforcing the theme of preciousness and timeless quality.

While the original EDP is celebrated for its balance, subsequent interpretations, such as the more intense Infusion d'Iris Eau de Parfum Absolue, offered richer, more resinous facets for those seeking deeper complexity. Regardless of the concentration, the core DNA remains the luxurious, clean iris—a testament to Prada’s commitment to high-quality, enduring fragrance.
