Infusion d'Iris Absolue

8.3

Prada · 2012

Fresh · Floral · Green

Prada Infusion d'Iris Absolue is a powdery, creamy women's scent in which Italian iris is softened by orange blossom absolute and vanilla; it has been discontinued. The notes read as a single whole rather than as a top, heart and base. Iris sets a powdery, slightly green ground, and orange blossom adds a floral brightness to it. Bourbon vanilla, Siam benzoin and Venezuelan tonka bean sweeten the scent and give it a resinous, creamy warmth, while spicy and woody touches stay in the background. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the wearer. Most voters pick fall and spring, and daily wear, business and leisure lead the occasions. Close to half of voters call it feminine. Ormonde Jayne Ambre Royal and Diptyque Orphéon have a close profile.

The oriental structure is balanced by spicy and woody tones, with a touch of leathery dryness. Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it stands out on evenings and nights out, with some wear in spring. It is rarely chosen for summer heat. It reads masculine, between classic and modern.
