I must say You Must let this fragrance Grow on you! It takes time for it to develop on my skin, but when it does, It is the most heavenly, slightly floral, soapy/cleanliness smell I have ever rubbed my nose on. I love this and Yes You do have to wear a lot of it, I think that is why the bottles are so huge! They intended 20 spritzes a day. Love it! Give it enough time, don't write it off. took hours to develop on my skin.. again Love it..

I love this perfume so much I spray it on at home for all kinds of reasons; to relax, to cheer myself up, to feel sensual. It's intimate in a different way - not seductive or cloying. I suspect some men might find it a little old fashioned and it does have a whiff of yesteryear.

I love the smell of fragrant irises in real life - it's a fresh but soft and complex aroma - really dreamy. This scent captures it, but earths it with orris root and resins. It smells incensey, heady - and reminds me of a walk I take in the Scottish Highlands in June - up a fir lined river valley when the rhodedendrons are blooming.

My only observation would be that this isn't particularly sexy - one for romance rather than seduction - not a bad thing at all!

I thoroughly enjoyed trying this scent at the counter. It had caught my eye. It's a fresh, clean scent with a hint of sweetness (which I look for in many scents nowadays). It's not over the top fresh and clean like some other summer fragrances (which I think is because of the iris notes), but I would definitely wear it during the summer. I can sense the citric flavor of the perfume, but what I think makes it really lovely are the incense and cedar. When I think of incense, I think smokey, but it wasn't THAT kind of smokey to me. It just had a sexy flavor to it BECAUSE of the incense. It was still bright, just not overly bright. I don't think of this as a wake-me-up scent, but it definitely picks-me-up because of it's sheer brightness and somewhat warm disposition. I think it's a nice relaxing fragrance. More than just "pretty" but not as sexy as I would have expected from an oriental woody. It's perfect for daytime and nighttime wear IMHO. I definitely want my own bottle.

perfumes_addict

i wouldn't call this perfume oriental and woody... it's more like a fresh one but without any aquatic notes. just powdery, clean and modern. it is just a bit masculine if you ask me but this is what i like about it. it reminds me somehow of bvlgari blu notte.

Gemini

My brand new love! So elegant, pure, soapy&powdery. It is a really sophisticated fragrance, I would like to own a big bottle of that!

snobuni77

Like a gentle spring breeze floating through an open window this is a very mild.It relaxes me.....Maybe it is because it also resembles a the scent of a baby.

The notes smell very pure to me.
I get the Mandarin, Orange & Benzion scents upon applying it I would say it is more of an "Orange Zest" I smell.You know, when you grate the skin of an orange to add to a recipe.

Well that fades away within the first 5 minutes & then it relaxes into a very soft baby like scent....a freshly bathed baby.

I also sense the scent of petroleum in this.....I'm not exactly sure what note it is but I actually like it a lot.
It makes me feel that I just applied oil to my skin. I even had to touch the area to make sure it wasn't greasy...weird I know?

The Cedar is very light as well as the other notes but to me that's the note that takes it away from it's infant delicacy & makes it more womanly & grown up.

It is a great spring/summer scent in it's lightness & it would be great for a new mom or nurse.Its for anyone who is around sensitive people or is sensitive themselves regarding scents.

It is the perfect perfume as it is well done & adult all while being very delicate & feminine.

flowers&spice

I am in love with this scent. I usually go for a little deeper, warmer scent, and was utterly surprised to fall for this. I think of it more as a floral scent with it's fresh, clean and flowery start. It does develop a bit of a woodsy base, but it's all so fresh, refined and delicate that I find myself wishing to reapply throughout the day. The staying power is, sadly, not what I wish it was for this gorgeous scent. If I could find one of the large bottles at a reasonable price I would be a very happy girl indeed as I spritzed all day long! Really beautiful, and makes me feel refined, cared for, classic and clean.

guest_lotusleaf

totally agree with Urban Skies! After 30 minutes of spritzing it.... I drove home and to check my kids' shampoo because I was sure it was the same scent. And it's not at all. I even checked the other brands to see if another baby shampoo - nope... no match. Something really reminds me of baby smell here.

I'm not a fan of iris, but in Infusion d'Iris i quite like it. It is calm and tender and slightly greenish, fresh and yeh - clean. Perfect for everyday.

megannsmom

Very nice, clean scent. Like very expensive soap at first, then like clean skin warmed by the sun. Perfect scent for everyday. FBW in my opinion!

Mals86

Lovely pale, cool iris, which eventually dries down to a lightly spicy incense scent. Very pleasant, light, and business-appropriate.

I have a mini but am not tempted to purchase a larger amount.

mmizy

at first its comes of as nothing special even soapy but the drydown is beautiful. Its clean with a touch of green and powder. Like nothing I have...must add it to my collection. You have to test it...it smells better on skin.

scarlett5stam

I have in sample and I wearing this today. I very like it, it's powdery and soapy. It's a little woody. It's a cocconing scent and remind me of the colognes of my grandmother.

veronique

Soapy and powdery in top notes, but the dry down is really interesting with soft incense and wood notes.
Not for everyone.

Bouquet

Clean, fresh/soapy, crisp, feminine, modern, classic, floral (but not your great aunt's floral), chic, elegant, versatile and sexy in the way that emanates from a lady who is focused and competent. You could wear it to work, on the weekend, with friends and family, or for an evening out. Best for spring or fall weather.

You have to layer it with the body lotion to make it last more than a couple of hours. So, stash a mini bottle of the scent in your bag.

tessture

One of my all-time favorites. Versatile, clean and fresh without aquatic notes, slightly incense-y, light. I get compliments on this one and it wears well in winter or summer. I have no trouble with lasting power like others have reported.

a bit vintage

Oh my, love, love, love. So many fragrances give me a headache, but this...it has been on my wish list mainly out of curiosity because of a magazine's scented strip, and reading great reviews. Miss Nightingale - your beautiful review set me in motion to purchase this. I feel as though I could bathe in a vat of this stuff! It has a perfect softly sexy, sophisticated, urban appeal. My new love!

guest_guest_guest

Very fresh and crisp frag, woodsy n flowery at da same time.
So bad it doesn't last too long (2-3 hrs). All2gether this is a very lovely feminine composition and a very interesting interpretation of iris.
Highly recommended for spring time.
All the Prada fragrances just rulzzzz :)

barbiot35

The name Infusion d'Iris was very exciting when I first saw its advertisement. But the fragrance isn't a onique one; it has very common notes that aren't harmonic:( And has NO staying power(not poor).

It's so funny reading all the comments. I wear this parfume on a daily basis, from the 1st time I tried it I know that this is my scent!It is clean, warm, edgy, sophisticated a bit musky and yet comfy. It is so me!

guiwings

WOW! I finally tried INfusion d'iris. I'm wearing it right now. I just can say: where have you been all my life?
It's fresh but yet warm. Floral, but not floral sick.
It´s magical.

*Thank you Boggi

JZ

it's not uniqe or suprising when i smell it for thr 1st time, but after some time, it makes me feel so...comfortable. it's not like a scent of perfum, smell expensive.

Kama

I love this perfume! I have falled in love with them in the summer and had to buy them.
In fact they smell similar to Givenchy III... that I also used to have and love... veru orginal, classic, and woody/fresh smell.

FANNY

I think i'll give it a second try.. Two days later when I opened my closet a delight scent came to my nose from the sleeve of my coat! Then I called up what it was.. I agree with Aysu, after it starts to dry it becomes a brand new perfume!

FANNY

i sprayed it today.. although it has a pleasant smell i didn't like it.. it smells too chemical plus it reminds me a lot of the JOHNSON's Baby SHAMPOO Smell!!

alicektn

This fragrance reminds me of a woman's bedroom in the country, in a sunny spring or summer day with open windows.

Clean, powdery, citrusy and earthy. Carefree and feminine. My skin doesn't copliment too much the drydown, which is pure cedar on me, but still it is pleasant.

Unfortunately, it is not very long lasting.

sjanira

I subscribe to a certain magazine and they had this sample inside. I smelled it and rubbed it on my wrist. I knew then that I had to have this fragrance. Different,edgy,classy and sophisticated.
It's everything you ask for in a fragrance. It's not to often that you come across a perfume that's perfect in every way. One that might be that one you've been looking for and finally found! I truly recommend this fragrance to anyone. It's one that will be a classic in my book.

tessture

Clean, only slightly floral, crisp wood, resinous benzoin. I get compliments with this one and it's come to be my daily scent. More suited for summer, it can still be worn anytime. Very light and lovely. Noticeable without being intrusive.

Miss_Nightingale

I spent the summer wrapped in a giddy haze of this gorgeous new scent from Prada. I was lucky enough to buy a whopping great 200ml sized bottle for a bargain price in a tester sale at work (I work in a designer department store here in the UK) so felt free to spray with complete abandon.

The overall impression of this scent is cooling, calming even, yet curiously uplifting. Whenever I needed a "boost" I would spritz a little more on & revel in my own fragrant cocoon; but let me break down the layers for you to give you a better idea of how this fragrance worked for me:

First of all there is a dry, slightly woodsy lemon-tinged mandarin that mellows into cedar (not too sharp, though, as some cedars can be) which is beautifully tempered with the powdery iris. This then settles down to a very long lasting (on me, anyway) white musky harmony of bone dry florals, woods and vetiver.

For me, this is a modern classic. It is bottled Class & Sophistication, but with a fun, carefree edge that prevents it from being too much of a stuffed shirt. There is nothing overtly showy here, just effortlessly sexy in an Audrey Hepburn wearing a man's slightly rumpled white shirt kind of a way.

Interestingly, I had this pegged as a Definitely Summer Only perfume, but the other day, whilst having an "I can't think what I want to smell of today!" moment, I reached for my (now sadly depleted) bottle of Infusion D'Iris... With snow on the ground and air so cold it made you gasp, this somehow just WORKED. It made a transition from summer to Winter, and this for a gal who would only normally wear ambers and deep, dark civets for the winter!

I urge you to give this a try.

BethAshley

I bought this fragrance on impulse (the bottle is so chic!) and was very surprised to see that it was introduced in 2007. This perfume is a great break from the sweet/fruity/candy scents that have been taking over the stores.

Infusion d'Iris nods to classic perfumes with its powdery florals but manages to avoid being old-fashioned by intertwining them with soapy and fresh ceader notes.

I find it to be quietly refined and perfect for the office. Although it is a delicate fragrance hints of it are still on my skin by the end of the work day.

Malegria

From the very beginning I liked it! The fresh opening is very unique and elegant - and if you like fleur d`orange, it is the most delicate and sensual fleur d`orange ever!I kept on smelling my wrist, and then I started to feel Her Majesty the Iris, which is for sure one of the purest I tried.I was in total paradise for about 3 hours, and guess what? The base smells very much alike with Flower Kenzo Orjental.May be a little more fresh - but definitely very close.
I would buy it just for the opening, it`s delightful!

mymlan

I love this one! I bought 200 ml in Tenerife for approx 50 euros. Unfortunately it is to heavy to carry in the bag so I had to buy a smaller one as well. At the same time I also got the body lotion which I highly recommend as it makes the scent in total very long lasting. I really like how the EdP developes with my body scent and all different stages it passes. The scent stays quite long on me but because I'm addicted to all stages I need to put some more on later in the day. This is primary a day fragrance for me, but it works in the evenings as well. Try it!

Aysu

When you first smell this fragrance, you feel that it is a unisex one, typical light, soapy, a little citrusy unisex.. I was surprised to hear that it is for women. But after it starts to dry down, it takes maybe more than 3-4 different forms and suprises me by being a complex scent although it does not look like that (considering the notes) It lasted at least more than 8-9 hours on me (agree with previous comments) and everybody that smelled my wrist fell in love with this fragrance.. Not a very heady fragrance like the original Prada, but if you want something clean and fresh but a trendy one, and if you want that fresh smell last for hours on your skin, then you should choose this one..

Boggi

Have to add: some people look at this as a summer scent. I have not tried it in the summer, but I have experienced that it turns just georgous outside in the late fall cold weather.

amanda

i love prada, but not this one, it was too woody, it smelled like an old decayed piece of wood for me,

Boggi

I tried it on this morning in a boutique. So far it has lasted on my skin for eight hours and it has been a wonderful time. Its get creamier every hour. The smell reminds me a little of a fig fragrance, but cleaner. Like Urban Skies I get some unclear childhood memories, but I dont know what it is.
This is a must-have to me.

I also agree with Mariotgomez that this will fit very good for a man as well.

kanoodle7

I love this perfume. From the sexy scent to the gorgeous bottle. Wonderful addition to my collection. Lasted 8 plus hours, and seemed to get better as the night wore on.

Vincenzina

I have a sensitive nose so i can't stand the havy perfumes.This one is light,smell like clean with a woody undertone.Very nice!!

NuriaRose

i like perfume that have base smell of cologan- have expensive smell - very long lasting , i didnt get in love from the first sniff, maybe cause all the other smell around me - so my advaice is when you are in the perfume shop - apply only this perfume on your wirst , get out from the store and then decide if you like it - i am sure u will :-)

natissimo

i like it a lot. it was my main spring perfume. it's also very good in the summer days. makes me feel fresh and clean. i love the design of the bottle, it's simple and classic...:):)

Marianne

This fragrance reminds me of some kind of soap of my childhood. Therefore, I had to have it immediately. It is a good combination of powdery and soapy notes, very elegant and clean. In my opinion, this is the female equivalent for Prada pour homme.

Urban Skies

I can definitely understand why this fragrance wouldn't work on everyone, but it totally captivates me. It brings up such positive childhood memories of gardens after the rain. I wasn't sure whether I liked it at first because it has an unusual, medicinal soapiness (maybe Johnson's Baby Shampoo??), but now I'm completely obsessed with it. I recently smelled someone else wearing it and for a moment felt a ridiculous pang of jealousy. That's MINE! (Yikes) :) The bottle is the epitome of understated, dignified elegance. I would have bought it for the bottle alone, as that's what initially attracted me to it. There's a vintage apothecary vibe about this perfume and its bottle which I completely adore.

Aeternitas

I bought Prada Milano for my mother, which I had originally planned on buying for myself because I loved it so much. It has such a modern, classic, and expensive feel to it! We both love it. It does remind me of Milano, the busy city full of fashion and trendy, modern women with classic taste you may find in the city, which I travel to often. It comes off a little strong when you first spray it, but once it settles, it's a perfect woody, nearly traditional scent. Totally fine and wearable for everyday!

lillybee

To my disappointment, this fragrance didn't last for more than two hours. What I was left with was a a soapy and woody base - the most tenacious notes. The lack of heavy base notes such as the ones used in Prada Eau de Parfum for Her makes Infusion d'Iris very light and delicate but unfortunately not long-lasting.

mariotgomez

Although this fragrance is marketed toward women, I enjoy wearing it. It has such a clean, crisp & modern scent that anyone can wear it. I get complements from both men & women. I am a person who has a pasion for fragrances. So when I came across this scent, I had to add it to my collection.
