Prada: Infusion d'Iris, Eau de Parfum

Launched: 2007 Classification: Woody oriental Thought I prefer wearing perfumes from the renowned French fragrance houses such as Guerlain, Lancome and Cacharel, I also regularly follow what the most notorious fashion design houses are up to in terms of new fragrance releases which are often in fact olfactory reformulations of known, classic perfume blends. With this new fragrance Prada breaks away from their embrace of the stronger, darker range of Prada Eau de Parfum (2004) and Prada Eau de Parfum Intense (2005) where patchouli and amber were the most prominent notes. Infusion d'Iris is a distinctive, light and fresh perfume that is probably ...  Read the complete review

I have tried many perfumes, and this is my favourite ever. It has a beautiful, long-lasting fragrance that evolves throughout the day. The name, 'Infusion d'Iris', apparently refers to the iris-scent. I wouldn't recognise the scent of iris, but it is definitely floral, with base notes of vetiver (this is what most perfumes have as their base).

Eau d'iris smells, as the name may suggest, of irises. NOt my favourite flower but I thought I would try it anyway. At first it was nothing special, bu then it began to grow on me. I was walking around and kept smelling this wonderful scent, and only realised it was me after a long period of time.

Prices start from around 30 pound, and in my opinion ...  Read the complete review

Although this perfume can be a bit pricey I would definitely recommend it to any girl! I first smelt it when I got into my friend's car, who was wearing it at the time, and the whole car smelt of Iris'. I thought that it was a very clean and fresh scent and was very impressed that the smell was so strong. I personally like my fragrance to last through the day and I really feel that this fragrance really delivers. Even though the floral scent is very fitting for the summer, I do believe that you could easily wear it during any season. I had my eye on this Prada fragrance for a while but I was put off by the price for so long. Eventually I bought my ...  Read the complete review
