I bought paul smith rose today instead, having read your comments on this one yet, and cant find it on amazon? If you prefer how a fragrance's notes unfold in lighter concentration, then it's worth more to you to buy the cologne or EDT, than the parfum. Long lasting, not at all overwhelming.

All It's strange, but for a while now I'm kinda bored by (new) men's scents and more intrigued by females. The Paul Smiths tend to take some time to arrive here. Prada Infusion D'Iris is one of my all time favorite perfumes! I have to be honest, it does smell a little mature and heavy, so I only wear it in the late summer and fall.

Im wearing it today and while the edp has vanished the lotion still has a delicate presence. It's a vetiver and iris fragrance, it reminds me of Guerlain's Vetiver but it has a bit more depth. I like Infusion d'Iris much better, but I think they're similar enough to be worth a try.

Star rating: 5 starsoutstanding/potential classic, 4 starsvery good, 3 starsadequate, 2 starsdisappointing, 1 starpoor. Often times, people don't know why they are connected more to one fragrance than another. I might get 50ml. Interesting how differently people perceive scents! Is this perfume worth the money? Sweet and earthy with notes of spring and summer. A wift of this tells me I dont use it nearly enough. If you decide it is too feminine, you could also layer it with Prada Homme. I do not know how much Muccia gets involved w/ the fragrance, but my suspicion would be, more than most designers, simply because the fragrance line is so lovely AND so entirely unusual. I've had a couple that turned after five or six years, and one that went nuclear after a year or so (very disappointingpractically a full bottle, and the colour darkened DRAMATICALLY over the course of a few weeks, with a corresponding degradation in the scent). It appears to be exclusive to Neiman Marcus at the moment, but I assume it will eventually be found in the usual places.

The star of the show is (of course) iris which, in perfumery, isnt actually extracted from Iris pallida flowers, but their roots (in a long, expensive process that takes about 3-5 years). There must be something that youd feel more comfortable in. A terrible smell. This lasts all day on me when applied at 8am. Had to get myself a bottle of this, and its just beautiful. Very pretty but probably going to pick up fingerprints eventually. Elaborate, I think I know what you mean. I had ordered a sample of the EDP from The Perfumed Court and just loved it. Just sniffed Prada Infusion d'Iris on my wrist now, having nabbed a sample after reading with great interest about Iris scents. December 18, 2015 at 3:37pm Reply, RM: Hello Victoria! I got this perfume for my birthday from @saks and love it, it's not my favorite, but I love it. Like most people, half of what I buy is spur of the moment, or sometimes to fill holes in my collection as opposed to what I think is the best of the recent releases. I hate attacking SAs! It does not smell sultry to me, or old, but it does smell sophisticated. Ok guys. Robin, in my country you find only this, infusion dhomme is not imported. . October 12, 2011 at 2:15pm Reply, Janet: Sanam thank you for confirming this;) I thought it smelled like that just because I have a nursing background and so many things smell like body fluids! On my first encounter, I sprayed a little on a card, and thought it quite nice, but within an hour, it didn't smell like anything worth worrying about either way. Feel pretty sure that this will also smell good on a man. It also evokes the illusion of strangeness when tested against rashly outspoken competition, yet remains only a hint of quiet essence on the skin (I guess Infusion D'Iris gets interesting in other company.

My husband picked up the incense notes right awaythe man has a good nose. My husband just said, You smell pretty! I said, You like this? And he said, Yeah! May have to rethink returning Ms. M. Ha ha. It is soft-spoken, but not dull at all, and while it calls for a more liberal application than you'd expect for an Eau de Parfum and even then, don't go looking for major sillage it is actually rather tenacious in terms of lasting power. Sweet was there before, but wasn't edible sth new? Ha.
It's because I haven't been able to find a soft scent. I wonder when this one will make it to the UK? Would cost you more though! Its an elegant fragrance that I wear day of night.

Smells just like sweat on me, nothing more, nothing less. Polished delicacy- yes, definitely! As for the sugar-floral-fruit craze in the markets: I'm convinced the popularity of fruity-sweet scents for the 11-24 age group has much to do with the scents that were included in toys and candies from the 1980's and 90's.

Ethereal, mysterious and alluring, a mere touch of it manages to transform a bright hologram of a fragrance into a softly lit daguerreotype. Its star note is rendered with sophistication and charm, in an accord full of subtle, hush-toned nuances. It strongly references Guerlain LHeure Bleue, even down to Guerlains exquisite melancholy.

IdI just has something more substantial in it, I dont smell enough of the incense in Infusion DHomme to make it interesting enough to wear on a regular basis. Im on early 20s and thought this smelled delicious in store, but when I got home and spritzed it on I thought it might be too sultry and sophisticated.
