Description
Infusion collection from Prada began in 2007 with Infusion d’Iris edition. The fragrances of this collection were launched as limited editions. In 2015, Prada returns this collection as permanent. It presents 6 fragrances: the re-launched Infusion d’Iris, Infusion de Fleur d’Oranger from 2009 and Infusion de Vetiver from 2010, and three new editions Infusion d’Iris Cedre, Infusion d’Amande and Infusion d’Oeillet.
Perfumer Daniela (Roche) Andrier collaborated with Miuccia Prada to create this collection of six elegant and sophisticated unisex fragrances. Each fragrance is an interpretation of natural ingredients and the contrast between traditionalism and modernity.
Infusion de Vetiver contains accords of Haitian vetiver, purple ginger, Tunisian neroli, Italian bergamot and Turkish rose.

Wonderful sheer veil of scent. Has enough citrus & ginger to keep it crisp & cool, vetiver gorgeous, & balanced with rose. Unable to smell the neroli.
Perfect for me (female).
Good unisex fragrance for males when they want to leave a subtle trail not a blast.
It’s not a strong parfum more an EDT style.
Perfect.

Infusion d’Iris with green peppery vetiver notes and more wood. As it dries, citrus comes out more. Dries fully to a sheer vetiver/wood scent, very light, not unlike Kenzo Air, but sheerer and prettier. I like it a lot. My sister thought it had a harsh edge. Still, it’s so very close to Infusion d’Iris that I probably won’t buy it.

How is cannabis not listed as a note, it’s most noticeable one for me. It’s the weed an aging Rastafarian smokes, not the skunk kids on street corners smoke.

Infusion de Vetiver starts with beautiful and crisp bergamot, ginger and vetiver; it is bit green and sweet. Mid bring neroli and supresses the ginger tipping the feel more to the green side of things, drydown is soft greenness of vetiver and neroli. Overall I find this to be “sunny” and green fragrance, no bitterness or dark notes and that actually seems to be something I am enjoying more and more.
With such a nice scent it’s a bit unfortunate that longevity is only moderate, though sillage could be considered good for summery fresh/green scent.
There is something that really draws me to this fragrance, maybe it’s the balance and smoothness of it all. At first I just thought this as nice scent that I might get if I see a good deal, but Infusion de Vetiver did something to me that made me start to crave it. Now it is something that I will get full bottle, as what I have now won’t be enough for me anymore.
Infusion de Vetiver is rather versatile fragrance, maybe cold winter day outside might be bit too much for it but I’m sure everything else works; formal and casual doesn’t matter this works with both. The only thing that could be seen as negative is that it’s not that “special” scent; it’s great take on vetiver fragrance and over all great scent that did the most important thing any scent can do for me, made me smile.

A luminously refined take on Vetiver, Infusion de Vetiver is beautifully blended, elegant and airy. One of the better Infusion releases.
Opening with a big astringent hit of bergamot and neroli, Infusion de Vetiver quickly turns sultry with fresh, spicy ginger and gently crushed rose petals. Only in the dry down does the elegantly complex vetiver take centre stage with its ever evolving citrus and smoky characteristics; even then it’s beautifully backboned by softer hints of ginger and rose that never completely leave my skin. There is a powderiness to Infusion de Vetiver as one would expect from a Prada Infusion release.
A unisex fragrance with masculine leanings, this is easily wearable by both sexes. A beautifully refreshing warm weather scent.
Longevity is moderate with moderate sillage.
8/10

This is a subtly prettified vetiver, airy and light as you’d expect from Prada’s infusion range.
The touches of neroli and rose are perfect, smoothing out the astringent green of vetiver without becoming too floral.
Citrus always pairs beautifully with the lemony notes of vetiver, but most vetiver-centred perfumes focus on that aspect alone, or hints of wood and smoke to echo the woody smoky aspects of vetiver(I love Creed’s Vetive for its smokiness though it’s more recognisably masculine in style)
It feels to me that the usual combination of vetiver woods and citrus has been taken in a subtly diferent direction here – it’s recognisably all about vetiver but I’d buy this over the Diptyque or Malle versions (though I do like those), as it’s just a little bit different, maybe also a bit more feminine.
I also love Miller Harris’s Vetiver Insolent, but that’s a velvety perfume suited to autumn I think, this is ideal for spring/summer, it would be the perfume equivalent to a silky dress in light green and yellow.
Also, if like me you love Infusion d’Iris and wear it year round, this will make a nice change in hot weather!
It’s a simple perfume concept in some ways and maybe doesn’t warrant me going on about it! but I love the easy-to-wear yet elegant feel of Prada’s infusions series.

I like this one a lot. Being a patchouli-crazy and sandalwood-mad for quite some time, I forgot the beauty of vetiver. But, there, I gave a sniff and bought it. Now, there will be better vetivers in the market, I’m sure, but this is a lovely blend of vetiver as well.
Leans towards the masculine side, but it’s worth buying even for layering with other perfumes. Needless to say, my man confiscated it. Doesn’t project well, lasts at about three to four hours on skin and more on clothes.
The overall blend impressed me. It’s mainly vetiver, but it has citrus layers, spicy character, I guess because of the ginger, it’s clean because of the neroli, rosy in the late drydown, earthy, mastic-like, medicinal, (dare I say somewhat weedy?). Smoked at times and almost savory. Yep, I love it!
“This for men, not for ladies” takes it and douses. Cannot lie, I like it on him equally. We will need a new bottle soon.

This is a nice take on vetiver, the rose and neroli at the beginning give it a unisex feel, then they disappear within 15-20 min leaving the citrus and vetiver to take over.
Its not a strong perfume and thats my only take on it, otherwise its a very nice scent.

Now, this was a good lesson on how your skin may bring out notes which you don’t expect (or want, for that matter). Love vetiver, especially in base notes so it lingers on the skin and slowly fades out… I thought the combination with ginger would be interesting, so I gave it a try. Heaven help me, that was a mistake! The only note that developed was ginger, obnoxious, obtrusive, in-your-face ginger for hours. Hours! If it was a scent I liked, I would have been impressed by the intensity and persistence. This way, I tried washing it off – which didn’t help. I suffered it for about four hours, developed a headache and a deep regret for my skin chemistry. Lovely composition in theory, but try it on first.

Prada Infusion d’Homme with a lemon twist.

Starts out an underwhelming generic (sweet) citrus-floral, but then dries into a wonderful transparent natural-smelling vetiver like Dior’s!

It is my first review so I will keep it short and less pretentious. Its the start of rather hot spring here in sydney and I wanted to go with something a little sweet smell rather citric. Came across these 6 eau de perfumes by Prada. Vetiver is more masculine than rest of the counterparts. It starts with sweet vetiver with hints of rose here and there. I find it more linear a perfume as name suggests its all about vetiver for me. Though not close to issey miyake but has the potential to replace it in my collection. Silage is low to moderate. I can smell it on myself but others cannot. It lasts around 4-6 hours for me easily. I personally couldn’t smell Bergamot or Ginger in it (it could be my nose so don’t take my word on this). Its longevity and silage could have been better knowing its eau de perfum. Nevertheless I am not disappointed with it.
