I love Prada‘s Infusion d’Iris. I bought a bottle when it launched in 2007, and it’s nearly drained — that probably doesn’t seem too impressive, but I own a lot of perfume at this point. To finish off anything, I must really like it.
I haven’t been so fond of the flankers (the Prada “Ephemeral Infusions“) and I didn’t see the need for the Eau de Toilette version of the original Infusion d’Iris, which was more citrusy and floral, less “rooty” — the rooty / earthy part of iris is the part I’m generally after (although mind you, Infusion d’Iris was not a root-fest in the manner of some iris fragrances). So the newest iteration, the Eau de Parfum Absolue, was more likely to appeal, and yes, that’s just how it turned out.
Like all the others in the Infusion series, Infusion d’Iris Absolue was developed by perfumer Daniela Andrier…
