Infusion d'Amande

Infusion D'Amande is a beautiful easy to wear fragrance. The almond is a clean soapy almond. It is fragrant and not at all gourmand. The heliotrope and tonka give a lovely soft powderiness and the musk in the base is clean and fresh. This fragrance is pretty uncomplicated. It is unobtrusive and linear. What I smell on application is what i smell at the end of it's wear. I wear this when I just want to smell clean and fresh and when I am going to be in situation that I want my fragrance to be a little more subtle. This is a beautiful and elegant scent that I find works in any season. It is a lovely fragrance for most workplaces since it has a soft projection and a reserved and slightly serious (but not stuffy) feel to it. This is marketed as a unisex fragrance and I agree, but it does lean just a little feminine. I have heard a lot of complaints about the performance of this fragrance. That has been far from my experience. My bottle is a few years old (2019, I think), so there may have been a reformulation. Infusion D'Amande lasts forever on me. I get whiffs of it all day when I am wearing it, even as the projection settles. I find it has moderate projection for a few hours, around arms length, then settles and stays closer to the skin. I can still smell it on my skin 12+ hours later. In my hair and on clothes, it stays until they are washed. I have had similar experience with Infusion D'Iris. I tend to use what I feel is a pretty average application, 4-6 sprays. I love the packaging of this line. It is the definiation of elegant and understated. Everything about it feels like excellent quality. Heavy glass, an embossed metal plate with the Prada logo. Even the textured paper label on the side feels of excellent quality. It is a simple and elegant design.

Daniela Andrier is one of my favourite noses, Prada Candy, infusion d iris edp / absolue... Just to name a few, shes got huge talent... She has created another charming and beautiful fragrance here , A right little wrist sniffer :) As others say it’s very soft , and I think certain musks I just can’t smell after a while. My hubby can smell it still long after I can’t however , good news :) D’Amande ( almond) is sensual and a wispy soft fragrance, a fragrance an angel should sptitz on her wings ...beautiful and sheer. It makes me think of sugared almond sweets , I’m sure they were whole nut of almonds with a crisp sugar shell that I remember as a child. That’s exactly the scent here. The advertising is picture of a pretty bottle , soft florals and a watercolour type painting exactly what this comes across like, transparency and a light fluffy sweetness, crystalline like , translucent and shimmering. I’m not sure it will ever beat my lovely infusion d iris edp, I love the crispy notes of iris, a favourite, but prada infusion d Amande is shining with a soft slightly wavering light and I can’t stop Spraying and smelling this beautiful wispy fragrance, I just wish it spoke a touch louder , why oh why does it have to be sooo quiet, stillness can be dreamy , this definitely is ! Do try this ! It’s a gem , perfect summer scent :) Camden-girl. Edit, oh what a favourite this has become, it’s just lovely, quite addictive, This has become a top used favourite ! It’s soooo good.

I bought a tiny little sample bottle of this with another purchase not too long ago. I finally got around to trying it, and I love it! I'm a very big gourmand woman and so anything with edible notes automatically draws my attention. I love almonds, I love almond milk, I love almond pudding and I also love marzipan. So this really was a no-brainer. Also, may I add that the combo of tonka bean and musk can elevate any perfume into ecstasy. They're another kind of perfume-power couple. I reviewed Tous Bonjour Señorita yesterday and listed passion fruit/coconut as a perfume power-couple as well. When I first sprayed it on, it was very powdery. Like, as in I got flashbacks two actual baby powder. Which, was not really a bad thing, since it's a very pleasant smell. Then, about five minutes later once the alcohol had all evaporated, I was left with this very soft and gentle deliciousness on my skin. The almond and the vanilla are just beautiful together. I'm going to say it...I smell like a gourmet amaretto cupcake with marzipan icing...and I'm TOTALLY okay with that. I highly recommend this perfume if you want something that's a little bit sweet but not overpowering. If you want a touch of gourmand without ending up with something stronger than you can stomach. I'm going to play around with this one a little bit in try layering it with some of the other ones that I have. I'll let you know if I come up with some fantastic combos.

This is such a special fragrance, but it's not going to be for everyone. Infusion d'Amande is a soft, effervescent, slightly powdery, almond musk scent. It is perfectly balanced and quiet but with immense depth. It's floral, perfectly sweet, and creamy enough that it never veers into baby powder territory for me. It's just how it goes with musk—you have to wear it to see how your chemistry is going to combine with it. I absolutely love the fizzy opening that smells like gently gingered yet refined root beer bubbles on your nose. I sampled an older bottle before purchasing and this quality was magnified and longer-lasting, so I imagine that as my bottle macerates, it will only get better. Infusion d'Amande is a delicate scent but that's precisely what makes it magical. If it were beast mode, It would be far too heavy and cloying. It's a gentle embrace, not a bear hug. It is fairly long-lasting though and perfect for after the shower, before bedtime, or when you just want to smell beautiful without the fragrance being intrusive. I can't imagine not always having this in my collection. I adore so many fragrances created by Daniela (Roche) Andrier because she creates wonderfully expressive yet soft perfumes.

it is a truth universally acknowledged that all hot girls suffer from birthday blues, but this is almost good enough to snap me out of that inevitable, existential sort of disappointment. i gambled on trying it for the first time today and won big time. it's as powdery as they come, just how i like it, reminiscent of the great vintage classics of perfumery — or baby wipes, depending on your personal frame of reference. it smells clean in an androgynous, delicate and elegant way: almonds (not bitter, marzipan-like benzaldehyde; more like warm almond meal) and anise and lots of coumarin make it smell addictive but not heavy. the heliotrope is what seals the deal for me. it's probably one of my favourite notes in perfumery, also present in my signature scents (après l'ondée and l'heure bleue by guerlain), and it characteristically expands into a luminous and intoxicating golden floral aroma when the fragrance is warmed on the skin (i.e. by someone's breath, in a warm room, or in the shower), giving it a responsive and intimate profile that i just adore. i thought i had sworn off buying full bottles, but this is extremely tempting. you know what, this might well be 26-year-old me's new signature scent.
