Infusion de Fleur d'Oranger

Somehow I can understand the hate on Infusion De Fleur D'Oranger; simply: women's "ruined" taste on perfume. Not bashing anyone's taste. But, if you break it down, it leads there; women are so addicted to fruity cake-like perfumes that when they actually smell a real flower centered perfume they are appalled. Flower notes are used in gourmand perfumes too, sure, but they are not the center, and they barely stand in the background, not really present. So what I'm saying is that women, well at least of my generation, (I'm 25) cannot appreciate white flowers because they haven't learned them first place. Personally, balsamics is my thing but as it's sometimes unbearable to wear a balsamic thick juice in the summer, Infusion De Fluer D'Oranger is one option that I seriously consider. For some, it's soapy, for others it's a powdery mess, for me it's two things: for the first half of wear time it's the definition of the procedure of ironing sheets, the steam plus the laundry being ironed. For the second half of wear it is the walls of the ballet school I would attend from 4 years old until 7. Walls, corridors, barre, you name it, the scent was everywhere! Not just some specific flowers, but the whole blend, the combination. Maybe my dance teacher was wearing a similar blend or the room refreshers were alike; Do not care. It's a haunting scent. Not even remotely sweet, lightly citrusy and for just some minutes, clean, sour, bitter and slightly medicinal at times. Not groundbreaking by any means, but not your typical powder either. Soapy not in a hand-soap way, but totally detergent-like. Funny thing: I sprayed liberally on my skin, so I know if a fragrance works for me for sure, (no need for much from Infusion De Fluer D'Oranger) and after a fair amount of testing time (it lasted approximately six hours) I went to shower and specifically used a cherry scented soap in order to counteract the perfume notes. Not only wasn't the perfume washed off, but it was rather intensified. Can't wait for summer and wear it at the beach! A yes from me

To start .... it was a blind purchase for me without testing before or reading any comment . I had no time at that moment that I bought it , to make a research if this fit me or not . Being a fan of lnfusion d'lris just thought that I would like even this version . Personally l think now it was a little more than a pleasant surprise!!! The white flowers are what attract me more in perfumes and I like to reveal them in different variants . Recently, I was very overwhelmed by some of the heavy oriental fragrances l used . This discovery was for me as a rainbow after the rain , made me feel comfortable , clean and delicate at the same time without disconnecting from my favorite category of white flowers . Neroli and Orange flowers are making the opening in a subtle , delicate and very pleasant way . Tuberose comes to give this perfume a sense of depth in creamy way and not overhelming as usual is tuberose in most of the perfumes l have smelled. Jasmine is not sharp but just enough to give a sense of purity and soapy , the same feeling as you just come out of the shower and it lasts all day l am wearing it. For this reason I like it more than the original lnfusion d'lris because it is exactly what l want and in the same time is still on the original line of lnfusions variations ...powdery-soapy-soft-delicate. Another thing I was impressed is that this perfume works perfect with my chemistry and lasting power on my skin is amazing until the next day . l am very surprised readind that on others doesn't last . On my skin this version last more than lnfusion d'lris and is more noticable by me , l mean l can smell it all the day without putting my nose on the skin to sniff it. This is sensual, soft , feminine like skin scent but with moderate sillage . This is what makes me feel pure, clean , sexy with a touch of soft flowers in the precious moments ...

Didn’t expect it, but I’m in love! I was just looking for something fresh and light — the kind of scent that feels like clean skin after a warm shower — when the sales assistant handed me this. The pink bottle and first spray instantly made me think, nah, not my thing. But then I smelled it... and honestly, I couldn’t walk out without it. It’s soft, airy, like a breeze through white curtains on a slow morning. Smells a bit like those old-school bar soaps from childhood — the good kind — mixed with this quiet, sunny warmth that’s hard to put into words. Even though it leans slightly feminine, it still feels completely wearable for me as a cis masculine presenting guy. I’ve worn it a few times to work and got more compliments and curious “what are you wearing?” than ever before. It never screams, never offends, just floats around you gently, like you’ve got your life together. Sure, I wish it lasted more than half a day, but I don’t even mind reapplying. It just makes me feel calm, clean, a little bit glowy. It really works — for me, anyway. And I adore it.

Love this perfume! The scent is refreshing, beautiful and floral. I mainly smell the orange blossom and neroli and not much else which I don't mind because the combination of those two components make for one gorgeous smell. It is a day scent worn best in the spring or summer months. This will always be special because my husband got it for me for Valentines Day this year. ***Update***Just got the full bottle in the mail today and I almost returned it. It smelled too much like shampoo when I sprayed it on my clothes and I did not like it. I finally sprayed it on my skin and what a difference! On my skin, I could smell the orange blossom, neroli, jasmine and a little bit of the mandarin orange. So I am definitely going to keep it because it smelled great on my skin. I will just have to remember not to spray it on my clothes.

This was love from the first moment it hit my skin. As Infusion d'Iris was very sharp and sour, my hopes regarding Infusion de Fleur d'Oranger were extremely low. It did start a little sharp on my skin but unlike any other perfume I ever tried it melted onto me, leaving an addictive scent of freshness. The scent didn't change much even after a couple of hours out on a very hot and humid street. It weakened but only a little bit - so staying power is very good. I noticed it changes dramatically when it touches the skin. While on my skin it became quite sweet, my friends got a very sharp and somewhat unpleasant scent on theirs. I think it's a good choice of perfume for women who try to give out a "strong" vibe, rather than a "sexy" one. It's not sweet, not comforting nor sedvctive, but very clean, fresh and dry.

Infusion de Fleur d'Oranger is lovely, definitely soapy, clean, and simply wonderful. I can't say that it shatters any boundaries or redefines my perceptions of what a great fragrance is, but I still love it. The fragrance definitely has the aura of good quality. I think the tuberose gives the perfume a certain depth, and while it is noticeable it doesn't overpower the orange blossom. Jasmine is clean and adds to the soapiness. Thankfully this isn't an overwhelming white flower bomb. It is a gentle caress, a spring breeze that carries the promise of summer riding on its coat tails, a soft, alluring femininity. I only have a 1.7 ounce, and while I would repurchase it, that probably won't happen since to my knowledge it is no longer in production. I will enjoy my bottle to the very last drop.

I'm usually not a fan with anything with tuberose in it, but this is gorgeous! A fresh, citrusy take on a classic old-fashioned vintage powder scent. It's a lot less stuffy and aristocratic than Infusion d'Iris, but it's just as clean and timeless. Citrus scents just feel less outdated than vintage cosmetic notes like violet or iris, so this is a good thing to try if you like Infusion d'Iris but find it to be a little too old fashioned. It manages to not smell like a cleaning product either, which is a hard feat for a soapy citrus scent to do. I'm impressed by how much I love it, usually tuberose + jasmin smells like rotting funeral flowers to my nose! Very youthful and easy to wear, though it definitely doesn't last.

This is a gorgeous fragrance. I live in Florida and this is a very refreshing scent for living here. The Orange blossoms, jasmine and tuberose are wonderful. It reminds me of a fragrance that would have been worn by the Victorian ladies of yesteryear as they were sitting for tea all corseted with their lace high collared long ruffled dresses. I see them wearing their gaudy rings and big cameo brooches out on their open air verandas overlooking one of the beautiful lakes here in Florida. Classy and dignified are the two words that describe this organic smelling fragrance in my opinion. It is definitely one of my favorites! 10/10

Infusion de Fleur d'Oranger is a favorite of mine. I remember when I was first introduced to it - I went to my perfume retailer and it was sprayed on me vigourously by an over-enthusiastic employee and I was furious! I went home eager to scrub off the over-abundance of this fragrance and a miracle happened - it had morphed into a beauty, a modern stunning and sophisticated scent. I raced back to the store and bought it - much to the delight of the eager employee. Definately worth trying - give it a few minutes to calm down and the beauty will emerge!

Smells wonderful. Imagine a freshly showered body standing in the middle of a field of orange blossoms on a warm sunny day. In a word, this is what sunshine smells like. Very pleasant and safe to wear anytime/anywhere. Prada is one of my favorite brands with Absolue and this one being pretty close to the top. I like the Iris EDP also. The new Amande also smells very nice. This one goes in my top 5 for sure!

The very best flancer to Prada Infusion d'Iris so far, more "fun" than Infusion d'Iris, and already discounted! Well, I have an almost full bottle, to enjoy during my future summers! Den absolut bästa flankern till Prada Infusion d'Iris hittills, mera levnadsglad än d'Iris, och redan borta från hyllorna! Nu har jag ändå en nästan full flaska, att njuta av under mina framtida somrar.

A pure crystalline scent, fresh, makes you feel clean and yet something different and special. Their bitter orange notes, a touch woody and fresh fragrance make this a daily-use light. I use it during the day and always ask me why I carry, it leaves a trail in the air really unmistakable. Its duration is too high and its attachment, but not overbearing, pleasant even for unisex use.

This perfume seems to be a love/ hate scent. A lot of mixed reviews. I'm in love with this scent. It stays fresh and true on my skin and I can pick out all the individual notes. It doesn't turn at all soapy on my skin. This is what Armani Code smells like from the description of others. On me it's a beautiful , sexy scent which has gained me compliments and no wrinkled noses.

Sparkling orange blossom scent, happy and uplifting. On me, no iris, no soap, just joyful orange blossom morphing into a white bouquet, neither dominant in jasmine nor tuberose. First perfume my 20 something son ever complimented me on. Sunny but not sugary sweet. Average longevity in my arid climate. The first citrus genre I've been attracted to.

When I bought this one, I didn't know it was a limited edition...now I've half bottle and I use it only in special days, causa i'd like it'll never and! I've also Infusion d'iris and I think that they're not similar, but both expecial: this one is floral, feminine and extremally fine...I love neroli and so I cant stop loving this!!!

When I first smelled this it made me swoon. Orange blossoms in the spring transport me and the world is beautiful again. Fleur d'oranger is the best neroli I have met. Nothing fake or synthetic about it. Sumptuous beauty in a bottle. Not too tart, not too sweet. Perfect, just as if nature made this one too.

What a delicious summer fragrance! It is reminiscent of the summer nights in Florida filled with the delicate scent of orange blossom flowers! Infusion de Fleur d'Orange is delightful, soft, and refreshing. If you like Claus Porto citrus soaps, then you will adore this lovely Prada confection :)

update: i sprayed this one more time to see what the hype is about besides it being a good quality and classy scent..... It's nice but honestly to me it smells like expensive bar soap. the kinds that are organic ingredients. Maybe my olfactory senses are not yet refined enough....

I bought it just because I love Infusion d'Iris and thought it would be something similar. Alas, I was wrong. It's not my cup of tea. Too dense, soapy, and powdery to me. Found nothing refreshing about it. The only consolation is that I bought it discounted at ROSS.

@JImbonA583BG No, because of the tuberose note which is very dominant in this Prada's version of orange blosson, and yhat means it's very feminine. But if you like white florals, then you should try. I eman the first edition with the green floral box ...
