Infusion de Rose

I was genuinely surprised by the depth of this fragrance. It isn’t a fleeting, decorative rose that fades as quickly as it appears, a problem I’ve run into with countless rose perfumes. This one has presence. It stays, and more importantly, it evolves. You can tell that Prada was thoughtful here. Blending multiple rose varieties gives the scent a layered, almost living quality. As it warms on the skin, different facets of rose step forward, sometimes fresh and dewy, sometimes richer and more romantic, making the experience feel intimate and personal rather than static. Now, honesty matters: if you avoid rose perfumes because of their powdery drydown, this does eventually go there. Powder is part of rose’s DNA, and it’s rare to find a rose fragrance that escapes it entirely. But here, the powder feels soft and graceful rather than dusty or old-fashioned, like silk instead of talc. What truly sets this apart is its emotional range. It doesn’t belong to a specific age or stage of life. It’s crisp enough to feel fresh and relevant, yet smooth and comforting enough to feel familiar and reassuring. It bridges generations beautifully, something young enough to feel exciting, and gentle enough to feel safe. This is rose with a pulse. Thoughtful, dimensional, and quietly moving, the kind of perfume that reminds you why you fell in love with fragrance in the first place.

It's a rose that grows in a wild, overgrown garden, with nettle and ivy lurking in the shadowy parts. It's June, but the mornings are cool, and the mist is rising from a nearby pond, covering every surface with crystalline drops of dew. You go to pick up some mint for your breakfast tea. As you pass a bush of Rosa arvensis with your hands full of herbs, the sun rises from behind the trees, and the smells around you join into a vibrant symphony. Do I love this perfume? Yes, very much so. I might be used to a woodier rose, but this green herbal one is my go-to for summer. Even though there's plenty of freshness, there's also an appealing darkness to it, a weird balance of opposites that makes me reach for a spray after a spray. Despite seeming to vanish quicker than a pleasant dream, sometimes you'll catch an occasional whiff a day or a few later that'll leave you wondering: "now, where did that come from?" The only thing I do not like about Infusion de Rose is a pink design. It clashes with the perfume and is bound to make people expect far more sweetness or even fruitiness, where there's none to be found. The faerie drawing is spot-on, but be it in, say, a dark-green color scheme, it would leave a much more harmonious impression.

I debated whether or not I need this perfume in my collection given that I seem to have amassed quite a few rose-dominant fragrances over the years. (Rose and violet are in a very heated battle for my favorite note.) I justified this blind purchase as a way to complete my Prada Infusion d'... collection, and the super bargain price helped as well. This is a complete love for me. It's a rose unlike others I have smelled. This is not as feminine a rose as I'm used to wearing (like Rose the One, Eaudemoiselle, Paris). It has an edge - very green and moderately spicy. That's probably the mix of rose and mint I am smelling. To be honest, I was quite scared of the mint in this before purchasing but it turned out to complement the floral aspect beautifully. On my skin it turns quite soapy, which I adore. I think that Prada accidentally got a massive shipment of soap and said "What the heck! Put it all in the Infusion series." Lasting power is moderate, and I wear it year round much like I wear my other fragrances. If you can find it at a decent price, jump on it!

I started with a mini bottle of **Prada Infusion de Rose**, and now I’ve finally upgraded to the full bottle! This perfume lasts on my skin for what feels like 1-2 business days, which is impressive. While the sillage isn’t the strongest — it sits very close to the skin — that’s exactly what I like about it. It’s soft, non-intrusive, and never gives me headaches. This has become my go-to scent after taking a bath, and I love how it makes me feel like I’m wrapped in a garden of roses all day long. It’s like a personal, intimate scent, something you wear more for yourself than for others. I’m not sure how noticeable it is to people around me, but I can definitely smell it on myself throughout the day. What I really appreciate is how gentle it is; even someone with asthma could be around this fragrance without feeling overwhelmed. It’s light, airy, and has that classic rose water smell — simple but beautiful. Despite its softness, it sticks to my skin really well. All in all, I still love it, and I’m happy I went for the full bottle!

Infusion de Rose captures the timeless elegance of rose in a modern, refined composition. At its heart, the rose is beautifully fresh, its natural beauty accentuated by the unexpected twist of mint and the deep, soothing notes of mate .... The fragrance unfurls with the soft sweetness of beeswax, adding a velvety warmth that balances the floral notes, while the subtle hint of orange provides a bright, citrus touch, lifting the entire composition with an air of grace. This fragrance is a harmonious blend of the classic and the contemporary. It does not last or project but it’s a great pick on days i dont want to wear anything strong. A light intimate scent that only i can smell when i wear it. – Bhavna Darira Chesan

This is such a beautiful rose, very well behaved and classy. Truly, a simple Rose. It’s crystalline, to me. It evokes a very bright sunshiny morning, walking bare feet in a dewy and very well kept rose garden. When a perfume transports me other places just by smell, I know that it’s a keeper. This was a blind buy for me and I am thrilled to have it in my collection. If you are a Rose perfumes collector, it is worth a try. Longevity is mild but long enough to last 4 -5 hours. Sillage/Projection are poor to mild but I like it that way. Full Bottle worthy for Rose lovers!

I inhale and my eyes roll back as I put my hand to my chest. It's that breathtaking to me. At first sniff, it smelled just like my Olay Rose Body Wash. Fresh, clean and pretty. But upon that long, deep sniff, the rose, green leaves and mint come alive. It is what the definition of sparkling should be - bubbly and refreshing but not at all screechy or alcoholic. The scent reminds me of being in the spa of a 5-star hotel. I am reading reviews that this does not last long so I am content just carrying a bottle with my in my purse for frequent touch ups.

I'm a little anxious to try the Prada Rose now to see how it tests on me. Looking to purchase a couple roses this summer to add a rose to my collection. Being a fan to Prada, I only have the Prada Iris fusion and love it. But will be buying more for spring and summer of the Pradas. Was good to read your reviews; I'm slowly paying more attention and learning of all the notes and such. Whereas I never really did that before. Just dwell in the essence Ironically, I have a Siberian Husky named Prada, he's beautiful too !

I honestly don't find this much different than Paul Smith's Rose. This is pretty, but light. Doing a side by side they smell almost the same to my nose. The Paul Smith has better silage and longevity too. My bottle came in a regular green box like the other Infusion scents come in, and not the original box with the roses all over it, so I'm sure this has been reformulated. While it is pretty, it isn't $80 pretty (on the grey market, higher elsewhere). I think I'll just continue to get my rose fix from Paul Smith.

Wow, what have we here? A really pretty green, sweet rose! Does not smell artificial at all. When I spray it I have to think about fine English people watching horse races and having a walk in the rose gardens while drinking honey-sweet tea. Then it also reminds me of those happy summer garden festivals I used to visit in royal gardens here in Germany. Wearing this perfume is so pleasant... :) All in all a very bright, spring-like and expensive smelling scent!

Wowowow so pretty. Need. Love at first wear. A v feminine soft cloud of fresh rose with a soapy but not too soapy note that’s makes this v clean girl Barbie lipstick cloud.. wantwant Edit: I bought. Seems like it makes me queasy in humidity. In the crisp air it’s fine but right now in the rainy season I can’t wear it. Edit 2: seems like the weather is less humid and this is all I’ve been wearing 💕 so lovely

Has a guy a love this perfume on a woman. Rose and orange are a wonderful combination. Value for money the Infusion collection is really good. The bottles are beautiful. The perfume feels special because of the bottle design and smells very nice due to the high quality ingredients. I bought a bottle for myself. A similar perfume is MFK la rose. It is more expensive and more Refined. But it costs more money.

This was a blind buy and a very successful one. I dont get mint at all just soft roses mixed with clean powder and some honey. It starts strong but its staying power leaves much to be desired. I tend to be heavy handed with this one and it doesn't matter since less than 2 hours later you would never know how hard I dabbed it on.

Oh I'm totally in love with this! It's divine! The rose is superb. It's beautiful. Gorgeous. Oh my. The most perfect rose perfume I've ever smelt. I just melt when I wear it. I fall in love with myself, and just love breathing myself in, all day, and night (I wear it to bed too). It so lovely. Bliss.

It cound have been the best rose perfume for me, except that it doesn't last long. It's a fresh and delicate scent - just like the fresh roses in bloom. Despite it's weak longevity and sillage, I will continue using and buying this until I find one that smells like fresh roses with good performance.

I love this scent but it’s probably my weakest perfume, I rarely get hit by the smell after 2 hours. It sits close to skin but it has such a beautiful natural and classy smell. If you don’t mind only being noticed by people who hug you then this perfume will be great for you.

my current summer love - so light and sophisticated - refreshing in a whole different way than the usual citrusy/fruity/aquatic summer scents...just light rose with a touch of mint and beeswax making its smell perfect round and classy sophisticated

I just love this scent. It ́s clealy a rose scent, but it ́s not a "nice" rose, it has something darker in it. Not a heavy or overwhelming scent, - still in the fresh end of perfume notes. A very "clean" scent.

It smells like miss dior 2012 This perfume is what i called “floral done right” It’s uplifting fresh and feminine with good lasting power .. if you want spring scent that smells classy you need this💜

Iconic rose-fragrance, where richness of rose itself is tested against freshness of mint and mate, while all these ingredients are united with warm honeycomb. Exotic, Eastern, dreamy. Unisex.
