Infusion de Vetiver (2015)

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. -Edit- Typos/sentences

I really like this perfume.It is very original and herbal (like freshly cut green stuff herbal) *I was thinking freshly cut grass at first as I don't know what vetiver or the tarragon smell like in real life, I could also detect a freshly cut lime of sorts and then realised it was probably the bergamot, and I was trying to pinpoint what real-life smell the green note reminded me of, and then it it me:parsley!Not strong or overwhelming, just enough to make it fresh and lovely and herbal and with the rest of the notes that are so well blended here, the bergamot, the tangerine in the background and of course the iris,this becomes so refreshing and lovely but in a very natural tame way....nothing offensive or too strong, no note that overtakes the other. I would categorise this as a unisex definitely, but unisex in the sense that it truly has no gender, it doesn't lean masculine in any way, as some perfumes categorised unisex can. In a really hot summer day when you want sth fresh and clean that is very natural and balanced (not sweet, not bitter, not sour, not dry, not synthetic), just a beauty in its own right, then this one is for you!

BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT: Same classy, subtle infusions DNA. Satisfying damp vetiver note with strong ginger throughout a surprisingly long wear. Has more projection than the other Infusions. A big YES from me. ——— More.... Good for heat. Perfectly unisex. Only a hint of sweetness. Because the Infusions all have similar DNA, they can seem redundant. While, yes, this one shares the base notes’ DNA, I definitely think it’s a standout. (I, personally, like all the Prada Infusions I’ve tried.) This is more distinctive than the others, IMO, because it’s got a spicy quality. As far as the vetiver note goes, there’s something about the ginger and tarragon that enhance the vetiver note and really make it pop! Please note, you have to like ginger, or you’re not going to like this. My opinion is that it’s 100% worth having a bottle or decant. (Also, you can find minis on eBay for ~20 for perfumistas on a budget.) The discounters have it, but it can be hard to find, so snag it now.

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.

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. Sillage 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 sillage could have been better knowing its eau de perfum. Nevertheless I am not disappointed with it.
