Infusion d'Iris Eau de Toilette

I am a gourmand girl, but I guess I am getting more 'mature' in my fragrance tastes. I've seen a lot of recommendations to try this and the notes seemed like something I would not like. Then, one day, I said, "what the hoot" and decided to try it. Soft, powdery lotion, with a hint of sweetness is what it gives me. It's weird because it smells like a really soft and feminine lotion to me. Upon first blast, it has a baby-diaper kind of aroma, however once it settles down it is pure love. I love it because it is different then what I would normally wear it. I wear it on days where I want to be inoffensive, know I'm going to be in closed spaces, want to feel clean, soft, fresh, and/or feminine. I can't believe I kept my heads in the vanilla/gourmand clouds for so long. I am so glad that I decided to try it. I actually prefer the EDT to the EDP because the EDP is more 'rounded' and smooth, however that smoothness makes it not last long on my skin. It also has an oily smell quality to it that I do not like. Sillage: It's not a sillage monster at all. You'd have to be all up on someone to smell it on them, but it's one of those hugging scents, that when people hug you they'd love you. Lasting Power: On clothes, this baby will last a full 18 hours. However, on my skin I get about 6-7 hours of power. Not too shabby for an EDT IMHO.

I am aware that I haven ́t smelled so many perfumes. There are thousands of them in the world. I wish - for instance - that I could be more friendly with italian ones. Looks like they work better on my skin and have more original composition. Anyway, like everyone in Europe I can smell a lot. And as I underlined before in my reviews it is so difficult to find something that plays with you in the same team. Last months I got really desperate because I could not find anything which is interesting. I accused myself to being spoilt and weird, thinking: come on girl, be happy that you can buy a perfume! And yesterday on my way to cold north of Europe I smelled Prada Milano EDT. Oh, I had before Prada Milano perfume so it was not surprise... Well wasn ́t? I got a new friend. A bit shy maybe, not wanting to be in a first line, but subtle and feminine. Clean and charming. Seducing like warm flannel... Hallelujah! I am not weird. Not yet ;)

Finally I decided to review this beauty! I have been wearing it for years and continue wearing and enjoying it. The perfection of this perfume seamed obvious for me, I did not see any purpose to review it so far. But accidently I noticed some negative reviews, so I decided to add mine, absolutely positive one. This scent is the blind choice perfume for me – when I can’t decided the perfume to wear I choose this, and it’s always perfect. I love all notes of it – iris, galbanum, violet, heliotrope, cedar, lily of the valley. I love its soapiness, its delicacy, its freshness. I love how it whispers its presence... I can’t call it sensual, but sometimes the sensuality is hidden behind other qualities and has no need to shout about. It’s a perfume of good behavior and reflection... It's Excellent!

I really, really hate to use the word "fresh"-it normally reminds me of body wash or laundry detergent-but this EDT is really really fresh! Like the air in a greenhouse, air that has been cleaned by a thousand plants and flowers, that kind of green/humid/watery freshness. The sweet, soft violet is the predominant flower here, not the iris root. Comparatively this is a mite less powdery but a bit more soapy than the original, while being generally more floral in character. The woods have that pleasant humid watery quality. I really love this version of d'Iris. I wore it to bed last night and it made me so calm, and happy, it was a treat to put in on after my shower. It lasted for 10+ hours and my husband said, "Wow you smell great!" Give it a try if you love the original.

My favourite fragrance is prada l'eau ambree but it is discontinued and eveytime I order what bottles are left online the bottle arrives leaking. I tried Prada infusion D'iris and could see how it is a sister fragrance and could be a new signature fragrance. I recently got this EDT version as a present and a few weeks later picked up the EDP gift set in a store. I absolutely adore the EDT version and prefer it over the EDP it just smells more powdery, fresh and feminine. It smells classy and oozes luxury even my dad and brother commented on how amazing it smells. Totally agree with another reviewer about expensive soap especially the EDT version love it so much I have the bath salts and when I get in the bath I don't want to get out!
