Prada Shows Their Softer Side with New Infusion d’Iris Eau de Toilette

September 3rd, 2010 by Karen 14 Comments

prada infusion d'iris eau de toilette

Well, I guess you really do learn something new every day. I always assumed that when I was sniffing an iris flower, I was smelling the very same scent so often used in perfumes, but apparently that version, according to Prada, is actually an extract derived from the plant’s roots.

It’s also the main note in Prada’s pricey new Infusion d’Iris Eau de Toilette ($85 for a 100ml bottle), a fresher, lighter, just-stepped-out-of-the-shower take on their famously floral d’Iris Eau de Parfum, which launched back in 2007.

Keeping this iris company are also notes of neroli, lily of the valley, violet, heliotrope, ceder and galbanum (spicy, woody and reminiscent of pine).

More fragrance fun facts!

  • Neroli: A distillation derived from bitter orange tree flowers
  • Lily of the valley: The white blossoms symbolize happiness, humility and purity
  • Heliotrope: These plants follow the sun, turning from east to west over the course of the day

Because it’s so light — almost too light — I get barely three hours from it before it fades, but the bottle’s just so lovely, and the scent so vintage and feminine, that I don’t mind having to reapply it at all. 🙂

If you love other florals like Philosophy Amazing Grace, Clean Fresh Laundry, Tocca Florence, the original Prada Infusion d’Iris or Benefit’s Laugh With Me Lee Lee, you might want to give this latest d’Iris a try.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

      I think you’ll like it… it’s very soft and subtle.

      Got any exciting plans for the weekend?

        Family is still in town so Saturday we are wine tasting in the Calistoga & Youtville area. Sunday we have lunch plans in Cha Cha Cha & gonna walk around the Haight area. Monday they go to Vegas for a few days so I will relax & do some errands. You?

    Oh god, that is an *amazing* bottle. I love the simplicity, elegance, and softness — it really embodies Infusion d’Iris!

    The original is one of my faves, so I’ll definitely be giving this one a sniff sometime :o)

      The bottle is one of my favorite things about the scent. It has this really pretty half frosted effect!

    Ooooh. Covet the bottle, but the lasting power doesn’t surprise me. It was already so light in the eau de parfum form! Have you tried the original, Karen?

    I just bought the Prada Infusion de Tubereuse last week and I’m in love. The bottles are so gorgeous and the scent itself is perfect for me! I bet the Infusion d’Iris is lovely as well – I tried the previous version and it was one of my favourites!

    Anything with Lily of the Valley scent reminds me of when I was a little girl. We had them growing by the side of the house and I would always pick a little bunch of them and put them in a little glass of water. I will have to check this one out!

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
