Prada Infusion Variety

Mostly cool, powdery and slightly rooty, closer to makeup than to a flower. Underneath that, dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer.

It opens on african orange flower, neroli and orange, moves through iris, galbanum and mastic or lentisque, and settles on virginia cedar, incense and benzoin.

• orange blossom: the flower of the orange tree rather than the fruit: sweet, honeyed and a little green
• neroli: the bright, just-squeezed side of orange blossom: green, clean and faintly bitter

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
