Infusion d'Ylang

Infusion d'Ylang, released by Prada in 2022, is a spicy, woody floral built on a very short formula. Everyone who describes it finds it spicy, woody, floral and citrus in equal measure, which reflects how balanced the four notes are.

Bergamot opens the fragrance with a clean, slightly bitter citrus brightness. Cardamom follows with a warm, aromatic, slightly green spice that gives the composition its lift. Ylang-ylang is the centre: a creamy, slightly banana-like, faintly spicy white flower that in this treatment stays airy rather than heavy. Sandalwood underpins everything with a smooth, milky woodiness that carries the flower into a soft, dry finish.

It is worn by anyone. In keeping with the Infusion line, it is transparent and understated, which makes it suitable for daytime wear across the year, and it is likely to appeal to anyone who wants a floral that feels clean and modern rather than sweet.
