Infusion de Rose

Infusion de Rose is a light, green rose from Prada, released in 2011 for women. Floral is what everyone notices; about a third also find it green, aromatic or citrusy.

The note list is short and given without stages. Mandarin orange provides a soft citrus brightness, and mint a cool, clean freshness. Turkish and Bulgarian rose form the centre, but in the Infusion style they are transparent and watery rather than jammy, closer to a rose steeped in tea than a bouquet. Mate, a green tea-like leaf, reinforces that impression with a dry, herbal greenness. Beeswax adds a faint honeyed warmth underneath that stops it from feeling thin.

By character Infusion de Rose is a daytime fragrance for spring and summer, understated and clean, and it suits women who like rose but find most rose perfumes too sweet or heavy. Those wanting a rich, dark rose should look elsewhere.
