Prada
A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Neroli and bergamot emerge with muted brightness, their citrus oils slightly diffused, as though filtered through silk rather than bursting freely. The top notes feel almost colourless, creating an illusion of freshness that's more concept than conviction.
The vanilla unfolds with remarkable restraint, never sweetening into sugary territory but instead revealing a faint powdery undertone and the faintest suggestion of spice from the angelica seed. It's a vanilla that whispers rather than seduces, settling into a comfortable, skin-scent intimacy.
Musk and angelica seed emerge more distinctly now, their slightly animalic, earthy qualities lending an unexpected sophistication to what remains. The fragrance dissolves into a barely-there musky whisper, powdery and clean, clinging to skin in the most intimate way possible.
Infusion de Vanille arrives as a paradox: a fragrance that strips vanillin down to its most austere, almost translucent form. Daniela Andrier has crafted something that feels more like an idea of vanilla than a declaration of it. The top notes—neroli, bergamot, and citrus fruits—don't announce themselves with the typical brightness of a citrus cologne; instead, they move with restraint, creating an almost colourless opening that allows the vanilla heart to breathe without competition.
This is not a gourmand fragrance masquerading as sophistication. The vanilla here sits in uncomfortable silence, propped up only by whispers of angelica seed and musk in the base—a combination that yields a subtle spice and an almost medicinal earthiness rather than sweetness. The powdery accord (100%) floats through like talc dusted across skin, softening every edge. That 52% freshness rating is telling: this fragrance wants to be clean, bright even, despite its name suggesting indulgence.
