Prada Perfumes Present a Modern Tradition...
Prada perfumes call upon a gently faded era of powdered fineries, esteemed barbershops and essential oils. Prada, excelling in a tradition of staid elegance and muted femininity, creates perfumes that are delicate, natural and rich.
Amber Fragrances
Most recently Prada launched a duo of amber-inspired fragrances. Prada Amber pour Homme, launched in 2006, was paired this year with Prada L’Eau de Ambree. These fragrances call upon the richness of amber gris, a long-treasured perfume ingredient. For centuries natural amber has been treasured for its fragrant properties. Previous decades saw the proliferation and celebration of amber notes as it was combined with other heady compounds to create ostentatious and darkly mysterious scents. Prada revives this legendary note by letting stand alone. Prada creates a modern fragrance centered around the singular amber note, and the effect is both quiet and stunning. Amber pour Homme comes across like suede. Creamy textures of earthy sweetness mix with crisp, clean notes of soap. In L’Eau de Ambree, the amber is said to be tempered with smoky patchouli and soft woods. Overall the fragrance is creamy, light, ambery and feminine.
Infusion Fragrances
Capitalizing on its excellence in delicate minimalism, Prada creates 
fragrances that are infusions of treasured fragrance notes. Fine notes that were celebrated a century ago are now taking center stage in the line of Prada fragrances. Miuccia Prada, a designer of quiet elegance, crafts fashions that evoke the refined forms and graceful lines of decades past. As a designer who revives timeless beauty using pieces of fashion’s past, Miuccia would only naturally select historically significant and prized perfume notes on which to center her fragrances. These unassuming fragrances speak worlds about rich elegance and refined tastes. Infusion D’Homme is a fusion of powdery irises and smoked frankincense. The effect is like a puff of air from late 19th century gentleman’s barbershop. Infusion D’Iris celebrates that same iris note, but this time with a natural twist. This perfume brings to mind a delicate English garden tangled with wild ivy and flower bouquets. Infusion D’Iris presents a fleeting portrait of a freshly planted iris bulb. The fragrance is slightly sweet, slightly rooty and it peaks slightly with the lemony crispness of crushed leaves. The newest infusion fragrance from Prada is Infusion de Fleur d’Oranger. This fragrance is centered around a classic cologne note—neroli. This the citrus-filled neroli presents itself as sweet, powdered, and softly rich. This fragrance is a wonderful feminine counterpart to the classic neroli-centered cologne Versace Pour Homme.
Classic Fragrances
Prada also maintains a range of classic fragrances that represent 
the core values of this brand. Underneath the look of polished distinction, Prada is all about an understated, contemplative energy. Prada fashions and fragrances are all about power that is not stated outright, but it remains as a strong undercurrent. This power is capable of holding its own against other ostentatious competitors. The original Prada perfume is soft, quiet and creamy. But on closer inspection, this Prada perfume reveals a formidable blend of patchouli, rose, vanilla, labdanum, sandalwood and bergamot. The fragrance holds a complex beauty, while only presenting itself as simple. Prada Intense simply amplifies this complexity so that the sweetness, the darkness and the basenotes are more prominent. On the other hand, Prada Tendre is a toned down version of the original Prada perfume. Prada Tendre is said to evoke a mix of misty iris and wood. Prada pour Homme is a classic effusion of expensive shaving cream from traditional barbershops, fougere notes and warmth.
