A fresh, elegant vetiver

Story

With Infusion de Vetiver, Prada is reinterpreting the men’s scent in their ‘Infusion’ collection for the first time. The olfactory exercise had already been done for women in 2009, with Infusion de Fleur d’Oranger, a fragrance inspired by Infusion d’Iris. Launched with Infusion de Tubereuse, for women, Infusion de Vetiver is a sparkling, modern reinterpretation of Infusion d’Homme. You’ll recognize the initial fragrance’s fresh, woody and slightly powdery side, with a surprisingly transparent vetiver.

Description

At the top, purple ginger, with fresh, spicy tonalities, is reminiscent of the smell of grapefruit. It intertwines with tarragon, an aromatic herb like a cross between anise and basil. The fragrance’s bracing opening then yields to a heart composed around pepper, bringing a spicy and slightly sweet side. The drydown reveals a fresh, tender and woody vetiver, with a sensation of ‘green leaves crushed in your hand’. You’ll also notice musky and slightly powdery tonalities, like in the original fragrance.

Range

Eau de Toilette 1.7, 3.4, 6.8 and 13.5; Shower Gel 33 oz

Bottle

The packaging reprises the design and style of fabrics from the House of Prada’s archives, with very graphic patterns in shades of black, gray and celadon. The Infusion collection’s signature bottle is topped with a cap that matches the packaging.
