About Prada Infusion De Cedre
Prada Infusion De Cedre Eau de Parfum is a refined, woody-powdery composition from the Infusion collection released in 2015. It combines the elegance of iris with the warmth of cedar and subtle incense for a fragrance that feels like a perfectly organized walk-in closet made of cedarwood, clean, woody, and quietly luxurious. Despite being marketed as feminine, its woody character gives it a strongly unisex appeal.
The opening features bergamot and iris, with lemon from the general accord. Bergamot provides bright, clean citrus freshness. Iris immediately brings its powdery, slightly metallic, earthy quality that is the hallmark of the Prada Infusion collection. Lemon adds sharp, clean brightness. The opening is crisp and sophisticated, establishing the clean, refined character that will define the entire fragrance.
The heart introduces cedar and incense alongside continuing iris. Cedar is the star note, providing a smooth, warm, slightly aromatic woodiness that feels expensive and natural. Incense adds a subtle smoky, resinous quality that gives the heart depth and a slightly sacred atmosphere. Iris continues to provide its powdery, elegant character, and the combination of iris and cedar is particularly beautiful, the powder of the iris softening the wood while the cedar gives the iris something warm to lean against. The heart is woody, slightly smoky, and deeply elegant.
The base brings cedar again alongside sandalwood, vetiver, and white musk, with amber from the general accord. Cedar deepens into its most warm, resonant form. Sandalwood adds creamy, milky woodiness. Vetiver contributes smoky, earthy depth. White musk provides a clean, soft finish. Amber adds a subtle golden warmth. The base is a sophisticated wood accord, multiple woods working together to create something that is more than any single wood could achieve alone. It is warm, smooth, and incredibly long-lasting.
Infusion De Cedre is a year-round fragrance that works beautifully for the office and daytime wear. Its clean, woody character makes it one of the most versatile entries in the Infusion collection. Perfect for anyone who appreciates refined, understated woodiness.
