Infusion d'Amande
Prada (2015)

This is such a dreamy, heavenly scent. I don't think this has been reformulated because my decant from several years back smells just like my new bottle in the latest packaging.

This is a gorgeous, seamless blend that whispers “old money.” This is an inoffensive, ever so sweet almond oil and powder. The powder is the richest, most elegant, finely milled “baby powder” variety, to my nose. (I’m not a fan of baby powder, nor am I averse to it. This, I love, however.) I, personally, find this to be head and shoulders above the Iris in the same collection.

This fragrance is just so delicate and pure. So sophisticated. Pure class, yet approachable and warm. Seasonally agnostic to my nose, if wearing it indoors. Otherwise, it might be more for Spring weather. It’s quite close to the skin, so I see this as a fresh out of the shower fragrance. It feels perfect for lounging at home in your most luxurious PJs. It’s a true joy.

Almond and heliotrope centric perfume. Straight forward. Airy, like a cloud. Slight anise note that seems more like ginger or cinnamon to me. Big Tonka emerges later. Later, a gentle musk. Nice!

The addition of
Almond elastomers to
Linen of iris

Gave a blue tint to
Sexy saintly macaroons
Without damaging

Their sterility
Or their soft, crunchy sweetness
Or so it sure smelled.

Fresh from no oven
Lunarossyl alcohol
Filled the air of some

Medically fresh
Patisserie of iris
Delivering their

Floral marzipan
In oblate hemispheroids
To smiling smelling.

I wasn't quite sure
I was actually there
I guess that's the point.

Bittersweet almond takes charge in Infusion d'Amande unisex fragrance.

So thoughtfully crafted, utilizing the naturally sweet heliotrope to subtly accent the almond as well as the licorice goodness of anise and roasted vanilla-like tonka to give some depth. The musk is tastefully incorporated, not too bestial at all. Does have a powdery quality some may not gravitate to.

Don't normally like to review a scent until I have 'Lived' with it, however this one made an immediate impression.
A delightful, subtle fresh baked almond marzipanne vanilla. Think of a perfectly baked cherry Bakewell tart. This is exactly how I hoped the Prada interpretation of Almond would be. A comfort scent that remains classy. Imagine a domestic goddess producing perfect baking and somehow staying classy and impeccably made up.
More of a feminine scent in my opinion. A great gourmand along the conceptual lines of Lutens' jeux de peau. If this was in a Guerlain bottle people would pay a fortune for it.
As stated at the outset I've not lived with this one. But wanted to give a first impression due to lack of reviews so far. Hope my initial love will last and not turn out to be an ill-advised fling.
