Reviews of Infusion de Fleur d'Oranger by Prada

Infusion de Fleur d'Oranger by Prada is a floral fragrance for women with a laundry-soapy kind of vintage aura based on a fruity-floral-aldehydic accord of citrus, neroli, jasmine and tuberose plus powdery notes and the musky-suedish chypré synth Serenolide's vibe. This poetic and kind of Victorian (in vibe and evokative power) soapy floral is an olfactory reminiscence of several great floral aldehydic chyprés of the past a la Ysl Paris (1983) or Chanel N.5 (1921) but it possesses an its own really laundry powdery orangy more modern and minimal specific characteristic (conjuring me as well several contemporary creations focused on the soapy vintage floral theme a la Eau de Fleurs Neroli by Chloé appointed in 2010, Fleur D'oranger Intense by Fragonard issued in 2016 or Askett&English Askett Absolute). The aroma is basically soapy musky with "neutral" floral accents (soapy jasmine and neroli dominant imo), the typical neroli-accent and a tad of suedish dusty-talky iris-veined nuances. Along the way the smell becomes gradually muskier and muskier and that is the party I endly prefer since at that point the soapiness slightly recedes and all that subtle floral velvety sophistication is finally soared higher by this rising sort of Kurkdjianesque subtle white muskiness. This is a fragrance for a sober romantic mature woman which I imagine white laced dressed and with a large floral hat while walking along the alleys of a victorian english garden. A romantic nostalgic transpatent fragrance eliciting sense of peace and cleanliness.

Orange blossom and neroli try to give a smiling face on the pretty but downcast Infusion d'Iris.
It doesn't work.
Infusion wins out, leading to one of the most confused and repellant drydowns I've smelled in ages.

The core note that defines this creation most and foremost is the orange blossom, which is no surprise as it is what gives this product its name. The opening also features a neroli in the background, with a nice mandarin oil and whiffs of Meyer lemon also featuring here.

Later down the track a mandarin is added in, assuring a strengthening of the citrus, and adding further depth. The floral notes intensify, mainly derived from a bright green, as well as a lihht and elegant tuberose, add longevity and texture.

I get moderate sillage, good projection, and an excellent eleven hours of longevity on my skin.

A summer scent that is not extremely creative, but pleasantly bright and elegant with unexpectedly good performance. 3.25/5

Take the Infusion Mandarine scent and remove the citrus elements entirely, and add extra non-citrus-y flowers...and voila! you have Infusion de Fleur d'Oranger.

This one is a more aromatic, cerebral experience, a logical alternative to Infusion Mandarine and others like it. Neroli, orange blossom, tuberose, and jasmine bring this Infusion scent into a prettier territory that leans more feminine than I personally, as a man, would feel comfortable wearing.

Didn't think much of this one when it was received in a swap. Man , was I mistaken. This will get a lot of wears in the warmer weather. The jasmine and neroli jumps out at you, accompanied by the orange blossom note caught my attention after the first spray. My girlfriend likes this one also. Better watch my back. Lol

Loved it in Italy I bought this in Milan, Italy, and maybe my surroundings altered my olfactory sense, because while I LOVED it enough to spend more on this fragrance than I'D EVER SPENT on any perfume, by the time vacation was over, I wondered why I'd been so in love with it. When I first spray it, it's a wonderful, fresh citrus scent, but it quickly fades into something a bit nauseating, a children's orange Tylenol smell, as I've seen one review describe it. BUT, since it was my first designer perfume purchase, I'm saving it as a (very expensive) souvenir, and I spritz it on every once in a while.Pros: Citrus and floral scents are delightfulCons: Scent changes quickly"

I don't know... But I think this one better than the "first Infusion"... Maybe it's really *more fun* as said before and this is what it makes more wearable I guess... It's a good beautiful and simple fragrance...

Chemical at first. Try to ignore. Settles beautifully to a level of refinement that is understated and dead classy. This is a fragrance for sun-kissed skin, greek islands, azure skies. What did Jackie O wear? Dreams are free.

Truly charming, more "fun" than Infusion d'Iris. This is just a flanker, and it is a great pitty! The best of the flankers of Prada Infusion so far IMHO. I have a whole bottle while this one is leaving the stores!

Two tumbs up from me!

Not bad, overall.

Immediately, the opening shared by the other Prada "Infusions"-- here one of fizzy and dry citrus, makes this seem a perfume variation on Mandarine Orange Seltzer. Not a bad thing, in my book.

That does persist for an heroic time, I'd say close to an hour. Again, not bad. The dry down period is lovely and persistent, and even in cold weather, this one lasted several hours. Better than not bad.

Is it complex? no. Challenging? nope. Offensive? Hardly. Is it a straightforward orange blossom scent that could be had inexpensively? yes, ma'am. Personally, I own several neroli/ orange blossom scents, and I adore them all. Yet, I do see this as a solid contender in those ranks, if for no other reason than it sticks around long after those other scents have disappeared completely.

Infusion de Fleur d'Oranger is a beautiful simple fragrance.I really love the initial experience of the trademark Infusion metallic tang, combined with the orange blossom. Half an hour after spraying on, things calm down a bit, and a somewhat indolic vibe comes into play. 3+ hours afterwards (varies a bit, depending on temperature) IdFd'O becomes a bit powdery, but in a nicely balanced way, IMO, as the tanginess of the top is still present.This frag is quite long lasting on my skin. I really do not think Fd'O is smartly targeted to women. There is nothing in it that would make men who really appreciates fragrances need some chutzpah to carry wearing this beauty off.

I know when this came out, it did not receive very good reviews and I was surprised because I loved it from first spray. Airy,very orange blossomy and fleshy - quite sexy and addictive. ( Also reminds me somewhat a little of L'heure Bleue for some reason - as does Infusion d'Iris ! ) . I found the longevity to be average - not too bad. My favorite after Infusion d'Iris .

This is beautiful. At first spray you may think that this is just another fruity/floral but the real beauty is in the dry down. After 30 mins or so the neroli gives way to what I can only describe as the most beautifully crafted soap. It does feel like a great deal of naturals are in this composition and the synthetics are of high quality. A simple little fragance with hidden secrets that is most definitely unisex. It puzzles me why so many houses are releasing so many basically "gender free" fragrances aimed at the female market when I'm sure they could increase sales if they left out the gender.Seriously, give this a try but give it time to settle and I hope you will also be saying to yourself "what IS that beautiful soapy smell!"

I like this. I like what Prada has been doing lately though not wearable by all. If we change the date to 1810 rather than 2010, I think Prada is one of the only frag houses that will be relevant. That said, the desire to NOT embrace modern times is disturbing. FdO works well year round with the right amount of sprays, but oveall it is boring and one dimensional.But...maybe that is the point. no fancy ups and downs, just simply, clean neroli heritage goodness. Does what it does well.

One of the most impressive openings of a fragrance (to be fair I am a fan of orange blossom). So much so that I was tempted to buy it 30 seconds after smelling it. I did not, but after trying it several more times it was to good to pass up.I think the citrus, indolic and floral aspects of the scent are well-balanced against each other, and the scent is perfectly suitable for a man. I would caution that after about 5 hours or so, the powdery aspect of the fragrance rears its head so watch out for that.

oops- my review of fleur d'oranger belongs here instead-the infusion is somewhat bland, not much staying power- disappointing

I didn't have much hope for this after the disappointment I had with the Iris infusion... but I was very pleasantly surprised! It smells like a wedding bouquet... fresh and floral, with the orange blossom solidly on top, and it lasts quite a while. If you want a simple, clean perfume that smells of exactly what's on the bottle, this is for you. Sometimes, simple is just what you're after!

It's okay. Feminine iris-powdery, very light. Like a mixup between Orange Rose Water and a light Infusion d'Iris.

Being familiar with Prada No.4 (Fleur d'Oranger parfum) I was hopeful that this would translate that wonderful fragrance into an EdP. The parfum presents a rich, vibrant orange blossom - a largely green fragrance with enough subtle citrus to sweeten it a little. I let my imagination wander and I'm picturing that if this 'Infusion' was successful we could soon see other Prada parfums moving from the realm of the obscure into the realm of the obtainable. After all, Prada No.3 would make a fantastic EdP. But I digress....Sadly Infusion Fleur d'Oranger presents a soft, pale neroli/orange blossom fragrance that is bland and wholly unimpressive. It's certainly not offensive or bad, just disappointing, especially given that nearly every other Prada release is very enjoyable (even with the cheap iris used in Infusion d'Iris/d'Homme). The fragrance stays close to the skin, but I did notice that each occasion I sampled this I got longer than average longevity, at least 7-8 hours. I guess what's most disappointing is that we know Prada is capable of so much more. They have the parfum line to work from, but they chose not to. If I were judge FdO based on expectations it would be thumbs down, but by itself it's an ok scent - just nothing special.

I liked this fragrance well enough while it lasted. Nice and fresh and not sweet at all. It seems to have a similar base to Infusion dÍris. I prefer Infusion d'Iris as it has more character, body, projection and considerably more longevity.

A simple a to b floral, with few surprises along the way.The opening is briefly entertaining, with a slightly contrived and synthetic orange and neroli accord. There is minimal evolution in the subsequent phases, ensuring that ones time with this fragrance is quickly forgotten. This is yet another disappointment from the Prada house.

I adore this. It puts me in mind of Terre D'Hermes, but it's infinitely subtler and more floral of course. IdFd'O is a highly summery fragrance, and I find the interplay between Orange flower and petigrain and the earthier elements last long and well on me especially in the heat, There's something herbal in the drydown, it smells like dry hay and wild lemon thyme and of course the latest thing in fragrance is anything Orange related. Clearly this is a unisex perfumes and I find it much better in EDP. This is the only Prada fragrance I like, in fact I can't stand most of the rest, and I highly recommend it.

Yes, I smell the expected neroli but the dominant tuberose in this fragrance forces it to veer uncomfortably close to the dismal Amarige. After that unfortunate association, it was all downhill and I abandoned any hope of liking this.

Firstly -- I see this as a unisex scent. I have never smelt neroli quite like this before -- the top notes reminded me a bit of shoe polish with orange -- most odd. Why do the notes listed separate orange blossom absolute and neroli? -- as far as I know that's what neroli is. After a while I was half liking this though -- it's sort of quirky. I only kept the blotter for about 30 mins so can't comment on longevity (well it lasted 30 mins). I may go back to this fragrance for a proper test in the future -- it's intriguing me.
