Infusion de Mimosa

Between memories of scents forgotten too quickly and luminous reinterpretations, the Infusions now offer a sublime olfactory journey every year. Infusion de Mimosa is precisely what Daniela Andrier and Miuccia Prada would call a fragrance of past, present and future, where the memory of springtime mimosa meets the brilliant floral-woody modernities of a future so near...

Remembering beautiful things and wearing Infusion de Mimosa by Prada

From the creation of Infusion d’Iris in 2007 to the creation of a true collection in 2015, Les Infusions Ephémères, the creators Miuccia Prada and Daniela Andrier have never ceased to elevate raw materials that were thought to be a little too forgotten.

The Infusions are precisely the reverse, or the exact opposite, of everything one might expect from a fashion house fragrance today, well, almost. Limited editions until 2015, a collection adorned only with beautiful visuals, and a marketing approach based almost entirely on word of mouth. Bold, certainly, but let us not forget that we are talking about the sublime house of Prada.'

The beauty of Daniela Andrier's perfumed works for Prada hardly needs to be proclaimed, so well recognized is it. Could this be why the talented Prada nose stands apart from all the marketing constraints of perfumery and fashion? No matter. Infusion de Mimosa, like its predecessors, sings the praises of flavors and scents of the past in order to better inscribe their beauty in the present.

I am obsessed, in my work, with the idea of bringing the past back to life: it dwells within us, even though it is gone. It is a matter of translating it without pain or nostalgia, in a joyful way. Daniela Andrier for Le Figaro Madame.

Thus Infusion de Mimosa takes us on a joyful journey through the precious memories of flowering springs, when mimosas covered gardens with their little yellow balls like suns. As the result of a tension between familiar memory and unprecedented reinterpretation...

Infusion de Mimosa: a floral woody that smells like spring

The magnificent Infusion de Mimosa keeps the square glass bottle of the other fragrances in the Les Infusions Ephémères collection. Always dressed in embossed paper, it is tinted mimosa yellow to highlight the sun-kissed color of its juice, seen through the transparency of the beautiful apothecary bottle.

Infusion de Mimosa opens on a citrus cocktail of mandarin, a true signature of Daniela Andrier for the Infusions. However, the citrus notes take on the exotic freshness and delicately spicy touch of a star anise note. At heart, we find the intense floral notes of mimosa accompanied by the opulence of rose absolute, asserting a soft and springlike femininity. These beautiful flights settle into a sillage of woody notes that add a touch of mystery to this decidedly sun-kissed fragrance.
