Rhubarb, the new sparkle of the Infusions Prada After vanilla, fig, and vetiver, Prada releases Infusion de Rhubarbe in January 2025, a sparkling variation on its Les Infusions collection. The Milanese house explores here the pink-green contrast of the tart stalk: a vegetable that behaves like a fruit, lively, effervescent, capable of tinting the skin with a bright freshness that never turns sugary.
Infusion de Rhubarbe – Detailed composition
A pink-green rhubarb, sweet-sour to the extreme
This Infusion belongs to the musky floral-fruity family: the rhubarb stalk, both green and fruity, pairs with a tender rose while a base of clean musks ensures the “second skin” effect typical of the collection.
Olfactory pyramid
Top notes: green mandarin & rhubarb sparkle
The opening combines a sparkling green mandarin with a fresh rhubarb accord that mimics the tart crunch of the freshly cut stalk. A touch of citrus zest further enhances the juicy brightness.
Heart notes: centifolia rose & angelica leaves
The heart reveals a centifolia rose with green-petal facets, heightened by subtly anisic angelica leaves that preserve the sweet-sour tension without tipping into gourmand territory.
Base notes: white musks & silky aldehydes
The base rests on the immaculate musks signature of the Infusions, blended with soft aldehydes that extend the freshness and leave a clean veil on the skin for six to eight hours.
Daniela Andrier: sculpting tartness with delicacy
The “Infusion” philosophy
The Milanese creator has favored, since 2007, light yet complex formulas that merge with the skin while remaining legible. For rhubarb, she sets crystalline acidity against a velvety rose and milky musks to achieve a vibrant, never sugary, freshness.
Raw materials & naturalness
– Molecular rhubarb accord reproducing the malic acid that gives the plant its unique vivacity.
– Centifolia rose from Grasse, low-pressure distilled to preserve its green nuances.
– High-purity Givaudan white musks, known for their comfort and low allergenic impact.
The rhubarb perfume boom
Since 2024, the rhubarb note has been winning favor for its unsweetened “pink-green” profile; Prada offers here the first clean-premium interpretation in wide distribution, confirming the enthusiasm for sparkling green accords.
Projection, longevity & development
Projection of about one meter during the first hour, followed by a discreet halo; longevity of six to eight hours thanks to the persistent musks. The sillage remains crisp and slightly soapy as the acidity softens.
Why this composition stands out
Infusion de Rhubarbe captures the paradox of a fruity vegetable: sharp yet tender, energetic yet refined. With its pink-green brightness and second-skin finish, it offers a joyful and elegant option for those wanting freshness without sugar, true to the Prada DNA.
