Prada's Infusion d'Ylang, a sun-kissed note for men and women. Prada is currently among the most celebrated luxury brands on the planet. It has delighted men and women since 1913, through its clothing as well as its shoes, leather goods and fragrances.
It was in 1913 that the house of Prada was founded, in the heart of Milan. Today, the house is celebrated the world over for its shoes, its leather goods, and its fragrances. Prada has thus carried on the tradition of fine craftsmanship for more than a century, and embodies the image of Italian elegance. Moreover, Prada is also a timeless brand, at the crossroads of eras. Speaking to all generations, all cultures and all genders, Prada now invites you to discover its unisex fragrance: Infusion d'Ylang. Here is a breakdown of its sun-kissed composition.
Ylang-ylang, the guiding thread of Prada's fragrance
As the name of this fragrance suggests, Prada's Infusion d'Ylang is built around a large star-shaped flower, emblematic of tropical regions: ylang-ylang. Native to Southeast Asia, Indonesia and the Philippines, this tropical plant is synonymous with vacations and sunshine. Indeed, it is found in most of the sun-kissed ambers applied to the skin on vacation. With its monoi-like breath, Prada's Infusion d'Ylang evokes far-off places and travel. More specifically, ylang-ylang essential oil is renowned for its powerful, elusive breath. Indeed, this white flower is very spicy, with a peppery breath also found in carnation. Beyond this aspect, ylang-ylang is also fairly close to jasmine, narcissus and tuberose. In Prada's Infusion d'Ylang, it unfolds a creamy, floral, sensual and slightly fruity scent. Its exoticism gives it a very sensual, almost wild quality.
The other raw materials present in Prada's Infusion d'Ylang
Prada's Infusion d'Ylang is not a fragrance designed as a soliflore. Thus, even though ylang-ylang largely dominates the rest of the composition, it is not the only raw material present in this formula. Other ingredients are also placed in the background, to enhance the various olfactory facets of this ingredient. In its top notes, Prada's Infusion d'Ylang is as fresh as it is spicy. Its fiery, invigorating side is brought by a touch of bergamot, a fruit derived from lemon and bitter orange. Slightly bitter, tangy and sparkling, it is also freshened by a spicy, cool note of cardamom. Nevertheless, little by little, Prada's Infusion d'Ylang softens and immerses one in a comforting, creamy cocoon. Indeed, for greater longevity and softness, Prada's Infusion d'Ylang finishes with a touch of sandalwood. Through this pairing, Prada's Infusion d'Ylang is a fragrance with staying power but never heady, pleasant year-round, including on hot summer days. So what are you waiting for to treat yourself to an early sun-kissed escape? To let a breeze of exoticism drift through your bathroom every day, Prada's Infusion d'Ylang is waiting for you!
