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.
Prada is now among the best-known Italian houses in the world. Yet at its founding in 1913, it was merely a small leather goods shop established in Milan. Today, though it has become a genuine luxury empire, Prada never forgets its heritage. It is therefore at the crossroads of eras that Prada's Infusion d'Ylang is positioned. Resolutely forward-looking, it also preserves a bygone craftsmanship. Like all of Prada's Infusions, it showcases one particular ingredient: ylang-ylang. Here is our review of this timeless, unisex fragrance.

When Prada embraces the androgynous trends of the moment
More than ever, in 2022, sexuality and gender are at the heart of current affairs. Indeed, people increasingly embrace androgyny. The feminine and masculine worlds intertwine to form a single whole. This is precisely what is found in Prada's Infusion d'Ylang. This fragrance is aimed at both men and women alike. It is thus crafted, in a way, like the eaux de Cologne of old. Its freshness travels across the skin and raises a thrill, while suiting all ages, all cultures and all personalities. More than ever, by choosing to offer a unisex fragrance, Prada fully aligns itself with current affairs and with the expectations of today's consumers.
Prada's Infusion d'Ylang, honoring a long-standing craftsmanship
Prada's Infusion d'Ylang is a timeless fragrance, gifted with the ability to go far beyond fleeting fashions and trends. This fragrance thus embodies, on its own, the very quintessence of Prada's style. It is at once very modern and forward-looking, while also claiming the heritage of the past. The result is a poetic fragrance, from which an unexpected breath emerges. While this fragrance unfolds a universal scent, it also carries its timelessness on its bottle. Indeed, its bottle is at once neutral and refined. This allows it to brilliantly address both men and women alike. It was born in 2022. Yet its walls bear Prada's original crest, created in 1913 by Miuccia Prada's grandfather. It reminds us that Prada was once the official supplier to the Italian royal family. Undeniably, Prada's Infusion d'Ylang is a fragrance that helps one not forget...
The sun-kissed, spellbinding scent of Prada's Infusion d'Ylang
Finally, the ultimate strength of this fragrance: its scent! It is a true spell, capable of transporting one, with a single breath, to a paradisiacal beach on a beautiful sunny day. Prada's Infusion d'Ylang smells of vacations, and more particularly of monoi gliding over the skin. Moreover, through this composition, Prada demonstrates absolute craftsmanship and a perfect balance. At first, ylang-ylang is worked in a very lively, incisive way, thanks to the spicy breath of bergamot and cardamom. Yet this fragrance softens in its base. It wraps itself in creamier base notes of sandalwood. The result is a perfect harmony.
