Infusion de Figue by Prada

Like the other Prada infusions, this is a closet perfume, a slightly sweet woody scent. It opens with a woody, astringent fig accord with a lovely tiny sweet touch, which unfortunately disappears as it dries. Then it takes a ‘Crayola’ turn with a touch of mandarin (I guess juniper resin and orange peel), and once galbanum settles in, it gains power, dropping the waxy smell and becoming more woody. Projection and longevity are like the other infusions: about 6 hours, soft. I thought I’d fall in love with the fig, but I didn’t; the accord is so fleeting it should be called Infusion de Mirage de Figue. Don’t buy it blindly if you’re hunting for fig, because the magic doesn’t last a sniff. That said, it seemed nice, woody, and unisex for nice days, perfect for feeling put-together without going all out, ideal for work. Pleasant: 7/10 Interesting: 6/10 Versatile: 8/10 Original: 5/10

I bought it out of love for fig, thinking of Prada’s Infusion d’Iris, and thought: what could possibly go wrong with Prada? There I failed. Honestly, when I smell fig, I think of Diptyque’s Philosykos, which I don’t have here, so I jumped in blindly with Infusion de Figue and fell. The opening is pure green fig that lasts 5 seconds, then shifts to citrus (reminds me of grandpa’s cologne), and finally settles into a clean, slightly sweet skin scent, probably due to the resins, but it’s not what I was looking for. It’s not bad, nor the best in the Infusions line, but for fig: zero. Maybe it’s my skin. The trail is very weak and the longevity disappointing (1 hour). I expected more. My advice: don’t buy it blindly or crucify it too quickly because it changes over time, but it didn’t make me happy.

If Paula’s Ibiza and Infusion d’Iris had a baby, it would be Infusion de Figue. I love those two, I own both, and this has conquered me. Perfect for summer, unisex, fresh, green, and light… Longevity isn’t extreme, a few hours (first impression), but I don’t mind reapplying because it smells delicious and clean, like freshly ironed white sheets, the room of a lovely agriturismo on the Costa Brava… I don’t feel the sweet, juicy fig, but rather the fig tree wood or the skin of the unripe fruit. If you’re looking for something sweet, this isn’t it. It’s a beautifully modernized classic.

A slightly woody base mixed with that particular and summery fig aroma. The fig is fruity sweetness and freshness at the same time in a clean formula with no jumps in evolution. The beauty of Prada’s infusions always lies in their neutrality. In this case, that same neutrality is dyed with fig, resulting in a summer infusion. Fig is in fashion for summer, although I believe that combined with Prada’s elegance, this formula will endure.

Even though fig is trendy, I believe with Prada’s elegance, this formula will last.

The fig note is spectacular, a blind buy without regrets, but the resins came out too prominent and gave the fig a bitterness I couldn’t stand. I loved the fig, but that bitter ending made me quickly remove it from my collection so someone else can enjoy it.

It’s an ideal perfume, not very complex. It’s fruity, sweet, and fresh. It simply smells like fig, with a citrus touch that gives it freshness, making it a delicious and very tasty aroma.
