Prada
A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Italian bergamot cuts through immediately with sharp, zesty clarity, accompanied by a general citrus brightness that feels almost luminous. The effect is clean-slate freshness—think morning dew on grapefruit skin—with no spice yet visible.
The cassumunar ginger emerges with a gentle warmth, complemented by cardamom's subtle pepper and slight sweetness, transforming the composition from purely fresh into something more contemplative and grounded. A faint greenness blooms here, as though the citrus has aged slightly, gaining an herbal complexity.
Haitian vetiver takes centre stage, its earthy, slightly tobacco-tinged character settling into the musk base, creating a softly woody, skin-like finish. The spice and citrus fade to whispers, leaving only a refined, intimate scent that clings rather than projects.
Infusion de Vétiver arrives as a restrained whisper rather than a declaration—a fragrance that trusts its wearer to lean in close. Daniela Andrier has crafted something deceptively simple: Italian bergamot and citrus fruits form a bright, almost translucent opening, but the real architecture emerges as cassumunar ginger and cardamom begin their subtle interplay in the heart. These aren't bombastic spices; they're warm, slightly peppery undertones that add dimensionality without aggression, lending the composition a sophisticated restraint.
The true revelation is the Haitian vetiver in the base—earthy, slightly smoky, with an almost mineral quality that grounds the citrus and spice above it. Rather than creating an overtly woody character, the vetiver acts as an anchor, preventing this fragrance from drifting into mere freshness. Instead, you're left with something green and verdant, reminiscent of pruned garden leaves after rain, with a gentle woody undertone threading through.
