Prada Infusion de Figue Eau de Parfum Review
Prada Figue is creamy, fresh, juicy and comforting all in one. You’ll want to pay attention to this perfume if you love the original Infusion d’iris, as this is a mouthwatering, sensual update for 2023. Plus Fig perfumes are trending and this has to be one of the best in show this year.
Infusions de Figure smells like:
Fig is soft on the outside and mouthwatering on the inside, and Infusions de Figure personifies that beautifully; it’s got a silky-smooth presence guaranteed to get you compliments.
I’ve smelt a lot of fig perfumes in my time, and I’ve noticed many variants of the plant across perfumes. Sometimes you experience the sweet milkiness of the fruit, or you can get the leaves’ sharp, fresh earthy tones. I experience both aromas here, and it’s down to the clever note structure. You get a mix of temperatures, colours and textures that embody the rich, decadent figgy feel.
From the first spray, I picked up the fresh and cold sensations from the spearmint and citrus, but the coolness soon melted away when the sweet, flowering heart of fig and glow of the orange blossom started to shine through, and everything felt warm. Throughout the dry down, you get a big dose of green; galbanum’s spicy side is mellowed by clouds of musk to create a perfume that smells endearing and attractive. I just love it.
Notes:
Top Note: Green Mandarin, Lemongrass, Spearmint, Citron.
Heart Notes: Accord Figue, Fennel, Lentisque, Orange Blossom.
Base Notes: Galbanum, Incense, White Musk.
What’s The Story Behind This Scent?
Infusions de Figure belongs to the Les Infusions collection. The perfumer behind Fig, Daniela (Roche) Andrier, is also the nose behind most of the Les Infusions collection, and you recognise it. The range focuses on the beauty of singular, natural ingredients, mixing them with old and new facets to create something effortlessly beautiful for everyone, regardless of gender.
Fig is the new addition for 2023; I feel like I’ve waited a lifetime for this. There has been almond, mandarin, vanilla, but fig adds a new sensual freshness to the line-up.
Perfumes That Infusions de Fig Remind Me Of:
- Roger & Gallet Fleur de Figuier
- Roger & Gallet Feuille de Figiuer (Discontinued)
- Acqua di Parma Blu Mediterraneo Fico di Amalfi
Is It Unisex?
Prada Fig is unisex. My office spray tests prove men and women love the scent. They didn’t find it particularly feminine or masculine, just endearing.
What’s The Longevity Like?
I put 5 sprays on both arms, and my neck and found Infusion de Fig lasts around 4-5 hours.
What’s Special About The Bottle?
There are so many beautiful elements when it comes to the bottle. My favourite details are:
- Gorgeous pastel purple tinted heritage Prada bottle.
- Matching Saffiano leather perfume cap.
- Mint green inner lid to match the outer box.
