Infusion d'Ylang

Infusion d'Ylang by Prada presents a soft, luminous, and airy profile that evokes a tropical seaside resort at dawn. The fragrance opens with a fresh, slightly piercing citrus and cardamom brightness, which quickly settles into a creamy, opalescent ylang ylang heart—reminiscent of coconut water and milk, soft and delicate. As it develops, a warm, slightly salty sandalwood base deepens the composition, lending a subtle oriental warmth and a sense of elegance. Some wearers detect vanilla, tonka, or benzoin in the drydown, contributing to a powdery, creamy-sweet finish that enhances the beachy, vacation-like atmosphere. The scent is light, often intimate in presence, with moderate sillage and limited longevity, making it best suited for daytime wear in summer. It feels like a conversational, transparent fragrance—more like a skin scent than a statement. Many appreciate its gentleness and purity, while others note its short lifespan and fading ylang note, which can feel ephemeral if not long-lasting on the skin. Overall, it exudes a quietly confident, clean sophistication.
