Infusion d'Amande Prada 2015

Despite numerous very nice and meaningful comments now also one from me? Yes, because the fragrance is one of my favourite "always-walkers" and therefore he deserves it.

Infusion d'Amande is one of those fragrances that have been with me for quite some time. As soon as the days get a bit colder and darker, the first gingerbreads are in the supermarkets (which can happen surprisingly early in the year, depending on the supermarket...) and I generally long for more cosiness again, I pull d'Amande out of the back corner of the cupboard.

THE Smell
D'Amande wraps the wearer in a delicate almond powder (similar to the crushed almonds you can buy for baking). Heliotrope and tonka underline the marzipan note, but probably also account for a significant part of the sweetness of the fragrance. This is then somewhat muted by the added star anise. Yet d'Amande is not an overwhelmingly sweet fragrance. I wouldn't call him a pure gourmand either, as there is always a delicate "clean note" noticeable.
I can't see any fragrance that is worth mentioning, d'Amande has a largely linear effect on me with a restrained sillage and a shelf life of about 5-6 hours. All in all, I find the fragrance rather feminine.

In spring and summer I do not use it, too much the almond awakens my association with Christmas cookies and cosy, warm rooms. In autumn and winter it is therefore used all the more frequently. Infusion d'Amande is my everyday scent in these seasons, which I use almost daily in the office, which never bothers me and never becomes too much. On the contrary: a fragrance that gently envelops me and, thanks to the typical DNA of this Prada line, appears powdery and clean, but not too synthetic
And so I also hope that my environment will perceive the scent on me: a delicate touch of almond combined with a feeling of cleanliness and comfort.
