Infusion d'Homme

This is my favorite after shower scent I own. Super clean and soapy, not sweet at all, masculine and safe for any occasion. I’m on the hunt to find something similar that isn’t discontinued, Prada lhomme and bvlgari blue layered together come kind of close but still way off.

How is this different from the women's? Can someone explain? Like does the vetiver note just pop or something? That's the only decidedly purely masculine note. Any help would be appreciated! 👍 Thanks!

@aretas Quite possibly the vetiver. Has the same effect on me.

This scent is a sleeper. Period. Certainly not common in today's market. I put this on for the first time after a stressful day at work, and it instantly relaxed me. There is something so calming and comforting in this scent—it's so soft and rejuvenating—but I really can't put my finger on what! The florals? The powder? The slow evolution on my skin throughout the day? I don't know... but it's effects are worth every penny I paid to get my hands on a bottle. My bias is that I love powdery scents, but I feel that this could be considered too powdery for some. It's definitely not a year round daily driver or a scent that'll be the center of attention, but it's so fresh and clean that I can't believe that it's discontinued. It's as close to therapy in a bottle as it gets. Highly recommended. Don't sleep on this one if you like powder notes!

To me this smelled purely of baby powder spray, I would have waited for a while to smell the other notes and I simply wouldn’t

I've had this fragrance for about a year and half. At first, to be honest I was underwhelmed. I thought it was nice and clean but maybe too bitter? Maybe not enough sweetness or depth? So I put it away for about a year or so. Just pulled this out to wear it again today. And wow, I changed my mind. This is such a gentle, clean, subtle, and classy Iris fragrance. In comparison to fragrances like Prada L'homme, it doesn't have the sweetness or the depth. But, this is more bright, and powdery floral. Even more clean than Prada L'homme. There is something peppery in here and a bitterness which, in the high heat can come out in a way that is less flattering. I just think it does better on a warm day, not a hot day. Definitely would not be good in the cold or evening either. Prada L'homme is probably more likable to more people. It's an alluring and beautiful scent. This one, sadly discontinued, is a sleeper. This one would be more under the radar. More interesting. Super clean. More powdery. Almost like fresh laundry. For most people, I wouldn't go hunt down a bottle. Like I said Prada L'homme is more likable to more people which is why they discontinued this one and continue to market that one. But if you really appreciate Iris and you can find this at a reasonable price, I would say you won't regret it if you like powdery Iris.

WOW, just wow! They just dont make fragrances like this anymore. What a treat for the senses if you like Clean, Fresh, Insanely long lasting dare I say MasterPiece!! This is not for your average Joe, its a stand out of the crowd, walking on clouds kind of statement. I dont think any otehr fragrance out there in 2026 has the same impact this does , its BIG and Bold but so well done in how powdery and elegrant it is at the same time.

I was gifted my one and only bottle from a friend that also wore it in '09. I've had the same bottle since, kept in its box, and only half remaining. I'd forgotten about this until last month, and wow, I now remember why I loved it back when i was a kid. This is a BEAUTIFUL powdery, soapy, iris heavy-ish scent that's daring for a man to wear, and I love it. It's a compliment getter, one that women in particular will be asking you about. I'm sad to hear that it's since been discontinued, because I have a feeling that I will be going through my remaining half very quickly. It's always the greats that get discontinued. Maybe I'll find a bottle of this on Ebay (hopefully legitimate). Once I'm out, of course. This will be a mainstay in my collection. It is THAT good.

Despite Dior Homme being the first mainstream men's fragrance built around the scent of iris to achieve success, I firmly believe that Infusion d'Homme deserves the crown in this category. In her masterpiece, Daniela Andrier took a leap further than Olivier Polge, the creator of Homme, by steering the fragrance towards a realm of floral freshness. While effectively avoiding any feminine associations, she skillfully substituted the leather accord found in Dior and Silver Iris by Atelier Cologne with a woody note. These perfumes flawlessly embody Prada's style, characterized by simplicity and timeless elegance. With their refreshing allure, they have become my go-to choice whenever I attend a refined event, demanding a suit and a crisp white shirt that perfectly complements their essence. However, their character bears no resemblance to the warm and comforting freshness of sun-dried garments beautifully captured in Serge Lutens' L'eau. Instead, the shirt in Infusion d'Homme feels cool and slightly moist. I wholeheartedly recommend these fragrances to those who appreciate audacious and unconventional compositions. For me, Infusion d'Homme has evolved into one of my signature scents over time. My rating: Highly recommended! (7/7)

Nose Note #340 Nose Note #339 First of all, I also have Eisenberg Diabolique Homme. And I didn't realize that they are similar until I looked at Fragrantica. I smelled them side by side. Damn, they are almost identical, except Prada costs exactly twice as much... Now I also realised that this and Diabolique smell a lot like Molecule 01 + Iris Escentric Molecules. All three remind me of Chile Lays or some other chilli potato chips. Iris often reminds me of something spicy of the same kind. Diabolique is a little more chilli than Prada. Prada goes skin scent quicker and it has less edges. Strong performer. I like both a lot, especially the iris - so much better than iris in Dior Homme Intense. But it's still unisex. Not very manly in my opinion. And I just can't enjoy it fully

Powdery and light refresher with a slight zingy sharpness. I bought it 15 years ago and surprised to be reminded it's a "men's" fragrance as it definitely reads unisex to somewhat feminine. Has a really unique fizzy cola quality after spraying. Doesn't last long.

Best masterpiece of all time: Infusion d' Homme. Biggest crime in perfume history: The decision of Prada, to discontinue it. Biggest shock: It's replacement by the boring Infusion' d Iris Cedre. Most unanswered question: Since most reviewers on fragrantica keep praising the meaning of this soapy heavenly made fragrance and how discontinuance led them to depression (poetic hyperbole), why does the company keep producing new infusion 'boringstaff' and never bring back this insurmountable piece of art??? Finally a rule without exceptions: ALL GOOD THINGS COME TO AN END...

Hey there fragcomm im searching for a sample of this fragrance, would anyone in the US be able to sell me a small decant? Thanks in advance

This is amazing. Honestly. This is the best soapy/powdery (not iris-y though) fragrance on the market in my opinion. Others have said about the babypowder quality, and they're right, but this is the most expensive luxurious babypowder in existence. You get a big wallop of powder flanked by other notes, which I can't quite discern what they are. I've always loved Prada the brand, L'homme was great, with intense being one my my favourite soapy fragrances, but this honestly beats both of them, including Amber Pour Homme. The performance on this is great too! It lasts all day which is interesting for such a fresh/powdery fragrance. This would be a great alternative to a citrus fresh fragrance in the summer, that has the staying power and lasts on clothes. If you've ever tried Comme Des Garcons 'Marseille' which takes the route of a fresh bar of Marseille soap; this fragrance takes that and Prada L'homme and puts them both together. In terms of the other versions of this, I've heard that Infusions d'cedre is the same? I didn't want to take the risk so hunted this down and couldn't be happier. 9/10 for me. It's THE staple soapy fragrance.

it really smells like a luxury soap. in the opening u can fell some neroli, some iris, then cedar... it's very soapy, not in a cheap or unpleasant way, it seems to be a well blended, high quality product. u cant resist to smell your wrist again and again, it's simple and gorgeous. It's also very elegant and it can be easily worn by any gender. good for work, casual or formal occasions, performance is good, i cant complain about it. if u love the clean sensation of a nice, luxury soap grab it if u can, it's very hard to find now. In my opinion Infusion d'iris cedre is different, they are not the same scent. Infusion d'homme sa di sapone di lusso, di pulito, di fresco. È elegante e raffinato, se vi piace il genere prendetelo assolutamente. È fuori produzione, quindi non sarà facile trovarlo..

I've been searching for soapy, clean scents that are either floral- or citrus-based. Infusion D'Homme falls in the former category. I purchased a carded sample on eBay to test drive. It's very well done and performance is good. I agree that it is somewhat similar to Amber Pour Homme, but it's lighter and more suitable for warmer weather. I like it so much that I recently acquired a 50 ml and partial 100 ml bottle. Highly recommend.

Love this one! But it’s not an everyday wear for most men, a special occasion or for certain events. I get a toned down/diluted Prada Amber soapy-ness with a strong violet (not iris) and light baby powder. It’s very soft and elegant and warm. Very “harmonious”. Would be perfect for a spring wedding or brunch at a country club. It makes me feel very VERY clean and inoffensive, It’s been discontinued by this name but the Prada Infusion d’Cedre is the exact same scent and is marketed as unisex. Decent longevity, mild projection, light and airy. I would recommend 3-6 sprays, less it may go unnoticed but more would be overkill for the type of fragrance this is.

Clean, clean, clean. Fresh, soapy, perfect. This brings me back to my formative years. Still have the aftershave that came with the gift package but would love to get my hands on a bottle of the cologne. Probably my favorite discontinued scent.

This is the best modern interpretation of man's shaving foam. Its clean, classy, and elegant. I am not a fan of barbershop fragrances, but this is certainly a great one. This smells like you just shaved your beard with a luxurious razor blade in the most upscale barber in town.

Come on!!! They have to bring this back!!! I am running out of juice 😩.

Heartbroken that this was discontinued, I had a marvellous surprise when I ordered a dupe for glossier you. The dupe smells like this! Heaven! No.657 Glossy by Eden perfumes, Brighton England. Cruelty free and vegan too.

I have a 13oz bottle of it(gifted). Has a kind of citrus smell at the beginning then fades to bland powder with a kind of bitter note. It doesnt smell that bad just really boring. I decanted it into a sprayer maybe it will smell better that way.

Predates all the conversations about 'skin scents' by a decade. While I love the women's Infusion (sadly reformulated now and a bit chemical smelling) THIS was spectacular - dry, powdery, vegetal iris. Took balls to launch this as a men's scent at the time. Such a pity it isn't still being made. One of the greatest ever.

Probably the best soapy clean fragrance for a man ever made imho, considering the price/value. This is the one that first planted the fragrance loving seed for me (long before I went down the niche road). I remember just casually visiting a fragrance stand while waiting for family in a department store and trying a few out, but this one just stopped me in my tracks as soon as it hit my nose. I bought it on the spot, and it was my signature fragrance for about 5 years from then on. It doesn't do much more than emulate the smell of a high quality lotion infused bar of soap with a top end of a great mandarine note. So you smell super clean without it feeling synthetic or cloying at all for a full day. The other infusions are also good (I like Amande in particular) but they do lean more towards a feminine fragrance on the whole imho. If you can't find a bottle of Infusion d'Homme in the field given its discontinuation I can recommend Penhaligons Castille which is a bit different but also great fragrance along the soap bar lines.

Till I got this, Gentle Fluidity Silver was my most complimented frag (also my personal favorite), but since I got this one, not a person goes by without asking what am I wearing.

Sharp, clean and crisp, and great longevity too. Much more prefer this one over d'Iris Cèdre. D'Iris is too soft on my skin in comparison to d'Homme.

I have a full presentation 50ml bottle for sale in EU, if anyone is interested, you can drop me a message.

I have 100ml (approx 80ml remaining). Pm me if interested (uk only)

One of the most evocative and special scents EVER. There is NOTHING like this scent and I have to get a bottle on ebay ASAP. Its the most elegant soap scent ever created. Its so special to me and I am so sad it was discontinued so long ago.
