Infusion Mandarine

Infusion Mandarine by Prada is a bright, photorealistic citrus fragrance centered on green mandarin peel, orange blossom, and a clean, powdery base. It opens with a zesty, slightly bitter note that feels like freshly peeled tangerine—natural and unprocessed, with a soft, soapy lift from the white floral and resinous accords. The scent is linear and delicate, making it feel airy, refined, and easy to wear during spring and summer. While some find the dry-down to be flat or overly powdery, many appreciate its accurate portrayal of mandarin rind, not juice, and its subtle, elegant presence. The projection and performance are weak; it fades quickly, often leaving only a faint trace on the skin after an hour, which is a recurring point of concern for users. Still, for those drawn to realistic, fresh citrus scents with a restrained, minimalist character, it offers a unique, crisp elegance that stands out among mass-market citrus fragrances.
