Infusion de Vetiver

Infusion de Vetiver opens with a bright, bracing quartet: vetiver, tarragon, ginger and pepper. The vetiver here is grassy and clean rather than smoky, lifted by tarragon's green anis edge and a ginger-pepper spark that gives the top its fresh-spicy character. Because no separate heart or base notes are listed, the composition reads as a direct, linear infusion — the opening accord carries through and softens gradually rather than transforming in stages.

The stated accords tell the story: aromatic at full strength, fresh spicy close behind, then woody, earthy and a distinct anis facet from the tarragon. This suits collectors who want a transparent, herbal vetiver for warm weather and office wear, and fans of the Infusion line's minimalist style. Those seeking a deep, resinous or smoky vetiver root should look elsewhere. A 2010 men's release, now discontinued, worth sampling if you value restraint over density.

Prada Infusion de Vetiver 以香根草、龍蒿、生薑與胡椒開場，前調就是全部：青草般的乾淨香根草，被龍蒿的綠色茴香感托起，再以生薑與胡椒添上辛香火花。由於沒有另列中調與後調，整體走線性路線，開場的草本辛香會逐漸柔化，而非分段轉變。

香調結構以芳香最突出，其次清新辛辣，再來木質、泥土，並帶明顯茴香氣息。氣質透明、克制、偏草本，適合春夏與辦公室，也適合喜歡極簡香根草的人；想要濃重煙燻或樹脂感香根草的朋友則未必合適。2010 年男香，現已停產，值得先試香再入手。
