i LOVE this scent. I am a girl and still wear this. this is a very unusual scent for me to like. im usually into sweet fruity perfumes but this one is just so so sexy and earthy. i only wear this when i go out at night and guys always seem to notice this scent on me and they always tell me i smell amazing. i think this scent is very wearable for women too. it doesnt have that cologne like men smell to it. i would say its a very fresh, earthy smell. definitely not everyones taste, but i love it.

I usually wear menīs perfumes or Clean perfumes because I canīt stand sweet, heavy scents on me. My skin boosts every heavy or sweet-smelling ingredient of any perfume and I instantly smell overpoweringly sweet. To avoid this effect, I have to choose my perfumes very carefully. To find a good perfume, that creates the balance between too "green and fresh" and too "masculin" and at the same time not too sweet or heavy, thatīs difficult! And the perfume has to "cooperate" with my skin, meaning developing in a good way when I spray it on.
Pradaīs Infusion dīhomme does a pretty good job. Smelling clean and soapy with the tiniest hint of woodsy undertones. Overall fresh, like "out of the shower", but very subtle and wearable. I wouldnīt define it as overly masculine. It smells divine on my skin and is one of the few perfumes I like to wear. Suitable for office, daytime, winter or summer (although I prefer even lighter fragrances and fruitier fragrances in summertime). I donīt have to worry about smelling too heavy or sweet and always feel comfortable when wearing this perfume. Highly recommended.

I found a gift set of this at tjmaxx today a 3.4oz spray and lotion for $20.00 I was so excited and when I got out to the car I opened it and discovered it was homme not femme lol I sprayed it and I thought it could be unisex until the drydown and then it becomes masculine I gave it to my teenage son and he is happy I'm going back to see if they have the femme version I seen other prada gift sets on discount. I'm not mad because how likely is it to find a 3.4 oz bottle of prada for $20.00!

I got this fragrance on discount in ginormous EDT 750ml edition, and so far I am really enjoying it for everyday wear. It is very soapy, and as such not really masculine, but also not particularly feminine. This is a true unisex imho, and a very classy one! Sillage is ok, not projected very far. However, the longevity is quite good.

Very reminiscent of all the Infusions family which all share a lovely soapy cleanliness note I happen to love. Though termed "pour homme" there is nothing typically citrus/lavender or (gasp) ozonic about this formulation and it is absolutely unisex. Minimal leather. Just clean soapy, like a very nice moisturizer base. I wear this when I want an unobtrussive, unchallenging (yes, some of us can't wear skank monsters *every* day) but very pretty scent. Nice longevity and quality of the composition means the scent doesn't break down on my skin by the end of the day.

I *kind of* like this.
I have a male friend who wears women's deodorant(Secret and Dove). He says that the men's deodorant is too harsh.
Infusion d'Homme smells like this - a man wearing women's deodorant. It's not a stand out, unique smell. I would never call it sexy or find it comforting on a man. But it's not as harsh as some men's fragrances.
I would never suggest this for a guy as there are so many other more interesting fragrances to choose from for men, and while it seems a little more fitting for a woman to wear - it's pretty plain and reminds me of deodorant.
Would not purchase or recommend to someone but I wouldn't be offended if I was in a crampt elevator with someone wearing this.

I really enjoy this fragrance. I find it is nice and clean, kind of soapy. One of the best clean smelling fragrances in my opinion, it smells like linen. It is still masculine but has nice citrus notes in it. Staying power is okay but I am in love with it.

Lovely. I bought mine in a gift set too, but I never use the other stuff as I think that would make it too strong. I am a woman who likes to wear men's scents. While I have gotten more compliments while wearing other scents, I really enjoy wearing this one. It is sensual and I like the Iris and the Vetiver. The citrusy and clean elements make this much less masculine than it is.

I got this fragrance in a sample size for my boyfriend when I ordered from Ulta, but I didn't expect much from it. As soon as I smelt it I fell in love, I think I might like it more than my boyfriend does. I can't explain the smell. It smells masculine but not so masculine that a girl can't pull it off. I can't stop sniffing my wrist! I just love this scent and will be purchasing a full size bottle for my boyfriend. Just one more reason to get super close with him :)

Smells like French soap at first, then like something from the 1940's and then like inside of old luxary luggage. At it lasts quite a while, 11 hours at least. I thought I'd like this one because of iris in it, but it's too cold and annoyingly sterile for my taste. I prefer my iris to be warm, like in Dior Homme.

I bought the Infusion d' Iris at Epcot Center while on vacation this summer and they gave me samples of this. It smells wonderful on DH and is a nice change from his usual Aqua di Gio. Not overpowering or musky, just fresh and sexy.

Very, very sensual... I enjoy it even more than Infusion d'Iris, the first one, made for women. To me, Infusion d'Homme is simpler, and sexier. I wear both, and although this one, like Infusion d'Iris, lasts longer on my cuff than on my wrist, I will buy it again and again...

I love this scent (I'm a guy, btw). I used to be a huge fan of niche brands like Comme des Garcons and Le Labo, but after buying this, I sold my other fragrances on ebay because this is the only one I wear. This is a really fresh scent that smells clean, and unlike most fragrances, it doesn't give me a headache.
I don't have a very sharp nose when it comes to detecting notes, but to me, it smells lemony and baby powder-like. The packaging is classy and fuss-free. The only thing I don't like is the paper label (and the paper covering the cap) because it gets dirty when I leave it in my toilet bag.

On my skin it does smell very like the female version of Infusion d'Iris, one of my favorites, but dry down takes away the incense/iris aspects and I end up with basically a nice, clean men's scent. It's not different enough in dry down to keep.

Love this--I have both the men's and ladies' versions and like the men's version a little better although I love them both!! Very clean and modern yet classic!

I first tried this before it launched and fell in love. I couldn't wait to take it home and try it on my husband, and I was not disappointed. On his skin, it is a very clean, soft, almost-soapy scent and the Benjoin (powdery aspect) hums along right through the dry down. The lasting power is tremendous. I find Infusion D'Homme to be sexy in a clean-sheets-Sunday-afternoon sort of way. I love it on him, even more so than on me.

Love love love this cologne!! It smells like a man that just stepped out of the shower, yummm! Like another poster also stated, I fell in love with it the instant I smelled it. Highly recommended! I will have to check out Infusion D'Iris.

Hmmmmmm....judging from the reviews, I am the only one disapppointed by this. I did not think this smells much like the Infusion D'Iris for women. It smelt boozy, sharp and light- like spraying whisky or cognac on my skin. It's a shame - I thought that if I love the ladies' scent I could sometimes wear the men's which no doubt would be abit different. But no way .

It is supposed to smell like the boyfriend of D'Iris the morning after - having stayed over at Iris's, BF uses Iris's soap to wash himself (see the Wallpaper article link from Nowsmellthis). For a fragrance that appears so minimalist it has a lot of twists and turns - it opens up with powerful iris and a bit of clean smelling soap (like those fragrance free baby soaps), at the 5th hour mark there is an enjoyable interplay between iris and vetiver, vetiver having the upper hand. At close to the 24th hour the benzoin / incense basenote takes on the quality of a subtle musk - not unlike TBS White Musk, but extra dry. I really really love it.

I've been trying to find a scent for months and I think I've finally found the perfect one. I like spicy, warm, Oriental scents. Nothing floral, nothing green, nothing foodie, nothing overly "perfumish". I went to Sephora and smelled around... ended up with a bunch of samples but nothing really hit the spot. I tried the Prada EDP (the women's version) and it wasn't bad, it was just a little too... typical? It had a lot of spicy incense notes but after it dried down it took on that sweet, powdery finish that so many perfumes digress to. When I read about Infusion d'Homme I thought it might be the perfect balance. And it really is. It maintains the warm incense notes through dry down and never gets powdery or wispy. I wore the sample for a week and went back today and bought a full-size bottle.
UPDATE: I can't tell you how much I love this. It's so subtle yet so distinct. I've gotten so many compliments since I started wearing this, and even after 10+ hours I'll catch the scent myself and it smells exactly the way it smelled when I put in on that morning-- rich with incense, NO powder, NO soap, NO flowers. I love it. I just absolutely love it.
