Prada La Femme Intense, from Prada was released in 2017. The perfumer behind this creation is Daniela (Roche) Andrier. It has the top notes of Frangipani and Ylang-Ylang, middle notes of Jasmine, Orange Blossom, and Tuberose, and base notes of Iris, Patchouli, Vanilla, and Vetiver.
This is beautiful. Truly beautiful. I’m a big fan of Andriers work and this is no exception, I think the way it complements the men’s version is clever also. This is the second time this year that a ylang ylang fragrance has wowed me but I’d say this isn’t your typical yellow floral nor is it in anyway your typical tuberose, I actually found iris to be prominent. I think all the florals in here conspire to create an almost exotic fruity vibe, coming from the frangipani more than likely but the powdery smoothness of iris making it all come together. It’s feminine but not completely outside the realms of wearing for me. I found it to be a very warm, oriental fragrance definitely check it out.
