Prada Infusion Mandarine is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Daniela Andrier. Infusion Mandarine opens with Orange, Mandarin, and Petitgrain, settles into a heart of Neroli and Orange Blossom, and dries down to a base of Opoponax. Prada's Infusion Mandarine carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This is a photorealistic mandarin, rind and all, on Prada's signature powdery base. It's universally praised for its bright, natural citrus opening, but its fleeting performance is a huge sticking point for most despite its undeniable charm.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, clean, and understated profile makes it perfect for casual wear or the office, as it's unlikely to offend. The poor longevity and projection mean it's not ideal for dates or formal events where you want more presence, but it's great for refreshing pick-me-ups after sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Infusion Mandarine bursts open with an incredibly accurate mandarin, complete with its zesty peel and a hint of green petitgrain. As the initial citrus explosion mellows, delicate orange blossom and neroli emerge, weaving a subtle floral sweetness. It eventually settles into a clean, slightly powdery skin scent, anchored by a whisper of opoponax for a touch of warmth.
