What smells like Prada Infusion D'Iris?

I love the smell of this perfume, but it just doesn't last on my skin. Does anyone know of anything that smells similar that I could try?

I just discovered this perfume. Really love it and luckily it lasts on me. Would like to know of similar scents too though.

Well, I'm very jealous. I got a gift set in the Debenhams sale, and it's just running out. I can't bring myself to shell out £50 for perfume that only lasts a couple of hours, but I do love the smell. Dilemmas.....

Could this be worth a try?

I have tried their version of Kenzo Flowers and DKNY and was really happy with them. I use the roll-on type and they last for ages.

Cheap as chips ....

I love Infusion d'Iris too. I now wear Eau de Lierre by Diptyque, which is quite similar (light, greeny, not too girly). If you're anywhere near a Harvey Nicks or Diptyque shop, give it a try! Smile

ReluctantCamper my boyfriend bought me it from the cheap scents website for £29. Grin

Many thanks JetJungle , I have just ordered from perfume parlour. I have tried them before for Burberry original and wasn't mad about the results, but definitely worth a try for the price.

I will keep an eye out for dyptique next time I'm in a swanky shop! I will also take a look at cheap scents. Thanks for the help all!

If they have a matching body lotion I would recommend wearing both as perfumed body lotion always lasts all day whereas perfumes don't. I assume as it penetrates the dermal layer or something!!

I have several bottles of infusion d'iris of varying sizes that have been given to me by people who know I like wearing it. Will definitely look out for other similar scents though.

Just to say that I have tried the perfume parlour version linked above and found it to be spot on. It's also very very longlasting. I do find that their perfume oils are usually hit or miss with regards to smelling like the original but that one is fantastic. Smile
I'm the same in that the original just doesn't last on me at all.

Indecisivejo · 24/04/2015 17:03

Already posted about this perfume on a different thread but bvlgari "femme" is similar in my opinion, I love both!

RC I had a look online for you to see if this scent has it's own body lotion and it does. Honestly you should try doubling up and I think you will find the scent lasts.

nichola15 · 27/04/2015 14:57

I find Chanel no19 Poudre smells similar and lasts longer.

Petitgrain · 27/04/2015 15:17

Yes to no 19 poudre, it's iris-heavy and gorgeous, although lasted about 30 minutes on me. Do you like Chanel no 5 the edp? It's similar, I think.

ElizabethHoover · 27/04/2015 15:29

for a cheapie. i love JLO glow
