Infusion d'Iris (2015) vs Shalimar Eau de Parfum

Infusion d'Iris is a polarizing iris fragrance with a distinctive powdery profile, though the 2007 and 2015 versions offer only minor differences that don't justify significant price premiums between them. While some find it uniquely interesting, others experience nasal irritation and feel it underperforms compared to Prada's discontinued offerings.

Shalimar is celebrated by the r/fragrance community as a landmark fragrance that deserves recognition despite its age, praised for its sensual character and impressive performance. The community appreciates it as a historic female-marketed perfume that breaks the mold of contemporary fragrances, with strong longevity and a beautiful evolution throughout wear.
