A Citrus Aromatic Fragrance
Opoponax
Opoponax is an enigmatic resin extracted from the roots of the Commiphora erythraea tree, native to East Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. Its aroma is complex, with notes reminiscent of incense, myrrh, and a subtle sweetness that evokes caramel or molasses, making it a cornerstone in perfumery for its depth and warmth.
Orange Blossom
Orange Blossom emanates from the creamy white flowers of the bitter orange tree, native to North Africa. Its aroma is both fresh and sweet, with hints of citrus that soften into a floral whisper, reminiscent of early morning dew on blossoms.
Neroli
Neroli is extracted from the blossoms of the bitter orange tree, capturing a fresh yet warm aroma with hints of sweetness. Its fragrance is both green and floral, evoking springtime in an Italian garden. This essence has been cherished for centuries, blending seamlessly into compositions that range from classic to contemporary.
Application Tips
One or two sprays are sufficient as this fragrance projects well. The citrus notes are most prominent in the first hour but gradually give way to a warm, comforting base that lingers throughout the day.

“A Prada fragrance should feel like a Prada garment — quiet luxury that reveals itself through quality.”
Daniela Andrier is a master perfumer at Givaudan and the creative intelligence behind many of Prada's most distinctive fragrances, including Prada Amber and Infusion d'Iris. Italian by birth and Parisian by training, she brings an intellectual rigor to her compositions that distinguishes her from her peers. Andrier treats perfumery as a form of conceptual art — her fragrances are cerebral, precisely calibrated, and unapologetically sophisticated. She has been the principal nose for Prada for over two decades.
