Prada is admired for its signature style of stark sophistication. Using simple lines, minimal draping, and cuts that modestly flatter the female body, Prada has established itself as the quintessential brand of class. And this world-renowned elegance easily translates into Prada’s line of covetable fragrances.

Prada perfumes offer a clean and almost clinical version of sophistication. Each perfume speaks of richness and elegance. While Prada centers each fragrance on perfumery’s most prized natural ingredients, Prada doesn’t indulge in the earthiness and, dare I say dirtiness, of these notes. On the other hand, Prada creates a neatly packaged, squeaky clean version of these notes. The overall effect is alluring and appealing.

Here is a rundown of the top 5 classy perfumes from Prada.

Created in 2004, Prada’s first official fragrance is centered around patchouli. Now if you’re not a fan of incense and smoke, there’s no need to be afraid of this fragrant treasure. The patchouli in this fragrance is tempered with soft and sweet lady-like notes: bergamot, mimosa, vanilla and sandalwood. As a result this patchouli perfume is smooth, silky and sensual.

Prada Tendre, created in 2006, is a softer version of the deeper Prada Eau de Parfum. Prada Tendre takes the construction from the original Prada, but softens the patchouli, amber and wood. As a result, a delicate evocation of breezy sweetness comes through. Prada Tendre is ultimately a quiet version of a elegant and sophisticated perfume.

Iris notes are typically heady, earthy, dusty, green, and soil-laden. But the iris note in Prada Infusion d’Iris, launched in 2007, is scrubbed up to clinical perfection. Infusion d’Iris is basically a clean version of a deep, earthy fragrance. The initial citrus notes are quickly met with vague powdered notes. The earthy iris is then brightened and lightened by these soft feminine notes, so that the effect is like soap. Infusion d’Iris is another perfume from Prada is reminiscent of soap, bandages and barbershop paraphernalia.

Prada Infusion de Fleur d’Oranger, released just this spring, is easily described as an elegant bar of soap that’s scented with delicate orange blossoms. The soft neroli notes mix with jasmine and tuberose. The overall effect is fine, floral and feminine. It’s not a modern perfume, but it ultimately represents timeless elegance.

Released this fall, Prada Eau L’Ambree, is the feminine counterpart to smooth amber cologne Prada Amber pour Homme. While Prada Amber Pour Homme is more powdery, creamy, and clinical than ambery, Prada Eau L’Ambree is similar. The notes suggest that Eau L’Ambree is vanillic and woody, with a touch of sweet florals. While neither amber fragrance is intensely amber-filled, both perfumes are clean and smooth. The official list of notes includes citrus, may rose and amber.
