Who was first? ...the chicken or the egg?
As I spray it on, I notice the amazing similarity to Prada's Infusion d'Iris (2007)...
Since both were born in 2007, the question arises: who was first? The chicken or the egg? ;-P
I like to take a closer look at the two fragrances and try to crystallize the differences....
In a direct comparison of the two fragrance pyramids, I notice first of all that both fragrances have orange blossom, iris, vertiver and cedar wood intus... You can also smell them with both scents.
But Ibitira also has other high-quality components such as rose, white flowers, neroli, musk and bourbon vanilla, which IDI did not have in 2007.
But IDI 2007 still has galbanum, mandarin, pistachio leaf, benzoin and frankincense with it...
In the beginning - the first 5-10 minutes - it is really difficult to keep the two scents apart. In both cases I am directly surrounded by an almost identical green citric note... wonderfully fresh... Orange blossom, vertiver and neroli in Ibitira, mandarin in IDI... Amazing, the resemblance!
But after that you can see some differences:
In my opinion Ibitira is a bit "faster to the point" than Prada's IDI 2007, because I can perceive the beautiful and powdery iris faster, after only about 10 minutes... At IDI 2007 I can perceive the green-citric top note a little longer, about 15-20 minutes, until the beautiful powdery iris follows...
After the mentioned 10 minutes of the top note, followed by the beautiful powdered iris, I find that Ibitira resembles more and more the Indusion d'Iris Abolue... - one of my absolute favorites :-) Because although it is not listed, I can see in Ibitira's heart note, just like in IDI Absolue, a beautiful resinous note... Also here the similarity is absolutely amazing...!
The IDI did not have this resin in 2007. But something smoky, which Ibitira (and also IDI Absolue) does not have at all...
With Ibitira I am surrounded by a beautiful, delicate, powdery resinous iris veil... I mean, also to be able to recognize the rose very delicately... and something cherry-like, which, according to the pyramid, does not seem to be there... And exactly in this point Ibitira now also stands out from Prada's IDI Absolue...
Because IDI Absolue ends with the powdery-resin iris... But Ibitira goes further here... the iris is joined by a gentle and really delicate sea of flowers and the fragrance is now powdery-resiny-floral on my skin...
In summary, one can say that Ibitira smells of IDI 2007 at the beginning and rises to IDI Absolue after about 10 minutes... But then it rises further up and develops with meteotite speed to an independent and unique scent...!
Jacques Flori has done a wonderful job here... perfectly interwoven components, perfectly matched to each other and grandiosely finished...!
I think Prada's infusions are absolutely beautiful, but Ibitira is even better, which is also reflected in the price... and I think, rightly...
If you love infusions as much as I do, you can't get past Ibitira...
I hope I have given some courage to the still undecided infusion lovers...
Ibitira has got a permanent place in my collection and I absolutely do not regret it... Have courage, you will certainly not regret it :)
