Infini (2021)

Infini (2021) by the French house Caron, composed by Jean Jacques, is a sweet, resinous floral musk for women. Gourmand is the word everyone uses; about two thirds also call it musky, floral and resinous, and a third find it amber-like or citrusy.

Orange and pear open it with juicy sweetness, and black currant adds a tart, slightly green berry note. The heart is white and heady: jasmine sambac and jasmine for a rich, honeyed floral warmth. The base is where the depth comes from: incense and myrrh for a dry, smoky, slightly bitter resin, benzoin for a sweet balsamic glow, vanilla for creaminess, sandalwood for smooth wood and white musk for a soft, clean finish.

It wears as a warm, enveloping scent that suits autumn and winter and the evening, with the pear and orange keeping the start bright. It suits someone who likes sweet jasmine but wants incense and resin beneath it rather than a plain vanilla base.
