Oolang Infini

Off the top this is a breath of fresh air. A definite tea note, but i would almost say earl grey rather than oolong, due to the bergamot that accompanies it. Its very light, and almost plays a little hide & seek game, where its light & barely there, and then smokey, woodsey, and very substantial for a spell. a few minuites in it reminds me a little of annick goutal encens flamboyant, and then it mellows and the refreshing tea & smooth "grey" woods return. The leather is dry, and almost makes me think of pearly grey suede. Oolang infini gives a feel of a somehow cool, but cozy and contemplative scent, that plays in waves, and unfolds gently from fresh and light, to smoky and complex in the drydown, like the conclusion of a good book. And indeed, i smell the leather binding, and the evocation of a memory here... Cold winter sunlight through the window, and the scents of leather & good tea, a blanket and a fire, when ocassionally i catch a rouge whiff of cold, fresh air that brings juniper, & smoke. A lovely fragrance, i believe it would be great on a man, although it worked better for me than my husband. It does come & go quickly, which gives it a casual feel, but i too would love to see how it would do in a higher concentration. Beautiful fragrance.

Oolang infini is currently the only 200ml Atelier Cologne I own and which I regularly wear. It is probably one of the most intimately calming experiences I have come across, while still feeling refreshing and energising. I am surprised no one has pointed out the fact that this is essentially a musk fragrance with fresh top notes, Atelier even lists it on its French website as part of the 'musk collection'. Indeed it also acts like a musk heavy fragrance, binding to the skin nicely but not really projecting much. So the opening is very fresh and feels really invigorating to spray on, bergamot with a touch of a green floral twist. However it doesn’t stay tart or green, but rather settles to a very nice tea accord, not really oolong, more like oxidised slightly gunpowder-like luxury black tea you may find at a hotel breakfast buffet. I also get some slight fougere like undertones in the dry down reminiscent of something like Acca Kappa White Moss. To my nose it is pure harmony, the type of scent I never regret spraying on on any occasion, early in the morning but also before bedtime. Fantastic!

I really want to love this, but you have to lay ot on thick to get any kind of projection or longevity. I tend to think most of the complaints on this site about those aspects are way overblown, but not in this case. It's not the worst, but I still consider it a negative. I definitely enjoy the scent itself though. I think what I like most about this is the leather note; it gives it a bit of a smoothed out backbone. It has a great all-around leathery, slightly sweet, tea mixture that is pleasant with a hint of intrigue. This also bears a strong resemblance to Commodity Moss black but with a leather foundation instead of oak moss... so much so, that I could never justify owning full bottles of both. I don't even know which I prefer but Moss came first, so that ship has sailed. The oak moss in Moss makes it just a bit sharper and bifurcated as opposed to this one which is a bit rounder and more unified. Hard to find in stores, but well worth taking a flier on a decant on the Bay. FBs are reasonably priced there too, and at online discounters. Me: 6 foot,205, brown hair & beard.

i never drank oolong tea so i don't know what to expect from Oolang Infini. but wow it turned out that i really like this scent. a completely fresh spicy scent, perfect unisex fragrance. not really sure which note makes this one have spicy aroma, the tobacco blossom perhaps? in my imagination tobacco blossom will make this one smells like cigarette, but i was wrong, it didn't smell like cigarette at all. i wear this to the office, on a date night, to the cinema, at the gym, Oolang Infini really fits every occasion. i saw someone said Oolang Infini reminds him/her with L'eau Par Kenzo. I guess they both of them are not too similar, L'eau Par Kenzo is more has the skin scent than Oolang Infini. Sometimes L'eau Par Kenzo smells even more like human sweat but in slightly good way. Hope you know what i mean.. unfortunately sillage and longevity are poor. I have to wear this quite much so i can smell the scent on my nose, just to immediately dissapear. very sad, but i still really like this one

Brisk fresh air. This feels and smells like you are on top of a moutain or hill in Yosemite or sequoia national park and a light cold gust of wind blows through your area. I live in Socal where temperatures can reach 110°F so I love summer scents like this. It feeling like you aren't wearing anything while still smelling nice. People that say they get poor performance must have extremely dry skin because this easily last 8+ on me without having to put my nose right up to it. I can see why people would call this generic, but let's face it. The majority of people don't wear fragrance and the ones that do will go designer, so this already stands out from those. I travel to Europe, Asia, and the Middle East a lot for work and since I started collecting in 2012 I've only smelled about 30 people that wore a Niche fragrance. Mostly in the middle east since they wear them heavy. So unless your whole town, city, or workplace wears niche you will smell unique
