Infini (2018)

It's a feminine vanilla that's a bit like Satine by Lalique but much more delicate than that. I love it.

First of all I never smelled original Infini so I cannot compare with this new Infini. Immediately after spray I could smell zesty Orange with very light, almost not present, Pink Pepper then after less than half a minute start smell beautiful juicy Pear. Jasmine is also very light which is very difficult to understand. After start smell something like caramel (maybe Vanilla and Benzoin) and Creamy feeling coming from Sandalwood and Musk. Honestly it's very delicate and light fragrance. I'm not expert of fragrance but I expected something more strong and full of personality from Caron. I can say it is a very well made perfume but in the meantime very common recently style perfume.

On me this opens as a pleasant juicer pear. The pink pepper appears after 5 minutes or so but is very understated. The perfume then settles into a very mild skin scent of vanilla and benzoin. I cannot pick up the myrrh or frankincense on skin, unless it is just that the vanilla smells slightly less sweet and creamy than you might expect. Not at all unpleasant but way overpriced in my opinion.

Caron bending to the pink juice phenomenon. I generally hate those types of fragrances, but this is solidly done. Its a good middle of the road representation of the floral fruity genre. Its not going to wow, but its refinement thats Caron is evident. It stays the course.

I never smelled the original, so I can only comment on this as a standalone fragrance. There is a strange note of "pencil shavings." Otherwise, it is a pleasant enough fruity vanilla floral.
