L'Infante

L'Infante is an airy, lightweight white floral, green-tinged and fresh without using aldehydes. At first sniff, I was sure I got lily-of-the-valley, but it is not among the listed notes. This muguet-like effect is likely achieved by the clean jasmine alongside the green notes. It is aptly-named, very clean and innocent - a May Day scent. L'Infante opens with sheer green notes, imbuing this scent with dewy freshness. The jasmine follows closely, clean, bright and slightly soapy, complemented to perfection by the light, leafy greens. It smells quite realistic - this is not detergent-like despite its clean brightness. The ylang ylang is uncharacteristically muted, but adds some body and sweetness to the floral heart as it develops. The more aquatic peony makes its presence felt as this scent progresses, its delicate sweetness a lovely progression from the fresh jasmine of the opening. Some muted, powdery vanilla adds some sweetness in the later stages, but it is very restrained. It becomes cleanly musky as it fades, soft and delicate until final fade. Sillage and longevity are moderate, and it is a feminine spring/summer daytime scent. A delicate, fresh green-tinged white floral, L'Infante is a subtly beautiful everyday scent, elegant and innocent in equal measure. 4/5.

Agree with dalmajen this is a feminine classy frag with a nod to yesteryear without smelling dated. Full white florals tempered with ivy and a non syrupy black currant. Smells fresh too like being in a green garden with these flowers dripping in dew. I don't like florals but I'm drawn to this. Feels like a special occasion scent. I can live without it but one day ehem I have money to burn, if ever, I might buy a bottle.

A white bouquet in a bottle. Jasmine is the star of the scent. Very delicate and elegant, it is a timeless fragrance. I can smell white flowers with a touch of green and ylang ylang. More feminine, but do what you want. To my opinion, it is perfect for spring. Fresh, it is a pure floral perfume. Office compatible, nice also for a date, a wedding, etc. 7/10

A lovely innocent bouquet of flowers. Quickly dries down to a lotion like soft skin scent. I think this would be a great choice for a wedding scent.

Very aldehyde-forward at first in a way that I don't really love. It also smells like a clean diaper or baby wipes to me, which doesn't smell bad but is not what I would want to pay to smell like. Those aldehydes stick around for quite some time, but they back off a little after a few minutes to let some heavier white florals through. This is very floral to me and I think I get some of the ivy and cassis bud, though those are just background players to the floral notes. I don't get any of the warm notes like amber, vanilla, or tonka; it's perhaps a little musky. I don't hate it, but I don't love it and I don't think I'll be finishing my sample. 6.5/10.
