Infinite Spicy by Olivier Cresp

A scent that is leaps and bounds beyond most fragrances in the non niche marketplace. Really well constructed and never seems like a budget type cologne. There might be some who would voice some concern over star anise and that oft talked about liqourice smell. Whatever Cresp did with Infinite Spicy to rein in the anise and avoid that dreaded liqourice all sorts aroma is worthy of praise. As is the opening blast which is nothing short of heavenly. The drydown is probably more niche than anything else, with not a cheap facet anywhere. Pleased now to add another stellar fragrance to my top 10 or so. Something about the overall cumulative effect which hits the spot and when that happens it is a wonderful experience. Out of the entire VIP Club range, this one is an easy winner. I have them all and only Black Leather would come second behind Infinite Spicy. Overall - 9/10 (could be 9.5 or 10 if the opening lasted)

What a beautiful fragrance. I love it very much. Spicy and very nice. For me all red coloured fragrances give me the same kind of vibe. They all smell different, but somehow give of the same vibe. My red fragrances are this one, Amouage Journey Man, Givenchy Xeryus Rouge, Dolce & Gabbana The One Royal Night and at the moment a 2ml sample of Mancera Red Tobacco. I love each and every one of them. This one for me I love the most. It is a bit more on the soft projection side and stays close to the skin. But wow oh wow it is super nice. If you get a chance to find it for a good price pick it up. I just bought a backup bottle and very happy. I don't really know how to explain it other than it is a very spicy fragrance with a touch of sweetness. I haven't smelt most of the compared to list, but I don't see how this compares to Mercedes-Benz Private.

This is nice, very very nice. There's an opening sweet smell that's so hard to describe, but so wonderful. You get juniper berry with a mild licorice and gingery pepper blast. I get something else as well which I can't place. Some form of fruity boozy liqueur that's left a pleasant memory in the dark recesses of my mind. As this strange blast starts to die down you get the cardamom coming through. As for a woody drydown it's more like a powdery woody drydown. There's certainly something of musky amber at the end. My only disappointment is the longevity at just over 3 hours. Sillage is moderate with 2 sprays to the neck. Mercedes Benz VIP Club Infinite Spicy by Olivier Crisp - Big name for a hugely splendid scent. (Oh, and if you haven't tried it, the Black Leather is also excellent - a smidge better? Possibly)

This is so unique. This is pure class. I can't wait for the fall time to pull this one out again. This is perfect if you want to stand out in any occasion. Dressed up, you will feel like a CEO of the biggest company on earth, smelling like this. For me, this is one of the hardest fragrances to describe. You should test it yourself. Only problem is, that it's impossible to find anywhere. It's sad that this is a limited edition.

Another winner from Mercedes Benz. A beautiful subtle (maybe too subtle) oriental spicy fragrance which has a rather unique scent profile. I believe this is discontinued. It's a shame that the longevity is so poor, but it is quite a beautiful scent that works well sprayed liberally during the evening so you can wrap yourself in its somewhat luxurious scent profile that is both sophisticated and comforting at the same time.
