A beautiful aldehyde
I am a sucker for what I call the old-school civet-laden aldehydes, and my vintage Caron Infini parfum is one of the greats in this genre, with a superb floral heart and a lingering base that includes the sort of fine sandalwood that seems past recapturing. So far, Infini can be had for less than an arm and a leg on ebay. If you are an aldehyde fan, I recommend it. Both the mini I acquired and the 1 oz were sealed and in great condition at a price short of thee digits (:
(edited) I neglected to mention the bottle, a stylized angular infinity symbol, one of the most beautiful bottles in perfumery. I am sorry to report that the plastic stopper has separated from the glass portion of the cap, which is quite heavy, twice. I'm planning to decant the juice, fill the bottle with colored water, and epoxy the stopper back on for use as a display piece.
