Musc Ravageur intersects with Cuir Beluga. A nice in-between, with strong modern musky aromachemicals. Would purchase either C.B. or this.

Smells more powdery than musky at first, dries more-so dry woody w/ moderate vanilla. Poor sillage & value, spring-summer, slight fem lean.

Sensual, attractive, rich and creamy musk with a little hint of baby powder and Vanilla
These rainy days makes me reach something calming and cozy, yet sensual and attractive. MUSC INFINI by Ex Nihilo Paris (Louise Turner, Givaudan 2013) was for months on my “Testing now” list because I wasn’t sure about it. Once I worn it at the gym and it unfolded in a beautiful and soft way, like a second skin. The problem was earlier too cold skin and the weather. So now I enjoy it when it’s warmer. It’s not my gym scent though, it’s not that kind of musk at all but sometimes if I feel that the perfume needs warmth I test it while training.

MUSC INFINI is creamy and warm. The combination of well blended notes is beautiful. Ambrette, Musk, Benzoin, Tonka beans and Vanilla together are amazing. This is not so much baby powdery but there is a hint of it, and not even powdery in other way either but it is hazy, velvety, a bit dusty and there is a little bit sweetness as well. If you are not as crazy about musky scents as I am and don’t have many different kind of them, you would say that this is all baby powdery. Everything is so subjective. Musk is not clean and fresh, it’s rich, alluring and there is a sensual animalic yet enjoyable and pleasant undertone in it. The scent is quite linear but I love it regardless and all the scents doesn't have to be so complex with three different stages. Sometimes I need this kind of beautiful simplicity of top quality ingredients.

If I compare this for example to Musk Extrême , that is clearly baby powdery without any animalic aroma. That is innocent musk scent, musk is not so natural and this one is seductice even erotic, some may find it even dirty. If someone is interested I don’t think this is like Musc Ravageur Eau de Parfum or Musc des Sables, both of them has spicy aroma, Musc Ravageur more and it lacks that baby powdery vibe totally and the latter one is resinous but musk is the same kind of than in this Musc Infini and the quality in both is great. Since here is missing the rich floral heart Musc Infini is not of course anything like Dia Woman Eau de Parfum or many other scents with white musk which are fresh, soapy and/or baby powdery. Musky scents are a huge category and I love all kind of scents in it.

Benzoin-musk
Argh, for a moment I thought this was going places. This musk managed to stay clean without invoking laundry spirits. It had an interesting darker shade, achieved through the addition of a sweaty -not skanky- ambrette note. Clever!

Then, out of nowhere the vanilla-benzoin emerged. This 180-ed straight into vanilla-musk town. Think "Musc Ravageur | Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle" or Musc des Sables and you get the point. Darn party pooper caught me by surprise! Too bad, I really liked the opening.

Musky meh
Infini opens with a pleasant, sweet, vanillic and initially citrus-y amber accord with a dusty white-grayish musky note, and a subtle sort of “abstract” salty-talc feel which is probably due to ambroxide (that ambrette seeds note). A silky light breeze of flower petals and tonka beans complete the thin composition, together with a vague earthy-woody base note. Shortly a sort of contemporary, glossy, tamed-down and almost “abstract” aromatic Oriental scent centered on amber, vanilla, white musks and exotic hints of tonka and woods. But most of all sweet, dry, talc-dusty warm amber with musks. The evolution is close to zero, it all gets just a bit lighter and drier (and slightly more salty too, but also developing a nice balsamic breeze after a couple of hours). Pleasant and undoubtedly refined, although in a kind of (much) boring way: it’s a plain, linear and conventional amber-musky scent like tons of others, with no particular “niche” added value. Dozens of other fragrances do the same job at a fraction of the price, but “per se” Infini is not bad, so if you’re in the mood of flushing money down the toilet...
