Latest Reviews of L'Infini
This is a very rare perfume these days, my version is from the eighties, via the Bloomingdales Caron boutique. (Yes back in those antediluvian days they had one.)My version is called Souvenance, but I was told by a retired saleslady that it was the same perfume as Infini, which by the way, is not the 1970 green aldehydic floral. Caron often re-purposed names. That's created enduring confusion, but anyway, this is a cross between Bellodgia and Tabac Blond. You can smell Ernest Daltroff feeling his way to the big tobacco smoke and leather boulevardier that is T B, but he hadn't gotten there yet in 1912.
Infini/Souvenance is a discreet skin scent with carnations and leather, and has a family resemblance to Coup de Fouet. You can tell that Daltroff was working on more leather, more florals, and gestating all sorts of classics out of this base. Bottom line though, you're getting a better experience with Tabac Blond.
