Oolang Infini Atelier Cologne for women and men

I smell Vetiver and citrus. No tea

The beginning of this was promising - dusty smoky tea leaves with a slight woodiness and even slighter citrus, however on my skin it had disappeared by the half hour mark. I would have loved it to stay longer. I don't have much success with the longevity of any perfume with tea notes that I have tried, dammit!

This is beautiful from start to finish. Bright and warm. Slightly spicy with some creaminess and smoke. I really, really like this! Two huge thumbs up.

This opens with citrus and a slightly sour tangy tea note that is joined by neroli and woods.

You know when you are ironing a white shirt and you put a bit of starch on the collar and press down on the steam button. You get that starchy steamy smell, add a little citrus and a tiny dab of neroli and you have this fragrance.

I'm disappointed with this fragrance as the star of the show tea note does nothing to distinguish itself within this composition.

This scent is imo tepid and generic, if the tea was stronger and the supporting notes of leather and woods stood out more this would have been such a better fragrance. With the tea note you need bolder notes as a good contrast.

I had a small bottle of this. It smells just like Bvlgari Homme. Light, dry, tea, pepper, a very slight hint of wood. Not great, not bad, no longevity.

this perfume is so similar to vetiver tonka by hermès! i can't believe it. it's very, very nice, but between two niche offerings (the hermès is part of the hermessence collection sold only at their boutiques) i'd go with jean claude ellena's creation, which - incidentally - was released six years before oolang infini.

I've worn this 5 times now, and each wearing I think, 'now this is a like'. Tea is a note that surprised me; I"ve now experienced it in 4 other fragrances, and it woos me every time. It's a nice balance between reedy greens and gravel.

What I like most about Atelier's take is that they keep the focus on tea and don't bring in a bunch of unneeded other stuff (I could name drop here but I won't) This is a clean, energetic fragrance that would be great for a hot day. It's dry, yet not so much that its raspy. Very inoffensive and discrete.

My one complaint: longevity. I get maybe 30 minutes from this. OK, it's a cologne and maybe I should be bathing in it, but that's not how I wear fragrances so this would be a draw back for me.

I like this one. tea, vetiver, neroli, subtle woody notes. I dont get leather...but I dont want to get leather..not on this one. It's a really really nice clean citrus tea scent with a small touch of smokiness. I have tried to like tea scents in the past, and I just didn't. Most recently I sampled tribal black tea from Illuminum and although not horrible, I just wasn't impressed. Boredom is a good word for that perfume. Nice is a good word for Oolang Infini. If you want to have a few clean refreshing scents in your collection, this should be at least one of them. It's light and well made, but does have interesting depth to it for a cologne. It goes thru a few changes and strengths as well, which is nice. This would be a perfect office/work scent too. I really want to try other Atelier scents now. On luckyscent a 30ml is $60 and a 200ml is $165. in my opinion, 30ml is too little, and 200ml is too much. Why not a 100ml?? Still and all, I'm adding this to my want list. thumbs up

One of my favorite fragrances. I received it as a sample with purchase from an online fragrance retailer. Generally, I am not a fan of vetiver but in this it works blending with the bergamot, leather and neroli to create a really light,airy and fresh scent. It is, to me, the scent equivalent of windchimes on a sunny day. I was also pleased to see this perfume house will be appearing at Esxence in Milan this March/ April.

LOVE this, it has become my everyday scent. On me, it is a perfect mix of citrus (particularly bergamot) and woods. The tea is strong initially, but then the vetiver really emerges after drydown. My boyfriend loves it on me too, it is definitely a lighter cologne, you have to be pretty close to smell it. But that being said, it lasts all day. Sophisticated and yet fresh.

I adore this. Oolong is a tea that's between green and black--it's only slightly fermented. So the fragrance is between the sharp of green tea and the smoky tannins of black tea. It's delicate and sweetly fresh; it curls into your nostrils with a subtle and uplifting scent; a feel of potential rather than raw energy. The neroli emerges upon first application, to my nose anyway, but it's not overpowering. So it's like the scent brought by a gentle breeze rather than the heavy fragrance of a bower. The drydown has a silky, slightly animalic smell, like a horse's velvety nose. This is one of the few I will definitely buy. It's mysterious, suggestive, but very earthy rather than ethereal.

Oolang Infini opens remarkably interesting with a smooth blend of tea leaves "energized" and refined by a perfectly executed bergamot. Neroli makes its appearance right away joined by a consistent, but never overwhelming, woody note and some vetiver. An extremely delicate suede note winks from the back while the composition evolves into a modern revisitation of the classic Eau De Cologne.

Ollang Infini is a solid candidate to become one of the best interpretations of this classic theme in years. An elegant and interesting option for anyone into lighter fragrances.

Rating: 7/10

Overall impression: damp earth. Without concentrating on the notes, I get a sort of ambient smell like after it rains. I can sense the tea and the vetiver, the leather not so much. Good projection and longevity. A little too atmospheric for me, but it's not bad.
Might be good for someone that does not want to smell like they are wearing a fragrance. Grade: C+

I'm not sure my skin picks up any of the tea note. I smell citrusy lemon and tangy something. Very tangy. I'll have to give this one a few more trials to see if it plays out any differently.

Neroli, bergamot and tea to open. I agree with Yourfoxiness in that this smells rather like Earl Grey. But nothing smoky in this composition, as with the drydown I get a little smooth soapiness.

I don't really get any leather, although there is something in Oolang Infini that makes it feel soft and supple--almost plush. Ferny, steamy, velvety woods if you will, with cool crisp shadows in a humid rainforest; a refreshing mist of water from a nearby waterfall; and a petal or two adding just a drop of sweetness.

Hmm... the opalescence of this fragrance is really growing on me. Warmly meditative, comforting and renewing.

Off the top this is a breath of fresh air. A definite tea note, but i would almost say earl grey rather than oolong, due to the bergamot that accompanies it. Its very light, and almost plays a little hide & seek game, where its light & barely there, and then smokey, woodsey, and very substantial for a spell. a few minuites in it reminds me a little of annick goutal encens flamboyant, and then it mellows and the refreshing tea & smooth "grey" woods return. The leather is dry, and almost makes me think of pearly grey suede. Oolang infini gives a feel of a somehow cool, but cozy and contemplative scent, that plays in waves, and unfolds gently from fresh and light, to smoky and complex in the drydown, like the conclusion of a good book. And indeed, i smell the leather binding, and the evocation of a memory here... Cold winter sunlight through the window, and the scents of leather & good tea, a blanket and a fire, when ocassionally i catch a rouge whiff of cold, fresh air that brings juniper, & smoke. A lovely fragrance, i believe it would be great on a man, although it worked better for me than my husband. It does come & go quickly, which gives it a casual feel, but i too would love to see how it would do in a higher concentration. Beautiful fragrance.

I could not smell any tea or wood notes, but only the neroli and bergamot which were very strong. If you are looking for strong tea, give this one a miss. I found it to be pure citrus.

This fragrance is very light woody tea scent. It is very linear, but very lovely and fresh. I think it's a bit mineral musky clean too. It's more for men than women, I think. Unfortunately, it's way too light as it is a cologne, and it has very weak staying power. I would love to have one but I need it in, at least, eau de toilette or a higher concentration.

To my nose, the most prominent note here is guaiac wood.
In the first quarter I also smelled some oolang tea and dry, earthy vetiver.
But wood is definitely the spine of this fragrance.
Interesting, it really makes me think about travelling to the Far East, despite having no typically oriental notes ...

Unisex, of course, but I'd prefer to smell it on my man rather than on mysef.

This is a tea fragrance that doesn't leave you smelling like a tea bag! It has depth. That being said, anyone looking for a strong, projecting fragrance should keep looking. It stays closer to the body.

My description: a barely-woodsy tea that has a smoothness to it and is definately wearable by a man.

This is absolutely fascinating to me, as an avid tea lover & collector, I love the smokiness of oolong tea, with its cleansing ethereal nature. The leather note is intriguing as well as the woodiness. And it has two of all my time favorite notes: neroli & vetiver.

This is definitely a trip to the Orient in a bottle! Fantastic blend!
Perfect unisex fragrance.
