Infini by Caron was created in 1912. by Ernest Daltroff. In 1970. the perfume was reformulated, the nos behind the new version of Infini is Gerard Lefortis.
To echo and reflect the rhythm, futurism and speed of the early 70’s, Caron created a completely, original, revolutionary aroma with a base of tuberose, hyacinth and lily of the valley, all composed with notes of vetyver and sandalwood. Since it was the era of astronauts, the perfume was baptized “Infini” in honor of outer space. Its bottle, an asymmetrical sculpture designed by Serge Mansau, is hollowed out in the middle and is inspired by the mathematical sign for infinity.

Base Notes
Heavy on aldehydes, but nevertheless beautiful and elegant fragrance:soft, soapy with a metallic note. Reminds me of a few fragrances: a smoother version of Madame Rochas, less sweet Byzance, Y.
I have an older packaged EDT,but it's not vintage, I don't think so.
( Actual Pure Parfum Review )
I think I like it more than Nocturnes. Both are similar fragrances, but this one is a little better and original.
This is not an agressive aldehydes scent, its pretty much a pleasant intense fragrance. Infini is Extremely elegant and sophisticated and the sillage is perfect!
I get a light and sweet-powdery tobacco note, wich i find very addictive.
The opening had that old aldehyde smell so that was worrying; thankfully it was very brief! The tuberose is subtle here(as are all the florals) lending a slightly soapy edge- Infini is actually a very gentle composition..not dirty at all. Classy and wears close to the skin. The drydown may actually contain real sandalwood because it is glorious here!
This one has some similarities with the Vie Privée vintage by Yves Rocher. Needless to say that I adore them both!
My mum top five favorite perfumes : Quadrille by Balenciaga, Infini by Caron, Arpège by Lanvin, Antilope by Weil, Vol de nuit by Guerlain.
Lovely warm Caron scent veering towards feminine...love it!
I disagree with the name Infini i see
nothing Futuristic about this fragrance
it makes you think of edwardian times
then space travel. the opening begins
with a warm aldehydic note but it has a plastic undertone dries down to a sharp lilacs and dry iris.
and the drydown of warm amber.
My lovely OM swapping partner gave me this in the vintage Parfum de Toilette as a gift! AND IT IS A 12* fragrance, just FANTASTIC!
Oh how I love my Infini. I have a vintage parfum, from Ebay, and a modern edt. This is another one I had in the 80's and again, nothing is missing. Only, the edt is lighter and brighter, which can be expected from the difference in concentration. This one is elegant and confidence enhancing,a wonderful perfume to wear on challenging days. The flowers are light and bright, but the amber in this one adds more depth. This is a serious and mature fragrance, not an ounce of silliness. Becomes extremely subtle after 2-3 hours, but still with you.
Mine's the one without the eometric cutout. It says 85 deg., whatever that means. I'm completely intrigued. It isn't love at this point, but it is a floral that really makes me think.
Poor Infini has been through so many reformulations it is likely each of us is reviewing a different version of the scent! The Infini I had twenty-five years ago was a hugely lactonic floral with remarkable sillage and a faintly metallic drydown, like the jingle of keys on a ring -- a little edgy, a little cheerful. The version I own today still has some of that wonderful milkiness and decent sillage, but alas, the drydown jingles no longer.
Started as a classic, lovely Caron and ended as plastic flowers on me.
Elegant, sensual, beautiful.
