More Than A "The Night" Clone...
Oudh Infini opens with a powerful deep, lush rose and fecal smelling real oud tandem before gradually transitioning to its heart. As the composition enters its early heart the real oud remains, now as the focal ingredient as the fecal aspects slowly turn more gauze-like as supporting slightly creamy sandalwood softens its bite. As time passes the oud morphs to animalic musk that takes its place with the oud remnants slowly fading in support. During the late dry-down, the animalic musk remains with the oud now all but vacant, as slightly powdery vanilla joins the musk as co-star through the lengthy finish. Projection is excellent, and longevity outstanding at just shy of 20 hours on skin.
I have now worn Oudh Infini about five times and with each wearing it impresses me a bit more. On first glance it is a very well-done classically structured rose/oud composition using plenty of real oud and excellent quality deep rose. The open and early heart in many ways remind me of Ropion's fabulous "The Night" for Frederic Malle, with Oudh Infini containing a bit less quality and quantity of real oud and rose... That said, while the similarity can't be ignored (and is in no way meant as a negative), the Dusita composition distinguishes itself from here-on out, slowly morphing to a musk and vanilla led finish that shows there is more to the composition than a fine, but slightly lower quality "The Night" clone, proving a much more complete journey for the wearer. I don't care much for animalic musk, but Oudh Infini definitely handles it quite well. The bottom line is the $465 per 50ml bottle Oudh Infini may come up just short of Ropion's superb rose/oud composition in terms of ingredient quality and blending, but has additional tricks up its sleeve, earning it an "excellent" 4 stars out of 5 rating and a solid recommendation to lovers of real oud compositions that go beyond the typical rose/oud pairing.
