It's the sample that counts: Why I like Oudh Infini after all
I had already tested Oudh Infini about a month ago. Good thing I wasn't here then and couldn't write a comment. Because there I found the scent rather unpleasant. It was the only Dusita I knew with whom I had my difficulties. I had ordered a sample from a big German supplier, because I found the reviews and the scent pyramid very exciting. Animal scents and oud are my speciality.
But what I was offered was not animalism. It was Muff. Just by lifting the lid, there was an extremely musty citrus note in your face. The musty one stayed for quite a while after spraying on, before other notes like benzoin came to the fore and made the whole thing more bearable. In between there was a bit of Laotian oud, musk and civet, but none of them bothered me. The musty citrus smell, on the other hand, caused me slight nausea. My conclusion at that time: That was probably nothing. I did not understand how such a smelly perfume could come from Dusita, of whom I was used to better ones. And there should be a reason for that
Because some time later I ordered a complete sample set directly from Dusita. Of course Oudh Infini was also included. Since the labels on the transparent glass are hard to read, I caught the scent by chance while testing, although I wanted to leave it aside for now.
And then came the revelation! The orange blossom that makes up the citrus scent came across as anything but musty from the very beginning, but wonderfully fresh. I'm not a fan of dominant citrus scents, but I put up with it like this. This is really nice and reminds me of orange trees in summer somewhere warm.
Without question, with time the animalism sets in. The Laotian oud, the civet and the musk make their presence felt. But as I said, that doesn't bother me. Precisely because it is animalism and not muff.
My conclusion now is: I'm reconciled to Oudh Infini and despite the dominant citrus note, I think it's great. The fragrance is freshness combined with - admittedly quite strong - animalism. This is certainly not for everyone. And that's why I would like to issue a warning. You have to be prepared for an animal experience, which is however accompanied by a fresh citrus note. But I like it.
The question remains what was wrong with the first sample. I can only speculate, of course. My guess is that the bottle from which the sample was bottled has been standing around for a long time, perhaps because a sample is rarely requested, and that the orange blossom oil has oxidized. My experience with other essential oils is that they can get musty when this happens
