Sky or earth?
With the name Infinite Sky I imagined a fluffy, airy vanilla with a touch of spice, but this is something completely different. More earth than sky.
It's a very peppery vanilla/amber scent that opens up quite harsh and dry. Szechuan pepper has a mouth-numbing quality in cooking, which is difficult to translate to a perfume. Here they made it very sharp and nose-tingling to get a similar effect.
The rest of the scent is not just vanilla, but warm, gooey amber. It has spicy, balsamic, sweet and even orangey facets to it, which makes me think of cola gummy candies. The base notes are pretty nice, I always enjoy this kind of winter warmer amber scents. The szechuan pepper is way too rough and intense for me though, even though I tend to like spicy scents. It's scratchy in the opening, which I don't appreciate at all.
After several hours the spiciness calms down and the vanilla finally shines. At this point I really like Infinite Sky, but it isn't worth waiting so long.
This could easily be unisex, the scratchy pepper actually reminds me of male-marketed colognes and the amber base is not decidedly feminine either. If you love really peppery scents and don't mind a dry texture, you might like this. Not a bad scent, just very different from what I expected.
