Heavy but pleasing!
Sometimes this YouTube influencer thing can be really enriching and broaden your horizons. For example, I became aware of this fragrance through the red-haired Kai, who is well known in the scene, and a simple short clip, which I am very happy about. Luckily, when I look at the rating figures here, the hype train, which is often so full of hype, just missed the fragrance, or only took it one stop. As a result, it still has enough of a rarity character, and noticing it on another individual in the wild outside a fragrance fair is like hitting the jackpot.
As for the fragrance itself, to mention the tiresome YouTube again, Scent Jay, who deserves more attention, has found the right words. "The scent pushed me off my chair".
I get a perfectly interwoven mix of the fragrance notes listed here. Blackberry, raspberry, incense, cinnamon and oud are the dominant components for my nose. The fruit notes have been stripped of their prickly acidity and are more like perfectly processed dried fruits that present themselves as round, soft and velvety. The sweetness is present but never overpowering. In my opinion, the perfect balance of mass appeal and olfactory harmony has been found here.
The oud note interwoven here is subtle and therefore pleasing. The cowshed gives way to a cozy, atmospheric attic made of high-quality wood, in a time-honored villa. This association comes to mind with the wood/oud note used here.
The cinnamon and pepper make the fragrance spicy without being overpowering.
Where a Spicebomb Extreme in the opening can rather lead to fits of nausea (don't get me wrong - in my opinion, Viktor&Rolf's outstanding fragrance), this one is rather cozy and gentle in terms of spiciness, almost warming and grounding.
The incense in combination with the oud and berry fruits gives the fragrance a pleasant degree of smokiness and leatheriness, which greatly enhances its depth.
The smoke is not scratchy but sublime, the leather note for me like finely embalmed precious suede.
Where other raspberry oud leather fragrances ala Widian London to Tuscan Leather tend to quote shiny black Domina smooth leather, Infusion Velour goes the way of the expensive brown horse saddle.
All in all, a heavy yet pleasing mixture that has been created here.
Applicability? I see the fragrance as quite versatile, applied discreetly even for the office, up to a party, date or cozy at home, if you simply want to create a pleasant aura around you through a great fragrance experience. However, I would place it more in the cool season of fall to winter.
I think it is such a well-rounded fragrance that it is definitely unisex. I see a tendency here towards masculine, but a self-confident lady, whether stylish, bossy, edgy, sexy or wicked, can apply this fragrance just as perfectly without it seeming even slightly out of place.
In terms of performance, I would place the fragrance in the upper mid-range. 6-7 hours of perceptibility, of which the first 3-4 form a stylishly clear sillage (3 sprays).
Is it worth the exorbitant price? Everyone has to decide for themselves.
I personally believe that no fragrance, no matter how high quality it is advertised, has to be so expensive.
I am therefore pleased with Ojar's policy, which I hope will serve as a model for many other niche houses, of also offering fragrances in attractive small bottles. That way you don't become poor straight away, and the 15ml will easily last for several years if you own 10 20 30 fragrances or more, unless you tend to use it every day because of the beauty of this olfactory presentation. I save it for special days and occasions. Because I don't want to be pushed off my chair by a fragrance every day
