An exquisite rose-oud fragrance. I get absolutely none of the faecal skank, for me it's medicinal and oily, slightly petrol-like, but no barnyard element. The drydown is almost leather-like. Update: this really is a magical journey every time I wear it, possibly my favourite perfume.
I remember the day when I got this perfume. it was a blind buy. I was totally thrilled from the first spray and still this is one of the best ouds in my collection. Oudh Infini is all what you can expect from really good oud scent with a rich and deep blend together with Civet and Musk while flowers, sandalwood, benzoin and vanilla make the scent very pleasant. This is not just some creation made because of the hype of oud. There is no oud in this fragrance just because you can tell it has it. Oudh Infini is a bold blend from Pissara and definitely not an easy choice, this is only for those who really like animalic vibes. This opens up with amazing mellow and edgy splash of Laotian Oud and Civet is very opulent from the start as well. This is straight away slightly skanky, it’s dirty and animalic and wow it’s so sexy! 🔥 For a few seconds you can get a barnyard vibe but straight away it gets tamed and starts to show the beauty with a beautiful Rose de Mai in it - in the same moment you are already hooked. Good quality strong oud and Civet, and Musk in the base make sure that this experience - which this perfume really is - doesn’t fade away for many hours. Yet, this is very enjoyable, not pungent at all and after the opening very smooth and wearable. Musky base with Civet and a little bit sweetness from Vanilla is amazing. I ❤️ this perfume a lot and it’s really adorable and addictive scent. I just want to smell my arm more and more, I feel that I don’t get enough! I don’t know if Dusita has even one scent which I don’t love. I just wish that Pissara will create more oud masterpieces, at least this is the proof that she can do those well! 💯 Thank you for reading and I would appreciate a lot if you want to follow me on IG: @ninamariah_perfumes
This is a straight masterpiece. Yeh for sure it's very barnyard when you first spray it, but it's fantastic and even if you're not into barnyard, it turns into a gorgeous, dark rose and blossom scent layered over dark woods, the whole thing scorched and smouldering with soft smoke. Magnificent. Nothing more to say.
Hold on to your hats people, this fragrance is not for the faint of heart and this is not my declaration of surprise or disdain at this fact, I'm well and truly onboard the skankier side of things as a fan of artisan oud. You can't say that this doesn't deserve to proudly display oud in the title because it proudly displays it in the composition that's for certain! Pissara is a perfumer that I've heard a lot about without sampling much of her output, in fact I think this is only my second Dusita. She's become famed for being some sort of floral savant or flower whisperer, creating some of the most innovative and evocative floral accords in recent memory. I only have Splendiris to go on and I thought it was very acomplished, this is a completely different vibe to say the least. Opens with a blast of castoreum,(not the civet listed here) rough/sharp, floral/musky and of course leathery, personally I love it! It's like boozy malt whisky and fresh leather, but it quickly turns into the fine cheese that is the oud material in here. Now I know the country of origin doesn't necessarily define the smell of the oud but I have laos, Cambodia, India etc... split into categories in my mind, probably by the first material I smelled from there? This falls somewhere in the Cambodian-Indian variety of strong, very vivid barnyard/manure but with a complexity of an aged material, that has absorbed lots of life experience. Going from tobacco, spicy cigar wrapper and pepper, to full poop. It has a dancing rose type note, sandalwood and a powder which probably adds to that dirty/clean effect and the association with babies nappies. Well as someone who has recently had to deal with nappies, let me tell you this stuff has you sniffing and sniffing to try to better understand the unusual nature of a fecal edged but phantasmagorical, mind poem that is this fragrance. I think the blend perfectly captures an unforgiving attar, casually smeared on to skin and don't get me wrong it's not as brutal as some civet/castoreum perfumes or a potent Indian oud oil for example, this is quite reserved if you have an extremeists palate or are used to undiluted raw materials like ambergris and deer musk. This is classical stuff in the sense that it's rose/oud/sandalwood/musk etc... but presented in such a way by a brand with largely floral output that it raises eyebrows. Okay so I understand that civet replacement is something which has this sort of vibe, unpleasant, faecal etc... however my experience is that it stays on the skin the drydown when everything has gone in a kind of dirty protest. Oudh Infini, if you can last through the wave after wave of skank, you get treated to an almost darkly spiced woods and no cheesey oud at all. Bare in mind this is hours into the experience but still, it's about the most divine thing imaginable, cozy and like nothing else out there. I thought it was a knockout, bold, refreshing and a really well made perfume because despite the quality of oud being so paramount to the success of this perfume, the surrounds & setting make this stuff special, because it doesn't just smell of oud, and that's a difficult balancing act to perform. Wearability for me personally would only be on very special occasions when I felt in the mood for something racy and opulent. A real experience though and the price likely reflects the rare, raw natural ingredients inside. Bravo!
