Infinite Spicy by Olivier Cresp
by Mercedes-Benz
Infinite Spicy by Olivier Cresp delivers a daring and arresting opening marked by a vibrant blend of Sichuan pepper, star anise, and coriander, creating an intense, fresh, and spicy burst that many describe as near-perfect. The aroma evolves into a softly spiced, woody-creamy drydown with cashmere wood and teak wood, giving it a refined, slightly sweet and airy texture. Though not overtly gourmand, some note a subtle fruity or blueberry-like sweetness, while others detect a distinct pine-like greenness, adding depth to the otherwise minimal olfactory journey. It performs best as a personal scent that stays close to the skin, with moderate sillage and a fleeting presence, especially after the initial minutes.
Pros
- +Exceptionally unique and bold opening that stands out in any collection
- +Light, fresh, and sophisticated spicy profile suitable for men or unisex wear
- +Complex woodiness gives a refined, classy drydown similar to niche or high-end olfactory experiences
Cons
- −Extremely short longevity; most users report fading within 30-60 minutes
- −Low projection and sillage, making it feel almost invisible on skin after initial burst
- −Performance varies significantly, possibly due to batch differences or formulation issues
