Coty Infiniment perfume reviews by award-winning critic Persolaise, 2024

My first encounter with this much-hyped range was at a launch event in London last year. As far as these shindigs go, it was one of the less easily comprehensible. The speeches ranged from hollow to opaque. There was ‘entertainment’ in the form of perplexing dances that had been devised as interpretations of a few of the perfumes. And the only opportunity to smell the scents themselves was in a crowded, poorly-ventilated basement where the attention seemed to be not on the fragrances but on artworks that had been commissioned to accompany them. None of this was particularly worrisome. Indeed, in many ways, it was par for the course. Pretentiousness and perfume tend to go hand in hand, frequently to comical effect. Indeed, I can still recall the Hermes launch during which actors uttered supposedly mystical texts through large tubes which they held right up against the guests’ ears. I can put up with all manner of silliness, especially if the perfumes in question are interesting. So despite everything that was going on at the Coty bash, I wasn’t particularly alarmed. But there was a moment when my Spidey sense started tingling.
