Oolang Infini (2010)
by Atelier Cologne

A very earthy tea based fragrance that is incredibly subtle. The projection, at least for me, was quite low but the longevity was above average. Thus, this is actually one of those colognes that are perfect for someone who doesn't even want to make it obvious that they are wearing a cologne at all. Very masculine.

Who should wear this scent? Someone who enjoys smelling like a rainy day. For me, I get this image of a 25+ grad student/young professional with a calm, quiet cool and an intellectual bent. Someone who hates bright colors, enjoys cloudy and overcast days and speaks calmly, cooly and with wit. Very San Francisco. Very hip without trying.

A real sleeper hit. The first time I tried this, it didn't exactly tickle me with a feather. But when I gave it another shot I have to say, that is when I first started to "get" what this one is all about.

8.5/10

Oolang Infini opens remarkably interesting with a smooth blend of tea leaves "energized" and refined by a perfectly executed bergamot. Neroli makes its appearance right away joined by a consistent, but never overwhelming, woody note and some vetiver. An extremely delicate suede note winks from the back while the composition evolves into a modern revisitation of the classic Eau De Cologne.

Ollang Infini is a solid candidate to become one of the best interpretation of this classic theme in years. An elegant and interesting option for anyone into lighter fragrances.

Overall impression: damp earth. Without concentrating on the notes, I get a sort of ambient smell like after it rains. I can sense the tea and the vetiver, the leather not so much. Good projection and longevity. A little too atmospheric for me, but it's not bad.
Might be good for someone that does not want to smell like they are wearing a fragrance. Grade: C+

I can really smell the vetiver and leather and not the tea. Heavier than I'd like for a tea scent. Masculine. Not as nice as Hermes Vetiver Tonka.

THIS IS A VERY PLEASEING, IF SOFT, FRESH SCENT. I WISH IT WAS STRONGER BUT IT'S A CLASS ACT AND CAN BE USED AS A BASE FOR MANY OTHER FRAGRANCES.
