Infanta en Flor

Infanta en Flor by Arquiste is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with labdanum, bergamot and immortelle, moves into orange blossom, jasmine, rose and leather and dries down to benzoin, labdanum, tonka bean and musk. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Immortelle Maple syrup, curry and hay. Genuinely strange and very distinctive.

Heart

Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.

Dry-down

Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
