MUSC INFINI by Ex Nihilo: Notes, Longevity and Review

What does MUSC INFINI by Ex Nihilo smell like?

MUSC INFINI by Ex Nihilo smells like clean white musk warmed by vanilla, benzoin and tonka bean, opening with ambrette, Calabrian bergamot and grapefruit. It is a soft oriental musk with a powdery, skin-like quality, gentle rather than heavy.

Created by perfumer Louise Turner and launched in 2014, Musc Infini begins with the delicate muskiness of ambrette brightened by citrus. The heart brings together musk, patchouli and rose, a quiet floral-woody structure. A base of white musk, vanilla, benzoin and tonka bean then settles in, leaving a smooth and comforting finish that lingers.

Notes, concentration, longevity and sillage

This is an eau de parfum. The full note pyramid is:

• Top notes: Ambrette (musk mallow), Calabrian bergamot, grapefruit
• Heart notes: Musk, patchouli, rose
• Base notes: White musk, vanilla, benzoin, tonka bean

Longevity is long, lasting through a full day on skin and even longer on clothing. Sillage is moderate to strong in the opening hours, then softens to a close, velvety aura.

Best for: occasions, season and who it suits

Musc Infini fits daily wear, office days and evenings when you want polish without weight. It shines in cooler weather and air-conditioned rooms, though the citrus opening keeps it wearable all year. It suits musk lovers who prefer soft projection over a bold statement, and it layers well with other scents. If you prefer a deeper resinous character, compare Shams Oud by Memo Paris or True Oud by Carolina Herrera, both richer oud-centred choices.
