Which Should You Buy?
Al Oudh by L'Artisan Parfumeur is an utter provocateur. It's wildly divisive, with some finding it a deeply sensual masterpiece of animalic spice, while others recoil from its 'sweaty body odour' and 'unclean sex' vibe. Definitely not for the faint-hearted or those who prefer a polite crowd-pleaser.
Prepare for a proper Montale experience: loud, proud, and in your face. Opinions are divided on whether it's a sweet masterpiece or a synthetic mess, especially if you're not keen on prominent oud.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
This fragrance is definitely not office-safe due to its polarizing and often described 'body odour' scent profile. It's best suited for intimate date nights and specific casual settings where its audacious character can be appreciated, rather than formal events or sports where it would be far too much.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Given its beast-mode performance and strong sillage, Infinity is far too aggressive for the office. It excels in colder weather and evening events like dates and formal occasions, where its seductive and bold character can truly shine.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Warm Spicy, Sweet, Amber accords and Sandalwood, Musk notes
