ENCORE UNE FOIS L'OSMIUM by Infiniment Coty belongs to the amber gourmand family, yet its structure feels measured, textured and deliberately polished. Presented as a 40 ml extrait and created by Fabrice Pellegrin, it explores warmth through density rather than excess. Vanilla is central, but it is shaped by incense, resins and amber materials that give the composition contour and restraint. The overall impression is rich and embracing, with a glow that feels composed rather than sugary.
The opening pairs a duo of vanilla extracts with incense, setting up a contrast that defines the fragrance from the start. Vanilla brings roundness, softness and an almost velvety sweetness, while incense introduces a drier, darker line that keeps the composition poised. This first movement feels comforting, though never casual: there is a subtle tension between generosity and shadow that gives the scent its immediate appeal.
At the heart, Peru balsam and labdanum deepen the resinous side of the fragrance and add a tactile, balsamic density. AMBRÉINE S and the Amber accord, triple infusion, broaden the amber signature, making it more dimensional and architectural. This is where the perfume settles into its identity. The gourmand aspect remains present, but it is framed by warmth, resin and structure, creating a finish that feels sophisticated rather than edible.
An amber woods accord in the base anchors the composition with a smooth, woody warmth. It extends the interplay between softness and depth, sweetness and form, leaving behind a feeling of intimacy and quiet assurance. ENCORE UNE FOIS L'OSMIUM has the kind of presence that suggests comfort without softness alone: an amber gourmand with a contemporary profile, close to the skin in mood, yet unmistakably defined.
