Hello and welcome! Please understand that this website is not affiliated with Caron in any way, it is only a reference page for collectors and those who have enjoyed the classic fragrances of days gone by.

The main objective of this website is to chronicle the history of the Caron fragrances and showcase the bottles and advertising used throughout the years.

However, one of the other goals of this website is to show the present owners of the Caron perfume company how much we miss the discontinued classics and hopefully, if they see that there is enough interest and demand, they will bring back these fragrances!

Please leave a comment below (for example: of why you liked the fragrance, describe the scent, time period or age you wore it, who gave it to you or what occasion, any specific memories, what it reminded you of, maybe a relative wore it, or you remembered seeing the bottle on their vanity table), who knows, perhaps someone from the current Caron brand might see it.

Infini c1970

Infini by Caron: launched in 1970. It was created by Gerard Lefortis and as a tribute to space travel. The Sege Mansau book lists Max Gavarry, master perfumer from IFF as the fragrance's composer.

 The name is directly inspired by the 1912 Caron perfume L'Infini by Ernest Daltroff.

The original L'Infini was discontinued, date unknown. Still being sold in 1957. In 1943, the perfume was changed to Infini.




Fragrance Composition:


So what does it smell like? It is classified as an aldehydic floral chypre fragrance for women. It begins with a fresh, shimmering aldehydic top, followed by a classic elegant floral heart, resting on a woody, powdery, feminine base. 

A classic, modern fragrance, 15 years in the blending, here is the holiday essence of youthful daffodils and lilies, elegant rose, jasmine and tuberose and sophisticated vetiver and sandalwood... three sparkling qualities captured only in this unique French perfume. Infini for holidays ...and infini-ty!

Bottles:


The unique bottle was created by Serge Mansau in 1970 who envisioned it as a modern, never ending infinity symbol. The bottle was produced in France by Pochet et du Courval.
