Alambar Laboratorio Olfattivo 2009

Alambar made me re-think my relationship with oriental perfumes, which I hated until now. This is an easygoing, breathable oriental that will not try to kick you in the shins and steal your lunch. It's a beautiful kinda soapy amber spiced up by a gentle cinnamon and faint traces of cocoa (mostly) and vanilla (to a lesser extent). It's contemplative, almost meditational. No smokiness, thank goodness. I find it to be perfectly unisex and suitable for most occasions (ok, don't wear it during a heatwave). A winner in my book!
