Alambar Laboratorio Olfattivo 2009

This fragrance opens with a sweet spice bouquet which sadly is marred by a flat bergamot note in the background of the accord. I am sure the citrus is not supposed to be this way, but reacts weirdly to my skin chemistry. The scent’s wake is not affected by this, whereas up close the sweaty-stale aroma of the bergamot is rather noticeable. The oriental heart bouquet is composed of clove, cinnamon and a very vanilla-heavy amber. As the fragrance develops the spice notes burn off, leaving me with an extremely light vanilla note. The dry down is again a pure amber note.
