Cozumel Laboratorio Olfattivo 2009

I became aware of this fragrance through a nice conversation partner from the souk. The brand hasn't experienced any hype yet, but I don't think that's a bad thing, so the niche remains niche and the prices are more than fair.
The fragrance itself comes in a simple but handy bottle, the atomizer does its job as it should.
Immediately after spraying it on, there is a slightly citrusy note and something bitter paired with a slight sweetness. The whole thing can seem a little overwhelming at first but harmonizes after 10-15 minutes. After that, you notice this very light hemp / tobacco note, all very subtle and not intrusive. However, the freshness remains. In the drydown, more and more warm, slightly sweet accords are added, but it remains fresh and citrusy. I can really only detect the incense minimally, which I personally like.
For me, the fragrance is simply perfectly balanced. Throughout the pyramid, the freshness remains in combination with a slightly sweet spiciness and every time I smell my arm or sweater, I get a hint of calm, which is also represented by the ingredients such as hemp or cedar wood.
After a few hours, I discover many parallels with Liam and Gris Charnel Eau de Parfum. These fragrances all give me a clean, beautiful feeling and Cozumel is no exception. The fragrance can still be clearly perceived even after several hours, at least by me, and that is most important because I also wear the perfume for myself.
A clear recommendation for me.
