Altamir Ted Lapidus 2007 Eau de Toilette
4
Warm Blanket
Sometimes perfume ways are truly mysterious. Many fragrances are already discontinued due to the unavailability of materials, their price, poor sales, change of legislation etc. Once extremely popular creations have been gone forever, while some humble stubbornly resist. One of the most popular Gaultier’s fragrances, loved by numerous perfume aficionados, Gaultier2 by Francis Kurkdjian is apparently discontinued. Many fragrance lovers mourn upon the unfair fate of once extremely popular creation. Fortunately, there is a reasonably priced salvation – Altamir by once extremely famous French fashion house Ted Lapidus.
Altamir is a relic from the times when Gaultier2 was hot. To me unknown perfumer did a pretty nice job. To my nose, Altamir is like Gaultier’s carbon copy. Altamir is like a warm blanket during winter. It warms one’s heart during all those gray and cold days. Although marketed toward men, Altamir is completely unisex, just like its role model. It opens with pale notes of white flowers – neroli and orange blossom cloaked by a huge warm hug of benzoin, amber and Tonka bean. The musk of the mid and base notes gives Altamir a classic and clean side. The Tonka bean is responsible for some nutty aspect of the composition. I can also sense some pale woodsy touch.
Altamir is a warm, sweet, soft and cozy. Simple, but effective. A truly remarkable and affordable composition for gloomy days. One of the unsung heroes.
P.S. Please if someone knows the origin of the name, share with us.
