Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Alto Astral Eau de Parfum

Alto Astral is a proper divisive olfactive rollercoaster. For some, it's a vibrant, clean coconut dream - perfect for summer and pulling compliments. Others? They're getting cheese crackers, sour BO, or a blast of chlorine. You absolutely must try this on skin before buying, because this one's a gamble.

Our Verdict - Amber Musk Eau de Parfum

Aerin Amber Musk truly is like a cashmere sweater in a bottle - warm, enveloping, and understated. It's an intimate scent that whispers rather than shouts, but don't expect it to last longer than a cuppa. The price point is a sore spot for many given its fleeting nature.

Season and Occasion Fit

Alto Astral Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Sport

Its fresh, musky, and aldehydic nature makes it ideal for casual wear, especially in warmer climates, with many calling it a 'summer BR'. While some find projection strong, others report it's a skin scent. Caution is advised for formal or office settings given the potential for a 'chlorine' or 'synthetic' opening, which could be off-putting.

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date

Its soft sillage and intimate projection make it perfect for close-quarters like the office or casual wear, as it won't offend. However, its poor longevity and lack of projection mean it won't stand out for formal events or perform during sports.
