Altamir

Which Should You Buy?
This is a real marmite scent - you'll either adore its warm, golden embrace or find it a bit too much. Sublime is a truly classic, sophisticated floral that demands attention, but be warned: reformulations divide opinion, so hunt for a vintage bottle if you want the full, unadulterated experience.
Altamir is a seriously polarising scent - some absolute devotees rave about its Gaultier 2-esque amber and vanilla deliciousness, while others recoil at its cloying sweetness and 'cheap' smell. Not one for a blind buy.

Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Sublime's strong sillage and 'old money' feel make it less suitable for the office, where it might be too overpowering. It excels in formal and date settings, conveying elegance and sophistication, as many reviewers indicated it made them feel glamorous and well-dressed.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Given its sweet and amber-heavy profile, Altamir is best suited for cooler weather and intimate encounters. While some find its performance suitable for 'any occasion', its bold sweetness might be a bit much for a formal office environment, earning it higher marks for date nights and casual wear. The polarizing reviews suggest it's more of a personal statement than a crowd-pleaser for every setting.
