Baldessarini Del Mar Baldessarini is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2005, created by Alberto Morillas. Del Mar Baldessarini opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, and Pepper, settles into a heart of Cedar, Cardamom, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Amber, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Baldessarini's Del Mar Baldessarini carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a mixed bag, to put it mildly. Some folks reckon it's a classy, versatile number; others call it a generic, forgettable aquatic that barely leaves a trace. If you're after something universally lauded, look elsewhere. If you're willing to take a punt on a polarizing scent, you might find a hidden gem.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its moderate sillage and short longevity make it suitable for office wear, where discretion is key. The generic and 'safe' nature means it won't stand out on a date or formal event, but its fresh, clean accords make it an easy choice for casual outings or even light activity.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Baldessarini Del Mar opens with a zesty wallop of mandarin and bergamot, sharpened by a kick of pepper. This initial freshness soon mellows into a warm, woody heart of cedar, infused with the comforting spice of cardamom and cinnamon. The dry-down is a smooth, earthy embrace of vetiver and patchouli, softened by a subtle amber glow. It's a blend that balances citrus and spice with woody depth, aiming for sophisticated freshness.
