Altamir

Ted Lapidus Altamir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2007. The fragrance opens with Neroli, Pineapple, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Orange Blossom, and Cyclamen, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Teak, Patchouli, and Musk.

Our verdict on Altamir: Favourite

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.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:
Formal

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.

About

Opening with a juicy burst of neroli and pineapple, Altamir quickly settles into a creamy, almost edible heart of jasmine and orange blossom. The base is an opulent amber-tonka cocoon, softened by a touch of musk and woody vetiver. It's a rich, sweet, and surprisingly complex oriental.
