People with some knowledge in this area will compare Altamir to Minotaure by Palomo Picasso (1992), Sculpture Homme by Nikos (1994), or more-recent such scents as the discontinued semi-venerated Gaultier 2 by Jean-Paul Gaultier (2005). If it's not good for you, you just put it in the spook and someone else will enjoy the scent", I thought to myself. Not forgetting your hair with the greatest of all when it comes to hair products: L'Oréal Professionnel, Kérastase or Schwarzkopf. A powerful olfactory bouquet of vanilla emanated from the flask full of juice and power from the first sniff.For me, this sweet, oriental, and woody cologne awakens my senses with a powerful burst of mellifluous citrusy neroli, mixed with some green pineapple and a touch of bergamot. The Altamir doesn't quite come close to my taste, but it seems more noble, more masculine and not quite as playful and offensive. I bought the first one in 2015, blindly, in fact, after falling in love with the older brother TL Pour Lui, with those sweet, powdery notes of him. The base and dry-down, on the other hand, is extremely heavy and almost exclusively sweet and creamy due to the tonka bean. Now I can detect some vetiver and musk, but I think it is at this stage that the scent will run for a while.

It goes without saying that sillage and projection are monstrous, and Altamir gets cloying fast with a heavy hand, as is probably intended by the trolls behind all Lapidus and Bogart fragrances.As for the base, this is sweet tonka, chocolaty patchouli, a dirty musk, and a slightly woody rounded amber. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. The patchouli's earthiness begins to wander, along with a bit of a woody bite from teak, all dominated by amber.

Altamir For Men By Ted Lapidus starts with top notes of pineapple, neroli, bergamot ,continues with middle notes of cyclamen, orange blossom, jasmine ,ending with base notes of tonka bean, amber, patchouli, musk, vetiver. It developed into a healthy addiction, because what spread was a pleasant, beguiling feel-good scent which also impressed my immediate surroundings. Unless you prefer to opt for the legendary scents of Jean Paul Gaultier, Calvin Klein, Cerruti or Chloé?As the fragrance progresses, the base notes, above all amber and tonka bean, spread comforting warmth, the air is creamy heavy, tart-sweet to caramel and with many woody facets. The base is cozy,warm and warming like a thick,but still smooth,beige blanket around your shoulders,but under that blanket something naughty can happen, because the alcohol and synthetic vanilla notes still play around. This fragrance is very masculine and sensual scent with moderate to heavy sillage and long-lasting abilities, this fragrance is best worn on a casual or romantic night out. Altamir is a fascinating perfume and yet still made it to the market in 2007 under the label of Ted Lapidus, even without vanilla. With a fragrance recommendation to Altamir and the tip for the visit to the cave of Altamira I thank you very much!

The bottom line is that you mostly get an amber fragrance with patchouli, musk, and tonka in a sweet and creamy neroli bomb that will moderately feel when worn during the colder winter. The opening is a sweet blast of neroli and pineapple, the last one reminding me most of Lapidus pour Homme, the former reminding me of Nikos, but also oddly of the as-yet-created Maison Francis Kurkdjian APOM pour Homme (2009).

However, I must admit that this perfume was a revelation for me, mostly because I bought it without smelling it but merely letting myself be convinced by the web's descriptions.Anyway, slowly but surely a skin-near oasis of well-being is developing, which inspires to dream of warm, Mediterranean evenings along a coast. The scent seemed very sweet, decidedly oriental, opulent, intoxicating, and I was a little perplexed. But while Nikos is light and airy for hot summer days, Altamir is heavy and sticky for cold winter nights. The sillage and projection were monstrous for the older batch, mediocre for the recent one, though Altamir gets cloying quickly with a heavy hand. I mean come on, Ted Lapidus was a once-prominent designer couture house that like so many, was converted into little more than a licensed badge for perfume and accessory makers looking to get into the game after the maison itself entered a twilight fugue.
