How does Alkemi perform in terms of longevity?+−
It is frequently cited as one of the stronger performers in the Laboratorio Olfattivo lineup. You can expect it to last through a full day, often remaining as a skin scent with noticeable wood and amber notes well into the evening.
Is this fragrance more masculine or feminine?+−
Alkemi is classified as a fragrance for men and women. It balances traditionally masculine elements like cedar, incense, and smoke with softer, traditionally feminine notes like ylang-ylang and vanilla, making it truly gender-neutral.
What is the best time of year to wear this?+−
Due to its heavy resinous, woody, and spicy accords, this fragrance is best suited for fall and winter. The warmth of the amber and sandalwood can feel too heavy or oppressive in high summer humidity.
Does it smell like a typical sweet amber perfume?+−
No. While it contains amber and vanilla, it is not a "gourmand" or sugary scent. The presence of myrrh, frankincense, and Atlas cedar gives it a dry, smoky, and resinous character that is more "oriental" and woody than sweet.
