Is Altamir suitable for the office or work environments?+−
Because Altamir is quite sweet and floral with a strong amber base, it is better suited for leisure, evening wear, or casual dates. In a professional setting, it may come across as too opulent or distracting unless applied very lightly.
How does this compare to other Ted Lapidus fragrances?+−
Unlike the powerhouse 80s aromatic style of the original Lapidus Pour Homme, Altamir is a modern, sweet oriental. It is less aggressive and more focused on creamy florals and resins than the herbal, soapy DNA of its predecessor.
Does Altamir lean more masculine or feminine?+−
While categorized as a fragrance for men, the prominent orange blossom and jasmine nodes give it a floral character that many enthusiasts describe as unisex. It is a good choice for anyone who enjoys sweet, "white floral" masculine scents.
Which seasons are best for wearing Altamir?+−
The fragrance performs best in autumn and winter. The warmth of the tonka bean and amber provides a cozy aura that cuts through the cold, whereas the heat of summer can make the pineapple and floral notes feel too heavy.
