About this deal

Prescriptions must be written on an Authority Prescription Form, and the approval number must be noted on the prescription. Pharmacists cannot dispense the item as a pharmaceutical benefit unless it has been approved by Medicare Australia (indicated by the presence of the approval number). Cyclamen is a note that I love in nature; the smell of fresh forest flowers is so candid, pure, delicate, velvety. Here it is magically mixed with orange blossom, with warm indole jasmine swimming in malted coumarin, and that blend creates the essence of this cologne. The heart adds a delightful vanilla scent from Tonka and a little floral from jasmine. At this stage, it becomes sweeter and softer, but not an annoying precious. Now I can detect some vetiver and musk, but I think it is at this stage that the scent will run for a while.

Anyhow, this blast simmers down to a unisex floral. My nose detects cyclamen aldehyde (hence 'cyclamen' in the notes pyramid), lending a green, ever so slight musty edge—don't be alaramed, trust me, 'musty' doesn't necessarily equal off-putting, it just lends a character that one finds in the bouquet of the flower, and its a quality that I quite admire as a shade in fragrance. The dry down is woody, musky tonka. Altamir at face value smells like a clubber; no surprise there, considering who Bogart and its licensed brands makes perfumes for and generally how they're worn by those clientele. A lot of different clubbers come to mind, some of them technically proto-clubbers from the late 80's and early 90's like old Lapdius pour Homme, and a similar house DNA follows suit. 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). Maybe Altamir was meant to be a competitor? 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). The neroli ends up stealing the focus from the pineapple, as the warm jasmine indole swimming in ethyl maltol vanilla of the heart takes over. Base-wise, this is tonka, amber, "fruitchouli" grade patchouli isolate, a dirty musk, and a woody-amber. That last part adds a bit of itch to an otherwise smooth sugary bomb, but I'll let it slide. Wear time is until you take it off, with context being up to you. This is exactly how I imagine a relaxing, culinary as well as olfactory great late afternoon in Venice. It begins with a loud, fresh atmosphere along the canals and ends in a relaxed, quiet but high-quality Tarttoria right by the water with a bottle of wine. Exactly this is the impression Altamir leaves over a period of 8-10 hours and in this quiet and calm way leaves an impression on the wearer and his surroundings. The projection is just as well balanced as the fragrance and thus allows people to enjoy it on 1-2 arm lengths and this over a reasonable period of time.

Lapidus designs often featured safari themes and military elements such as epaulettes on the shoulders. He is widely credited with helping to popularize blue jeans in mainstream fashion. Lapidus fashions were popular with influential stars of the day, including Twiggy, Alain Delon, Brigitte Bardot and the Beatles, in particular John Lennon. The white suit worn by Lennon on the cover of the Beatles album "Abbey Road" was designed by Lapidus. Lapidus persuaded Twiggy to don a suit and tie instead of her typical mini-skirts. In 1989, Lapidus's son Oliver took over the house. In 2000, the Lapidus label officially ended its couture division and focused exclusively on accessories and fragrances. Ted Lapidus passed away in 2008. As for the base, this is sweet tonka, chocolaty patchouli, a dirty musk, and a slightly woody rounded amber. The patchouli's earthiness begins to wander, along with a bit of a woody bite from teak, all dominated by amber. The last part adds some itchiness to an otherwise smooth sugar bomb. The amber is radiant and mysterious and reveals an absolute sensuality. Moss, on the other hand, becomes almost animal. Its erotic and delicately erogenous accents are compelling, evoking warm memories of the fragrances we wore in the early 90s. Finally, the tonka becomes smoother and smoother and is responsible for some nutty aspects of the composition. I can also feel a slight woody touch. Together with the modern floral, this classy atmosphere gave life to the best fragrance that could be bought for less than € 25. Thanks to my darling who discovered this scent ;-) You are the best blind buyer ever ;-) and sorry that your scents now also sometimes become mine :-D. I love it :-)

Vu was the first fragrance, a feminine scent which appeared in 1975 when the fragrance license was held by L'Oreal. The fragrance license for Ted Lapidus transferred to the Jacques Bogart Group in 1983.The Ted Lapidus brand expanded into accessories in the 1970s, as interest in haute couture began to fade. One of the earliest designers to form a partnership for the production of fragrances, Lapidus first collaborated with L'Oreal in 1970 to offer fragrances under the Ted Lapidus brand.

Lapidus is also notable for utilizing mass market production techniques, thereby making his fashions more affordable to the average consumer. A fragrance that I would describe as sweet, warm, oriental, loving Wumser, which is always there when you need it and the light happiness hormone radiates if the day is perhaps not so great or you already when getting up thinks, oh no I would have rather stayed in bed ... as soon as it is sprayed on, he gives me the feeling, no matter what comes, I am with you and protect you Also the performance is top and suitable for many occasions. Top Sillage and double-digit durability. Especially the first hours he performs very well. Thumbs up.Surely it must have been a very good day for Ted Lapidus. Not only did he feel a bit stronger again health-wise, no, a long-awaited sense of accomplishment provided renewed courage and confidence in life. Since he had retired to the Côte d'Azur in the mid-1990s, he had been experimenting with new fragrance creations here in his small, private perfume laboratory, more for his own pleasure and for the fun of it. Yesterday in the evening the big throw seemed to succeed, because a sweet-oriental gem pushed vehemently and intensely from one of the Erlenmeyer flasks of the experimental series. I find the Gaultier2 easily on the female side, this Altamir easily on the masculine side. But both are quite unisex. However, this Altamir is also well wearable in advanced age.
