Out high and still on the ground.
I shot something really good on ebay for really little money!
I wasn't sure what to expect, but as a nostalgic scent lover and due to the manageable financial risk I bid on ALTO (OVP and unopened!). And finally, I won the bid and was looking forward to my parcel.
Here at parfumo there has been no comment yet, so I have the honour to be the first to make a comment:
Even though ALTO translates from Italian as "high", the name does not do justice to the fragrance at all. The fragrance does not fly high, it is rather down-to-earth.
Alto is again a representative of the classical school: quite simply structured and therefore also very straightforward in its orientation. Some different fruit nuances can be sniffed right at the beginning and the beginning is also generally rather fresh. But after some time it's back: the classic men's fragrance of the 80s.
I would call the fragrance brittle-woody, but still it is pleasantly "unscratchy". According to the pyramid of scents, it must be the amber.
The shelf life of 6-7 hours is also acceptable. Of course, I would have liked a little bit more stamina, at least for the length of a working day. But in the end it's still bearable.
ALTO was created in the late 90s. But I think that as a tribute to the classics of the
70s and 80s. At least I would classify him without a doubt into these decades in terms of fragrance.
My Holde usually does not like these old-fashioned fragrances at all, she also finds most of them absolutely unbearable. But here she actually asked me what I would wear on my skin. And since her goodwill towards my classic fragrances (e.g. denim, brood) has a total rarity value, ALTO of course gets a place of honour in my already totally overloaded fragrance cabinet Conclusion: ALTO gives me a great feeling and finally lives up to its name.
