Tantrico

Tantrico. I had no idea this was a sandalwood attar and i wore this fragrance twice prior. I thought I trained my nostrils quite well, but apparently I have a long way to go. Now that I am aware, I distinctly can pick it up and I am actually ashamed I did not pick it up before. My nose is focused on the aromatic notes like the sage, juniper and even the citrus notes came at me before. What was I thinking? Cypress? Yes. Balsam fir? Yes I get that. Or I got that. The sandalwood went right over my head. But it's punching me in the face today. How funny. Does that say something about me or does that say something about the brand? Maybe this house is better than I thought. This is in the masters collection after all. I don't know much about Tantrism. I do know it is similar to Hinduism and it is very spiritual, magical and mystical. Those are good words to describe Tantrico. It is one of the best sandalwoods I've ever experienced. Laboratorio mentioned on their website that they use the highest quality attars available. Or they make them themselves. I'm not entirely sure of that. What I do know is that, particularly in Islamic cultures, attars attracted angels and repelled evil spirits. Sufi saints would adorn themselves with these scents to assist them in their Journey towards Enlightenment. It is easy to experience the symbolic nature when you have Tantrico on. Other fragrances in this collection such as Vanagloria seem to overshadow Tantrico and I think that is a shame. If you cannot tell by now, I like to talk about fragrances that are not hyped up. This particular one is a good example and it is well deserving to be experienced. If you like meditative fragrances, I recommend you go out of your way and try it. Especially for the price. It's only $165 which is incredible.

I received a mini spray free with another purchase. I never tried this brand before. I’m also a woman. This is VERY good, though it definitely feels more masculine to me. I’m baffled by the negative reviews. This smells like the sexiest man wearing his daily go-to type scent. Spicy woody and fresh. I get nothing off putting at all here. First sniff made me want to buy a bottle for my husband. Smells refined, well blended, quality. Nothing screechy or synthetic at all. Has a touch of BR540 type spicy woods to it but without the sugary base. Light and inoffensive. I’d say office safe, but I’d keep sniffing a man I smelled this on him out at night. Unisex, yes, but slightly more masculine leaning. I noticed nothing off about the opening at all. Smelled like cologne that was just sprayed, as it dries, notes emerge. Standard fragrance behavior. I have no clue what would seem off putting to anyone. This has a mainstream feel to it but is such a better blend and better quality than 90% of the funky weird chemical niche crap I smell on men nowadays. This is a very standard warm fresh spicy woody mens scent well done and well blended with quality ingredients. No synthetic notes, no funky musks, mostly woods and herbs, some quality fresh evergreens, with a touch of spice and citrus. My chemistry isn’t amplifying any musk notes at all. I’m either sampling the wrong scent, or the haters be hating (I’m not sampling the wrong scent). People will like smelling you when you wear this.

Beautiful fresh herbal and resinous perfume. The scent is quite complex and anything but linear. For every hour on my skin it changes and shifts between fresh, slightly bitter citrus notes and resinous, warm woody notes. It starts a bit harsh and stingy. Reminds me a bit of gasoline, probably from the sage. After a few hours it becomes very warm and a bit spicy with a lot of wood but still retains a gorgeous freshness over the resin and wood. Highly recommended if you are into woody, herbal and resinous fragrances. Scent: 8.5/10 Sillage: 6/10 Longevity: 7/10 complexity: 9.5/10

I absolutely adore it. Fresh and smoothly spicy, unique but not bizarre, unisex leaning masculine at first but adapts on skin. (Turns peppery- musky on me and more citric yet deep on my boyfriend) It was the first fragrance I ever tried by LO and I was absolutely impressed by this and anything else that I tried.

it open with some thing woody and a bit sour juniper berry and devolop into woody+piney kind of scent so fresh so clean love this one so much but i think its quiet weak. i suggest you to overspray this fragrance when you wear it.
