Altair

This fragrance is a beautiful spicy-fruity-floral and musky fragrance similar to Black Orchid by Tom Ford. The composition starts with a sweet red-berry accord combined with an earthy vetiver note then a dry fruity and truffle accord takes the lead followed by a sexy musky and a powdery cassis-patchouli and amber dry down. The blending is really well done and performance is great for that price point.😊👍🏽 This is definitely a bang for the buck alternative to Black Orchid.⭐️ The nose behind this smart creation is the talented Christian Provenzano @cpparfums . Thumbs up for this creation by Spirit of Kings, I am really curious now to discover what the rest of the line offers.😊

Light amber in woods. Overall, a feminine aura. An earthy fragrance for women that doesn’t smell like cat piss. Sweet and spicy overtone. Somewhere near a 🙂. Lots of depth and nuance, as it goes with SOK.

I'm surprised that tobacco isn't in this. I'm getting smoky, a bit of spicy, and this pleasant, lightly fruity sweetness. This fruity sweetness is obviously synthetic since I cannot pinpoint exactly what the notes are. Drydown is sweet, feminine, and pleasant. No aversion to this like how I experienced TF Black Orchid. Pleasant but forgettable. Longevity is beast though. Can still smell the skin scent on me the next morning.

Altair is an impressive fragrance to say the least. A combination of particular and rich notes, including truffle, make it earthy but not too dark, but then the central ones open it up and make it bright, creamy and flowery. Like the story it tells: that of two kingdoms, the land of the sun and the land of the moon, perpetually at war. The two kings will decide to make peace and sacrifice themselves for the good of their people: the first giving the most precious thing he has: his daughter in marriage, the second accepting her albeit reluctantly. Sacrifice for good. A virtue that only a few “kings” have. Versatile, suitable for any season. “The Allegory of Peace” painted by Rubens.

This might be Spirit if Kings’ attenpt to fix Black Orchid It’s beautiful I like it better than Black Orchid. Performance is great and you cannot beat this price for the quality you are getting.
