Quite lovely but it’s exactly like high quality pure jasmine absolute straight from the bottle.

I feel this perfume to be what really a “carnal flower” is.
Unfortunately lasts so short… less than one hour on me.
At first you can think it’s a bomb due to the indolic explosion of the jasmine and civet, but no, this is not, it becomes quiet and dies in an hour.
But really, one hour of pleausure, if you know what a real jasmine essence smells like.

I don’t know why it get so many dislike.
For me.It is so beautiful and wild. In the openning I smell some animal scent, but when 30 min passed,a gorgeous,pure jasmine is full in bloom! maybe not ladylike enough but unique and glamorous!

Its very intense,fresh, beautiful, fierce,intoxicating and one of a kind. Add the opoponax, myrrh, incense, civet, rose I love as a vintage oriental enthusiast–game over, this has consumed me.
This is a white indolic lush experience. Moderate longevity and mixes great with Bond-t. I get a compliment every time I wear this
9.5/10

Well.. it is trully jasmine incense at max with some metallic watery notes, I guess the metallic jasmines creates an animalic effect on the overall juice.
Not bad although I don’t like jasmine much and still needs more testing for me.

Sammarco is all about the juice. No verbose backstories, no fancy packagings and, most of all, no hype and no cheap-poetry. A bunch of extremely high-quality ingredients effortlessly blended into little masterpieces that are way more complex than an initial look might suggest. A great example of a lost kind of perfumery that relies on the main player: perfume.
Alter is basically a massive indolic jasmine of rare beauty enriched by a subtle and yet quite remarkable civet note and something bitter and kind of almondy (mimosa or maybe heliotrope). The opening is extremely vivid and portraits the main ingredient in all its natural raw quality. Indolic, unprettified with a sort of freshly-cut mushroom facet and obviously very floral. The pairing with civet is perfect and instead of enhancing the potential challenging aspect of the combo, it provides a warm and carnal vein while other smooth yellow florals serve as refinements. It’s a striking fragrance that doesn’t need to rely on volume to make its statement. Instead it’s calm, close to the skin and yet somehow, dangerous and daring.
If you’re up for a *pretty* jasmine, you should probably look somewhere else. Instead, if a true to life, high-end quality white floral is what you’re after, Alter will most definitely fit your bill. A fragrance that’s fascinating, visceral and educational at the same time. Think about some of the best JAR minus the pretentiousness and you’re there.
Sammarco doesn’t need to promise, it just delivers.
Rating: 8.5/10

this very expensive perfume was send to me on a mouillette.
the open is extremely ‘white ‘ for me.
the sambac jasmine run through the myrrh, pull out its bitter note.
tiny mimosa is defenceless….
little ‘biting’ for me.
