Altika is an intriguing mix of mint and woody notes. It does initially give a burst of freshness, although it’s pretty soft and does stay fairly close to the skin with modest (though detectable) projection. It’s not a sweet fragrance, but fellow Brits will definitely recognise a smell of mint humbugs (British candy) in the drydown. Not groundbreaking, but rather comforting and a nice one to have in my collection.

I find this one quite hard to describe. Smells good. It is subtle rather than strong but surprisingly persistent. It feels natural and fresh but has a slight warmth to it along with a gentle woodiness.
Starts off pleasant and airy, very slightly woody and quite fresh. It projects well for 2 hours or so but after that it is purely a skin scent. Lasts on skin reasonably well for 6 hours after which it weakens. It is just about detectable at 10-12 hours.
A very natural smelling, pleasant, warmer weather scent with short-lived projection but more than reasonable longevity. Its subtlety makes this a good, quite fresh, summer daytime/office fragrance.

Very first impressions, so far I cannot decide if I like or dislike the scent. Someone here mentioned a burnt electric motor. It exactly popped-up in my mind when I was exposed to Altika. As the time passes on, the pleasant cedar tones slowly dominate the wave of ozone.

This is a strange fragrance. It reminds me of a wiff of electric ozone. I would like to add after a while Altika does have a nice faint cedar in the base.

I see this as a nice daytime scent for men in their 20s or 30s. It’s a fresh scent without being like e.g. “Cool Water” , because it’s still soft and not disturbing.

This is very big suprise for me. I did not expect anything extra, but this one is very nice!!! It’s sweet, light, fresh and “cold”. I I love it!

Hi Gypsy! That is really great you stating the natural ingredients! I used to try out all sorts of high end facial cremes of Guerlain and Chanel, but they never got absorbed by my skin. And since I use a lot of makeup, my foundation would sit on top of the facial cream!! Now I stick to good old Yves Rocher, since it is the only brand that my skin will accept and absorb!!

I used to sell Yves Rocher and this fragrance was listed in the catalog as having a cool ozone top note, polar mint in the heart and a base of cedar; refreshing like arctic air and massive like the frozen mountains. It is nice, simple and clean…good work/office fragrance or for a nite out if your date likes clean fresh scents. It is very simple and at the same time quite elegant. This will offend no one and even my aunt who is deathly “allergic” to perfumes/colognes likes this one. Must be the natural ingredients…released in 2009.
