Description
“Nostalgia is a form of time travel for the emotions, and scent can be the most powerful way to trigger it. For Laboratory Perfumes, a whiff of pipe tobacco can be enough to unleash a fond flood of childhood memories into the hippocampus. So, when it came to determining the base for our fifth fragrance, we chose something very personal – that earthily aromatic tobacco note.
With the help of a knowledgeable but somewhat bemused tobacconist, we went through dozens of different blends and cures in search of the right scent to build upon. The one we settled on had a whisper of the exotic, reminiscent of Morocco, so back in the lab we introduced supportive layers of rum, vanilla and hay that intensified its North African character. Spiced with cinnamon, ginger and black pepper, and complemented with the warming, woody aromas of fine Cognac, the result is a complex and confident fragrance that unveils intriguing new layers and facets as the day goes on.” – a note from the brand.
Atlas was launched in 2017.

Starts with a rush of spiced dark rum and cognac, moist sweet tobacco and dried fruit. As it dry’s down it becomes more gourmand as the vanilla and tonka kick in, orange peel and a ginger note add a little spark. There’s a little coconut and lavender in the mix,the coconut note becomes stronger in the heat. The tobacco and rum linger in the background but never become overbearing.
Lasts well on me 12 hours +.
I’ve smelt strong Vetiver the following day on skin areas where I had sprayed this.

I bought this as I really loved this on initial application and moving into the heart notes. However, something went wrong at drydown and it went from sublime to unpleasant (consequently I ended up selling my bottle). The top is boozy and at the same time fresh and ozonic, the middle is warm and spicy but the end just turned (on me) into a cloying, slightly body odourish vanilla bomb that at that point made me dislike it intensely. I was really disappointed as I thought I’d found a slightly off-kilter summer fragrance and the price point is excellent. Don’t be discouraged, maybe it was my chemistry that turned it weird; if it works on you I think you’ll love it. Hunt it out and give it a go.
