Cozumel, from Laboratorio Olfattivo was released in 2010. The perfumer behind this creation is Marie Duchêne. It has the top notes of Basil, Bergamot, and Green Notes, middle notes of Amber, Cannabis, Clary Sage, and White Tobacco, and base notes of Cedarwood, Incense, Sandalwood, and Tonka Bean.
My very first Olfattivo and I thought I'd go for the more masculine sounding of the samples I received. Cozumel opens well enough with a tiny hint of citrus and clary sage but is quickly populated by a dominant sandalwood. It comes over a bit like a milky, herbal brew which sweetens with tonka bean...It's wearable and everything but doesn't excite me strange really because I like sandalwood a lot. I think it's too subtle and not spicy enough nor does it have good enough notes surrounding it to bring out the creaminess. The drydown is very descrete and hints at getting a little bit dirtier but is still just quite pleasant. Not all that sure what to make of this? It definitely smells like some other scents I've tried so doesn't score well on originality either. Don't get me wrong though, it's a like not a love and performance was okay although it sits very close very quick.
