No, this scent makes me feel ill. I don't understand what the body shop are doing with this range. I usually love their fragrances but this is just too heady. Its sickening and way too sweet.

Zinzibar, Citrella and Altaro are my least favorite in the 'invent your scent' range (my faves from the range being Amorito, Aztique and Chymara...they all have terrible lasting power though, so i...

This is my general fallback scent. I dunno why people don't like it on themselves, it smells cinnamon-ey but fresh and almost herbal. Goes especially well with rose scents. I get a lot of...

I simply adore Altaro. It smells sooo good, I usually get a lot of compliments on it.
On me it's more of a musc and sandalwood blend.
Layering it with vanilla seems to add some softness to it...

I did not like this at all. I was reminded of a used toilet when first spritzed (sorry for the image), and now it's not that bad, but still unpleasant to my nose.

I feel I should stick up for this product. Scent is probably the most personal matter of opinion there is. But Altaro by no means smells like bubblegum, muddy dogs, or woodsheds (well, maybe the...

This is the worst of the "Invent Your Scent" collection. It smells like a combination of muddy dog and wet fertilizer. It is in no way romantic or elegant. I find it very unappealing and I don't...

Altaro is one of my favorite of the Invent-Your-Scents, and one of the few I bought in the bigger bottle. I love the deep, woody-spiciness. It is especially nice with Zinzibar (very spicy) and...

This is pretty close to what I've been searching for. I like subdued, warm, *skin* scents. This is a very light oriental, in my opinion there is nothing typical about this. I've always liked...

Finally, I come to the last of the 9 scents in my little sampler pack. Altaro smells typically "oriental", kind of like a lighter version of Opium or Coco. On me, the clove stands out the most. ...

Ok, I went to CP this for someone last night, but it was so yummy I had to get one for myself too! I'm very selective with fragrances, as in, I only wear like two different ones. So it's a big deal...

I would like to thank the Body Shop for perfectly capturing the scent of my grandfathers garage in New England- like raw old wood and kinda damp. Tidy but not exactly clean, because, after all, it...
