Laboratorio Olfattivo Cozumel Fragrance Review

laboratorio-olfattivo-cozumel-2

* Citrus and cedar is on top with a spicy basil mixed in.  

* Projection and strength are massive with everyone around you being able to smell spicy pencils on you.

* The cedar stays as a dominant note throughout the life of the fragrance – with sweet amber and sage joining in mid development.

* Once it gets to this point, it comes closer to the skin and doesn’t project too loudly.

* A sweet, non-churchy incense and creamy sandalwood joins the amber in the warming dry down.

Summary: Cozumel is a Carribean Island off the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico  Gorgeous warm weather and plentiful water-based activites make this tropical island a popular stop for cruise ships and vacations.  This scent is definitely one that you need to test for yourself, because every other review I read makes it sound like a gorgeous tropical vacation scent.  On my skin it’s a cedar bomb from beginning to end.  I am not a huge fan of cedar, so it’s not something that I personally enjoy.  I tried to find some link between Cozumel and cedar and the closest I found online was Cedar Pass- a scuba dive site which has gorgeous fish.  Yes, I know- random.  Longevity is good at over eight hours, and once you get past the initial projection this would be a nice manly, office scent (I just don’t see Cedar as a feminine note).

Laboratorio Olfattivo Cozumel is available at MIN New York.
