Alto Astral

Alto Astral by Byredo is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with aldehydes and coconut, moves into incense, jasmine and musk and dries down to sandalwood, cashmere wood and amber. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

Aldehydes Fizzy, soapy, slightly waxy. The 'sparkle' at the top of Chanel No. 5.
Coconut Creamy and tropical. Suncream in the best possible way.

Heart

Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.

Dry-down

Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
Cashmere Wood Soft, fuzzy, slightly musky wood. Adds a blurred warmth.
Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
