From your scent profile
Laboratorio Olfattivo Alkemi is a sweet, smoky, woody unisex scent built around amber and patchouli, with frankincense and myrrh in the heart.
Skunky's take: Opens sweet, so if sugar is not your thing, think twice.

Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Sits nicely on a shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

What does Alkemi smell like?
Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, though it also works for leisure. Votes for masculine and feminine are equal, so it reads as truly in between.
It opens with ylang-ylang and amber. In the heart, Indonesian patchouli, Atlas cedar, Somalian frankincense and myrrh form a woody, resinous core. The base of amber, sandalwood, cashmere wood and vanilla softens it into a warm, gourmand sweetness. Daniel Josier Ambre Tabac and Franck Boclet Amber have a close profile.
