ALTAIA Amank'ay

WHAT I SMELL:  Sparkling like sunlight on gemstones, a touch of pink pepper ignites Amank'ay.  And right from first spritz, the perfume embraces you in a warm enveloping hug that’s both comforting and invigorating.  Soon, a delicate lotus flower unfolds, its ethereal beauty grounded by a whisper of cool, aquatic depths.  As the perfume continues to develop, a soft ambrette melds with the warmest of sandalwood, along with what seems to be a bit of gourmand sugared glaze that is as subtle as a whisper.  In the end, Amank’ay surrounds the wearer with a beautiful bloom.  Amank’ay is gorgeous.

From the Atlaia website:

In Patagonia, where the wild rugged landscape lets emotions roam free, legend tells of the Amank’ay flower which symbolizes the tender surrender of one’s heart.

Nestled between ancient forests and fast-flowing rivers, the spectacle of an Amank’ay meadow in full bloom touches the soul of all who behold it, and it is this awe-inspiring beauty that Marina and Sebastián sought to encapsulate in a luminous tribute to the sweet bond of love.

Amank’ay, the flower of love.

Notes: Pink Pepper, Nashi, Helvetolide, Lotus Flower, Ambrette Seeds, Sandalwood.

WHAT IT SMELLS LIKE TO ME: A dream-like lotus flower dance.

THREE WORDS THAT DESCRIBE AMANK’AY: Calming, contented, soothing.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT AMANK’AY: No written reviews found.

BOTTOM LINE:  Amank’ay is like meditation in a bottle.  It’s so beautiful in form and feeling and easily will make you feel calmer as soon as it graces your skin.  This could easily be a much needed addition to your collection…especially when you need some time for quiet reflection.
