Impeccable price-to-quality ratio. Without a doubt, this is ESIKA’s crown jewel, surpassing even its own launches from 15 years ago. Although they reformulated it and changed the bottle over the years, it still competes with much more expensive fragrances today.
Ideal for the gym or casual wear. It’s versatile but short-lived; smells like the rich lavender from the catalogue, nothing to stand out in the office or school. The projection is just right for sports.
A potent lavender note at first, which fades quickly due to the alcohol and that fruity touch. The scent is rich, but the longevity is minimal, leaving a green alcoholic trail on the skin. It works well for informal occasions if you apply it a few minutes before heading out.
Greetings! First review from a novice: I’ve had this for years, but lately I’ve expanded my collection. It’s a classic blue, fresh and marine scent, though it feels synthetic and alcoholic given its low cost. I live in Bogotá and it’s curious: this Altheus lasts much longer than a Hugo Boss Bottled Infinite or a Halloween Man X, which, despite being more expensive, vanish in no time. I give it good marks for longevity, not quality. I have a 15-year-old bottle that I love; the closest match I’ve found is the Polo Blue EDP, though it’s a different league entirely. Does anyone know of a quality perfume similar to Altheus without so much alcohol?
Although many criticise the lavender, I’ve loved it. It has excellent trail and projection for the price. Unlike others, alcoholic lavender has never bothered me, perhaps because I let it macerate quite a bit before using it.

I’ve tried this perfume several times but still haven’t managed to get a taste for it, even after some time has passed. As for the scents, you can definitely detect lavender, and to be honest, I only smell lavender with some fresh herbal notes; the rest smells like shampoo. I sniffed the fragrance on its cap and only perceived a scent of shampoo, lavender, and alcohol. The opening is just alcohol and a very synthetic lavender, which I understand given its price. As for longevity, it lasts very little and the projection is non-existent. I haven’t tested it on skin because it’s not a scent I like, but on the cap the projection is about 12 cm and then it’s gone, and the trail is also non-existent. In my opinion, I wouldn’t recommend it.
I’ve tried several times to get used to it but haven’t been able to, even after some time. It smells of lavender and fresh herbal notes, but the rest sounds like shampoo to me; even smelling the cap, I only detect that soapy alcohol scent. The opening is just alcohol and a very synthetic lavender. I understand that for the price it may not last long or have much projection, but on the cap it barely reaches 12 cm. I haven’t tried it on skin because it’s not a scent I like, and in my personal opinion, I don’t recommend it.
It’s a very strong and alcoholic lavender at first; it’s not an excellent fragrance, but it has its place for smelling clean on a hot day in very informal situations. Cheers.

One day I took a taxi and the scent of lavender drifting from the car was simply lovely. I asked the driver if he used an air freshener, and he told me no, that it was his perfume: this Altheus. I even took a photo of the bottle because I’ve already decided I’m going to buy it.
Today, when I took a taxi, I immediately sensed a very pleasant lavender aroma. I asked the driver what air freshener he used in his car, but he told me he didn’t use any, perhaps it was his perfume. I asked which one it was and it turned out to be this Altheus. I took a photo of the perfume bottle, as I’m happy to buy it for myself.
I’m a huge fan of perfumes with lavender notes and this is no exception. Putting on around 8 sprays (two per location), it lasts about six hours with occasional light bursts, not bad for the price. In my opinion, it’s for a young adult aged 25 and up; I recommend it.
I’m a huge lavender fan and this one is no exception. I spray about eight sprays and it lasts around six hours with gentle bursts every now and then. For the price, it’s not bad at all; it seems ideal for someone young adult, aged 25 and up. I recommend it.
Minty, fresh and incredibly seductive, with that crystal-clean vibe of the classic blue fragrances from the 90s. It has a fruity touch reminiscent of Puig’s Quorum and CoFinLuxe’s Watt. Easy to like and highly recommended.
Delicious and fresh, mentholated, very seductive, clean and very clear, so to speak. It has some fruity notes, reminiscent of Quorum by Puig and Watt by CoFinLuxe. Recommended. It’s a classic blue style from the 90s, easy to like. A classic blue fougère, you’ll love it.
