Altar'd State Captivating No. 04
Altar'd State Captivating No. 04 is a unisex fragrance from the American perfume brand Altar'd State, launched in 2023.
This Eau de Parfum has a distinctive character and a very powerful sillage, making it a fitting choice for those who enjoy noticeable fragrances that linger in the memory.
Captivating No. 04 is built around the contrast between juicy mandarin, soft vanilla, white-floral ylang-ylang, woody-musky cashmeran and deep patchouli.
Together, these notes create a multifaceted profile at the intersection of floral, fruity and woody accords.
Thanks to its unisex positioning, the fragrance is not confined by strict gender boundaries and can develop differently depending on the skin.
Character and development
At the opening, mandarin gives the composition a fresh, sunny and slightly sparkling lift.
As the fragrance unfolds, ylang-ylang adds creamy floral softness, while vanilla makes the scent warmer and more alluring.
Cashmeran and patchouli gradually intensify the woody-musky facet, adding density, volume and a memorable dry-down.
The defining feature of Captivating No. 04 is the combination of citrus brightness and a rich, warm base.
There is no sense of simple, monotonous sweetness here: vanilla supports the floral and woody structure, while patchouli lends it depth.
As a result, the fragrance comes across as confident, sensual and versatile enough for a variety of looks.
Wearability and sillage
Its very powerful sillage makes this release especially suitable for evenings, dates, events and cool weather, when rich woody-vanilla compositions reveal themselves most expressively.
It can also make an impressive statement in warm weather, although it calls for more careful consideration of the number of sprays.
No precise recommendation for applying it to skin or clothing is available, so it is best to start with a small amount and gradually assess the intensity.
Captivating No. 04 will appeal to those looking for a noticeable fragrance with a citrus accent, floral softness and a lasting woody-musky base.
It is an option for lovers of compositions that do not dissolve into the surroundings, but instead create a recognizable aromatic presence around the wearer.
