Antalya is one of the most captivating fragrances in the Max Joacim portfolio. The nose behind this fragrance — Max Perttula.
Country of origin — Finland. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
One of those fragrances you never forget, even years later. The official website of Max Joacim — https://www.danieljouvance.com.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The scent of Antalya is shaped as a continuous scent journey, where layers reveal themselves smoothly and sequentially. The creative approach of Max Joacim is clear in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Nothing here feels random, and the composition keeps a clear direction.
At olfactory-group level the profile is anchored in Citrus, Green, Floral and Whiteflower. The palette also extends to Animals, Wood, Gourmet and Musk.
In the top tier you detect radiant lemon-bergamot first notes: Bergamot and Galbanum.
In the heart you sense Clove, Iris, Jasmine, Neroli, Rose and White Flowers carrying a opulent floral direction. In the base the composition is fixed through Grey Ambergris, Guaiac wood, Iris, Osmanthus, Sandalwood and Vanilla, extending a earthy woody-resinous trail.
The accord architecture rests on these accords: Citrus, Floral, Musc and Wood without random overlap. Secondary accord layers such as Powdery, Amber and Spicy add depth to the backdrop. The gender direction is feminine, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
In summary Antalya reads as a cohesive composition — the start forms character, the middle layer carries the identity, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the fragrances best judged on skin.
