The dance of atoms, of stars, of snowflakes, of attic dust. The fizzy carbonation of a cola drink. Cosmic breath captured in a perfume. Sparkling notes of sweet orange, mixed with liqueur, reminiscent of the warm, amber transparency of Cointreau. Altamura constantly evolves, transporting you to a nebula of incense expanding in the void, like an ascending cloud in space.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
For an evening when conversation is animated and your presence need not be discreet. The orange-liqueur sparkle brings an immediate flash of warmth, while cinnamon and incense give that brightness a darker edge as the room settles and people draw closer.
How to wear
Cool weather suits the contrast between sparkling citrus and warm, smoky spice. Begin with one or two sprays on skin beneath clothing, allowing the incense to unfold without overwhelming the orange. In warmer air or close quarters, use a lighter application to keep its expansive character in proportion.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to incense but unwilling to give up brightness. Altamura suits a taste for assertive spicy fragrances, liqueur-like citrus and amber warmth, especially when familiar notes are arranged with an unexpected fizzy, smoky contrast.

The nose
Bertrand Duchaufour is known for intricate compositions that bring incense, woods, spices and contrasting textures into unusually vivid focus. His work includes Comme des Garçons Avignon and L’Artisan Parfumeur Timbuktu and Dzongkha. In Altamura, his affinity for incense meets sparkling orange and a liqueur-like warmth, creating tension between brightness and smoky depth.
L'Entropiste’s story
L’Entropiste places entropy and deliberate imbalance at the centre of its creative identity. Led by Bertrand Duchaufour’s vision of a “Master of Disorder,” the house explores how contrasting materials can generate their own harmony rather than settle into static balance. Altamura translates that approach into luminous orange moving through a darker incense atmosphere.
Altamura’s concept
Altamura’s central image is a connection between earthly matter and cosmic movement. Atoms, stars, snowflakes and suspended dust inform a fragrance conceived as continual transformation: fizzy, alcoholic sweet orange gives way to incense imagined as a cloud expanding through space.
Extra info
The Cointreau reference describes an olfactory resemblance, not a confirmed ingredient. Altamura shares the house’s sculptural bottle, developed by Duchaufour with Centdegrés and inspired by Giacometti’s sculptural spirit, with imbalance and movement informing its design.
