Parfums de Marly Althaïr
Majestic bourbon vanilla, warm cinnamon, and praline over a noble base of woods and musk.
Althaïr offers a fresh, noble take on Madagascar bourbon vanilla. It opens with a sophisticated blend of Ceylon cinnamon, Guatemalan cardamom, and delicate orange blossom that gives the opening lift and elegance. The heart delivers a generous dose of creamy vanilla enriched by resinous elemi. The drydown introduces toasted praline, smoky guaiac wood, and ambroxan, creating a rich woody-gourmand sillage that lingers luxuriously for hours.
