Parfums de Marly Althaïr

The "Textured Vanilla." Althaïr is an Amber Vanilla fragrance that is famous for its use of Bourbon Vanilla, a direct descendant of the vanilla used in the French royal courts. Unlike many sugary-sweet vanillas, this is "airy" and spicy. It opens with a bright, sophisticated burst of Orange Blossom and Bergamot, heavily dusted with Cinnamon and Cardamom. The heart reveals a rich, creamy Bourbon Vanilla that never feels "sticky" or juvenile. The dry down is a masterpiece of Praline, Musk, and Guaiac Wood, giving it a woody, almost leathery depth. It smells like a warm, spiced vanilla cream served in a room with expensive cedar furniture masculine, inviting, and opulent. 

Fragrance Notes :

• Top : Orange Blossom, Bergamot, Cinnamon, Cardamom.
• Heart : Bourbon Vanilla, Elemi (Resinous and slightly spicy).
• Base : Praline, Musk, Ambroxan, Guaiac Wood.

Care and Use :

• Apply : This is a high-performance niche scent. Apply 2–3 sprays for a day at the office, or 4–5 sprays for an evening out. It has a "magnetic" sillage it doesn't scream, but it draws people in. On the skin, it is a 10+ hour performer, and it will stay on a wool coat or sweater for days.
• Occasion : The ultimate Fall and Winter signature. Its warmth makes it perfect for Cold Weather and Special Occasions. While marketed for men, its creamy vanilla and praline notes make it a massive hit for women who enjoy "Dark Vanilla" scents.
• Store : Keep it in a cool, dry place. Avoid the "car dashboard" at all costs, as heat can turn the delicate orange blossom top note "rubbery."
