Parfums de Marly - Althair

Althaïr is a contemporary tribute to the noble Bourbon vanilla, a timeless icon of perfumery and a legacy ingredient introduced to France during the reign of Louis XV. Crafted with elegance and charisma, this fragrance captures the refined versatility of vanilla in a new light—majestic, fresh, and unexpectedly modern. It opens with a refined blend of orange blossom, bright bergamot, and a hint of warm cinnamon, setting a luminous and inviting tone. At its heart, the richness of Bourbon vanilla meets the subtle spice of elemi, creating a comforting yet vibrant core. The base unfolds with smoky guaiacwood, creamy praline, sensual musk, and ambrox, adding depth and texture. A luxurious scent that balances heritage with innovation.
