Product description
Althaïr is Parfums de marly’s polished take on the vanilla-amber genre. Rather than leaning gourmand or overly sweet, it delivers a smooth, composed warmth that feels modern and assured. The vanilla is creamy and controlled, never sugary, supported by amber and woods that give the fragrance structure and depth.
What sets Althaïr apart is its balance. It carries the brand’s signature richness, yet wears lighter and cleaner than heavier ambers. Up close it feels luxurious and confident; in the air it remains refined and restrained. If you enjoy Parfums de marly’s DNA but want something contemporary and easy to wear, Althaïr sits perfectly in that space.
