Addictive, refined and captivating, this deeper expression pairs velvety amaretto with the warm radiance of saffron, creating a fragrance of indulgent contrasts and sophisticated warmth.

As the fragrance settles, intense Bourbon vanilla takes centre stage, enveloped by the woody depth of guaiac wood and the warm, sensual character of Ambrox. Rich yet polished, Althaïr Exclusif offers a captivating interpretation of vanilla with layers of spice, sweetness and woods.
