Althaïr (UNBOXED)

Althaïr by Parfums de Marly is an oriental-vanilla fragrance that blends warm spices, rich bourbon vanilla, and creamy gourmand notes into a refined and luxurious composition. Smooth, comforting, and sophisticated, it showcases vanilla in a modern masculine style with elegant woody depth. It was released in 2023 and was created by Hamid Merati-Kashani and Ilias Ermenidis. It opens with cinnamon, orange blossom, cardamom, and bergamot, creating a warm, spicy, and lightly citrusy introduction. The heart reveals bourbon vanilla and elemi, adding creamy sweetness with a subtle resinous freshness. The base settles into praline, musk, ambroxan, guaiac wood, tonka bean, and candied almond, resulting in a rich, smooth, and long-lasting gourmand drydown with warm woody nuances. Best suited for evenings, special occasions, and cooler seasons, Althaïr performs with excellent longevity and a refined, comforting presence, making it ideal for someone who enjoys luxurious vanilla fragrances with spicy warmth and creamy gourmand richness. It belongs to the Masculine Collection and is an Eau de Parfum concentration.
