Althaïr

Althaïr by Parfums de Marly – fresh off the press in 2023, this one’s a sweet, spicy, and downright decadent release from Parfums de Marly. Brought to life by the dynamic duo of Hamid Merati-Kashani and Ilias Ermenidis, Althaïr is the kind of scent that makes you want to dress sharp, sit back, and enjoy life’s finer things—without taking it all too seriously. The top kicks things off with a warm, spicy hit—cinnamon, cardamom, orange blossom, and a splash of bergamot. It’s cozy, a little zesty, and sets the stage for what’s to come. The heart goes smooth and creamy with bourbon vanilla and elemi—rich, resinous, and sweet like a boozy dessert. The base is where this thing really shines—praline, musk, ambroxan, guaiac wood, tonka, and candied almond come together in a warm, sweet, and slightly nutty dry-down that sticks around like your favorite sweater on a chilly night.

Final Verdict: Althaïr by Parfums de Marly is a gourmand with a touch of grown-up swagger—sweet, spicy, and smooth without being sticky or cloying. Perfect for cooler weather, date nights, or anytime you want to smell like a modern gentleman who knows how to indulge.
