Parfums de Marly Althair Exclusif

Rich, addictive and indulgent, Parfums de Marly Althaïr Exclusif takes the much-loved vanilla character of the original Althaïr and pushes it in a deeper, warmer and more gourmand direction.

The fragrance opens with bright bergamot contrasted by the smooth, liqueur-like character of amaretto and the warm richness of saffron. As it develops, cinnamon and cardamom introduce aromatic spice while orange blossom and praline add a creamy, sweet quality.

At the base is an intensified dose of Bourbon vanilla, joined by guaiac wood and ambrox. The result is a warm, sophisticated gourmand that feels sweet and luxurious without losing the polished character associated with Parfums de Marly.

What does Althaïr Exclusif smell like?

Althaïr Exclusif smells warm, creamy, spicy and intensely vanilla-led.

The opening combines saffron and bergamot with a distinctive amaretto accord, giving the fragrance a slightly boozy, almond-like sweetness. Cinnamon, cardamom and praline then make the heart increasingly rich and gourmand.

As it dries down, Bourbon vanilla becomes the star, supported by smooth woods and amber-like warmth. Compared with the original Althaïr, Exclusif feels richer, sweeter and more decadent, with the amaretto, saffron and intensified vanilla giving it a noticeably more indulgent character.

If you enjoy luxurious vanilla fragrances with warm spices and gourmand notes, Althaïr Exclusif is one to try.

When would you wear Althaïr Exclusif?

Althaïr Exclusif is particularly well suited to autumn and winter, when its rich vanilla, praline and warming spices really come into their own.

It's an excellent choice for evenings, dates, dinners, nights out and special occasions, but its smooth and polished character also makes it easy to dress up for smarter daytime wear during colder weather.

For anyone looking for a fragrance that's warm, seductive, gourmand and luxurious, Althaïr Exclusif makes a particularly strong cold-weather signature scent.
