Parfums de Marly - Althaïr (PRE-ORDER)

Althair is a love letter to vanilla done right. Not the sweet, dessert-style vanilla you find in mass-market fragrances, but a rich, resinous Bourbon vanilla that feels warm and sophisticated. The opening has a sparkling brightness, citrus and spice, before the vanilla takes centre stage alongside iris and benzoin. The result is magnetic in the best possible way. Gourmand in spirit but elegant in execution, Althair is one of those fragrances that genuinely surprises people.
