Althaïr Exclusif extends Althaïr into an olfactory sonata inspired by eighteenth-century music. Bergamot, amaretto and saffron open the composition on a chord both lively and velvety.
Cinnamon, orange blossom, cardamom and praline form a gourmand, spicy heart, before a base of Bourbon vanilla, guaiac wood and Ambrox. An intense, refined woody gourmand amber.

Althaïr Exclusif in detail
Parfums de Marly draws on the festivities of the Château de Marly, where the court of Louis XV celebrated the arts. Althaïr Exclusif, presented in parfum concentration, takes the vanilla of Althaïr and makes it more intense: a gourmand, spicy amber that evokes amaretto and praline.
The official pyramid opens on bergamot, almond and saffron, a start that is fresh, sweet and warm at once. The heart brings together cinnamon, orange blossom, cardamom and praline, which reinforce its gourmand side. The base pairs vanilla, smoky guaiac wood and ambroxan.
Althaïr Exclusif is worn in the evening, in autumn and winter: an end-of-year party, a dinner, a night by the fire.
