Althair

Parfums de Marly Althair dupe, inspired by the original

Parfums de Marly Althair is a warm, smooth oriental that balances a soft spice and lavender opening with a cosy amber and sandalwood base. Our interpretation carries that character in a long lasting Eau de Parfum, made in the EU.

The Story Behind the Scent

Parfums de Marly is known for rich, refined fragrances, and Althair leans warm and comforting. Bergamot and cardamom open it bright and softly spiced, jasmine and lavender add an aromatic floral heart, and a base of amber, sandalwood and musk gives it a smooth, cosy warmth. It smells polished and easy to wear, warm without being heavy.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

We do not claim this is identical, because no interpretation is. What we have built follows the same warm oriental signature of the original, rebuilt at up to 40% perfume oil so it projects clearly early on and lingers longer than a typical spray. A little goes a long way.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who likes a warm, smooth, refined scent. It is at its best in autumn and winter and in the evening, and it wears as a unisex fragrance.
