Parfums de Marly introduces Althaïr Exclusif, a new fragrance inspired by the power and elegance of 18th-century music. Building on the success of Althaïr, launched in 2023, the composition combines Bourbon vanilla with an amaretto accord, saffron and orange blossom.

A gourmand-ambery-woody fragrance, Althaïr Exclusif develops through contrasting notes designed to create depth and lasting presence. Its top notes include amaretto, bergamot and saffron, followed by cinnamon, orange blossom, cardamom and praline. Bourbon vanilla, guaiac wood and Ambrox form the base.

The fragrance celebrates Bourbon vanilla from Madagascar, produced through an ethical, sustainable and traceable process. Its amaretto accord draws on the tradition of almond-based elixirs and uses a “Smell-The-Taste” technique to translate flavor into fragrance.

Inspired by music at Versailles and Château de Marly, Althaïr Exclusif explores the balance between opulence and restraint, luxury and discretion, and intensity and refinement.
