Which Should You Buy?
Athalia from Parfums de Marly is a divisive, gothic iris number. It's either an enigmatic, sophisticated powdery dream or a harsh, old-fashioned nightmare resembling burnt rubber or mothballs. A love-it-or-hate-it scent for the bold.
No. 194 recreates Kylie Jenner's Cosmic blood orange-jasmine-amber blend well on the opening, but performs closer to skin than the original and the vanilla-cedar-musk base fades sooner.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and elegant, somewhat serious powdery iris make it suitable for office wear, although some find it too strong. It really shines in formal settings and on dates, given its sophisticated and sensual character. It's definitely not a casual or sport fragrance.
Seasons
A bright fruity-floral suited to spring and summer wear; too light for cold winter conditions.
Occasions
Playful and radiant enough for casual daytime wear and light dates, without the density for formal settings.
