Parfums de Marly Akaster is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015. Akaster opens with Lemon and Cypress, settles into a heart of Rose and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Musk, Oud, and Cardamom. Parfums de Marly's Akaster carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Akaster is Parfums de Marly's take on the classic rose-oud, and it's divisive. Some find it a masterful, unique blend; others think it's a generic, overpriced mess. Definitely not a blind buy.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Given its long-lasting performance and strong sillage, Akaster is best suited for evenings and special occasions where it can make a statement without overwhelming. Its rich, dark profile also makes it less ideal for casual daytime wear or office environments.

About

Opens with a brisk, green flash of cypress and a hint of zesty lemon before plunging into a rich, deep heart of rose and geranium. The rose here isn't shy or sweet; it's a bold, almost jammy floral, supported by a distinct, slightly rubbery oud. As it dries, the warmth of cardamom emerges, wrapped in a smooth musk, lending an incense-like depth to the lingering rose and oud.
