Parfums de Marly Althaïr Exclusif is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2026, created by Hamid Merati-Kashani. Althaïr Exclusif opens with Amaretto, Bergamot, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Cardamom, Cinnamon, and Praline, and dries down to a base of Guaiac Wood, Vanilla, and Ambroxan. Parfums de Marly's Althaïr Exclusif carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A boozier, richer take on the original Althaïr, this flanker brings a sophisticated depth, though some might find it a bit too similar to justify the price. Expect a polarising crowd: lovers of deep gourmands will adore it, but Althaïr purists might not be convinced.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

With eternal longevity and enormous sillage, this isn't an office-friendly scent; it's too potent. Its rich, boozy gourmand profile and evening-leaning character make it ideal for dates and cooler-weather formal events, with some casual appeal if you're feeling bold.

About

Althaïr Exclusif bursts open with a boozy hit of amaretto, spiced with saffron and a bright whisper of bergamot. As it settles, a sweet praline heart emerges, warmed by cinnamon and a delicate orange blossom, while cardamom adds an aromatic twist. The dry down is a luxurious embrace of creamy vanilla and smoky guaiac wood, rounded out by the modern warmth of ambroxan.
