Parfums de Marly Athalia is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Athalia opens with Bitter Orange and Frankincense, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Iris, and Cashmeran, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Vanilla. Parfums de Marly's Athalia carries a Favourite verdict, a powdery-led wear.

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.

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.

About

Athalia opens with a sharp, slightly bitter orange and frankincense, swiftly leading into a powdery explosion of iris and orange blossom. The heart is all about that creamy, soft cashmeran, before settling into a warm, musky amber and vanilla base. It evokes a cold yet sensual mystery, with whispers of vintage allure and dark elegance.
