Description
Altaïr is a relatively recent addition to Parfums de Marly's lineup, launched in 2023, yet already developing a dedicated following. Named after the brightest star in the Aquila constellation, the fragrance embodies the brand's Versailles-court aesthetic in an oriental register.
Orange blossom absolute and Italian bergamot meet Ceylon cinnamon and Guatemalan cardamom at the opening — simultaneously fresh and exotically spiced. This combination gives an excellent first impression that is neither cloying nor austere.
Bourbon vanilla from Madagascar and Philippine elemi meet in the heart, creating a creamy, warm, lightly resinous mid-layer. The base of Ambrox, guaiac wood and praline finishes the composition with an almost silky feel on skin.
For wholesale perfume buyers, Altaïr appeals to the broad audience favouring vanilla and oriental fragrances. Strategically positioned for markets in the Middle East and Mediterranean regions, it deserves a prominent place in any autumn-winter catalogue.
