Althaïr explores a majestic, subtle and surprisingly fresh vanilla that is elegant, generous and charismatic.” Julien Sprecher, Founder and Artistic Director of Parfums de Marly.
From the Enlightenment to today, vanilla has evolved from a rare luxury to a cornerstone of modern perfumery. In the 18th century, as global trade flourished, this prized ingredient gained popularity in Europe.
Today, Parfums de Marly reinvents vanilla’s classic charm, blending it with spices, creamy woods, and ambery notes. Sensual and refined, its lasting presence honors tradition while embracing modern sophistication.
