Athalia. Dark, elegant, mysterious and at the same time noble and well-groomed.
One of the most beautiful scents I know.
The fragrance is heavy and smoky, yet still wearable during the day. It absolutely smells of luxury and is worth every cent. The pleasant creaminess makes it a feel-good scent that actually fits almost any occasion (except maybe in summer at over 30 degrees).
Everything is perfectly blended and no note stands out unpleasantly. The fragrance has no significant development. Frankincense, orange, and iris are consistently present.
The longevity is over eight hours.
It strongly reminds me of Prada Infusion d'Iris, which annoys me with something during the long wear. This is not the case with Athalia. It is simply perfect.
Ps: Those who like Athalia will probably also enjoy Safanad by Parfums de Marly
The similarity to Infusion d'Iris is definitely there, mainly in the top notes, I think. But since I love Infusion, Athalia is a great addition to my collection, with excellent longevity and a pleasant mineral sweetness, very feminine.
