Althaïr Parfums de Marly für Männer
PDM Althair neueste Veröffentlichung, die im August/September 2024 weltweit erwartet wird. Ich habe es aus einer Flasche vor der Veröffentlichung getestet. Erstaunlicher Duft und ich liebe ihn. Beast mode performance. Es ist eine Mischung aus Kalan und Pegasus mit etwas cremigem Vanila und Oud mit einem Hauch von Gewürzen - das ist es, was ich davon habe. Es ist super glatt mit pdm dna. Ich gebe diesem Duft eine 9/10 und wird meine Nummer 1 unter den pdm Düften sein.

Die Leute haben Rezensionen geschrieben und ihn bewertet, ohne ihn überhaupt zu testen, das ist einfach schlecht für die Duftliebhaber. Traurig

Warm and comforting vanilla
Althaïr by Parfums de Marly is a soft, comforting fragrance. Vanilla, of course, is the main star here but the other player is a woods and musk accord that is reminiscent of fresh laundry.

Opening with a good amount of citrus in the form of bergamot, Althaïr gives me a bit of Ani Extrait de Parfum vibes when it is first sprayed. Citrus, some spices and florals to round it out, with the vanilla in the background. However, that’s where the similarities end with the Nishane fragrance. While Ani heads deeper into the gourmand space, Althaïr introduces the aforementioned woods and musk accord, listed as guaiac wood, musk, and ambroxan in the note pyramid. I am reminded of Creed Original Santal or Montblanc Individuel Eau de Toilette but without the eponymous sandalwood. Instead the creaminess is provided by vanilla and the floral notes, listed as orange blossom. The vanilla itself is described as "bourbon" vanilla and it does give some boozy or tobacco tones. Although vanilla is the main note, I wouldn't really describe this as a gourmand fragrance per se. For me, the cinnamon and praline are not that prominent, and the scent profile is better described as woody and sweet.

It is a powerful fragrance. Projects well over 5-6 hours and lasts all day on the skin. Overall, really happy with my blind buy! It seems I’m enjoying all of Hamid Merati-Kashani’s creations of late. I even got a sample of Pegasus Exclusif with this purchase that is definitely full bottle worthy!

Althair is a unisex fragrance, not a men's fragrance.
https://parfums-de-marly.com/collections/to-share

Eight of Parfums De Marley's men's fragrances are officially recognized as unisex fragrances by the brand. Six (Herod, Pegasus, Kalan, Oajan, Carlisle) are also properly classified as unisex in Parfumo, but only Althair and Perseus continue to be incorrectly classified as men's fragrances.

Requests for correcting legitimate information are being rejected due to the strange stubbornness of certain management. As you all know, Parfumo's information is unreliable and full of errors. Information on released fragrances must always be followed from the 'official website'.

It's probably cheating . . .
If you are a man on a date and wear this, you are probably cheating. I can see a woman ready to jump your bones based on this smell alone - a caramel, cinnamon, dessert-like scent that somehow is still decidedly masculine. I think it's the cinnamon that keeps it masculine. For an easy way to think of it, it smells like a gingerbread cookie. I don't like sweet scents, and this is borderline for me. That said, it's one of those I kept smelling on myself over and over it was so good. Not getting it since I just can't pull the trigger on a sweeter scent like this. But it's high-quality, and if I wanted to be devious and was only trying to turn a woman on with no regard for whether I like the scent myself, this would be my top choice. What the The Devil would wear.

winter gourmand!
Althair is a great winter scent as it feautures notes as praline, cinnamon and vanilla. It lasts pretty good as i get around 8 hours of scent wearing it. Havent met anyone who doesnt like the scent when its on skin and have recieved a good amount of compliments wearing it. Could recommend this to someone who is looking for a great winter scent!

Dies ist ein massentauglicher Duft für die kühleren Monate. Er öffnet sich frisch und trocknet zu einem süßen Vanille- und Ambroxan-Duft ab.

Very generic vanilla. Linear and not worth the pricetag. There are better options!

Unisex, sweet, very nice bourbon vanilla but needs something else. Layer with Ébène Fumé Eau de Parfum . Thank me later

Its vanilla, obviously appealing. But really, is this the best PDM can do? Hardly improves on Merc Black. Synthetic, uninspired and boring.

Vanilla opposed by orange blossom & mild praline. Lackluster (designer) delivery & slight fem lean, somewhat like BDK's Vanille Leather.

Classic cinnavanillamon and a semi-sweet caramel. An all-too-familiar scent that stands out in longevity

Orange & vanilla combo w/ some cinnamon & praline w/o going too far into Dreamsicle territory. But also smells 'cheap' & very synthetic.

Licorice-like top that makes way to a resinous, powdery, woody vanilla. A bit pointed, synthetic, and too sweet for me overall.
