Althaïr Parfums de Marly
Parfums de Marly released Althaïr in 2023, created by Hamid Merati-Kashani and Ilias Ermenidis for men. The opening is a warm and aromatic blend of cinnamon and cardamom, brightened by a touch of bergamot and the floral lift of orange blossom. This initial spice and citrus soon gives way to a creamy heart where bourbon vanilla takes prominence, softened by the resinous warmth of elemi. The scent settles into a rich and deep base, featuring the gourmand sweetness of praline and candied almond, supported by the woody facets of guaiac wood and the comforting warmth of tonka bean. Musk and ambroxan provide a soft, lingering trail with a powdery undertone. The overall impression is one of sweet, warm spice and vanilla, with a comforting, almost edible quality. It suits cooler weather, particularly autumn and winter evenings, and can be worn for both casual and more dressed-up occasions where a comforting, sweet presence is desired.

Questions about Althaïr
- How much is Althaïr in Saudi Arabia?
- At the shops we track in Saudi Arabia, last checked 10 November 2026, a full bottle costs SAR 1,517. OurScent sells a 3 ml decant of it for SAR 69.19.
- Does Althaïr last in the heat?
- Our estimate from its composition, until enough readers vote: longevity “long lasting”, and it is better in cold weather than on a hot summer day.
- What is a cheaper alternative to Althaïr?
- Shops sell «عطر 542» as an alternative to it, for SAR 85. That is the shop’s claim; we do not judge how alike they smell. All alternatives to Althaïr.
- Who is Althaïr for, and in which season?
- The house makes it for men. From its accords, we estimate it is best in autumn and winter.
