Athalia
Athalia by Parfums de Marly is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with bitter orange and incense, moves into orange blossom and iris and dries down to amber, suede and vanilla. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bitter Orange Marmalade without the sugar. Sour and slightly medicinal.
- Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
Heart
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
Dry-down
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Suede Soft, powdery leather. Much gentler than the real thing.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
