Althair Eau de parfum

This unisex scent is a universe of majestic, subtle, and surprisingly fresh contrasts. The Eau de parfum is a modern ode to a well-known note in the perfume industry: vanilla. But not just any vanilla, Bourbon vanilla. This specific variety is known for its powerful sillage and sweet, woody scent. Often compared to caramel, it creates a comforting, enveloping aura around its wearer.

For who?

As mentioned, the Althair perfume can be worn by both men and women who enjoy sweet fragrances that last days. The perfume has an elegant and generous personality.

Pssst: Did you know Bourbon vanilla is a direct descendant of the vanilla introduced in France under the reign of Louis XV?

The notes.

The fragrance opens with a refreshing fruity note of Orange Blossom, Bergamot, and Cinnamon. These floral and citrus notes bring harmony to the vanilla scent and fade as the perfume continues to evolve.

The star ingredients are at the heart of the scent: Bourbon Vanilla and Elemi. Warm and woody, this duo brings a sense of coziness to the perfume that becomes addictive over time. Last, Parfums de Marly added a smooth and warm trio of Guaiacwood, Ambrox, Praline, and Musk. This allows the perfume to last all day and helps balance the sweetness of the fragrance heart.

Best time to wear: Any time of the day, especially in the year's cooler months. Perfect to spritz on your skin or winter accessories.

My review.

Althair is one of those scents that keeps calling you back for more. I am a huge lover of sweet scents; most of my fragrances contain vanilla. So, I had high hopes for this scent. I decided to try it out over a week and got many compliments from both men and women asking me what perfume I had. Its beautiful scent can warm your day without giving you an unwanted headache. I recommend it and love catching hints of it on my jacket or scarf.

With fall slowly closing on us, I have started to search for my autumn/ winter scent. After using The Meliorna scent this season, I know Parfums de Marly will be a reliable choice.

The Darcy Perfume

Parfum de Marly's Darcy is ranking high when it comes to making one-of-a-kind scents. The Eau de parfum is a vibrant composition of captivating and dynamic notes. The fragrance has a sweet solar touch that perfectly blends into the sensual bouquet. If you are fond of smooth perfumes, Darcy will have you and others under its charm. The Darcy perfume is ideal for a cooler period, such as fall and winter days or nights.

Its intensely round base notes give the wearer a sense of comfort and well-being, while the floral bouquet pushes your feminity to the forefront.

Sparkling On The Inside And Out

The Darcy fragrance takes on an eye-catching design of a full gold bottle. Reflecting the light surrounding it, the perfume is a representation of sophistication. The gold tint has a frosted effect, leaving an endless light on the bottle, just like the fragrance does to its wearer.

The Notes

Darcy keeps its fragrance hidden from the eyes, creating curiosity and mystery for those who have not yet discovered its scent.

Top Notes

Darcy opens with a citrussy, fresh blend of Bergamot Essence, Orange, and Citrus. Immediately awakening, the perfume infuses its wearer with a sense of energy.

Heart Notes

The Rose and Jasmine are two well-known flowers in the perfume's heart. With an almost crisp freshness, these flowers created a beam of light and femininity.

Base Notes

As the perfume continues to evolve, its more intense and sensual character is revealed over time. Using a blend of Patchouli, Musk, and Praline, the fragrance creates a skin-tight layer that lasts for hours. The base of Darcy brings harmony and intensity to the scent. A pure delight!

How To Make Your Perfume Last Longer?

Some scents don't want to stick around! I have a couple of tips to help you keep perfume for a more extended period.

• For a longer lasing scent prefer Eau de parfums or Perfume.
• Apply the scents to hot zones of your skin.
• Spray your coat, scarf, or hat to infuse your outfit with the same scent.
• If you have a neutral body lotion, add a few drops of perfume and let it sit on your arms, chest, etc.
• Spray your hairbrush with your perfume while styling your hair.

My Experience

This fall, I wanted to experience something different from the extra-sweet or woody scents I usually wear. Darcy is an excellent option for all floral lovers wanting something warmer and winter-like.

The perfume lasts all day, and I could smell it on my jacket for days! I love how the notes create a sillage that follows me throughout the day. This got me so many compliments!

An ode to feminity

The French brand has recently released a new fragrance, “Valaya”. With its pure and radiant bottle, this perfume holds a fresh yet intense scent.

Valaya The Fragrance

The perfume gives off a shining aura from the moment you lay your eyes on it. This brand-new fragrance brings an intimate sensation and a breath of fresh air to all that wear it. Inspired by the petticoat ladies used to wear under their garments during the 18th century, Valaya combines both periods: past and present. The highly fresh scent reminds me of fresh linen.

Made in France, the perfume is the perfect representation of contrasts. Delicate yet powerful, its scent represents all of the feminine qualities. Behind this glorious perfume are two talented noses Julien Sprecher and the French perfumer Quentin Bisch.

The Notes

Below are the notes of Parfums de Marly Valaya:

• Top Notes – The perfume opens up with a burst of citrussy juice: Bergamot, Mandarin, and White Peach.
• Heart Notes – Warming the heart of the fragrance are Orange Flowers, Nympheal, and Vetiver.
• Base Notes – The sensual touch to the perfume comes from the three base notes: Akigalawood, Ambrofix, and Musk.

The unbeatable duo: Mandarin and Ambrofix.

The perfume is built up around these two particular notes. This should be right up your street if you love citrussy scents.

MANDARIN

Known as one of the most comforting notes, the Mandarin used in this perfume is cultivated in Italy. The brand uses both peel and pulp to obtain the note. By doing so, the fruit delivers a juicy facet that is naturally produced.

AMBROFIX

This ingredient is at the heart of the sensual touch the perfume has. Obtained from 100% natural sugarcane, the amber molecule, when in contact with the skin, adds a warm feeling to Valaya.

My Experience

I am familiar with Parfums de Marly fragrances, so I expected high quality and special notes in the new perfume. I am happy that they opted for a fresher scent in their latest collection, and Valaya screams out feminity at its best. The aroma is beautiful and can be worn easily throughout the day. With its citrus notes at the opening, the fragrance evolves and becomes a more intimate and cozy perfume. Ideal for those who don't like overpowering scents, Valaya is the perfect balance between freshness and sensuality. I would class Valaya as medium longevity, meaning that I could still smell it on an evening but very faintly. It makes a beautiful day-to-day fragrance and instantly lifts my mood when wearing it. I also think that Valaya is suitable for different age groups, and the scent reminds me of freshly washed clothes.

If you have yet to discover the scent, it is worth it. Parfums de Marly selects the highest quality actives when creating their scent. The French perfumer Quentin Bisch is behind some fantastic scents such as “Girls can do anything” from Zadig & Voltaire and multiple Chloe Fragrances. Valaya definitely has his touch.
