"Althaïr" from Parfums De Marly
I got in a decant a few weeks ago of Althaïr to get my nose on this hype beast. The scent is not what I expected, but at the same time, exactly what I expected. Let me explain. The opening of this is almost a carbonated, bubbly smell, that quickly transitions into what this fragrance really is: a super sweet vanilla candy smell with a hint of orange. I don't get the "orange creamsicle" vibe a lot of people say they get with this, rather this to me smells like a vanilla cupcake with a touch of orange in the background, definitely more cinnamon than orange in this one. This is a beautiful vanilla-cinnamon scent of I had to describe it in just a few words. All in all this fragrance lasts a long time and LINGERS in the air. It's a compliment monster, and it only didn't get me a compliment one time wearing it. So if compliments are your thing, this will get the job done. I wasn't afraid to spray this 6-8 times (twice on each side of the neck, twice on the back of the neck, twice on the chest). I love this stuff and just got a decant of Liquid Brun to see if that one is deserving of the hype.
