Description
Essence & Concept
Althair (2023) is an amber‑vanilla fragrance crafted by Hamid Merati‑Kashani & Ilias Ermenidis. It celebrates vanilla in a luxurious setting, blending gourmand warmth with spicy freshness and woody depth for a scent that feels both opulent and modern.
Note Structure
Top notes: Orange Blossom, Bergamot, Cinnamon, Cardamom — citrusy and spicy opening that gives a lively and rich first impression.
Heart (middle): Bourbon Vanilla, Elemi — creamy, resinous heart that smooths out the spices and adds gourmand sweetness.
Base notes: Ambrox, Guaiac Wood, Praline, Musk — warm, sweet, and woody foundation with soft praline and musky undertones that linger.
Evolution & Experience
At first spray, you’re greeted by bright citrus (bergamot & orange blossom) intertwined with cinnamon and cardamom—fresh, spicy, and eye‑catching. As it settles, the vanilla and elemi come forward, bringing a creamy and slightly resinous sweetness that smooths out the sharper edges. In the dry‑down, warm woods, ambrox, and musk take over, carrying the gourmand character with praline sweetness into a cozy, long‑lasting trail.
Longevity & Projection
Good to strong longevity — many wearers report it lasts well into the evening. Projection is strong in the early phases (opening & heart), then mellows into a more skin‑close but still noticeable sillage.
Best Use / Occasions
Ideal for cooler weather (fall, winter) or cool evenings; great for evenings out, special occasions, or whenever you want to make a statement. It may be a bit heavy for hot, humid days, but works well indoors or in climates that allow it to shine.
Character & Vibe
Althair feels warm, indulgent, and luxurious — a dessert‑vanilla scent with spice and refinement. It’s sweet but balanced, gourmand without being cloying, with woody and musky depth giving it maturity and character. It’s a fragrance that draws compliments, evokes comfort, and leaves a lasting impression.
