Athenaïs
Yuzu and neroli open with a luminous citrus quality before orange blossom moves in and claims the center. Jasmine sambac and mahonial give the heart its richness without pushing it heavy, and the combination reads as morning warmth rather than evening opulence. Tonka bean and vanilla in the base pull everything into a creamy, unhurried finish that amber slowly deepens.
Why We Carry This
Athénais joins the Parfums de Marly women's line with a white-floral character that is both contemporary and structured. The yuzu-neroli entry point is not what you expect from the house, and the orange blossom-tonka resolution confirms this is more than a flanker exercise.
