Parfums de Marly
Akaster EDP
“The sophisticated cousin at the dinner party who smells like he knows exactly what he's doing.”
Parfums de Marly's 2015 rose-oud-aromatic, frequently compared to Guerlain Santal Royal — both occupy the polished niche rose-oud-musk register. A unisex fragrance with cypress and lemon at the top, a Bulgarian rose-African geranium heart, and an agarwood-musk-cardamom base. Performs strongest in fall and winter, evening-leaning, 8-10 hours with strong projection.
