Althaïr
Cinnamon, nutmeg and pink pepper on application, and vanilla and tonka for the long haul. The character is multifaceted and meant to be read in stages; the finish is warm and sweet with real depth underneath. Most wearers place it as unisex.

Spice over vanilla and tonka
Heart — the middle
- SpicesCinnamon, nutmeg, pink pepper.
Base — what lingers
- VanillaBourbon pods split lengthwise.
- TonkaAlmond, hay and warm skin.
A base-heavy structure rewards restraint: one dab at the wrist, one behind the ear, and it will still be there at the end of the evening. Oil carries this weight far better than alcohol does.

Pomegranate Musk is built on the same spice and vanilla, and its base — White Musk, Vanilla, Sandalwood — carries the profile at the same weight Althaïr does on skin.
