Regal Rose Oud Sophistication: Parfums de Marly Akaster Eau de Parfum
Step into aristocratic elegance with a refined fusion of crisp citrus freshness, lush rose florals, and smoky oud depth, evoking the grandeur of 18th-century French nobility in Parfums de Marly Akaster Eau de Parfum, launched in 2015 (unisex oriental woody, charismatic and luxurious appeal)—artfully composed by Hamid Merati-Kashani to blend vibrant green-citrus sparks, opulent Bulgarian rose-geranium heart, and warm oud-cardamom musk base. Often hailed as a standout rose-oud in the niche world with prominent oud smokiness, rose floral richness, and cardamom spice, it's admired for its balanced poise, fresh aromatic opening contrasted by deep woody warmth, addictive resinous trail, and commanding presence in a polished, aristocratic structure.
This majestic elixir ignites with a bright, invigorating rush of lemon and cypress for zesty, green-citrus lift that's clean and aristocratic, then transitions to a heart of Bulgarian rose and African geranium for lush, floral elegance with subtle herbal nuance, finally anchoring in a base of agarwood (oud), cardamom, and musk for smoky, spicy-woody depth with smooth, lingering sensuality. It's citrus-fresh yet oud-smoky, floral-lush yet warmly spiced, vibrant yet regal—like lemon-cypress brightness laced with rose petals over geranium green, rooted in oud-cardamom musk that endures as a sophisticated, noble aura of timeless refinement.
It sparkles with lemon and cypress—zesty, green, and strikingly fresh with citrus-green vibrancy. The core unveils Bulgarian rose and geranium, forming a rich, floral heart that's opulent, balanced, and enchanting. It settles into a profound oud-cardamom embrace—smoky, spicy, and musky-woody—creating a lasting, magnetic trail that's unisex, luxurious, and profoundly captivating.

Frequently celebrated as a gem in the Parfums de Marly lineup—oud-rose dominant smoky-floral core, cardamom-spicy warmth, cypress-lemon fresh opening iconic, with a strikingly elegant yet bold vibe—Akaster is described as uniting a bright citrus-green blast, opulent rose heart, and deep oud-musk drydown (often praised as a "refined rose-oud masterpiece," fresh yet intense, with aromatic lift and grounded luxury). It’s a versatile all-season performer (ideal for fall/winter sophistication or year-round edge, perfect from daytime refinement to evening charisma) that garners compliments for its strong projection, distinctive sillage, and irresistible unisex allure.
Performance stands out as an Eau de Parfum: 8-12+ hours longevity (evolves masterfully from citrus-rose burst to oud-musk finish), potent projection (generous yet controlled trail), and excellent staying power—transitioning fluidly into a resonant, enveloping hold. Fragrance enthusiasts applaud its premium niche craftsmanship, clever rose-oud-cardamom synergy, and aristocratic luxury, though some note its bold oud presence—ideal for seekers of elevated oriental-woody scents with floral freshness and smoky depth.
