Launched in 2016 by Alexandra Kosinski, Athalia is a parfum that captures the essence of refined elegance and subtle complexity. The fragrance opens with bitter orange and frankincense, creating an intriguing tension between freshness and incense-like depth. At its heart, iris and cashmeran blend into a powdery, earthy accord, while amber and white musk provide a warm, enveloping base. This composition is neither overly sweet nor heavy, striking a balance that feels both modern and lasting.

Application Tips
Athalia's powdery and musky notes develop best on skin over time. Apply it lightly to pulse points for a long-lasting warmth that evolves throughout the day. It pairs especially well with cooler temperatures, making it ideal for evenings or indoor settings.
