Skip the Althair price tag. An Ambre Vanille by Montagne fragrance sample gets you most of the way there.

An inspired fragrance

This is Montagne's take on Althair by Parfums de Marly, and reviewers who've smelled both put it close, not identical.

It opens on cinnamon, cardamom, bergamot. The heart turns to vanilla, elemi. It settles into praline, ambroxan, musk, guaiacwood.

Notes

Top: Cinnamon, Cardamom, Bergamot
