Expect a moderate sillage — enough to be remembered, not enough to overwhelm. Longevity is moderate — not too much, not too little, just right. Country of origin — France. Habdan Parfums de Marly — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
The fragrance has medium longevity and lasts on the skin for about 5-6 hours, gradually revealing its notes and leaving a pleasant impression
It can be felt in close proximity, but does not attract the attention of those around you
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The note pyramid of Habdan is built as an expressive line of development, where accents shift with precision and warmth. The signature of Parfums de Marly is clear in details that define the fragrance identity. Nothing here feels random, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de parfum supports a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
In the first seconds you sense incense warm top notes: Frankincense and Saffron. These 2 notes build enveloping resinous depth that is impossible to miss.
In the middle phase you sense Apple and Oud keeping a soft nectarous direction.
The accord architecture is built around these accords: Balsamic, Gourmet, Fruit and Wood without random overlap. Additional accords such as Amber and Spicy expand the olfactory volume in the background. The stylistic positioning is unisex, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived. For persistence Middle points to a sustained drydown presence.
At olfactory-group level the composition is built around Balsamic, Spicy, Fruit and Wood. It also reaches into Ambery, Sweet and Gourmet.
Overall Habdan holds a coherent structure — the start forms character, the heart develops the core line, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the fragrances best judged in wear.
