Parfums de Marly Habdan EDP
$9.00 USD
Harden by Parfums de Marly is a rich Amber Oriental Spicy unisex fragrance originally launched in 2013. Part of the brand's Arabian Breed Collection, it takes its name from one of the five founding strains of purebred Arabian horses, celebrated for grace and endurance.
The fragrance is widely recognized for its masterfully balanced contrast of smoky, resinous depths with sweet, fruity undertones, making it a highly distinct cold-weather staple.
The Olfactory Profile
Composed by perfumer Guillaume Flavigny, Habdan blends powerful spices and traditional Middle Eastern resins with a modern, smooth gourmand twist:
- Top Notes: A striking, exotic opening of Saffron and smoky Frankincense (Olibanum).
- Heart Notes: A crisp, tart contrast of Apple, layered with Rose and warm Woody Notes / Agarwood (Oud).
- Base Notes: A smooth, addictive dry down of Myrrh, sweet Caramel (Maltol), and warm Ambergris.
Performance & Wearability
- Season & Timing: Heavily favored for fall and winter, particularly for afternoon, evening wear, or special occasions. The intricate layers of amber and spice unfold beautifully as the temperature drops.
- Longevity & Sillage: It boasts long-lasting longevity (typically averaging 5 to 8 hours) with a moderate, close-to-skin sillage that leaves an enticing trail without overwhelming a space.
