FAQ

Is Athena a good dupe of Athenais?

Athena matches the neroli, orange blossom and vanilla signature of Parfums de Marly Athenais, built at 35% Extrait. We make it with oils from some of the world's leading fragrance houses, the kind that also make for designer and niche brands.

How long does Athena last?

7+ hours on skin, guaranteed. If it does not last 7 hours, you get a refund. Athena is an Extrait de Parfum, made at 35%. How long any scent stays depends on its notes, your skin and the weather: fresh, citrus and aquatic scents lift off sooner, while woods, amber, musk and vanilla stay with you for longer. Spray onto moisturised skin at your pulse points and let it dry without rubbing.

What if I do not like it?

You have 60 days from delivery to decide. Email sales@aromara.co.uk, send the bottle back lightly tested with at least 90% left, and we refund the product price. You pay the return postage.

    The smell is amazing you wouldn't know rhe difference between Vanilla dust and Vanilla powder.... you don't need to use much as the fragrance is spot on and lasts all day.... so many people ask what fragrance I am wearing and compliment it ..... I can even smell it in the house when I return from being out for a while ..
