Unforgettable scents: Dive into Parfum De Marly's universe
Parfums de Marly is a luxury French fragrance house renowned for its opulent, historically inspired perfumes.
Founded by Julien Sprecher in 2009, the brand draws its inspiration from the 18th century, specifically from the reign of King Louis XV, who was a patron of the arts and a fervent lover of fragrances. Louis XV's Château de Marly, a royal residence dedicated to leisure and luxury, played a significant role in the brand’s conceptual development, evoking an era when the art of perfumery was at its peak.
Parfums de Marly is celebrated for its rich, layered fragrances that blend traditional French craftsmanship with modern elegance. Inspired by aristocratic horses like Herod, Pegasus, and Layton, each scent embodies sophistication and power. Known for high-quality ingredients and meticulous blending, Parfums de Marly has become a prestigious name in niche perfumery, offering timeless luxury with a hint of historical romance. Our first encounter with the brand dates back to 2021 when we first discovered Valaya and fell completely in love. JDEED tells you more about some of those divine fragrances, the one that marked us most, and that you need to add to your bathroom shelves, presto.
