The story

Hamid Merati-Kashani: the trail as signature

Portrait of the perfumer

Hamid Merati-Kashani made his name with perfumes of marked presence, where opulence never rules out balance. His writing loves contrasts: an aromatic freshness at the top, a rich heart, an amber or vanilla base that leaves a tenacious trail. It is this sense of generous, refined composition that drives the success of his creations.

Hamid Merati-Kashani's creations at Soleil d'Or

For PARFUMS DE MARLY, he signs LAYTON, now a modern classic, its woody-leathery version LAYTON EXCLUSIF, the citrus aromatic PERCIVAL and the oriental vanilla ALTHAÏR. For INITIO, he composes Mystic Experience, a spicy, mysterious oriental.

Oriental, aromatic and vanilla

His favourite territory brings together the oriental, aromatic and spicy families, carried by notes of vanilla, bergamot and cardamom.

For whom and when to wear these perfumes?

These oriental compositions with a bold trail suit evenings and cool seasons, for those who like to be noticed. Fans of this register, also discover Quentin Bisch and Nathalie Lorson.
