Parfums de Marly – The spirit of the Château de Marly and Louis XV

Parfums de Marly: perfumery inspired by the French royal court

A house founded in 2009, inspired by the Château de Marly

Parfums de Marly was founded in 2009 by Julien Sprecher (who would later found Initio Parfums Privés), inspired by the Château de Marly, Louis XIV's royal residence, famous for its equestrian festivities and its exceptional stables. The house carries on this heritage through its aristocratic creations and its bottles adorned with a rearing silver horse. Still led today by Julien Sprecher, it has become one of the benchmarks of premium French niche perfumery.

The French house's emblematic fragrances

The Parfums de Marly pantheon brings together ALTHAÏR, PERCIVAL, VALAYA, LAYTON, DELINA EXCLUSIF and DELINA LA ROSÉE: so many signatures that have established the house among niche lovers.

Contemporary aristocratic elegance

Parfums de Marly has a unique positioning: haute parfumerie inspired by royalty, with bold fragrances, premium raw materials and objet bottles reminiscent of courtly regalia. Layton in particular has become a global phenomenon in recent years, acclaimed by a whole generation of niche lovers. The house continues to grow at a steady pace, true to its French signature.

Who is Parfums de Marly for, and when to wear it?

Parfums de Marly is for lovers of bold, refined fragrances looking for an aristocratic perfume. The house creates both iconic men's fragrances and refined women's ones. The floral and fruity creations shine in spring and summer, while the woody, gourmand and oriental ones come into their own in autumn and winter. If you like Parfums de Marly, you will also enjoy exploring Initio Parfums Privés (Julien Sprecher's other house), Creed and Xerjoff, three other premium signatures at Soleil d'Or.
