Parfums de Marly is a niche luxury Parisian fragrance house that never disappoints in bringing timeless, captivating scents that make an unforgettable impression. The latest launch, Valaya is a masterpiece in niche floral woodsy fragrances. If you appreciate florals and musks that are understated, clean, and gently alluring, give this scent a try. It achieves an airy close-to-the-skin scent feeling without sacrificing either longevity or lingering beauty. Consider Valaya your warm skin scent reimagined luxuriously.

With Valaya, Parfums de Marly integrates natural notes and molecules for an unforgettable and very wearable experience. One that could easily become an everyday favorite, appropriate for any occasion. Valaya is Parfums de Marly's "Ode to femininity" encapsulated in a contemporary fragrance. The inspiration according to the Parfums de Marly "an intimate sensation, a universal emotion, a deep breath of fresh air".  A colaboration between Julien Sprecher and Quentin Bisch, French perfumeur and nose of the scent, wished to achieve a duality of power and delicacy. Softness and strength.

Leave it to Parfums de Marly to carefully and expertly bottle a scent memory of comfort. Capturing that feeling of a crisp, clean cotton shirt freshly laundered. Or the silken touch of the most softly spun cotton linens. The duality of softness and strength is also true in Valaya's longevity. The scent's impression can be smelled hours after spritzing. Parfums de Marly's Valaya has an 18th-century sensibility but is interpreted for a modern audience of fragrance lovers. Scent has the unique ability to transcend space and time. Parfums de Marly never fails to take us along on a luxurious journey.
