Who doesn't love a fragrance that not only delights the senses but also transports us to a bygone era? We all do, right? Well, Parfums de Marly ® is one such unique perfume brand that offers luxury, innovation, and history in a bottle. Founded in 2009 by Julien Sprecher, the brand draws its inspiration from the 18th century, when France was the epicenter of fragrance, with Grasse and Paris leading the charge.
At the time, King Louis XV reigned supreme and had a deep love for horses. He even built the Chantilly Racecourse and commissioned his perfumer to create unique scents to celebrate his favorite horses. Every day, the king requested a different scent for his apartments, and streams of aromatic fragrances emanated from the royal fountains. The court was famously named "la cour parfumée," which translates to the "perfumed court," and was renowned for its extravagant scents. Jean Fargeon, the king's dedicated perfumer, invented some of the best fragrances of all time during this era.
Sprecher wanted to create fragrances that captured the French court's elegance, sophistication, and luxury during the 18th century. Parfums de Marly ® pays homage to this rich history and the equestrian world that inspired it. The brand's name is a tribute to the Marly Castle, a palace built by King Louis XIV in the late 17th century that symbolized luxury and was used as a hunting lodge for the king and his court.
Since its launch, Parfums de Marly ® has gained recognition for its opulent fragrances and its passion for history. If you are searching for a scent that embodies lavishness and extravagance with a modern edge, then Parfums de Marly ® is the ideal choice for you. However, if you desire to smell like royalty, you must be prepared to pay a princely price. But don't worry: Unleashed perfumes have a wide range of affordable alternatives to the luxurious Parfums de Marly ® fragrances, which smell just as divine as the high-end options.
