Created by young perfumer Quentin Bisch, this sensual fragrance revolves mainly around sandalwood: warm, soothing and rich with a hint of vanilla. After a fruity and spicy opening with green apple and nutmeg, the heart of the fragrance is filled with the intense floral notes of osmanthus, davana and rose. Aromas of vanilla, dark patchouli and opoponax form a wonderfully balsamic, soft base for the fragrance. The blend exudes an aura of oriental mystery through the delicious interplay of nutmeg, saffron and tonka bean. Perhaps it is the unexpected combination of tart green apple and delicate vanilla, but on the skin, this rich, complex creation ultimately reveals itself as unruly joy.

France – something like the secret birthplace of perfume. During the reign of the Louis kings at the French court, beginning with the legendary Sun King Louis XIV and continuing through to Louis XVI, the court was also known as the ‘perfumed court’ due to the kings' passion for perfume: Not only did people perfume themselves extensively, but the chambers were also scented, even the fountains. Perfumes were considered status symbols – just like horses, which were kept and bred there with the same passion.
In 1743, the reigning king, Louis XV, commissioned the sculptor Guillaume Coustou to create horse statues in memory of his great-grandfather Louis XIV. These were erected in the parks of the kings' summer residence in Marly-le-Roi. These horse statues are now known as Les Chevaux de Marly and have achieved world fame as masterpieces of Baroque art. Replicas of the statues line the Champs-Élysées in Paris at its junction with the Place de la Concorde, while the originals have now found a home in the Louvre.
Parfums de Marly combines the passions of Louis XV – perfumes and horses – in its fragrance line. Designed as an olfactory homage to the magnificent perfume creations of that era, the fragrances are named after noble horse breeds and presented in flacons elaborately decorated with racy horses.
