{"product_id":"parfums-de-marly-valaya-eau-de-parfum","title":"Parfums de Marly Valaya Eau de Parfum","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhat It Smells Like\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParfums de Marly Valaya is a clean musk and white floral fragrance. The house describes it as a veil of linen on the skin, and that is a fair summary: bright, soft, freshly laundered, with a peach-and-citrus glow at the top.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe opening combines aldehydes with white peach, bergamot and mandarin. Aldehydes are the sparkling, slightly soapy materials that give classic perfumes their lift; here they make the fruit feel airy and clean rather than sweet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe heart is orange blossom and lily of the valley, built with modern floral molecules, Petalia, Nympheal and Mahonial, that smell like fresh petals with no heaviness. A touch of vetiver keeps it dry. The base is musk and ambroxan, a mineral amber material, with a little vanilla and Akigalawood, a peppery wood note derived from patchouli.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFragrantica's community ranks musky as the leading accord, followed by citrus, white floral, fresh and aldehydic. It is rated 3.89 out of 5 from about 6,700 votes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho Made It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/quentin-bisch\"\u003eQuentin Bisch\u003c\/a\u003e is a perfumer at Givaudan and one of the most sought-after noses of his generation. For Parfums de Marly he is credited with Delina, Delina Exclusif, Delina La Rosée and Valaya, and he is also the author of Ganymede for Marc-Antoine Barrois. His work is known for bright, textured accords that carry a long way without feeling loud.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eValaya is for people who want to smell clean, bright and put-together. Fragrantica lists it as a feminine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you love fresh-laundry musks and white flowers, this is a polished, long-lasting take on the style. If you want fruit and rose, look at Delina. If you want the same idea made creamier and more powdery, Valaya Exclusif adds almond and sandalwood. It is one of the easiest fragrances in the house to wear every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen to Wear It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFragrantica voters place it in spring and summer, with day far ahead of night. It is made for daylight and warm air.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWear it to the office, to lunch, on weekends, or anywhere a heavier perfume would feel out of place. Parfumo's community rates its longevity as above average, which is unusual for a fragrance this fresh, so it lasts through a working day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the House\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParfums de Marly was founded in Paris in 2009 by Julien Sprecher. The house takes its name and its imagery from the royal château of Marly and from the perfumed court of Louis XV, an era when fragrance was worn lavishly and horse racing was a royal passion. That is why every bottle carries a crest of two rearing horses, and why several of the fragrances, Herod, Godolphin and Darley among them, are named after celebrated horses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe style is generous and easy to like: rich, long-wearing compositions, each built around one clear idea and usually signed by a well-known perfumer. Parfums de Marly is a boutique-only house at Redolia. It is sold at our perfumery at 92 West Main Street in Somerville, New Jersey, and not through the website.
