Parfums de Marly

Founded 2009 · Paris, France · Julien Sprecher

Parfums de Marly takes its name and its imagery from the Château de Marly, Louis XIV's residence, and its entire catalogue is named after horses from the royal stables. Layton and Herod are among the best-selling niche perfumes of the last decade.

History

Julien Sprecher founded the house in Paris in 2009 with a very defined brand idea: revive the perfumery of the eighteenth-century French court — when aristocrats commissioned exclusive fragrances — and carry it into contemporary taste. Hence the names, all horses from the Marly stables, and the horse emblem. Layton, from 2016, with apple, lavender and vanilla, became one of the best-selling niche masculines in the world; Herod, from 2017, did the same with tobacco and cinnamon.

Worth knowing

Every name in the catalogue belongs to a horse from the royal stables at Marly. It is not decoration: the whole house was built on that reference.
