Image of Parfums de Marly Delina Exclusif, Oriana and Valaya by Steven
Steven and I had the idea that this year’s Mother’s Day (May 12th in the USA) post would feature three “feminine” fragrances from Parfums de Marly (although anyone can wear them IMHO). Fragrance is liquid memories, so make her Mother’s Day special with a perfume she will ways remember-Parfums de Marly Delina Exclusif, Oriana and Valaya. Each has its own personality from dramatic and daring, flirty and sweet, to modern and clean. The flacons are gorgeous, will look amazing on her vanity table, will suit her style and are all compliment getters. As in past years, this post is dedicated to all mothers and the maternal women who shaped our lives, (which might be you), your wife, your sister, your own mom… and those who live on in our memories. –Michelyn Camen, Editor-in-Chief

Dramatic and Daring
Parfums de Marly Delina Exclusif: Perfumer Quentin Bisch told me that “the idea for Delina Exclusif was to be richer than Delina, and that Parfums de Marly Delina Exclusif is the evening sequel. It is velvety, sensual, oudy and ambery. The rose is more of a loukoum, decadent, delicious. It is a rose on skin. Grown up, fulfilled and more daring. A mystery about her. “-Michelyn

Sweet and Flirty
Parfums de Marly Oriana (Nathalie Lorson and Hamid Merati-Kashan): Oriana is inspired by Chantilly cream, which at the time of its 2021 release according to Master Perfumer Nathalie Lorson was for the first time combined with marshmallow. “The orange blossom from Morocco, of exceptional quality – like the ingredients of the citrus top notes – mandarin and bergamot from Italy, harvested by the best producers in the world. The heart of the perfume is based on red fruits (raspberry and black currant), which add a tangy, sparkling, joyful note.” Oriana, to my nose is the sweetest of the three selections. -Michelyn
Top Notes: Mandarin, Bergamot, Grapefruit; Heart Notes: Orange blossom, Blackcurrant, Raspberry, Base Notes: Marshmallow, Ambrette, Chantilly cream, Musk

Radiant and Elegant
Quentin Bisch wanted to work around the idea of skin, he told me, “It had to be a musk. But a super modern one. Cotton on skin, skin on cotton. Chose a white flower bouquet centered around orange blossom. Woods give vibration and modernity and even a cleanliness. It features a real sensuality as well, velvety musks, vanilla and Akigalawood. Parfums de Marly Valaya is the way I like to write perfumes. Simple yet complex. Bold yet fluid minimalistic but faceted.” -Michelyn
Top Notes: Bergamot, Mandarin, White Peach; Heart Notes: Orange Flower, Nympheal©(Givaudan muguet synthetic), Vetiver; Base Notes: Akigalawood©(a bio-degradable synthetic molecule with a profile similar to patchouli, combined with a hint of pepper and agarwood), Ambrofix© biotechnology-based alternative to authentic Ambergris note that also brings a woody sensuality to the composition one of the most widely used biodegradable fragrance ingredients, Musk
