About Parfums De Marly

‘Although all the fragrances were developed at different times by different perfumers, one thing that unites them is that they all started with an accord that we really loved. ‘When you have that as your starting point, it makes the development feel quite organic; it becomes about finding the right balance of ingredients but staying true to the note that gives the fragrance its personality.’In perfumery the rose has long been admired for its versatility as an ingredient. It has lots of different olfactive expressions: fresh, floral, peachy, green. It’s also extracted in different ways, producing rose water, rose essence and rose absolute, so there’s lots of scope to really play with the ingredient and explore all the possibilities. The amazing thing about roses is that no two species are alike: they all have different qualities that can create different floral harmonies. It is no surprise that the British have had a long standing obsession with the rose, dedicating gardens and literature in its honour for centuries. What better muse to base a collection on? Within our Roses collection each fragrance was created by a different perfumer, with each one offering their own unique take on the flower.
