A delicate and airy elixir
This September, French perfume house Parfums de Marly will celebrate the latest addition to its family of niche fragrances, Oriana. Available across the Middle East, Oriana is a new, addictive world of indulgence, the story of a heroine with character and a hypnotic sillage.
Delicate and airy like a muslin dress, Oriana surprises with a sparkling fruity and floral gourmet, designed entirely as a variation on texture, a ‘mille-feuille’ of flaky sweetness, softness, sensuality, energy and light, which is anchored with euphoric and seductive notes of orange blossom. True to the brand’s passion for the 18th century perfume court with scent-embellished jewels, fans and fountains, Oriana pays homage to Procopio, the inventor of gelato by reinventing the notes from the famous ‘milk cream’ he created in honour of the prince and future king, Louis XV at the grand castle in Chantilly.
Captivating luxury in its gleaming deep pink attire, Julien Sprecher, Founder and Creative Director of Parfums de Marly drew upon the noblest ingredients in perfumery united with groundbreaking molecules to unveil the radiant and powdery elixir. “As with every Parfums de Marly creation, Oriana continues the tradition to restore the golden age of perfumery, striking a brilliant balance between tradition and innovation. The harmony between the materials and the accords creates this olfactory music which tugs at the back of one’s mind and lingers on the skin,” says Sprecher.
Top notes
The Parfum de Marly signature citrus splash of mandarin, Italian bergamot and grapefruit which gives way to a suave orange blossom and blackcurrant heart.
Heart notes
A crisp, frosted, raspberry heart note is placed on an airy bed of sweet chantilly cream and incredible marshmallow.
Base notes
A base note of musk mallow, used in the 18th century to perfume and powder hair, distils a fresh and clean feeling while warm and comforting musk creates an expansive petticoat or cocoon-like bubble.
Since its creation, Parfums de Marly has committed to finding and using the finest ingredients to ensure the alchemy of perfume on everyone’s skin. Each formula combines the most natural, the rarest, and the most luxurious essences in perfumery.
Oriana launches in September at boutiques and e-shops, and in October at other sales locations. It is available in a new 75 ml frosted pink bottle priced at QR 1,216.
Parfums de Marly is currently being sold at Blue Salon, & Secret Notes Luxury Perfumes at The Pearl.
