Trying Valaya from Parfums de Marly
It was a nice summer day. I wanted to smell pretty. I decided to spray on Valaya from Parfums de Marly. As soon as I smelled it on my skin, I thought, “I regret this.” The while floral scent felt more overpowering than I was hoping for. I feared what others close to me all…

If you already like Delina by Parfums de Marly…
I approached a stranger minding her business, as was I. She turned to me, “You smell good.” “Thank you. No one ever notices.” “Well, you do.” I was wearing Delina Exclusif by Pafums de Marly. I don’t often get fragrance compliments, so when I do I take note. If you somehow escaped the virality of…

My thoughts on Meliora by Parfums de Marly (or why you should be testing your fragrances on skin)
Previously at the Parfums de Marly boutique, I smelled Meliora. It is a fruity floral that I contemplated getting, but I was held back by the $375 price tag. Now, working with a sample, I am content with my decision. The experience I had in store, smelling the scent on paper, did not prepare me…

Oriana, a fragrant love story by Parfums de Marly
To describe the fragrance Oriana, Parfums de Marly includes this phrase: Oriana, the story of a heroine with character and a hypnotic sillage. That made me instantly curious and go about looking for the story of Oriana. In Lord Tennyson’s poem of the same name, Oriana is the woman who has won the heart of…

A visit to Parfums de Marly (p.s. Delina is not their only fragrance.)
When I started my fragrance journey dove deep into those topics on YouTube, Parfums de Marly was a brand I heard repeated. I heard about it so often that I decided I would need to find the chance to one day smell those fragrances in person. As I planned my trip to the meatpacking district…

Finally trying the much hyped Delina by Parfums de Marly
This fragrance is so hyped, that I just had to know what it smelled like. When I first sprayed it, I thought, “Oh no, another over hyped fragrance that I won’t like.” Then it settled, and I found myself enjoying it. I think I have only eaten rhubarb twice in my life, actively smelled it…
