Founded in Paris in 2009 by Julien Sprecher, Parfums de Marly takes its name from the Château de Marly, a favourite residence of Louis XV. The house brings the spirit of the scented court of the 18th century into contemporary creations. Its growth accelerated with launches such as Pegasus, Layton and Delina, followed by Advent International acquiring a stake in the company in 2023.

The house combines equestrian heritage, French elegance and a contemporary interpretation. Its compositions favour carefully selected raw materials, refined sillage and a certain opulence. The rectangular bottles feature a medallion inspired by the Chevaux de Marly, while the names often evoke the royal and equestrian world.

Right now at Fragsplit, 5 Parfums de Marly fragrances are available as 1 to 10 ml decants: Herod (2020 Red Juice), Oajan, Althaïr, Pegasus, Carlisle.
