"Le secret" was the name given to the three-layered petticoats worn at the court of Louis XV. It was this garment that inspired Parfums de Marly to create Valaya. This light, translucent, and elusive fragrance is reminiscent of the finest cotton veil. This delicate, sensual, and diffusive composition is an ode to pure, innocent femininity.

Parfums de Marly Valaya is a floral-musky fragrance for women, released in 2023 by the French brand Parfums de Marly. This elegant fragrance, created by Julien Sprecher, is a unique interplay of codes, materials, and subtle contrasts. It evokes the sensation of skin caressed by a cotton veil. It evokes the radiant aura and elusive softness of the skirts women wore under their clothes in the 18th century, and the modernity of a white shirt worn directly against the skin. The fragrance revisits the heritage of the 18th century with elegance and modernity.
Fresh top notes of bergamot, mandarin, and sweet white peach softly and organically transition into a heart accord of white flowers, whose delicate, silky petals are covered with droplets of cool dew. Spicy, woody notes of vetiver and fruity nuances of exotic petal lend a multifaceted heart note. Parfums de Marly Valaya concludes with a note of akilgalwood, with vibrant accents of patchouli, pepper, and agarwood. Its unique character is enhanced by a soft vanilla-musk-amber finish.
