VALAYA is a luminous and ethereal masterpiece from the house of Parfums de Marly, serving as a prestigious tribute to the purity of white cotton against the skin. This fragrance is a unique play on codes and materials, capturing the essence of a deep breath of fresh air. First, it arrests the senses with a dazzling, mineral-tinged freshness that feels remarkably modern. Consequently, it creates an atmosphere of impalpable softness that slowly reveals a deeper, more sensual floral heart. This perfume offers a transgressive experience for the contemporary aesthete who values both heritage and a clean, avant-garde aesthetic. Furthermore, it evokes the delicate sensation of a lady’s petticoat from the 18th century, translated into the crisp sophistication of a modern white shirt.

The fragrance unfolds as a vertical journey of light and texture. First, it opens with a spirited strike of Bergamot, Mandarin, and Sweet White Peach, providing an immediate rush of solar clarity. Next, it transitions into a sophisticated heart of Orange Blossom, Nympheal, and Vetiver, creating a floral-woody bridge of poetic elegance. Finally, it settles into a majestic base of Akigalawood, Ambrofix, and Musk. This “Floral-Musky-Woody” composition is structured with cinematic precision. Therefore, it provides a persistent, radiant sillage that embodies the power of femininity and understated luxury.
