The story behind the bottle.
Valaya Exclusif by Parfums de Marly is a new fragrance launched in 2025 and crafted by Quentin Bisch. This composition opens with the bright zest of mandarin and bergamot, balanced by almond's nutty sweetness and powdery notes that evoke a sense of softness and comfort. The heart unfolds into orange blossom and lily of the valley, adding a delicate floral touch, while lotus introduces an exotic nuance. The base notes of vanilla, ambroxan, akigalawood, sandalwood, white musk, and heliotrope create a warm, enveloping finish that feels both comforting and luxurious.
Apply Valaya Exclusif in light, even sprays to capture its full range from the bright citrus opening to the enveloping base notes. It blooms gradually over time, so a few well-placed spritzes will ensure it evolves beautifully throughout the day.
