Perseus by Parfums de Marly is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for men. This is a new fragrance. Perseus was launched in 2024. The nose behind this fragrance is Nathalie Templer. Top notes are Grapefruit, Bergamot and Black Currant; middle notes are Vetiver, Green Mandarin and Geranium; base notes are Dry Wood, Ambergris, Cashmere Wood, Balsam Fir, Cedar and Tonka Bean.
 
A revitalizing, citrus-infused formulation with enlivening properties for both the physique and the psyche. A modern interpretation of grapefruit intertwined with fruity accents and vetiver to enhance vitality. The citrus essence harmonizes with the sophistication and vigor of a woody undertone, yielding a nuanced and juxtaposed sense of freshness.
 
The effervescence of grapefruit, juxtaposed with sophisticated woody nuances. Perseus enthralls the senses with its unparalleled luminosity. The invigorating initial impressions of grapefruit and bergamot reveal an elegant core of vetiver, while base notes of ambergris and dry woods provide a lasting resonance.
 
Perseus by Parfums de Marly brings to mind early mornings at the royal residence of Marly: sun-kissed and zesty, it evokes the first rays of sun wakening the chateau and gardens. Pink grapefruit and vetiver come alive the moment they meet, the former invigorating the skin while the latter reveals a comforting, earthy facet.

About PARFUMS DE MARLY

In the XVIIIth Century was the indisputed reign of King Louis the XVth. France was the flagship of fragrances, with Grasse and Paris as its leading Places.  Every day, the king requested a different scent for his apartments and streams of aromatic scents sprang from the royal fountains. Renowned for its scent extravagances, the court was named “la cour parfumée” (the perfumed court). The best fragrances of all time were invented during this era by the king’s dedicated perfumer ‘Jean Fargeon’. The King decided to give to Marly castle, built by Louis the XIV, more importance by dedicating it for the well-being of the horse. As a fervent admirer of horses, Louis XV always tried to enhance horse qualities by cross breeding them. He was offered 8 Arabian horses by the King of Tunisia, ‘Bey de Tunis’.

 

Among them are the Darley Arabian, Godolphin Arabian and the Byerley Turk. Those horses were the base of thoroughbred Arabian breed mixed with the strong and tall European breed. In 1743, in memory of his great-grandfather Louis XIV, Louis XV commissioned Guillaume Coustou to sculpt his famous masterpiece for the grounds of the Château de Marly (Marly Castle). This magnificent work of art, known as “The Marly Horses”, earned a place on the Champs Elysees Avenue in the heart of Paris in 1974, where it can still be admired today.

 

The originals are conserved in Louvre Museum in a old court, named la Cour Marly (Marly court). Parfums de Marly revives the spirit of lavish receptions and festivities held in the Château de Marly, for the delight of members of the Royal Court and foreign dignitaries. Through its original concept, Parfums de Marly rekindles the spirit of fragrances from the splendour of the XVIIIth Century, when the finest perfumes were created for King Louis XV as a tribute of the prestigious horse races he so fervently admired
