Parfums de Marly - Greenley
“These pavilions, separated from one another and half-sunken in the woods, appear to be the dwellings of various subordinate geniuses, whose master occupies the one in the middle. This gives the whole thing an air of enchantment that I found pleasing.” (Letter from Diderot to Sophie Volland, May 10, 1759)
“We hunt in the most beautiful place in the world: The park here is a true garden… All the hedges are in bloom and fragrant; nightingales and other birds sing so beautifully that one is completely comforted in this place.”
(Liselotte von der Pfalz to Sophie von Hannover, July 6, 1702)
The enchanting place described in these letters is none other than the Château de Marly. The originality of this pleasure palace, commissioned by Louis XIV, lies in its fragmented architecture, perfectly integrated into the landscape. At Marly, everything is abundance, lushness, and openness. The magic of this place has now given rise to the latest fragrance from Parfums de Marly: a fresh, green, and fruity burst, and a vibrant homage to the power of the earth. A dual aesthetic of nobility and nature, classicism and avant-garde, transparency and depth.
Greenley turns the traditional fragrance pyramid on its head with a vertically oriented, high dose of cashmere wood in the top, heart, and base notes. Each note, each accord, is enhanced by the natural character of its raw materials. A joyful whirlwind of fruits, citrus, bark, and tree sap. The surprising note of a crisp, tangy green apple. A burst of bold freshness. Sicilian bergamot, mandarin, and violet unite in a symphony of scents. A sensual, papery contrast of cedarwood, oakmoss, amber, and musk.
Like its bottle, Greenley is a source of pure energy. A breath of spring – to wear during the day, to give as a gift, or to share.
About Parfums de Marly
Parfums de Marly is a French perfume house founded in 2009 by Julien Sprecher to revive the splendor of life at the eponymous château. Until the end of the 18th century, being invited to Marly was a unique privilege—an extraordinary invitation to luxury, passion, and pleasure. Marly fragrances reflect the magnificent extravagance of the Enlightenment in the language of an ultramodern vision. Crafted from the finest ingredients of perfumery, each fragrance expresses a unique, timeless nobility.
