Parfums de Marly in partnership with Nordstrom and in honor of Mother’s Day showcased 36 of their decadent fragrances and welcomed guests to the “Colors of Emotion” soiree at the elegant London Hotel in West Hollywood.
The Haute Perfumery Maison, Parfums de Marly is a unique, refined perfumery that honors both the classic and contemporary composition of ingredients in its perfumes. The founder and Creative Director, Julien Sprecher’s passion for the olfactory is inspired by both the past and the present so that each fragrance embodies both the 18th century era of splendor and lavish extravagance with a modern or contemporary vision.
The Marly story is one of Julien Sprecher reviving the splendor of Château de Marly which was a place dedicated to pleasure and celebration during the 18th century. King Louis the XV spent most of his reign at the Château de Versailles but Château de Marly was where he went to have fun. It was a pleasure palace where his small entourage would engage in extravagant celebrations. The court of the King was nicknamed the “perfumed court” because they were obsessed with fragrance and would douse their pouches, fans, gloves and fountains with perfumes. King Louis XV commissioned the Chevaux de Marly in 1743 and these majestic statues of horses and the flamboyance of the 18th century were the inspiration for Julien Sprecher’s perfumer’s soul and passion for perfumery.
