Why is it that everyone who does candles has a figue in their collection? We don’t know. But we know, that when you smell our figue, you’ll understand why we have one. It’s not a straight figue but a figue/blackcurrent blend that makes you want to eat the wax. Please refrain from doing so.
BRIGHTNESS AT
ITS ZENITH
Celebrating the radiance of citrus, Perseus
evokes an early morning at Marly,
when the sun’s first rays waken the château,
warm its gardens and make
its fountains sparkle.
Perseus is a luminous and refreshing creation, combined with a long-lasting sillage. The fragrance is characterized by a grapefruit citrus accord and a vetiver heart that come to life the moment they meet. The former immediately invigorates, its freshness electrifying the skin. At the same time the earthy facet of the vetiver is revealed, refined, comforting and sensual. Perseus’s trail is further enriched by ambergris and long-lasting dry woods.
Perseus evokes early morning at the royal residence of Marly, at the moment when the sun’s first rays waken the château, warm its gardens and make its fountains sparkle. A sun-kissed perfume, it celebrates the radiance of citrus.
A unique morning ritual for a day of endless sunshine.
Arabesque takes you on an olfactory journey through the enchanting and mystical Middle East, based on flowers, fruits and woods entwined together and found in Islamic art.

The union of the real and the unreal, the clashing of the impossible and the mundane – the surrealistic manifest that life is never truly what it seems to be. The meeting of fire and nightshade, of juicy Mandarin, grandiose Amber and somber Oud, King Blue is an oneiric wood supreme.
Inspired by stories of the Covent Garden Piazza in the 19th and early 20th centuries, when it was a playground for the sinful and decadent pleasures of the dandies and literati, Master Perfumer Maurice Roucel and award-winning senior perfumer Alexandra Carlin concoct the expressive elements of the duality between light and shadow, danger and desire.

Enigmatic shades of earthy Patchouli and mineral Ambrostar are wrapped with carnal Labdanum and sensual Ambre 84 de Laire.

Fresh galbanum harvested atop the Iranian mountains; luminous peppercorns picked in Peru; rhizomes of spicy Madagascan ginger distilled into oil.
Chemically synthesized metals underscore natural notes. Artificial amber, natural vanilla and Ethiopian myrrh engrave sensuality beneath.
Like rust corroding a golden sheen, with time COPPER evolves on the skin.
Encased within a copper vessel, organically formed and industrially made, COPPER transforms contradictions into compatibility. The subversive spirit of Comme des Garçons explored through scent.

“Sapphire with its rich blue colours is the most precious of gemstones. The Royal Sapphires adorn the Imperial State Crown and Sceptre used for British State Occasions and on display in the Tower of London.
Bergamot and Mandarin Blossom are signature notes. The citrus freshness blends well with Jasmine, Patchouli, Amber and Dry Wood to create an opulent, long-lasting scent. This mesmerising perfume epitomises the splendour of the Royal Sapphires.”
The Fragrance
Royal Sapphire opens with a dazzling array of floral notes that rest comfortably on a warm bed of amber. The dry down is both electrifying and surprising: it turns fresh and vibrant with citrus fruits and sweet jasmine before sensual moss and dry woods take us into a dense forest on a hot summer’s night at the edge of a bustling city.
Flipo retained the opulent basil of the original composition, along with a recomposed bouquet of hyacinth, lily of the valley, natural jasmine, and Ylang Ylang oil.
To modernize and sharpen, she then added synthetic black currant and styralyl acetate, effectively putting the bouquet through a glossy, sparkling filter.
Flipo simplified the Chypre and leather notes, resulting in a cleaner, more streamlined accord. Finally, she added patchouli.
A gourmand, floral and fruity fragrance designed entirely as a variation on texture. A mille-feuille of flaky sweetness, softness, and sensuality. A sparkling and juicy opening of mandarin and Italian bergamot with a joyful orange blossom flower and blackcurrant heart leads to a flimsy delight of marshmallow and airy sweetness of Chantilly cream that are addictive. The ambrette and musk base notes add a carnal touch to the composition. A glowing delight.
On the skin, the noblest ingredients in perfumery unite with groundbreaking molecules in the exaltation of a deep pink bouquet, like its bottle. Chantilly cream, a signature note, brings softness and gourmandise. They say that the famous ‘milk cream’ was whipped up by Procopio, the inventor of gelato, in honor of the prince and future king Louis XV at another grand French castle – Chantilly. True to its passion for the 18th century, Marly has reinvented this very cosmetic note. Oriana, the story of a heroine with character and a hypnotic sillage.

Izia La Nuit is an olfactory journey with a chypre, woody, floral trail just as intense as the memory of a romantic encounter.
Izia la Nuit is an ode to the night, another tribute to a mysterious and unique rose found in Isabelle d’Ornano’s garden that only blooms once a year for a short time.
