Parfums De Marly Valaya EDP (Tester)

Description

Valaya is Parfums de Marly's ode to soft, radiant skin — a floral-musk composition by perfumer Quentin Bisch, launched in 2023, built around the image of skin wrapped in a veil of cotton. Sparkling aldehydes, white peach, bergamot, and mandarin open the fragrance before it settles into a heart of orange blossom and lily-of-the-valley, finished with a soft, modern musk-amber base built on ambroxan and akigalawood. It's a lighter, more contemporary counterpart to the house's rose-forward Delina — less about opulence, more about clean, elegant warmth.

Scent Character

• Floral — 35%
• Fresh — 30%
• Woody — 20%
• Sweet — 15%

Translation: a fresh, aldehydic floral musk — clean and radiant rather than heavy or sweet.
