Our take

What does Valaya smell like?

Launched in 2023, Valaya expands Parfums de Marly’s feminine line with a luminous, silky fruity floral. The opening combines fizzy aldehydes, velvety white peach, bergamot and mandarin for a sparkling, elegant start. In the heart, orange blossom and lily of the valley bring a clean, white freshness, while a discreet vetiver adds a little structure. Musk, ambroxan and vanilla in the base leave a soft, luminous trace much like clean skin. Valaya evokes the lightness of pale fabric and the softness of freshly picked fruit, with modern elegance. The aldehydes lend it a quiet, almost vintage sparkle.

When to wear it

Ideal in spring and summer, for daytime or special occasions. It suits those who love luminous, refined florals.

VerdictAn elegant, very pleasant fruity floral, though fairly safe for a house known for bolder moves.

It belongs to the Floral, Fruity family. Valaya is one of 40 creations by Parfums de Marly in our encyclopedia.
