The niche house Parfums de Marly presents its new fragrance called Valaya, embodying intimate sensations, universal emotions, a breath of fresh air, and awareness. The brand claims that the delicate and pure formula of the fragrance reveals the full beauty of a woman's skin.

"The white translucent fabric and soft light embody femininity, challenging trends and eras. This enduring sensuality inspired us to create a new fragrance..."

The fragrance also strives to recreate the sensation of touching delicate fabric, for example, the petticoats that ladies wore in the 18th century or the modern white shirt that is worn directly on the naked body. This perfume combines the heritage of the 18th century with contemporary elegance. It is described as having a radiant aura and at the same time an intangible softness. Like the smell of freshly cut cotton, Valaya is a clean and sensual fragrance dedicated to the power of femininity.
