Valaya
If pink pepper and bergamot were a person, they would be Parfums de Marly Valaya.

How it moves
Up top: pink pepper, bergamot and aldehydes. Enjoy them; they will not stay. Underneath, pear, jasmine and ylang-ylang settle in and take over. What is left hours later is white musk, sandalwood, vanilla and amber, and that is the part people follow you for.
What wearers say

Who made it
Quentin Bisch composed it in 2023, for Parfums de Marly in France. A clean, radiant white-musk floral that quickly became a modern bestseller for the house.
