About Parfums de Marly
Parfums de Marly is a French niche house founded in 2009, inspired by the perfumery traditions of the court of King Louis XV. Delina and Layton have become cult favourites, particularly on social media. Retail prices range from £180 to £280 for a 75ml bottle.
We cut the celebrity endorsement, the department store concession, and the brand licence. The difference goes back into the formula.

The difference between a Parfums de Marly original and a TFW inspired-by fragrance is not quality. It is branding. Raw materials account for 3-8% of a designer fragrance's retail price. The remaining 92-97% covers celebrity endorsements, department store margins, packaging design, and brand licensing. The Fragrance World removes those costs and invests in the formulation itself.
