Parfums de Marly Introduces a Champion of a Fragrance, Byerley

Dubai, UAE, March 16, 2016:  Renowned perfumer, Parfums de Marly, has created yet another magnificent fragrance that salutes the proud history of the majestic horse. The brand’s latest offering, Byerley, has been so named after one of the earliest of three stallions that were the founders of the modern Thoroughbred horse racing bloodstock. According to legend, the dark brown stallion was born during a thunderstorm; he did not fear the sounds of cannons or gunfire and thus made a fearsome war horse. 

Developing a perfume that was memorable and had heart was no easy task but there was no better inspiration than the distinguishing character of the mighty Byerley horse, having played a remarkable role in Europe’s history. 
Byerley boasts of top notes of Bergamot and Cardamom and moves on to become more sensual with a combination of woody notes. All in all, the heavenly mixture of notes brings out a rich, elegant and long-lasting signature.

With this latest addition, Parfums de Marly continues to constitute an eternal monument to some of the most marvelous creatures in the world.

Perfumer: Yasnn Vasnier

Top Notes: Bergamot, Cardamon 
Heart Notes: Cedar Wood, Guaiac Wood
Base Notes: Vetyver Java, Balsam

PARFUMS DE MARLY

Eternal luxury

The aloof elegance of racehorses. 
The intimate luxury of a fragrance. 

King Louis XV cultivated two all-consuming passions: thoroughbreds and perfume. 
Behind the “stud farms of France”, which probably housed Europe’s most beautiful stables, the sovereign also made the town of Grasse the world perfume capital and gave his letters of nobility to this craft and to the trade of perfumer. 
And to reconcile his two passions, Louis XV commissioned Guillaume Coustou in 1739 to sculpt the famous “Marly horses”, statues of horses that decorated the monumental fountain, duly fragranced, at the express request of the King, like all those in the French court called “the fragranced court” by the other European monarchies. 

Parfums de Marly chooses to rekindle the pomp of a sort of golden age of perfumery. 
Perfumery before marketing.
Before globalisation.
Before being accessible to the masses.
