Bergamot, tried on skin before you decide
Parfums de Marly Valaya is an Eau de Parfum that we decant into glass spray vials of 2, 5 or 10 ml. The pyramid starts with Bergamot, Mandarin and White Peach and ends on White Musks, Akigalawood, Vanilla and Vetiver. Trying it as a sample first means your decision rests on wearing it, not on a description.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
At the top of the pyramid: Bergamot, Mandarin and White Peach. Expect to notice this part first and to lose it first. Notice how close it stays to the skin and how much of it others pick up. The opening is the loudest part and the shortest, so let it pass before deciding.
Valaya continues with Orange Blossom and White Flowers in the heart. Notice whether this stage feels like a change or like a smooth continuation on you. Warm skin and cool skin can bring out different sides, so try both if you can. Smell it right after applying and again later in the day, because the first minutes rarely tell the whole story.
The pyramid of Valaya ends on White Musks, Akigalawood, Vanilla and Vetiver. Wear the sample until this stage, so you judge the whole arc and not only the start. One wearing shows a mood, several wearings show the perfume. Do not judge it next to other perfumes on the same arm, as they blur each other.
Testing it
Nothing on record ties Valaya to a season or a moment, and that makes a broad test the best one. Wear it on at least three different days before you decide. Leave other perfumes off that day, so nothing interferes.
Parfums de Marly Valaya is tagged for women. Collectors use decants to explore widely without filling a shelf. People who tire of scents quickly do well with small sizes. A label like that is a hint, not a rule: wear what suits you.
Choosing a bottle unsmelled is a gamble, and a decant takes the gamble out of it. The decant is filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us. Parfums de Marly is not involved, and it is not an official brand sample. 75 ml is the size of the full bottle; the sample is the small step before it.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.
Our own label names the brand, the perfume, the concentration and the size.

It is a small glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml with our own label on it. It sprays like a bottle, so you apply Valaya the way you normally would.
The recorded base notes are White Musks, Akigalawood, Vanilla and Vetiver. Wear the sample into the evening to meet them, because they come forward only after the opening and heart have faded.
Probably not exactly. Skin, weather and the amount you apply all change how a perfume comes across, which is the reason to wear Parfums de Marly Valaya yourself before deciding.
The brand
70 perfumes by Parfums de Marly: that is our current list of samples from this house. Every sample is a decant in a glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us. You find Parfums de Marly among the niche perfume samples. Trying two or three of them side by side shows what the house is about on your own skin.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
