Parfums de Marly unveils Athénaïs, inspired by Athénaïs de Montespan, an emblematic figure of Louis XIV’s reign.
Drawing on the spirit of the 18th century, the fragrance reflects the distinctive role certain ingredients have played throughout history: neroli—once prized for scenting gloves and bathwater—embodied refined freshness and a sense of distinction, while tonka bean, introduced later, reveals a more sensual and enveloping facet.
This duality unfolds in the trail: a sparkling opening of neroli and yuzu, a generous floral heart of jasmine and orange blossom, and a base of powdery sweetness with vanilla and tonka bean—long-lasting and enveloping as it settles on the skin. A radiant, subtle, and elegant sillage.
