Palatine draws its inspiration from the image of Princess Elisabeth-Charlotte of Bavaria, known as Princess Palatine, a free woman, enamored of the philosophy of the Enlightenment and a notable personality of the Château de Marly. Her unconventional spirit, her confidence and her unusual independence for a woman of her time and rank had a strong impact on her contemporaries.
Palatine celebrates this bold and modern spirit by interpreting an iconic note: the violet petal. Both sophisticated and gourmand, delicate and radiant, this fragrance opens with a fruity head of sparkling bergamot and juicy peach. At the heart, tuberose intertwines with fresh and subtly powdery violet. Contrasting with the initial freshness, the creamy sweetness of vanilla combines with the woody warmth of sandalwood in the base, leaving a sensual and refined trail.
Palatine, in its purple bottle, is an ode to freedom of spirit and independence, a tribute to those who dare to defy conventions and embrace their true essence and express themselves as they are.
Fascinated by the beauty, refinement and excellence of the 18th century, the company's founder, Julien Sprecher, decided to found Parfums de Marly in 2009. A true tribute to the Chateau of Louis XV, a palace of pleasures, where the most extravagant and exclusive parties took place. The king's court was so obsessed with perfume that it was nicknamed the ‘court of perfumes’: pouches, fans, gloves and even fountains were bathed in fragrance. The House aims to revive the splendours of a golden age of perfumery.
