Driven by a passion for the beauty, refinement and excellence of the 18th century, Julien Sprecher, founder of the house, created Parfums de Marly in 2009 to pay homage to the Château of Louis XV, a true palace of pleasures.

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.
