Athénaïs is a tribute to the dazzling fusion of vivacity, vibrant energy, positivity, and sophistication. It opens with sparkling notes of neroli and yuzu, followed by a luminous heart of orange flower. The fragrance then settles on a warm base, where a modern duo of tonka beans and vanilla adds a powdery, addictive facet, further enriched by the comforting note of amber.
A fragrance inspired by the character of the marquise Athénaïs in 18th-century France, Louis XIV's greatest love and considered by many as the true queen of the Sun King's court. The fragrance's harmonious blend mirrors the duality in her character as an uplifting scent that radiates confidence, enveloping you softly in a glowing aura of fearless individuality.
Drawing on the splendour of 18th century French royal court life, when the finest perfumes were created for King Louis XV at the Château de Marly, Parfums de Marly is a niche French fragrance house of genuine distinction. Its fragrances combine rare ingredients with contemporary perfumery to create scents that are both timeless and of the moment. Delina, Layton and Herod have each achieved cult status among fragrance connoisseurs.
