One of the rarest treasures in Haute Parfumerie, natural oud
enriches iconic creations such as Layton Exclusif and Haltane. Its
deep and rich scent embodies true luxury and timeless elegance.​

Extracted from the heart of agarwood, oud is formed through a
slow, centuries-long natural transformation—making each drop a
true rarity. ​

Though deeply rooted in oriental traditions, natural oud finds a
modern, refined expression in the world of Parfums de Marly. ​
Its intense, resinous, and woody scent gives each composition a
complex character that is at once mysterious, warm, and
profoundly sensual.

One of the most precious and universal raw materials, Bourbon vanilla is intimately linked to the world of the Maison. Shining at the heart of Althaïr, the Madagascar Bourbon vanilla is a direct descendant of the first vanilla introduced to France in the 18th century.​

​It was during this time that, like cocoa, vanilla was brought from Mexico and introduced into the royal greenhouses at Versailles.​​

​Extracted from the pods of a plant closely related to the orchid, Bourbon vanilla is cultivated through a process requiring patience and expertise. Its careful harvesting, carried out entirely by hand, ensures the highest quality.​

​Known as ‘black gold’ by perfumers, Bourbon vanilla has a rich, smooth, and warm character. Striking a delicate balance between sweetness and depth, this noble ingredient gives each fragrance a unique signature.
