Parfums de Marly has unveiled Palatine, a contemporary fragrance that captures the essence of audacity and sophistication. Inspired by the colorful personality of Elizabeth Charlotte of Bavaria, known as "La Palatine," this fragrance boldly revisits the iconic note of violet petal. With its unique blend of noble raw materials and innovative technology, Palatine is a celebration of individuality and self-expression.
The fragrance presents a daring bouquet in various shades of violet, ranging from delicate violet petal to aromatic lavandin. The composition opens with fresh, fruity top notes of mandarin, bergamot, and pear, leading to a heart that features a fougère accord highlighted by traditionally masculine lavender. This unexpected twist elevates the iridescent and ultra-feminine note of violet petal, creating a harmonious balance between strength and delicacy.
As the fragrance settles, it reveals a warm base of sandalwood, musk, vanilla, and patchouli that caresses the skin like velvet. This enveloping finish leaves a long-lasting trail, embodying the signature of an unforgettable character. The inclusion of lavandin adds an aromatic depth to the scent while maintaining a sense of well-being.
Palatine’s violet petal note has been captured using Firmenich’s exclusive Natureprint technology, allowing for the reproduction of the flower's natural subtlety without picking it, thus preserving its ecosystem. This innovative approach showcases Parfums de Marly's commitment to sustainability while delivering a modern interpretation of a classic fragrance note.
The fragrance is presented in a striking transparent violet glass bottle that echoes the creativity and independent spirit of its namesake. This bold design serves as both an accessory and a statement piece, reflecting the audacity and individuality that Palatine embodies.
