Valero is a woody fougère Extrait de Parfum where the strength of Bourbon geranium fuses with the elegance of lavender, enriched by dynamic notes of sandalwood and ambrox. Like a harmonious symphony, the notes follow one another with precision to create a balanced fragrance with an enduring presence on the skin. A tribute to timeless elegance, Valero is designed for those who honor the past while shaping the future. Its bottle cap is adorned with a chevron motif, inspired by the iconic parquet floors of the Château de Marly. “Valero explores the structure of a woody fougère, stoked by a desire for purity and transmission. I was looking for a simple yet extremely structured composition: lavender, Bourbon geranium, and cypress for the aromatic structure; patchouli and sandalwood for the base notes. This fragrance was designed to embody elegance in motion, rooted in the great classics yet turned toward the future, a form of olfactory clarity that is discreet yet assertive.” — Julien Sprecher, Founder & Artistic Director of Parfums de Marly. Alongside Eragon and Carios, Valero belongs to the "Les Extraits" collection, which is rooted in the heritage of French savoir-faire and composed from the highest quality ingredients. Each Extrait is presented in an eco-designed, reusable luxury case, distinguished by guilloché-inspired detailing that pays homage to the 18th-century art of high-precision mechanical engraving.
