A Paris perfume house inspired by an 18th-century royal château, with bottles that carry a pair of horses. Parfums de Marly was founded in Paris in 2009 by Julien Sprecher. The name comes from the Château de Marly, a royal retreat that the house uses as shorthand for the lavish, festive side of the 18th-century French court. Horses are part of that story. A retailer account describes Louis's love of breeding them and the statuary commissioned for the estate, including Guillaume Coustou's Marly Horses, and the house's bottles carry a design with two horses, which Parfumo notes is another passion of the founder. Esscentum carries eight Parfums de Marly fragrances. This guide covers what defines the house, what's in stock, and a notable gap in the range. Confirm exact pricing, notes and availability on the live Parfums de Marly collection page rather than treating anything here as fixed. What Makes Parfums de Marly Different? Historical storytelling. The house frames its fragrances as a revival of 18th-century French perfumery, with names and imagery drawn from the world of royal horses and the court. A recognizable bottle. The design with two horses and a silver or gold cap makes the line easy to spot. Popular signatures. Retailer coverage names Layton, Herod, Delina and Pegasus as the house's most famous fragrances, and notes that Layton, Pegasus and Delina share a warm vanilla heart. That makes a sample set a quick way to find a favorite. Luxury pricing. Always confirm current pricing on the product page rather than relying on figures seen elsewhere. Parfums de Marly Fragrances Available at Esscentum Retailers list all eight of these as eau de parfum: Pegasus — a composition of fruits, spices and woody notes according to Niche Beauty, and one of the house's four best-known names. Pegasus Exclusif — a reinterpretation of Pegasus, described by the same retailer as turning the classic into a more sensual experience. Check the listing for how it differs. Herod — one of the house's four best-known names, according to retailer coverage. Haltane — described as starting with a herbal top note and developing into a soft composition with gourmand nuances. Castley, Oajan, Palatine and Perseus — four further fragrances. We haven't described these because we couldn't verify their notes, so read each product page. Inventory note: Layton and Delina, the house's best-known fragrances, don't appear in Esscentum's indexed catalog, and neither do Delina Exclusif, Delina La Rosée or Layton Exclusif. Make sure nothing implies they're available, and consider raising the gap with the merchandising team. Delina is the house's best-known women's line, so the current selection may have nothing marketed to women. How to Choose a Parfums de Marly Fragrance Start with the best-known names Of the four signatures, Pegasus and Herod are the two Esscentum stocks. They're the most useful reference points for understanding the house. Understand the Exclusif versions Pegasus Exclusif is a separate listing from Pegasus. Read both product pages before choosing between them. Sample if you can Because several of the house's best-known fragrances share a vanilla heart, a sample or discovery set is a quick way to tell them apart.

One house tells an 18th-century royal story. The other sells itself on performance and a dash of provocation. Here is how to choose. Parfums de Marly and Initio Parfums Privés both occupy the confident, high-impact end of niche perfume, and both are popular with shoppers who want fragrances people notice. Their identities are very different, though. This guide compares their origins, style and range, and helps you decide where to begin. Esscentum stocks both, with eight Parfums de Marly products and seven Initio products, so each is easy to scan in one sitting. Confirm current pricing, notes and availability on the Parfums de Marly and Initio Parfums Privés collection pages rather than treating anything here as fixed. At a Glance Parfums de Marly Initio Parfums Privés Origin Paris Sources differ: described as Parisian or Dubai-based Founded 2009, by Julien Sprecher 2015 Theme The 18th-century French court, the Château de Marly and horses Perfume as an emotional and aphrodisiac force, with science and art combined Concentration Eau de parfum, per retailers Mostly eau de parfum, with some extraits Gender Varies by release Marketed as unisex Esscentum range 8 fragrances 7 fragrances Origins and Philosophy Parfums de Marly was founded in Paris in 2009 by Julien Sprecher. Its name comes from the Château de Marly, a royal retreat that the house uses as shorthand for the lavish, festive side of the 18th-century French court. Horses are part of that story: retailer accounts cite the royal passion for breeding them, and the house's bottles carry a design with two horses. Initio went to market in 2015 and presents perfume as something close to a ritual. The name is a Latin word that retailers describe as meaning both "from the beginning" and "to initiate," and the house describes fragrance as having ancient roots in magic and purification. Parfumo says the brand launched seven unisex fragrances after years of research, and that its perfumers work closely with chemists. Sources disagree on where Initio is based. Some retailers call it Parisian, while Parfumo describes it as Dubai-based. A creative director known as Nadia leads it, and retailers say she has kept her background private. Scent Style Parfums de Marly is known for warm, vanilla-led richness. Retailer coverage names Layton, Herod, Delina and Pegasus as the signatures and notes that Layton, Pegasus and Delina share a warm vanilla heart. Of the fragrances Esscentum stocks, Pegasus is described as a composition of fruits, spices and woody notes, and Haltane as starting with a herbal top note before developing into a soft composition with gourmand nuances. Initio's best-known work is bolder and more explicitly seductive. Oud for Greatness, the house's flagship, is described by a French retailer as saffron and nutmeg over a polished agarwood heart with lavender, patchouli and musk, opulent and dark with huge projection. Side Effect is described as saffron, rum and tobacco wrapped in vanilla and cinnamon, warm and heady for cold-weather evenings. Blessed Baraka is listed as boozy woody amber with creamy sandalwood, and Paragon as aromatic herbs and spiced plum grounded by resins. The pattern is rich, noticeable and often boozy or smoky. We couldn't source notes for Can't Get Enough, Power Self or Oud for Greatness Neo, so check their product pages. Concentration and Performance Retailers list all eight Parfums de Marly products as eau de parfum. Initio mixes concentrations: Luckyscent lists Oud for Greatness, Side Effect, Blessed Baraka and Can't Get Enough as eau de parfum, and Paragon and Power Self as extrait de parfum, which is generally more concentrated. Initio is marketed on performance, and the French retailer describes Oud for Greatness as having huge projection, but that's a retailer's claim and individual experience varies, so treat product pages as the guide. Compare current prices on the listings, since niche pricing isn't standardized. Which One Suits You? Choose Parfums de Marly if You like warm, vanilla-led richness with a story rooted in French history. You respond to heritage branding and a recognizable bottle. You prefer a house whose signature names are widely discussed. Choose Initio if You want a bold, oud-, rum- or tobacco-forward statement. You like the idea of high performance and some extrait options. You prefer a unisex house with a more provocative personality. Where to Start With Each These picks are confirmed as listed in Esscentum's catalog, but check current stock before ordering. Parfums de Marly: Pegasus, one of the house's four best-known names; Herod, another of them; and Haltane if you prefer a herbal, gourmand direction. See our Parfums de Marly guide. Initio: Oud for Greatness, the flagship (Oud for Greatness Neo is a separate listing, so check how it differs); Side Effect for a spiced rum and tobacco warmth; and Blessed Baraka for boozy woody amber. Not a verdict: These houses suit different moods. Parfums de Marly leans toward warm elegance, Initio toward drama. If you can, sample one or two from each before committing to a full bottle. Frequently Asked Questions Is Initio better than Parfums de Marly? Neither is better in general. Parfums de Marly suits shoppers who want warm, heritage-driven richness, while Initio suits those who want bolder, performance-led fragrances. Where is Initio from? Sources differ. Some retailers describe it as a Parisian house and others as Dubai-based. It launched in 2015. Is Initio unisex? Yes, the house markets its fragrances as unisex, though retailers note that some lean more masculine or feminine in feel. Where can I buy Parfums de Marly and Initio in Lebanon? Both are available online through Esscentum's dedicated collections. Always verify current stock and pricing on the product page before ordering. Compare both houses side by side.

Everything to know about the Italian niche house before you buy — house style, collections, and how to choose a bottle that fits you. If you've spent any time in niche fragrance circles, you've heard the name Xerjoff mentioned with something close to reverence. It's an Italian house that built its reputation on rare raw materials, ornate gold-detailed bottles, and a refusal to chase mainstream designer trends. For shoppers in Lebanon looking for something beyond the perfume aisle at the mall, Xerjoff is one of the more rewarding brands to get to know — and one of the easier to get wrong if you buy on name recognition alone. This guide walks through what actually sets Xerjoff apart, which collections within the house are available through Esscentum, and how to narrow down a shortlist before you commit to a bottle. Where a claim needs current pricing or stock confirmation, we've flagged it — always check the live Xerjoff collection page for exact prices and availability, since niche fragrance inventory shifts often. What Makes Xerjoff Different from Designer Perfume? Xerjoff was founded in 2003 by Sergio Momo, with roots in Turin, Italy. Unlike the mass-market designer houses stocked in every duty-free, Xerjoff operates in the niche and luxury segment: smaller batches, higher raw-material cost per bottle, and a house identity built around opulence rather than mass appeal. That's the main thing to understand before you shop the brand — you're not comparing it to a typical department-store fragrance. You're comparing it to other niche houses like Amouage, Parfums de Marly, or Initio. What this means in practice for a Lebanese buyer: Pricing sits at the top end of the market. Niche houses use costlier ingredients and lower production volumes, which is reflected in the price. Always confirm current pricing on the product page rather than relying on outdated screenshots or reseller quotes. Presentation is part of the experience. Xerjoff bottles are heavier, often gold-capped, and designed to sit on a dresser rather than disappear into a drawer. Scent profiles lean bold. The house is generally associated with rich, layered compositions — gourmand, oud, and amber-forward directions show up frequently across the catalog, though exact notes vary by line and should be checked on each product page rather than assumed. Xerjoff Collections Available at Esscentum Esscentum currently lists a substantial Xerjoff assortment — one of the deepest single-brand ranges on the site. Rather than one flat product list, Xerjoff organizes its output into named collections, each with its own character. Lines currently represented on Esscentum include: Casamorati 1888 — the house's homage line, referencing old-world Italian perfumery. Join the Club — a more contemporary, unisex-leaning range. Kemi Collection — one of Xerjoff's higher-concentration, more experimental ranges. Oud Stars — the house's dedicated oud-focused line, relevant for shoppers who specifically search for oud perfumes in Lebanon. Shooting Stars — an eclectic, frequently expanding range within the catalog. 17/17 Stone Label and XJ 1861 — two more structured sub-collections, each with a distinct thematic thread. Individual signature releases such as Erba Pura, Naxos, and the Torino series, which tend to be among the more searched-for names in the range. Because Xerjoff spreads its catalog across so many sub-lines, it's easy to land on the wrong page when you're searching. If you already know you want an oud-forward scent, start with Oud Stars rather than browsing the full collection — it narrows the decision immediately. Buying tip: Product names within a Xerjoff line can look similar at a glance (several Oud Stars or Shooting Stars entries share format conventions). Double-check the exact product title against what you researched before adding to cart, especially if you're shopping from a screenshot or a recommendation from a friend. How to Choose the Right Xerjoff for You? With a catalog this wide, the fastest way to a good decision is narrowing by a few practical filters rather than browsing everything at once. Start with occasion, not just scent family Niche fragrances at this concentration and cost are often bought as a "signature" piece rather than an everyday rotation scent. Before you shop, it helps to know whether you're after an evening or event fragrance, an office-safe daily option, or a gift for someone else's collection — the answer changes which line is worth starting with. Decide how bold you want to go Xerjoff as a house skews rich and noticeable rather than subtle. If you're new to niche perfumery and used to lighter designer scents, it's worth reading the specific product description on each page (rather than assuming based on the brand's general reputation) before committing, since intensity varies meaningfully across sub-collections. Think about who else will notice it Because these are less common bottles than mainstream designer names, wearing Xerjoff in Lebanon tends to draw more comments and questions than a scent everyone already recognizes. If that's part of the appeal for you — standing out rather than blending in — the brand is a strong fit. Buying Xerjoff in Lebanon: What to Check Before You Order A few practical points worth confirming at checkout, regardless of which retailer you buy from: Bottle size. Niche houses frequently offer multiple sizes (including smaller formats) for the same fragrance — confirm the size listed matches what you intend to buy. Current price. Niche fragrance pricing is not standardized across resellers the way mainstream designer pricing is. Treat the live product page as the source of truth rather than a price you saw elsewhere. Stock status. Given how deep the Xerjoff catalog is, availability on individual SKUs can shift. If a specific bottle you want isn't listed, it's worth checking back or reaching out directly. We won't make claims here about authorized distribution status or exclusivity for any brand — if that matters to your decision, confirm it directly with the retailer before purchasing. Frequently Asked Questions Is Xerjoff considered a luxury perfume brand? Yes. Xerjoff is generally classified within the niche and luxury fragrance segment, positioned above mainstream designer perfume lines in both pricing and production approach. Where can I buy Xerjoff perfumes in Lebanon? Xerjoff is available online through Esscentum's dedicated collection, covering a wide range of the brand's sub-lines. Always verify current stock and pricing on the product page before ordering. Which Xerjoff line should I try first? It depends on what you're looking for. Oud Stars is the natural starting point if you want an oud-forward scent, Casamorati 1888 if you're drawn to a more classic, old-world character, and Join the Club if you want something more contemporary and easier to wear daily. Is Xerjoff worth the price? That depends on individual priorities around ingredient quality, exclusivity, and presentation versus cost. It's worth comparing a specific bottle's description and price directly against alternatives you're considering rather than judging the brand as a whole.
