Athénaïs, a Radiant Aura

A radiant new fragrance, for vibrant energy. Athénaïs is a contemporary echo of the flamboyance of Athénaïs de Montespan, of a spontaneous and refined feminine power that transcends centuries.

Inspired by a Heroine

Athénaïs de Montespan marked the reign of King Louis XIV with her modernity and charisma. A patron of the arts, renowned for her wit, creativity and commanding presence, an emblematic figure of royal receptions at Marly, and the inspiration for an entire generation of influential women.

Through a vibrant and free-spirited composition, the fragrance that bears her name is the Maison’s tribute to the story of those who assert their uniqueness by fully embracing the different facets of their personality.

“Athénaïs embodies the feminine energy that fascinates as much as it liberates. I wanted to mingle neroli and tonka bean, two contrasting notes, and weave a tie between history and a distinct facet of femininity today.”

JULIEN SPRECHER,

Founder and Artistic Director of Parfums de Marly

A Dazzling Duality

The fragrance opens with luminous top notes: neroli, bergamot and yuzu instantly capture attention. At its heart, the voluptuous richness of orange blossom and sambac jasmine evokes the refined opulence

of the French Court. At its base is a soft, enveloping amber-powdery trail carried by a duo of tonka bean and vanilla, leaving a long-lasting sensuality on the skin.

The balance of radiance and depth, freshness and sensuality, perfectly underscores the duality of a free yet controlled, radiant yet mysterious personality that answers only to its own uniqueness. Such creative tension is further reflected on the bottle, in shades of tender pink and energetic, vibrant orange.
