YULE TIDE BALANCE
It may be exactly one week too late to celebrate anything about Christmas 2024 and New Year’s 2025 as it is already January 9. It’s clearly too late to say Happy New Year, but at least DANIEL PLUS LAUREN can reflect on nearly a week after Thanksgiving. DPL returned to Osswald NYC for a little holiday soirée with lots of Christmas tree scent in the air, and only on the same night as the Christmas tree lighting at Rockefeller Center. We celebrate Parfum De Marly by Yvan Jacqueline, who brought their delicious palate of perfumes which ultimately could’ve celebrated the Christmas season.

Shifting through all the fragrances Parfum De Marly has in its men and women’s collection, you will discover a key component. It’s balance. Going from dark to light, and even from Christmas Tree inspired scent, to fruity, to vanilla tones, all ingredients do not even try to out do one another.
The normal perfume fragrant process is preparing yourself for the heavy notes of deep hickory sweetness on one scent. Then, you know that perfume might just be right for you if you know the opposite end is coming. It’s the light citrusy or flowery rose scent that’s designated only for those specific notes.

Now take yourself back to Parfum De Marly and forget what DPL just said, all those perfume notes still act lock and step, but are done without the overpowering. DPL’s favorite options here are “Oriana”, floral and fruity fragrance designed entirely as a variation on texture. A mille-feuille of flaky sweetness, softness, and sensuality. A sparkling and juicy opening of mandarin and Italian bergamot with a joyful orange blossom flower and blackcurrant heart, leading to a flimsy delight of marshmallow and airy sweetness of Chantilly cream that are addictive.

Next up we jump over to the men’s side with “Haltane”, the most popular fragrance not only at the holiday party, but also amongst clients. Haltane is an original scent of both radiance and shadow. Its composition features a blend of rare and noble ingredients which revisit the tradition of 18th century French perfume making. Its dazzling freshness and herbal top notes quickly yield a warm and smooth sense of leather with a symphony of precious woods. Soft and sweet, escorted by saffron, its praline accord is an ultra-contemporary spin on the mythical oudwood.

To add a little touch to the Osswald NYC soiree hosted by Parfum De Marly’s Yvan Jacqueline, bottles of perfume were engraved. All balanced out perfectly with this little added touch for party attendees to have their own names and words edged on their bottles as a keepsake. There hasn’t been a time where Osswald NYC on 242 Mulberry Steeet threw itself a dull launch or holiday party. The date of Wednesday, December 4, 2024 continued the Osswald NYC tradition of tremendous party moments. Parfum De Marly by Yvan Jacqueline offers us a delightful elegant perfume with so much 50/50 ingredients ratio that you can for sure enjoy its light and heavy options.
