Parfums de Marly Alternatives UK: A Fragrance-by-Fragrance Guide

Parfums de Marly has become one of the most-referenced niche houses in the dupe world - lush, maximalist fragrances with real depth, sold at niche prices to match. Rather than one blanket "Parfums de Marly alternative", we've matched our closest option to each specific fragrance below.

Delina

Soft, powdery rose with lychee. See our full Delina alternatives comparison, or go straight to Emper Melina (£19.99).

Valaya

A rich, fruity-floral with a honeyed warmth. Our match: Emper Valera (£23.99, 100ml), a vanilla eau de parfum.

Layton

One of the house's best-known unisex scents - apple, vanilla and sandalwood. Our match: Emper Unicorn (£24.99, 100ml).

Cassili

A fruity-oriental with a distinctive sweetness. Our match: Emper Melina For Woman Castle (£24.99, 80ml).

Oriana

Sweet and golden, built around apricot and vanilla. We carry two matches: Le Chameau Burj Dubai Arina (£29.99) and Emper Melina For Women Arina (£24.99) - both worth comparing, since they lean into slightly different sides of the scent.

Godolphin

A woody, slightly leathery men's scent. Our match: Emper Royal Dolphin (£21.99, 100ml).

Althair

Fresh and rose-forward. Our match: Le Chameau ATHEER (£35.50, 100ml).

Pegasus

Warm, sweet and vanilla-led. Our match: Emper Thesaurus (£21.99, 100ml).

Kalan

A rose & floral unisex scent. Our match: Emper Dylan (£27.99, 100ml).

Athalia

A soft rose & floral for women. Our match: Emper Secrets of Athens (£24.99, 100ml).
