Parfums de Marly is the French niche house that brought equestrian opulence to modern perfumery. Founded in 2009 and inspired by the royal stables and court of Versailles under Louis XV, every fragrance in the collection is named after a horse breed or a figure from the Versailles court. The result is a house that smells simultaneously historical and completely contemporary — rich, refined, and extraordinarily well-crafted. Prices start at around £230 per bottle in the UK, making Parfums de Marly dupes one of the most sought-after finds in British fragrance communities.
Best Parfums de Marly Dupes UK 2026
1. Pegasus Dupe — The Creamy White Floral Masculine
Pegasus (2011) is Parfums de Marly’s signature masculine and one of the most imitated fragrances in modern niche perfumery. Bergamot and heliotrope open onto a rich floral heart — jasmine, geranium — before settling into a deeply creamy base of sandalwood, vanilla and musk. It’s sweet for a masculine fragrance, but the creaminess is more sophisticated than sugary. Often compared to a more luxurious, fuller version of Armani Code.
Our Pegasus-inspired fragrance is one of our most requested UK references. The heliotrope-bergamot opening, the jasmine heart, the long-lasting creamy sandalwood base. Exceptional longevity and projection — a few sprays is enough.
Best for: Evenings and special occasions, autumn and winter, men who love sophisticated sweet fragrances, gifting.
2. Layton Dupe — The Apple-Spice Statement
Layton (2016) became a phenomenon in the UK fragrance community almost immediately. The combination of green apple, jasmine, lavender and geranium over a spiced vanilla and sandalwood base creates something both fresh and warm, modern and classic. It’s one of those fragrances that works equally well in summer and winter — rare for a niche masculine.
Our Layton-inspired fragrance captures that distinctive apple-lavender opening, the warm floral heart, and the spiced sandalwood base. Excellent performance and one of our most-worn UK men’s fragrances.
Best for: Year-round versatile masculine, work and evenings, anyone who loves well-crafted spiced florals.
3. Herod Dupe — The Tobacco Vanilla Masterpiece
Herod (2012) is for those who found Tobacco Vanille too sweet or too mass-market. It takes the same tobacco-vanilla territory but approaches it with more restraint and sophistication: pipe tobacco, cypress, cedarwood and a perfectly calibrated vanilla base that smells expensive rather than dessert-like. A masterclass in warm masculine perfumery.
Our inspired version delivers that refined tobacco-vanilla warmth with the same cypresswood and cedarwood structure. One of our most praised autumnal fragrances.
Best for: Autumn and winter evenings, sophisticated tobacco lovers, anyone who finds most vanillas too sweet.
4. Delina Dupe — The Rose Perfection
Delina (2017) is Parfums de Marly’s signature feminine and one of the most beautiful rose fragrances of the modern era. Turkish rose, lychee and rhubarb over peony and jasmine, with a base of musk, cashmeran and sandalwood. It’s the platonic ideal of a feminine niche fragrance: original, luxurious, feminine without being delicate.
Our Delina-inspired fragrance captures that luminous rose heart with the lychee freshness and the creamy cashmeran-musk base. Long-lasting and projecting beautifully.
Best for: Evenings and special occasions, spring and summer, rose lovers who want something truly special.
