Hamid Merati-Kashani: the trail as signature
Portrait of the perfumer
Hamid Merati-Kashani made his name with perfumes of marked presence, where opulence never rules out balance. His writing loves contrasts: an aromatic freshness at the top, a rich heart, an amber or vanilla base that leaves a tenacious trail. It is this sense of generous, refined composition that drives the success of his creations.

For PARFUMS DE MARLY, he signs LAYTON, now a modern classic, its woody-leathery version LAYTON EXCLUSIF, the citrus aromatic PERCIVAL and the oriental vanilla ALTHAÏR. For INITIO, he composes Mystic Experience, a spicy, mysterious oriental.
Oriental, aromatic and vanilla
His favourite territory brings together the oriental, aromatic and spicy families, carried by notes of vanilla, bergamot and cardamom.
