Princesse Marina De Bourbon

Princesse Marina De Bourbon is a French perfume brand created by Marina Gacry, better known as Princesse Marina de Bourbon, wife of Prince André de Bourbon-Parme. According to brand and retailer sources, she launched her own fragrance house around 20 years before a 2014 blog feature, placing the creation of the brand in the mid 1990s. The line is rooted in her connection to the Bourbon-Parma family, a cadet branch of the historic Bourbon dynasty, and plays strongly on royal imagery and French aristocratic heritage.

The brand’s early and best known releases include Marina de Bourbon Classique (often simply called Marina de Bourbon), which established the house’s feminine, ornate style, and Aqua di Aqua plus its masculine counterpart Aqua di Aqua Homme, frequently cited in retail listings. Over time the catalog has grown to include lines such as Bleu Royal, L’Or, and Asteria, covering feminine, masculine, and unisex territory. Fragrances are developed and produced in France, aligning the brand with the broader tradition of French perfumery.

Princesse Marina De Bourbon focuses on accessible luxury rather than haute couture pricing, with wide distribution through discounters and online retailers such as FragranceNet, Perfume.com, and mainstream chains. The bottles often feature crown, scepter, or jewel motifs that reinforce the royal narrative. While detailed perfumer credits are rarely emphasized in public materials, the house consistently presents itself as translating the founder’s idea of “royal” perfumery into wearable day-to-day scents for a broad audience.
