by Parfums de Marly
Sedley by Parfums de Marly is a crisp, refreshingly clean citrus-mint fragrance designed for spring and summer wear. It opens with a bright burst of bergamot, lemon, and mint, delivering an effervescent, almost Sprite-like quality. The aromatic heart features lavender, rosemary, and olibanum, lending a mature, barber shop vibe without becoming overpowering. As it settles, it dries down to a soft, creamy blend of ambroxan, cashmeran, and sandalwood, with subtle woody notes from cedar and vetiver. While the initial presentation is vibrant and invigorating, this scent fades quickly after an hour, becoming a delicate skin scent with modest longevity. Despite this, it maintains a high-quality feel with ingredients that are well-balanced, natural-smelling, and inoffensive. Many users describe it as perfect for daytime wear, office environments, or beach outings, and note its ability to attract compliments without being intrusive.
