Parfums de Marly

Carlisle

Carlisle by Parfums de Marly is an unisex eau de parfum from 2015 in the luxury price tier. It opens with green apple, nutmeg and saffron, moves into davana, tonka bean and rose and dries down to vanilla, patchouli and opoponax. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

Green Apple Tart, crunchy and sharp. Cleaner and cooler than red apple.
Nutmeg Warm, woody and slightly sweet. Cosy without being gourmand.
Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.

Heart

Davana Odd and gorgeous — apricot jam, rum and dried herbs at once.
Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.

Dry-down

Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
Opoponax Sweet myrrh. Balsamic, warm and slightly medicinal.
