Dorval
Dorval by Parfums de Marly is a masculine-leaning eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with bergamot, cardamom and pink pepper, moves into clary sage and cinnamon and dries down to vanilla, tonka bean and guaiac wood. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
Heart
- Clary Sage Softer, sweeter sage with an ambery undertone. Warm and herbal.
- Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
Dry-down
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Guaiac Wood Smoky, tarry and slightly sweet. Like a bonfire and roses.
