Description

Parfums de Marly Greenley Eau de Parfum is a refined, energetic citrus-aromatic fragrance that captures the essence of nature’s freshness with a sophisticated twist. While its green and zesty profile makes it seem like a classic freshie, Greenley has the structure and quality that elevates it into niche territory.

The opening is sparkling and lively, dominated by green apple, bergamot, and mandarin orange. It’s juicy, tart, and crisp—like biting into a cold apple on a summer morning. The citrus blend adds brightness without being too sharp, and the combination feels instantly clean and energizing.

As it transitions into the heart, violet leaf, petitgrain, and cashmeran enter the picture. These notes create a soft, musky-green accord that’s both airy and grounded. Violet leaf brings a subtle vegetal quality, while petitgrain reinforces the natural greenness. Cashmeran adds a soft woody-musky layer that smooths everything out, preventing the scent from feeling too linear.

The base is composed of oakmoss, cedarwood, amberwood, and musk, giving Greenley its longevity and backbone. The dry-down is drier and woodier than the opening, but it maintains the clean freshness all the way through. The mossy undertones evoke the sensation of walking through a dewy forest, reinforcing its natural, grounded character.

Greenley is versatile, wearable in nearly any setting or season, though it shines especially well in spring and summer. Unlike many designer freshies, it doesn’t rely on aquatic notes or heavy sweetness. Instead, it leans into natural elements, delivering a crisp, mature freshness that feels premium.

Projection is moderate with a noticeable, refreshing trail for the first few hours, and longevity is around 6 to 8 hours, which is strong for a fresh fragrance.

The bottle is striking—a deep green gradient with the signature Parfums de Marly stallion insignia. It’s bold yet elegant, matching the juice inside.
