Parfums de Marly Carlisle Eau de Parfum is a regal and opulent scent—an autumnal feast of spices, woods, and velvety fruit accords, steeped in warmth and depth. This is a powerhouse fragrance, sophisticated and daring, with a baroque richness that makes it stand apart in the Parfums de Marly lineup.
It opens with a bold and intoxicating blend of green apple and nutmeg, immediately establishing a sweet-spicy duality. The apple here is not light and fresh—it’s dark, juicy, almost caramelized, and layered with nutmeg’s dusty warmth. Saffron and tonka bean soon follow, adding creamy spice and a touch of exotic sweetness.
The heart unfolds with an unexpected elegance. Davanna and rose create a unique floral-fruity chord—slightly herbal, slightly boozy—tempered by a backdrop of patchouli. These mid-notes give Carlisle a seductive, complex edge without making it cloying or overly floral.
As it settles into the base, vanilla, opoponax (sweet myrrh), and resins melt into sandalwood and moss, creating a dense, luxurious trail. There’s a leathery-amber tone here that is warm, seductive, and long-lasting. It’s smooth, dense, and inviting—ideal for those who love bold, spicy-oriental compositions.
Carlisle is for the confident. It doesn’t try to be crowd-pleasing—it is the crowd. One spray is enough to fill a room, and it wears like a tailored velvet jacket—powerful, textural, and unmistakably luxe.
Performance is exceptional—12+ hours longevity with pronounced projection for the first 6–8 hours. This is not subtle; it announces you well before you arrive.
The bottle mirrors the richness inside—black with gold detailing, exuding both classicism and strength.
