Parfums de Marly Killer
Yes, you heard me right. Forget Parfums de Marly and buy this fragrance! A sweet and spicy masterpiece with character and depth in a niche version, but at a designer price. The guys from PdM can only look puzzled behind their massive bottles. Right after smelling this fragrance I knew my Layton had to go and that's saying something. Layton by Parfums de Marly has meant a lot to me so far and still does. After all, I wrote my first comment on the perfume. However, I realized that I needed to move on to new shores. The Layton went straight to the souk after that. Of course, this decision has a very subjective and partly irrational character, but maybe some who read this comment can understand my decision. Tied to this I hope with my nevertheless very lurid title straight the PdM carriers to address, in order to animate you with this comment to thinking and discussing.
Before we now turn to the perfume itself, I would first like to say a big thank you to dear JoHannes, who made this fragrance possible for me. Without him, I would never have come up with this enchanting fragrance! Thank you very much :)
Oh my, what have I put myself through. Where do I even begin with this fragrance? There seems to be no beginning and no end. Okay there are already, but just only in the scent course. The scent itself though, is just so harmoniously composed that it's hard to describe the scent itself. At least for me. Therefore, I try in the following a little to shimmy along associations.
The first impression when spraying on is a bit unattractive. Dusty-musty and synthetic, as if you were in a freshly painted attic. But after a while then pushes leather and rose geranium in the foreground, which are embedded in the sweet fragrance notes from the base. Now the fragrance unfolds and the true magnificence of the scent is revealed, like a peacock revealing its feathers. However, this one doesn't get too sweet, which the scent pyramid with vanilla and amber might suggest. I think the blame here can go to the patchouli, which balances the sweetness and gives the scent a pleasantly cool twist. The oud is also pleasantly interwoven with the notes and gives the scent a wonderful depth and strong character that makes you think of a seeming force of nature, like the Grand Canyon. Towards the end, after about 8 hours, it becomes creamy-sweet, like white chocolate and you can now draw a definite resemblance to "Carlisle". After more than 12 hours, the scent is still noticeable until it fades out after about 16 hours.
The actual fantastic thing about the fragrance, however, is in the name itself. The perfume has a soul for me! This I have ultimately also missed at the Layton, which for me now seems rather superficial to me. This fragrance, on the other hand, takes you in completely! He just knows how to inspire, but in a soul-touching quiet way.
I have to think of the visit of a friend of my parents in Mallorca. He lives with his wife in the middle of untouched nature and has built several mud houses there. The air is wonderfully warm and I can smell figs and dates. In the cool mud huts, which are built like half-timbered houses with wooden cross braces, we seek shelter from the dry heat. Inside you get a grounded feeling, you feel safe and secure inside. My father's friend is already very old and a bit musty with his 80 years, but you notice his wisdom and life experience. He knows how to convince with his inner values and his kindness. I am fascinated by his big black leather chair and the rose geraniums that decorate his house from the outside.
I also really like the bottle and I've just become a real flacon fetishist :D
Firstly, the lettering, which is placed at the very bottom, suggesting a deep center of gravity, which to me represents the inner strength I get from the fragrance. The completely transparent glass body, which to me stands for openness and confidence. The amber liquid almost fills the entire body and when you hold the bottle in your hand it feels like you are in direct contact with the contents (soul of the perfume). The spray head is kept minimalistic only decorated by a black plastic cap. However, the construction of the bottle is inexplicable to me. This is namely, very creative, slightly bent forward built, as if the perfume would lean forward.
Soul by Costume National is a wonderfully composed fragrance that lacks nothing. Quite the opposite, for me it is an enchanting perfume! Like an orchestra, the fragrance sweeps you along emotionally and leaves you wondering.
"Carlisle" has a similar smell to me, however the Soul touches me much more and the price difference is insane. Also, the Soul creates a better balance and combines cool and warm elements for me.
Forget Parfums de Marly, buy this one ;)
