Fruity leather, despite what the note pyramid says
The person who came up with the note pyramid of this fragrance should be fired. It's already difficult to accurately describe a fragrance using only real-world objects that most people know the smell of, but here it seems Parfums de Marly are intentionally trying to mislead you. The two notes that should be at the forefront of this pyramid are 1. leather, and 2. raspberry. Any other note present here is entirely secondary/support.
If leather and raspberry remind you of Tuscan Leather Eau de Parfum or Ombré Leather (2018) Eau de Parfum, you are correct. Godolphin is a slightly fruitier interpretation of that DNA and thus is probably redundant to own if you own at least one of those. But I think any collector who has even a passing interest in leather should own at least one of these three.
Godolphin is an easy-to-wear leather scent with a woody-musky drydown. It has a bit of a sharp biting "metallic" quality in the opening, but it is soon smoothed out by soft woods and florals. Probably in the middle-of-the-pack as far as PdM's oeuvre. Definitely doesn't get any points for creativity, but is a decent addition to the collection.
