Sedley Parfums de Marly 2019

Sedley is one of those fragrances that is really hard to judge. Above it hovers the eternal question, does a niche fragrance necessarily have to be special and as unique as possible, or can it also be linear and trivial?

I think here they will separate the camps, as they often do. If you're a friend of Parfums de Marly, you'll be looking for the good and special things in the fragrance because you want to be true to it. He knows other, more complex scents of the house and if he searches long enough, he will find that special something about Sedley. It's just a question of wanting to.

Those who are sceptical about the brand anyway, will probably not discover anything in all their attempts that would qualify them for this price range. The prejudgement, coupled with the very ordinary fragrance, will not be able to create an inspiring impression here.

It is fresh, minty and very pleasing. It will also bring compliments. But so will many people for half price. Percival from the house remains a little stronger, more striking and somehow more interesting in my memory.
For my part, I find that not every niche fragrance has to reinvent the wheel. And for what Sedley wants to be, it at least meets the good standard, so that a lover can find a certain appeal in it. If only he looks for it fast enough, because Sedley doesn't stay long, which makes it a little disappointing for me
