Shower Gel Freshness? Absolutely Not!
At the beginning of August, I went to my favorite perfume shop with the firm intention of finally adding Creed Viking to my collection. Once there, I had Viking sprayed on me to be completely sure about the purchase.
But somehow, Viking was not quite what I remembered from last time. Apparently, it showed on my face that I wasn't entirely satisfied, and the extremely nice lady said she had something for me that she thought might harmonize better than Viking and me.
She then asked if I knew Parfums de Marly and if she could spray a fresh and summery men's fragrance called Sedley on me.
Hopeful and excited, I agreed, and I was not disappointed!
I have read some comments here mentioning a shower gel-like freshness. Sedley is clearly much more than that; you can tell that only the highest quality ingredients are used at de Marly. The freshness is balanced and juicy, and as cedar and sandalwood join in later, it creates a masculine magnum opus.
A very profound summer scent with a good sillage and excellent longevity. I noticed a spray of Sedley on a shirt even a week later.
Don't be misled into thinking it's a 0815 shower gel scent; it is definitely more than that. Try it and see for yourself.

@Sengajaa I just got Sedley because the sillage isn't as overwhelming as, for example, Sauvage. Ideally, I only want people next to me to smell it in the office, not the whole floor :D

I sold my Sedley because of the mediocre sillage. The scent is very good, longevity is just okay, but the sillage is too weak for this price. Percival is also my favorite..

Percival is the shower gel of Marly for me, but that's not a bad thing. I still prefer Greenley and Sedley, though.

Well, the sillage of Sedley isn't nearly as strong as Percival's; for a Marly, it's just too weak overall. I managed to get one from 2020, and the longevity is good, but not Marly-like. The scent is nice for a freshie, that's true, but I prefer Percival among all freshies since it's not just a freshie and can be worn at any time.
