Cannot deny its greatness
Tried and true, this fragrance has been the backbone of many unbearably warm days and is simply a stunner. While its DNA is not ground breaking nor is its style pushing any boundaries, it stands confidently on its own within this genre through having its own identity. Olivier Cresp has created a wonderful, long lasting for its class, and highly versatile fragrance.
The rationale behind the title is that I received a sample and a decant of this fragrance long ago and I really liked it initially but never sprung for a bottle as I had sights on other fragrances at the time. In that time thereafter, I purchased other fragrances but always found myself craving Sedley and finding numerous situations to use it. I was attracted to using the scent on scorching hot days, a casual meet-up with friends, dates, and excursions. No matter what, especially in the heat, it shined. When given heat and summer type weather, it truly stretches its legs and fully develops. It just always at the back of my mind and hence, once I found a good deal I could not pass up grabbing a bottle for myself.
It is both fresh and transparent, whilst simultaneously being very present and enveloping in an airy manner. Spearmint, citruses, and a soft base of ambroxan, clear woods, and cashmeran create an scent that is invigorating, refreshing, and inviting. As alluded to above, my experience is with a 2020 batch and my performance has been very good for a fresh fragrance. It is not a beast, but relative to what it is offering I would argue that is it above average within this category of olfactive profiles.
A great strength of Sedley is its flexibility of character, it can be sporty, casual chic, or outgoing. Although it is better suited to more casual situations, that is where I find it shines best.
Parfums de Marly have been said that they are weak in creating fresh fragrances and that their strength is in their winter offerings. I simply offer the counterargument of Sedley and ask others to consider their creation. Simplicity done right.
You cannot deny the smile that this puts on your face.
