Greenley Parfums de Marly 2020

It was a sunny day. I had the day off. Totally euphoric by the temperatures and the sun, I strolled into the kitchen and noticed that I had forgotten to buy coffee.
So I drove to Rewe and bought espresso and lungo.
Comfortably I sat there in the sun and thought it's time for a review for Greenley.

So, as you can tell, my opening doesn't have much to do with the scent. I just wanted to tell you about the feeling of missing coffee in the morning :)

Now that I have your full attention, I want to share with you my experience with PdM's Hulk aka. Grinch aka. Green Lantern aka. Green Apple aka. Greenley.
As a loyal follower of fresh scents, I've become quite a bit more discerning over time. Means: there are now max. 3-4 fresh fragrances that currently convince me.
THOUGH: The balance between too weak and too annoying / pungent to master, is from my point of view an art in itself.
Creed's egg-cellent "Aventus" is still hard to top in my eyes (though not a newbie). Whether 2009 or 21 batch.

So fresh = mainstream ? Clear No. It's all about the uniqueness of a niche fragrance. In fact, it's harder for a fresh fragrance to earn the title of niche than a heavy oud fragrance, for example.

Is Greenley now niche or "mainstream green"?
It's a little mainstream, a little designer, but also a little niche.
For that, we'll have to rewind briefly....also Rewind...
