$12.99

Bergamot and Black Pepper over a akigalawood base.

Bergamot and Akigalawood for year-round wear.

The Scent

Parfums de Marly Castley Decant (Sample) opens bold and smoky, leading with Bergamot, Black Pepper and Ginger for its first impression on the skin. It softens into a heart of Pepper, Neroli and Petitgrain, the character that carries it through the middle hours. It rests on a base of Akigalawood, Labdanum and Benzoin, the lingering trail it leaves behind.
