"There are generally two things I ask of a fragrance before it earns a coveted space on my dresser: clarity of concept and basic social decency. Clarity, meaning that there's a sensory story I can follow from top to heart to baseI don't want to drown in an overpowering fog of vanilla or tobacco. And decency means the scent has staying power yet doesn't overwhelm every room I walk into. I want an olfactive experience I can almost feel, whether that's citrus that energizes, spice with a kinetic bite, or woods that transport."
"The Composition Is Unexpected, Yet Works With Carios, Parfums de Marly founder and creative director Julien Sprecher set out to achieve a rule-breaking and impression-making scent. The top notesbergamot, pink peppercorn, red mandarin, and saffronsnap like twisting citrus over a Negroni at a dimly lit cocktail bar. Next on the fragrance journey, the spice of black pepper is balanced by the freshness of geranium and red thyme. Finally, a base of cedarwood, ambroxan, vetiver, and roasted tonka bean leaves a warm and powerful wake."
Two criteria used to evaluate fragrances are clarity of concept and social decency. Les Extraits from Parfums de Marly are high-concentration extraits containing roughly 20–40% pure fragrance oil for extended wear and intensity. The line follows a fougère structure of bright top notes, aromatic heart, and grounded base, and includes three expressions: Eragon, Valero, and Carios. Carios opens juicy and fresh with bergamot, pink peppercorn, red mandarin, and saffron, moves to black pepper, geranium, and red thyme, and settles on cedarwood, ambroxan, vetiver, and roasted tonka bean for a warm, sharp finish.
