Sedley

This was a pretty risky purchase for me as i blind bought it at 125ml since an extremely good deal was offered to me by my supplier. Another reason why it was a risky purchase was because Jeremy recommended it lol. But we have to give it to the man (Jeremy) - although the dude regularly recommends extremely mainstream fragrances, when he says they lasts and gets compliments, they really do. I was pretty terrified of Sedley when i first got it due to many of the comments here regarding it's longevity and sillage. I have no idea what you guys are smoking but Sedley lasts the entire day for me and more. Projection might be a little weak at 4-5 hours but i have a feeling some of you guys are confusing projection for longevity - a fragrance is still there even if it has stopped projecting, and it's longevity only runs it's due course when you smash your face against your clothes and can no longer smell it. Sedley for me has a longevity of 12 hours easily, with 4-5 hours of projection as mentioned above. I live in a tropical country and work in a climate-controlled environment all day. This smells like a niche designer fresh scent to me, and after several wearings i can now appreciate it for what it is - this is an extremely well composed fresh scents which is beautifully blended into several layers. The first few times i tried it all i could detect was lemon lol. Some of you fragheads seem to think that niche houses should only make exotic or oud based fragrances, and any fresh scents are shamelessly flamed by you guys as designer and main stream. Sedley is what Roja Elysium should have been - it smells fresh, it smells expensive, and i would glady pay Elysium's price for Sedley.

Moschino Uomo, the holy liquid substance, it was made with the first molecules created after the Big Bang and it gave me so many thirsty lady compliments you can write 16 books with 900 pages But those Moschino creeps reformulated it because they knew men who wore this godly creation were just too powerful compared to the regular nobodies who wear clones of Aventus I was sad for many years, searching for a Moschino Uomo replacement 26 hours per day did not grant me results Then I bought a blue glass bottle fragrance with 2 horses on it because the weight of the cap is equal to 2 ponies It was called Sedley, my hand was shaking for some special reason while holding the bottle and I knew I did not use any cocaine that day This perfume was felt to be special so I pressed the silver button at the top and a wet slap of drops was applied to my body Suddenly an AP watch appeared around my wrist, my chest grew the most curly fluffy men hair ever felt by a woman, 8 inches were donated to my height and a portal was opened where 2 guys gave me 50 tons of gold bars The lost Moschino Uomo was reborn, by the same Perfumer, I was so happy I didnt say that Arsenal wasnt the worst football club that day Till this day with moderate 80 sprays of Sedley on the surface of my skin, my life is filled with joy and happiness with a mix of Morphine here and there Thank you Parfums De Marly for this luxurious shower gel, because now my life is finally as spectacular as before !

Parfums De Marly Sedley opens with a fresh, sparkling citrus profile that reads like a lemon-lime soda accord, combining a crisp but not sharp citrus with a slightly herbal minty green edge that feels airy, effervescent, smooth, and refined rather than harsh or soapy, with an early peppery nuance beginning to emerge. As it moves into the mid, the fizzy citrus recedes into the background and loses its effervescence while a strong peppery, slightly herbal and still somewhat fizzy-clean ambroxan-driven character takes over, supported by lingering greenery and a faint fruity backdrop, gradually becoming less airy and more dense as the hours progress, with the fizzy quality diminishing and a subtle woody facet emerging. Into the drydown, the scent continues this same progression with the peppery ambroxan remaining prominent while soft woods become more noticeable, creating a denser, more grounded profile before eventually settling into a skin scent by Hour 6. It is nice and high quality. I enjoyed the opening and the mid and Drydown was nice with the ambroxan. The ambroxan gave it staying power while still incorporating the opening and mid notes well. The opening itself was so good and unique that i can forgive the linear late mid to Drydown. Minus .5 points for the price value 8.5/10

This is a happy fragrance for me. It reminds me of warm summer days whenever I was a kid! Its a mood booster and makes me feel a couple degrees cooler whenever I wear it. As for the scent profile, I mainly get the mint, lemon/grapefruit, lavender, a tiny hint of rosemary, and a pretty big dose of ambroxan. Everything used smells like high grade synthetics to me, giving it a effervescent feel. It also reminds me of some kind of laundry beads my mom used whenever I was little. On scent alone, this would be a 10 for me. Longevity is good for a freshie, being around 7 hours. Is this worth it for someone who would daily Sedley and only Sedley? Maybe not, $210 on discounters is very steep for the average consumer. For me, it is worth every penny as I'll mainly wear this during the summer and early fall. Take this review with a pinch of salt, as I am biased towards fresh fragrances and I typically like most PDM fragrances. But, if youre looking for a fresh fragrance with decent performance, Sedley is definitely worth trying!

Sedley is a fizzy blast of citrus and clean woods, bright and sharp at the top, almost sparkling like soda water. It sits perfectly for office wear, easygoing and safe but never boring, the kind of fragrance that makes you feel crisp without trying too hard. For a freshie it lasts far longer than expected, and it projects well enough to be noticed without being the guy everyone side-eyes in the lift. The bottle is a chunky slab of faux luxury, heavy in the hand, but not exactly groundbreaking in design. It looks nice enough on a shelf, if you can stomach paying for the privilege. And that’s the problem. PDM seem to believe citrus and ambroxan are spun from solid gold, because the price is nothing short of lunacy. At £110 for 100ml I would happily buy a bottle, but until they pull their heads out their ass and stop charging rent money for lemon water, they’ll never see a penny from me.
