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.

Over the years I've gone back n forth with the PDM freshies -- trading or selling one for another. After some time I reacquired Sedley because I deem this the most superior PDM freshie. Initially I thought it was immature, almost Axe shower gel like. But Percival and Greenly win that award for being a teenager fragrance. A rich teenager. Greenly was too much shampoo and Percival was a 2000's era six pack douche kid with the A&F Fierce connotations. I wore Percival and my GF, who worked at Abercrombie back in the early 2000's, asked why the F was I wearing the Abercrombie fragrance as a 40 year old man? Sedley seems the most put together. Sparkling minty top. Musky finish. It's just right. Go with this one if you're trying to pick between one of the many PDM summer offerings.

My 👑 summer frag. Yes, it's the middle of winter. No, I don't care. I like to feel amazing, and that's exactly what wearing Sedley does. Every time I walk by that sexy ass bottle on my shelf I get the urge to drench myself in this stuff. Sedley just has so much more character compared to any of the ~10 designer citrus freshies I own and it's got alright performance to boot. It doesn't last as long as what I've become accustomed to with this house, but since it's a dedicated warm weather frag I'll give it a pass. Sedley definitely has that Parfums de Marly secret sauce, because it's laced with quality and uniqueness while being wearable asf. Criminally underrated. Maybe that's a good thing? More for me that way muahaha

The citrus , mint, and lavender together make for a stunning opening. One that is so pleasant it will have you searching for a bottle before the dry down. The main issue with this scent is its performance. It doesn't last more than 2.5 hours. I will admit that wearing it on a hot day in Phoenix had the fragrance creating a stunning silage. This is 100% a HOT weather fragrance, meaning if you wear this under 85 degrees it will not perform. It needs heat to radiate and project. Considering you can get a 4.2 for under $200 makes it more compelling, but there are better freshies that perform like Xerjoff Torino 21, Goldfield and Banks Bohemian lime, and even Dior Eau Savage or Dior Homme cologne

This smells like Sprite. Bright, citrusy, slightly fizzy, and very clean. It has a light, refreshing feel that works perfectly in the heat. It smells more refined than your typical designer fresh scent, which is where the niche quality comes in. It is simple, but it does not come off cheap or basic. This is best for hot days, being outside, and anytime you just want to stay fresh without wearing anything heavy. Perfect for daytime in Florida. Performance is decent, but you will need a few extra sprays. I get around 4 to 7 hours. This is not something that is going to grab attention, but it does exactly what you want it to do. Clean, easy, and refreshing. Rating: 8.5/10

I recently did a review of this on my Youtube "Rotten Rebel". Sedley is basically a bright, minty, spicy and woody blend with lavender and it’s so good.. I love how it starts out in an airy and bright way with the focus on citrus and then how it dries down into this sexy musky and woody blend with hints of citrus, lavender, and mint in it. It's fresh in a luxurious way. Mass appealing for sure. A compliment getter. And a scent that a lot of women find attractive and a scent that most people really enjoy. If you want a luxurious fresh perfume with a citrusy and minty top above a musky and creamy woodiness then this is for you! I Really, really enjoy Sedley!

generally speaking, this is a weak scent. Ive had my bottle for 6+ plus months now and its macerated. Now it can last 4 or so hours which is still not what you want from an expensive fragrance However i just love this scent profile ~6 sprays just gets me right for a few hours with this cologne. People say i just smell good. fresh light refreshing citrus is what you get here. Do no buy this expecting it to smell like a fizzy syrupy soda that is just not accurate Scent: 9/10 Longevity (5-8 sprays): 3-5 hours Projection: 7.5/10 This is a warm weather scent, the only scents that really need insane projections are those heavy vanillay cinnamony winter scents

I'm not a usual fan of fresh fragrances, I typically go for more Spicy/Tobacco fragrances however when I first smelled PDM Sedley in summer this year I knew I had to buy it. I find it hard to describe the scent but I've seen a lot of people describe it as an expensive Sprite, which I sort of agree with. This may sound like it's overwhelmingly sweet or citrusy but it's not. It's very subtle and smells delicious. I think this is a great office fragrance, with the prime time to wear it being in the hotter times of the year. The performance is ok, and silage is decent too. May be slightly overpriced but I would buy it again as I genuinely love it that much.

This gets hype, I didn’t expect to like it. But the sample I had was the deciding factor for me. After the 3rd wear I said yeah I need this. As someone that’s had many many designers and sold them. YSL Y EDP and BDC EDP were the “blue fragrances” that were at my top before I sold them and started getting more niche. It’s simple and clean perfect for an understated yet approachable and fresh “blue” fragrance that I much prefer to all the other designers I had. It’s not sickly sweet like Y EDP, and it’s not as common or muted as BDC EDP. Great stuff. Excited to wear the heck out of this bottle as my dumb reach in the warmer weather.

Sedley tem uma qualidade fantástica de nicho, como todos os perfumes de Parfum de Marly ! Sua abertura cítrica maravilhosa e sua secagem voltada para as notas de base como Cedro, Ambroxan, Vetiver e Sândalo, que o deixam extremamente elegante e confortável, fazem desta fragrância uma jóia olfativa que agrada homens e mulheres com facilidade. Sedley é versátil, azul, fouger, fazendo dele um perfume moderno ! Pode ser caro, mas é muito Bommmm !!! Vantagem: Pode usar onde e quando quiser, pois TODOS vão adorar seu aroma ! Fragrância: 10/10 Versatilidade: 10/10 Projeção: 7/10 Fixação: 8/10 NOTA FINAL: 9/10

Sedley is a refreshing citrus-based scent that actually lasts. It opens with an accord that reminds me of Sprite soda - bubbly/carbonated citrus with a small hint of mint in the background. After 30 minutes, this fades into a beautiful, smooth accord that reminds me of Tide laundry detergent. It sounds weird but it actually is really nice and I like it a lot. Must be the lavender. On me, it easily lasts 7-8 hours before it turns into a skin scent where all I can smell is a hint of cedar and sandalwood. Beautiful stuff and really good performance for a freshie. Perfect for spring and summer.

Opening is true to the notes listed--Citrus, lavender and mint. Ambroxan/ambery-musk is there right away, too. Pleasant, I can see why people like this one. Woods quickly start to come out in the dry down. Leaning toward subtle in a good way, NOT in-your-face demanding it be smelled with a massive synthetic cloud/sillage emanating from you. An almost-peppery-ness is starting to come out? The sandalwood is very nice, good vetiver. Subtle florals. I really like it so far...unsure about how long it will last, though...worried about staying power. A strong like, maybe not a love.

Easy blind buy. An amazing scent, and hands down the best citrusy/aromatic cologne that I have ever smelled. The best part about the fragrance is that it truly pops in the Spring and Summer time; something about the warm weather makes it so much better. It has an above average performance (diminishes to a skin scent after around 6 hours on my skin) and the sillage is slightly above average. Is it worth the retail price tag? Probably not---no fragrance really is. But practically nobody on this website buys retail anyways, so yes it is worth it if you buy from a discounter.

Amazing scent. Pricey for sure, but I get more compliments on Sedley than the majority of my spring/summer scents. Smells niche to my nose and is worth the cost. The aromatics are killer, hence the Sprite soda comparisons you see in reviews. PDM is one of my favorite brands - Sedley, Percival and Greenley are all so good for warmer weather. I was able to get samples of Sedley and it is now one of favorites to give to friends who aren’t in this community. Cool to see the reactions from them and their wives.

The batch variations w/ Sedley are all over the place. Original (best) was an addictive light literal sprite aroma w/ an airy iso-e/ cashmere dry down. Another batch was very strong & soapy. Another was off smelling synthetic. This last batch I sampled from was extremely musky/ rosemary-peppery. They all still Have that sprite scent within, but different aspects shine over that depending on the batch. I wish they never would’ve tampered with what was already perfect.

In my opinion, Sedley is close to a masterpiece! It's like enjoying a chilled glass of lemon & mint water while sat in a country club. It opens up so fresh and citrusy and then smooths out into the lavender and woods, while keeping that fresh feeling. It would work well for an office meeting, a date night, or just hanging out with old friends. To me, it is timeless, and it has an amazing, clean masculine vibe that keeps me coming back for more! 🥂

Talk about a fragrance that puts you in a great mood. This a versatile, all season, everyday driver, that works in any scenario you can think about. Fresh, bright, and a compliment magnet. I would say for the type of perfume, it's performance is good. 6 sprays and I'm good for an 9 hour day at the office. I can't get enough of this stuff. Sedley is deadly! Deducting a point for the price, but everything else is excellent. Rating: 9/10.

Banger! I personally love this one. It's everything you could want from a freshy plus more. It's refreshing, invigorating, and versatile. The green notes lends this one a year round quality in my opinion. Moderate projection and longevity. My wife won't let me wear it unless I'm with her😂. 10/10 for me. (Because of the price don't blind buy on my recommendation, please try anything before committing to a full bottle)

It's a great Cologne to wear in the summer, love the smell, it legit smells like Sprite/ Fresh shower, and the main issue I would say would be the price because I used to have a cologne that smelled similar, if not exact, and its blue for men - Rasasi and this cologne and Sedley smell identical if not exact, and they so if you got the money go for Sedley if not just buy blue for men and trust me it smells the same

This is an absolutely great summer fragrance. I've had friends from 5 feet away compliment me, even though I didn't spray too much. Smells like a nice ocean sprite with some lemon or lime to me, I'm not sure. Either way, this is great. Forewarning on a mistake I made, I purchased Oceania without smelling it first. Always test fragrances because as much as I love Oceania and Sedley, they smell so similar to me.

Love this fragrance, better than greenley which I also like. Yes price is steep but I think if you like the fragrance it's justified. That being said if you want a high quality clone at 1/3rd the price I would definitely recommend Blue Stallion by alexandria. Besides that recommendation, I think Sedley is a great fragrance that gets tons of positive reactions from those around you. Best for spring and summer.

Recently bought for me by my beautiful girlfriend of now 4 years (guys date a polish woman they're the best), and I love it. If a fragrance could smell alive, it would be this. Fizzy, poppy, fresh, tangy and a smooth dry down, with a decent projection especially in the heat. Slightly overpriced maybe, and simple for a niche brand, but it's easier to forgive that when the scent is so addicting.

I can't describe how happy I was with this one when I first smelled this. I went to the mall on a whim and got my nose on this one finally and WOAH! When people say this one smells like a fresh sprite on the initial spray, they were not lying and its ETHERAL. It dries down to a BDC like woodiness after a few minutes and I honesty want a 75ml bottle of this one.

For all the people complaining on Sedley, I’m currently living in the Caribbean , and I can tell you this is 100% a PDM approaching for the tropical humid environment. Awesome performance and durability under sun and sweat. Maybe they’re thinking in Panamá, Thailand or Bahamas when did this. If you wanna something fresh for all weathers, try Percival or Kalan.

If the feeling you have, when you use a strong mint mouthwash could be captured into a fragrance, this is what you would get. Not quite sure how PDM get away with charging so much for their fragrances but if this was half the price at retail, it would be a no brainer for hot / summery weather. It is delightfully fresh, just horrifically overpriced.

If you could wear pride as a fragrance , this is the fragrance. My favorite summer fragrance I’ve ever smelt but the price is where it starts to fall. $450+ for a bottle at Nordstrom is just unacceptable for this type of fragrance. I don’t want to buy a dupe but I want to buy something that smells like this for an actually reasonable price

The most masculine manly man scent to have ever been created. Beautiful mint and citrus freshness, slowly developing into a deeper woodiness. Very rarely does a fragrance make me feel the way I do about this one. Since I smelled it the first time, it's been a dream to own it. To sum this one up in one word.. Sophistication. 10/10 for me.

I think I need to get this. Keep going back to sample, but never buy, always opting for something more "exotic". The thing is there is something unexciting about this, but it's the perfect gentlemanly summer scent you need and it's right under your nose. Unfortunately it took me blind buying Gusto Limone to finally realise it.

One of my favorite scents of all time. Such a fantastic fresh sparkling musky fragrance that, for me, lasts days on fabric. Projection and lasting power on skin is moderate to moderate-high though I do have a “pre reform” bottle. Pretty blind but safe and compliment magnet. Wear it 3 out of 4 seasons, perfect signature scent!

I used to have a 2009 batch of CH 212 NYC Men, and this smells very similar to it. It’s like a less grassy version. A very citrus forward and refreshing scent. It’s almost impossible not to like. In my opinion, it’s safe for a blind buy, but of course, trying it first is always best. Overall, a very successful fragrance.

people say that this smells like sprite, i really don’t get that but maybe i’m not drinking enough sprite that aside this is a great fresh fragrance, tough to justify the price point tbh but is easy to reach for and is well above most fresh frags on the market. i do recommend it for sure but try to find it on discount

My third PDM, I got Layton and Herod. The opening is crisp and lemony with some herbal vibes to it, in a good way tho. Projects decently and a crowd pleaser for sure. Smells like a luxurious barbershop aftershave. I like it alot, but also understand why people call it "designer-like" for a niche pricepoint.

Sedley is the first niche cologne I own. I bought a bottle the week after smelling this at Bloomingdales in April. I mainly smell fresh lemon lime mint. Yes, it does smell like sprite but more natural and not sweet. I heard an influencer compare the scent to diet sprite. Perfect for summer or hot daytime.

Literally smells like the "taste/flavor" of Sprite. Shines in summer and under the heat. I overspray it a lot as I love smelling and getting whiffs of it, gives off this "refreshing, thirst quenching" vibe due to the mint + citrus combination. Projects and lasts moderately, around 4hrs. Safe to overspray.

The initial scent is refreshing, reminiscent of Sprite, transitioning into a soapy, ozonic fragrance with hints of green Irish tweed notes. I find this to be a very enjoyable scent and appreciate it. Additionally, it's suitable for a variety of occasions, making it a versatile option.

Magical twist on a citrus aromatic. Truly magical. I let my daughter smell this and she immediately made me take her back to the store so she could smell it. I was on the fence on buying a bottle of this or castley but ai think my daughter made up my mind for me.

This is a very refreshing and clean citrusy lemon lime scent. This is in combination with some masculine woody and musky notes. Great pick for the summer if you can find it for a good price. Not my favorite freshie ever but I wear it fairly often.

An amazing fragrance for hot weather, projects great, and lasts 5-6 hours on skin. The scent profile is not out of this world and wont blow your mind. It’s a beautiful citrusy fragrance that has been my most worn pdm and will rebuy once finished.

Reviews are wrong, just like most reviews for pdm. This is pdms best frag imo. Im a gourmand and even i can recognize the masterpiece this frag is. soapy, fresh, citrusy, what is there to complain about? lasts forever and projects well. 10/10

one of the best freshies of all time just wish it had better performance for the price. def can somewhat get the sprite vibe but its more like a minty shower gel type. absolutely drained my bottle but too expensive to get another sadly

I need something exactly this, but way less exorbitant. It has a very striking and intimate scent, though getting it to stick around is a struggle, and time = money, especially when you're charging what this fragrance is asking.

I have every single PdM's and when I say all I mean all even the ones that were discontuined going as far back as 2010. Sedley is one of my favorites. Fresh clean good for high heat, And good longevity.I have all 26 bottles

Had a decant. Really enjoyed this for the summer. Opens with grapefruit, lemons and little lavender. The immediately the lavender plus sandalwood in the heart. Ends with ambroxan like dylan blue. Very nice freshie. 8/10

You'll understand what people mean by Mcdonalds sprite when u smell this. Its a citrus soapy fresh which i really like, this is a staple in my collection for sure, also performance is good considering its a freshie.

Sexy, addictive, intoxicating, fresh, crisp – these are the words that come to my mind when I smell this perfume. I think it's a masterpiece, and an elegant one at that, that's somehow both modern and classy.

Best fresh out of the shower scent. Opening is a sparkling refreshing sprite and after alongside the dry down it’s a luxury hand soap vibe, beats imagination soap status by a mile. Great summer scent.
