Carlisle by Parfums de Marly is a rich, sweet amber with apple on top and patchouli underneath. Green apple opens it crisp and tart, but saffron and nutmeg warm it up within minutes. The heart is plush: rose, osmanthus and fruity davana, all resting on creamy tonka bean. Patchouli, vanilla and opoponax make the base dense, balsamic and slightly earthy. It came out in 2015 and is mostly worn by men who like a scent with presence. Voters reserve it for autumn and winter, for evenings and late nights out. On longevity the vote leans long-lasting, and on sillage it leans strong, so spray lightly. Get a 3ml decant and wear it out a few times before you choose the bottle.

The community verdict
For someone drawn to dark, sweet spice, Carlisle mixes nutmeg, saffron and green apple before settling into patchouli and vanilla. The largest groups report long-lasting wear and strong projection; others report even longer wear or moderate projection. It suits autumn nights, with winter evenings also fitting; go lightly if sweetness feels heavy.

The house
More from Parfums de Marly
Parfums de Marly is a French niche house that Julien Sprecher started in 2009, who looked to the old royal court and the Château de Marly for its spirit. The style is polished and generous. Bergamot and mandarin open many of the scents, vanilla, sandalwood and musk carry the base, and cardamom, cinnamon or pink pepper add warmth. Valaya is soft and clean, a musky citrus for easy days. Delina is a fruity rose with a pink, bright mood. Layton mixes fresh and warm spice over woods, and Althaïr keeps things simple and woody.
