Castley by Parfums de Marly opens on a bright peppery citrus rush, more energy than sweetness. Bergamot and ginger lead, with black pepper adding real bite to the first minutes. Neroli and petitgrain take over next, green and citrus-led, while pink pepper keeps a little heat running through the middle. The base turns warm and slightly resinous: akigalawood, benzoin and labdanum, close to the skin rather than loud. Released in 2025, it suits both men and women who want citrus with some spine to it. Voters reach for it across spring and summer, almost always during the day. Wearers' longevity votes come out clearly on long-lasting, while sillage settles on moderate. Wear a 10ml decant across a few sunny weeks and see how often it becomes your default.

The community verdict
Castley starts with bergamot, black pepper and ginger, then dries down to akigalawood, benzoin and labdanum. Neroli and petitgrain sit between that bright opening and warmer base. Most find it long-lasting with moderate projection, making it a fit for spring days; summer works too.

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.
