Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Greenley EDP
PDM Greenley is a fresh, woody powerhouse that’s either a masterclass in green apple sophistication or a very expensive shower gel - there's no in-between. Its divisive nature makes it a love-it-or-hate-it scent, but for those who get it, it's a versatile, long-lasting green dream.

Our Verdict - Green Envy Extrait
Green Envy tracks Parfums de Marly's Greenley note for note - green apple, bergamot, cashmeran, oakmoss, amberwood - but the crisp, sour-apple tartness that makes Greenley distinctive comes across sweeter and more generic here.

Office

Its fresh and clean profile, combined with good longevity and moderate projection, makes it highly suitable for casual wear and invigorating sport activities. It's too distinctive and potentially divisive for very formal settings, but its modern appeal works well for dates, and it's generally inoffensive enough for an office, provided applied lightly.
