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 - Verdant EDP
Verdant follows Parfums de Marly Greenley's crisp green-apple citrus-woody. The tart apple-and-bergamot opening over cashmeran and clean woods reads true to the brief, but as a budget dupe it lands flatter and lighter than the niche original.

Season and Occasion Fit

Greenley

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Sport
Also Works:
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.

Verdant

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The tart green apple, citrus and airy woods are bright, breezy notes built for spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
