Darcy

Parfums de Marly Darcy is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014. Darcy opens with Citrus, Lemon, and Orange, settles into a heart of Rose and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Woody, Cotton Candy, Patchouli, and Musk. Parfums de Marly's Darcy carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

A divisive scent that tries to play it both ways, Darcy splits opinions with its strong resemblance to Coco Mademoiselle. Some call it an overpriced, watered-down copy, but others find it a creamier, more sophisticated take on the classic fruitchouli profile.

While the citrus gives it a fresh start, Darcy's deeper, musky sweet and patchouli base makes it less ideal for the office. It hits its stride in cooler weather date nights or more formal events, with many noting its 'grown-up' and 'expensive' feel despite some performance complaints.

About

Darcy opens with a punch of bright, juicy citrus, invigorating the senses before settling into a heart of delicate rose and heady jasmine. The dry-down wraps you in a comforting embrace of warm, earthy patchouli, tempered by a creamy, almost gourmand sweetness with hints of cotton candy and a soft, lingering musk.
