Parfums de Marly 2014 EDP
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 Notes, Musk, Patchouli, and Cotton Candy. Parfums de Marly's Darcy carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-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.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Best Occasions
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.
