Parfums de Marly Greenley is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Nathalie Templer. Greenley opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, and Apple, settles into a heart of Pomarose, Petitgrain, Cedar, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Musk, Patchouli, Oakmoss, and Amberwood. Parfums de Marly's Greenley carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

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.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Best 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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Greenley opens with a vibrant, zesty burst of green apple, bright bergamot, and sweet mandarin. This crisp citrus-fruit blend quickly intertwines with a heart of floral violet, fresh petitgrain, and smooth cashmeran, underpinned by robust cedarwood. As it settles, a base of earthy patchouli and rich oakmoss emerges, warmed by musk and amberwood, creating a sophisticated woody-green drydown with a playful fruity edge.
