The Scent

Green apple opens tart against nutmeg and saffron, a sweet-spiced top that sets the tone early. Tonka bean, rose, osmanthus, and davana build a dense, honeyed middle, floral but not delicate, more like fruit left to sit in spice. Vanilla, patchouli, and opoponax carry it into a plush, resinous base that lingers for hours. Commanding and rich rather than quiet, Carlisle wears best in cold weather and on nights you want to be remembered.

Worth Knowing

Carlisle skews sweeter and more resinous than most of Parfums de Marly’s spiced orientals, closer in spirit to a gourmand than the house’s leaner leather-and-wood releases. Its perfumer isn’t publicly credited, which is typical for the brand’s in-house work.

Where It Came From

Released in 2015, Carlisle has held on as one of Parfums de Marly’s steadier sellers in the men’s/unisex spiced-oriental space.

About Parfums de Marly

Julien Sprecher founded Parfums de Marly in 2009, drawing on his family's deep roots in the perfume industry and his own fascination with 18th century France. The name comes from Château de Marly, a retreat built for King Louis XIV; the brand celebrates the 18th-century court of Louis XV, famous for its love of fragrance. The brand's logo features the Chevaux de Marly, the famous horse sculptures from the chateau grounds, tying the whole collection back to that era of French elegance.
