Parfums De Marly Darley EDP in detail
Darley EDP comes from Parfums De Marly. This one is the Eau de Parfum.
How far it spreads
Its sillage is medium. People near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Edt 1 and Frederic Malle Editions De Parfums Frederic Malle Musc Ravageur spread further.
Darley price per bottle size
In Europe it costs about €152, depending on the bottle size and the shop. That puts it on the expensive side. It costs more than Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Edt 1 and Mont Blanc Individuel.
Its style
The strongest accord is aromatic (100%), followed by woody and gourmand. You will probably like it if you enjoy aromatic and woody smells and notes like lavender and tonka bean. Less obvious notes include Amalfi lemon, african orange flower and amber. Perfume fans rate it 4.09 out of 5.
How long it lasts
This is a long lasting scent: expect about 6 to 9 hours on skin. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. It lasts about as long as Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Edt 1 and Mont Blanc Individuel. Base notes like tonka bean and sandalwood are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Darley for work or evenings
This is more of a daytime scent that suits the office and everyday wear. Its aromatic side keeps it clean and easy. For evenings, Frederic Malle Editions De Parfums Frederic Malle Musc Ravageur has more depth.
