About Parfums De Marly Sedley EDP
Parfums De Marly is the house behind Sedley EDP. It comes as Eau de Parfum.
Sedley price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €133. That puts it on the expensive side. It costs more than Versace Eros and Guy Laroche Drakkar Noir but less than Creed Viking Cologne.
Sillage and projection
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Versace Eros spreads further.
Sedley longevity
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last.
