What a lovely fragrance. Marly isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel but rather elevate the use of the classics. Here, the rose-oud blend, though not new, is executed so well that it feels unique. The quality is evident: it smells of real rose, not synthetic, as if you were holding the petals on a hot day after the rain. It’s versatile, works in any weather (unless you overdo it in summer), and with the heat, it transforms for the better, seeming different than in the cold. Totally unisex, ideal for formal, casual, or simply treating yourself. Marly has many such jewels, sometimes eclipsed by its beasts (which are also top-tier). Beware of the sprays: the scent is subtle but lasts over 12 hours, even a full day in the heat. It leaves a trail. Scent 10/10, Versatility 9/10, Longevity 10/10, Projection 10/10. Blind buy? Never with luxury perfumes.

What can I say about this scent objectively? It arrived yesterday and I still can’t put down its bottle. It smells absolutely divine. According to the accords, the floral and oud notes are perfectly balanced; the rose doesn’t dominate, it’s subtle and elegant. The oud reminds me of Acqua di Parma, but two rungs down the ladder. To give you an idea, it has the same aura as Jubilation XXV, though it’s not the same fragrance: this one is less complex but beautiful. While Jubilation XXV smells of dry grass, this is more aromatic, with that same sensual, discreet trail that exudes class, stature and opulence. Highly recommended. It’s not your typical rose and oud; it’s far more subtle, nothing like Venigia by Merchant of Venice or Lyric Man by Amouage, where the rose is the star. Here, the feast is the whole plate. Scent 10/10, Sillage 9.5/10, Longevity 9/10. Cheers and I hope they give this little gem a second look.
