In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Castley by Parfums de Marly is a crisp citrus aromatic fragrance centered on zesty bergamot, fresh ginger, and modern woody minerals. The first spray releases a brisk burst of tart grapefruit and sharp black pepper that quickly energizes the senses. Within twenty minutes, the opening bite softens into green petitgrain…

Reviews →

Fall From Grace by Scopoli is a unisex fragrance that balances sharp petitgrain with a spicy floral heart of rose and cardamom. It settles into a warm base of tolu balsam and sandalwood, creating a versatile scent that works well for office wear or evening events throughout the year, except during the height of summer.
