The story behind the bottle.
Castley by Parfums de Marly is a bold composition that marries the freshness of citrus with the warmth of spices. Launched in 2025, this fragrance opens with bergamot and grapefruit, creating an invigorating top note that cuts through with bright energy. As it develops, ginger and black pepper add a sharp edge, while the heart notes of neroli and petitgrain soften the intensity with floral undertones. The base notes of oud, akigalawood, benzoin, and leather bring a rich warmth, grounding the fragrance in deep, smoky notes that linger long after the initial burst.
Castley’s bright top notes fade quickly, so aim for two sprays to ensure the warm base notes have time to develop. It pairs well with layered clothing in cooler weather, allowing the fragrance to build gradually as you move through your day.
