Parfums de Marly
Oriana EDP
“Blackcurrant jam and dark roses at a winter gala.”
Hamid Merati-Kashani's 2021 launch for Parfums de Marly — PDM's modern fruity-floral-gourmand feminine, positioned alongside Delina. A sweet citrus-fruity-gourmand feminine with mandarin, bergamot, and grapefruit at the top, an orange blossom-raspberry-black currant heart, and a marshmallow-whipped cream-musk-vanilla base. Performs strongest in spring and fall, day-or-evening, 8-9 hours with strong projection.
The take
What works
- ●Dark-fruited rose flanked by praline — luxuriously gourmand without being cloying
- ●Excellent projection and longevity for cool-season evenings
- ●Whipped Cream-musk accord is genuinely distinctive in the niche space
Trade-offs
- ●Too rich and boozy for warm weather or daytime use
- ●Whipped Cream base may read as heavy to minimalist fragrance fans
