Today, I wanna talk about this fragrance I’ve been trying out – Greenley by Parfums de Marly. You know, I’ve always been into these fresh, kinda fruity scents, and I heard some good things about this one, so I thought, why not give it a shot?
First off, I ordered a sample online. I mean, you never wanna go all in on a full bottle without knowing if you really like it, right? So, I got this little sample vial and waited, I waited for it arrived. When it finally came, the first thing I noticed was the color. It’s this vibrant green, which I guess makes sense given the name.
Anyway, I sprayed a bit on my wrist, and boom – the first whiff I got was this super strong green apple smell. It’s really sour, but not in a bad way. It’s like, imagine biting into a crisp, tart apple. That’s the vibe. And then, as it settled, I started to pick up on these other notes. There’s definitely some woodiness in there, and a bit of a musky, powdery thing going on. It’s like, the apple is the star of the show, but there’s a whole supporting cast of scents making it more complex.
- Spray it on my wrist, get the green apple smell.
- Notice the woody and musky notes after a while.
- Think it smells like a walk in a forest.
I wore it out a few times, and I gotta say, it lasts a pretty long time. I remember one day I put it on in the morning, and even after like six hours, I could still smell it. It was a hot day too, almost 90 degrees here, and it held up like a champ. I got a few people telling me I smelled good, so that’s always a plus. And someone even said I smelled like a forest which is interesting.
Honestly, I feel like this is one of those scents that can work any time of year. It’s fresh enough for summer, but there’s also something kinda cozy about it that would work in the fall or winter. Like, it’s versatile, you know?
But here’s the thing. As much as I enjoy Greenley, I’m not sure I’m ready to commit to a full bottle. I feel like I need to explore other brands like Creed or Roja, just to see what else is out there. Maybe I’ll come back to it, maybe I won’t. But for now, I’m just gonna enjoy this little sample and keep trying new things.
My Final Thought
So yeah, that’s my experience with Greenley by Parfums de Marly. It’s a solid fragrance, especially if you’re into that fresh, green apple vibe. But fragrance is so personal, right? What works for me might not work for you, and vice versa. So, if you’re curious, I’d say grab a sample and give it a try. Who knows, you might just find your new favorite scent!
