Quality control in perfumery: how fragrances are tested

In 2015, Parfums de Marly introduced Carlisle — a fragrance that's hard to forget. A unisex fragrance belonging to the east, floral, and spicy families. Inspiration and execution — all of it is Quentin Bisch. Created within the Royal Essence collection and available in eau de parfum.
Brand country — France: a place that truly knows its way around a great scent. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The note pyramid of Carlisle is built as a living composition, where layers reveal themselves with precision and warmth. The creative approach of Parfums de Marly is recognizable in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Nothing here feels random, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de parfum supports the depth and body this composition needs.
At olfactory-group level the structure relies on Fruit, Spicy, Floral and Wood. The framework further includes Gourmet and Whiteflower. From a family perspective the scent maps to East, Floral and Spicy.
From the first breath you meet sweet-fresh fruity top notes: Green Apple and Nutmeg.
In the middle phase you notice Rose and Tonka bean holding a velvety rose-iris direction.
The accord profile rests on these accords: Gourmet, Floral, Fruit and Wood without random overlap. Secondary accord layers such as Spicy enrich the profile without taking over. The stylistic positioning is unisex, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
In summary Carlisle reads as a cohesive composition — the start forms character, the central phase adds depth, and the base secures the trail. These are the fragrances best experienced on skin.
