Smells Like โ€” Like a tuberose and jasmine bouquet resting on a church pew with amber incense drifting by

Parfums de Marly Sedbury is a 2015 women's Eau de Parfum that combines the heady beauty of tuberose with aromatic lavender and warm amber in an unexpected and captivating way. Named in the tradition of Parfums de Marly's equestrian heritage, this fragrance is bold, feminine, and surprisingly complex, refusing to be placed in any single category.

The opening features clary sage, lavender, tangerine, and bergamot. Lavender brings its herbal, slightly sweet calm, which is unusual in a women's fragrance and immediately sets Sedbury apart.

Clary sage adds a dry, slightly musky herbal quality. Tangerine and bergamot provide citrus brightness and warmth.

This aromatic opening is unexpected and intriguing for a feminine scent. The heart is where Sedbury reveals its true nature with tuberose, jasmine, and iris.

Tuberose dominates with its rich, creamy, almost buttery white floral intensity that is one of the most powerful scents in all of perfumery. Jasmine adds its own creamy, intoxicating beauty.

Iris contributes a cool, powdery sophistication. The contrast between the aromatic opening and this opulent floral heart is what makes Sedbury so compelling.

The base of benzoin, vanilla, ambergris, vetiver, and patchouli creates a warm, ambery, slightly animalic foundation. Benzoin provides warm, balsamic sweetness.

Vanilla adds creamy comfort. Ambergris contributes a warm, salty depth.

Vetiver and patchouli bring earthy, woody grounding. Sedbury is best suited for fall and winter evenings, perfect for special occasions, date nights, and events where you want to make a memorable impression.

It is a fragrance that rewards the adventurous woman who wants something truly different.
