Parfums de Marly Cassili by Olya Bar©
#Perfumetiktok has a current obsession with 2017’s Delina, but there exists an unsung gem within the collection…Parfums de Marly Cassili (co-created by the legendary perfumer Calice Becker). During a recent chat with Michelyn, we both agreed that Cassili captures the essence of a stunning fruity chypre, and wondered why this beauty is under the radar. This is a scent that dances on the skin like a scoop of mouthwatering sorbet, enticing the senses with its harmonious symphony of notes and deserves much more attention. Let’s dive right in.

.Every fragrance tells a story; this hidden treasure from Parfums de Marly is no exception. Imagine standing on a pristine shoreline, the soft sand beneath your feet, and a gentle sea breeze caressing your skin. Your eyes are feasting on the idyllic scene of a coastal retreat, where the tranquil melody of ocean waves meets the luscious aromas of ripe peaches (a total ghost accord) which is plum with a buttery texture of ylang-ylang. It is an olfactory homage to those fleeting moments of sheer delight that linger in memory, forever evoking a sense of blissful escape.

Upon the first delicate spritz, the fragrance unfolds like a vibrant overture, opening with the effervescent notes of tart red currants, which create a zingy pulpiness, followed by overripe plums. Juicy and succulent, these fruity accords encapsulate the essence of summer’s bounty, creating an aura of joy and vivacity. The scent journey then gracefully transitions, as if the sun-kissed peach orchards blend seamlessly into the salty embrace of the frangipani and fleshy plumeria blooms, kissed by the ocean air. The vanilla and sandalwood notes add a creamy sweetness, like a dollop of velvety sorbet topped with toasted tonka beans. At the heart of Parfums de Marly Cassili lies a harmonious duet between mimosa and petalia©, which brings forth its rich, and exotic character, lending a luscious depth to the scent. Its inclusion is akin to a soft, luxurious fabric that envelops the wearer in sophistication and allure. Complementing ylang-ylang’s opulence is the delicate interplay of salty frangipani.

As the fragrance settles on the skin, the sorbet-like opening notes evolve into a soft, lingering trail of a fruity chypre, finally showing its true colors. Parfums de Marly Cassili is the interplay between nature’s bounty and human artistry. A true unsung perfume gem in the collection, if you ask us. Worth every spritz.
