Parfums de Marly Darcy is a citrus-fresh perfume with a floral, sweet body and a faintly powdery feel, read as feminine and leaning towards spring and fall.
Skunky's take: Freshness leads the way and cools the head.

WoodyWhat does Darcy smell like?
It opens fresh and fruity with orange, bergamot and citrus notes. Jasmine and rose bring the floral heart forward. In the base, white musk, praliné and patchouli sweeten the scent and settle it onto a lightly woody, powdery ground.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and spring, and it suits leisure time, nights out and evenings. Most voters also call its character feminine. Harry Lehmann Sucre and Honoré Payan Always have a close profile.
