A radiant woody amber with a sunlit freshness, Carlisle opens in a vivid rush of crisp green apple, warming nutmeg, and golden saffron before unfolding to an elegant heart of rose, tonka bean, osmanthus, and davana. It settles into opulent vanilla and patchouli woven with resinous opoponax, all wrapped around a warmly glowing sandalwood aura that feels regal yet modern on skin.

Story and Positioning
Within Parfums de Marly’s Thoroughbreds, Carlisle is presented as a daring and luminous trail that glorifies sandalwood while balancing spice, fruit, and balsamic warmth. It reads as refined and commanding for evening wear and cool seasons, yet remains smooth and inviting enough for upscale daytime settings. Think confident black tie polish with plush, long-lasting comfort.
Bottle and Design
Carlisle appears in the house’s sculpted glass flacon finished in a deep, lacquered green with the raised twin horse emblem. A substantial magnetic cap, precise atomizer, and glossy plaque give a satisfying weight in hand and a stately presence on the dresser, echoing the brand’s equestrian heritage.
