A suave leather fragrance with a refined aura, Parfums de Marly Godolphin opens with saffron and aromatic thyme touched by a hint of fruit and green brightness, then moves into a polished floral heart of rose, jasmine, and orris that softens the edges of the leather. The dry down settles into an elegant blend of amber, vanilla, cedar, vetiver, musk, and supple leather for a luxurious, long-lasting trail.

Story and Positioning
Named for the legendary Godolphin Arabian stallion, this composition channels Parfums de Marly’s equestrian heritage through a sophisticated leather theme tempered with florals and warm woods. It reads as confident and urbane, suitable for evening wear or statement daytime use. Its smooth leather accent is often compared to modern icons such as Tom Ford Tuscan Leather and Rasasi La Yuqawam Pour Homme, placing Godolphin firmly among luxurious leather choices with excellent presence and polish.
Bottle and Design
The flacon presents a mirrored gold finish in the house’s signature sculpted silhouette with the twin horse emblem in relief. A weighty cap and substantial glass give it a rich hand feel, while the reflective surface and minimal plaque emphasize elegance and a dressed-up attitude on the vanity.
