Godolphin is one of the fragrances of Parfums de Marly, a house whose coat of arms pays tribute to the horses of Marly, sculpted for Louis XV. It is an elegant, floral and spicy leather.
Thyme, saffron and raspberry open the composition. Rose, orris and jasmine form a floral, powdery heart, before a base of leather, Ambrox and blond woods.

Godolphin in detail
Parfums de Marly placed the horses of Marly, sculpted for Louis XV, on its coat of arms, and draws its imagery from the château where the king received his "perfumed court". Godolphin is an elegant leather, at once floral, powdery and spicy, which Volute files among leathers.
The official pyramid opens with aromatic thyme, saffron and raspberry, a spicy, fruity start. The heart brings together rose, orris and jasmine, a floral, powdery bouquet. The base pairs leather, woody, ambery Ambrox and blond woods, rendered here by woody notes.
Godolphin suits autumn and winter, by day or by night. Its raspberry and saffron opening makes the leather softer and more luminous, and its powdery orris heart keeps it elegant.
Three leather fragrances in our catalogue come close: Tuscan Leather by Tom Ford shares leather, saffron, raspberry, thyme and jasmine; Smoke Show by Vilhelm Parfumerie pairs saffron, rose and leather; African Leather by Memo Paris finds rose and leather again.
