Maté, cypress and thyme give the opening an herbal edge, warmed by saffron. Rose and iris soften the middle, with leather, vanilla, amber and musk carrying the finish.

Parfums de Marly Godolphin — front-facing product bottle

Parfums de Marly

Godolphin

Eau de Parfum

Galatea may appeal for Godolphin's saffron and leather, but its herbal opening highlights maté, cypress and thyme rather than fruit. Rose and iris soften the heart. Vanilla adds sweetness to the leather-and-amber finish, giving a different outline from Godolphin's cedar emphasis.
