Parfums de Marly Greenley is a crisp green apple woody: bright bergamot, mandarin and tangy green apple up top, over a warm, slightly salty amber and cedar base that does most of the work. It is one of the easiest Parfums de Marly scents to wear every day. On the Parfums de Marly UK site it is £245 for 125ml (checked September 2026).
Our take is Greenwood. Same green apple and amberwood signature, built at 35% Extrait, £40 for a 50ml, or £6.99 to try a 5ml first.
Greenwood, our take on Greenley by Parfums de Marly. 35% Extrait, 7+ hours guaranteed, 60-day money-back. Try the 5ml for £6.99, or the 50ml at £40 (buy any 2, get 1 free).
What Greenley smells like
Greenley is deliberately simple, and that is its charm. Bergamot, mandarin and green apple make a bright, fruity opening, petitgrain adds a bitter orange-leaf edge in the middle, and then a warm, salty amber with cedarwood carries the rest. It is clean, moderate in projection and easy to wear, which is why so many people reach for it as a daily and office scent. It reads masculine-leaning but works on anyone.
Greenwood: the £40 version
We will be straight about what this is. Greenwood is Aromara's interpretation of the Greenley character, not a counterfeit and not a Parfums de Marly product. It carries no branding and makes no claim to be the original. It chases the part that matters: the green apple and citrus opening, the petitgrain heart, and the ambrox, amberwood and cedar base underneath. It is drier and greener than our Layton take, with no vanilla.
The difference is in two numbers. Ours is built at 35% Extrait, roughly double a standard eau de parfum, so it holds for seven hours or more. And it costs £6.99 for a 5ml to test it, against £245 for the original 125ml. We guarantee the wear time in writing, with 60 days to send it back for a full refund if it does not last.

Where Greenwood sits in our range
Greenwood is one of 16 scents we launched on 16 September 2026, so it has no reviews yet. Here is the honest context. We make several Parfums de Marly takes, and they sell steadily at the same £40 and 35% Extrait: over the last 90 days our Layton take (Chivarly) sold 15 bottles and our Delina take (Rose Elegance) sold 16. Greenwood is the dry green option in that line. The 5ml at £6.99 and the 60-day money-back are how you judge it while it is new.
