Parfums De Marly Godolphin EDP
Description
Godolphin is named for the Godolphin Arabian, one of three foundation sires of the modern Thoroughbred, a horse whose bloodline runs through a striking share of today's racehorses. Composed by perfumer Michele Saramito and launched in 2010, the eau de parfum opens with dry saffron, cypress, and thyme, moves into a refined heart of iris, jasmine, and rose, then resolves into a smooth, leather-like base of vetiver, white cedarwood, amber, musk, and vanilla. It's a woody-floral built for sophistication and timeless allure, true to its equestrian namesake.
