Is Godolphin worth it?
Short answer: Sample it first: Parfums de Marly Godolphin is 75 ml listed at $290 at Parfums de Marly (US) (sold out when we checked), and a 1 ml sample is $5.99 at Fragrances Line on Nov 14, 2026.
Parfums de Marly Godolphin is a sample-first purchase: the one US dollar bottle in our library is 75 ml listed at $290 at Parfums de Marly (US) (sold out when we checked) as of Nov 14, 2026, and a 1 ml sample is $5.99 at Fragrances Line. The list is thyme, saffron and raspberry over leather and blond woods, which is an unusual list, and unusual lists are where blind buys go to die.
What you're paying for
Every US dollar bottle listing in our library, checked Nov 14, 2026. Sold-out listings are shown for reference, not as deals.
| Retailer | Size | Price | Per ml | Stock when we checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Parfums de Marly (US) | 75 ml | $290 | $3.87 | sold out when we checked |
That is $3.87 per ml. The brand's US page marks the 75 ml as unavailable, with a delivery date of 11/16/2026 shown, so it may come back soon. Its 125 ml size shows no price.
What it smells like, per the note list
The notes as listed: top: Thyme, Saffron, Raspberry; heart: Rose, Iris, Jasmine; base: Leather, Ambrox, Blond Woods. Retailers disagree slightly: one lists thyme, saffron and cypress on top and a leather accord, so check the brand page.
Wearers commonly describe a saffron-and-leather scent with a fruity raspberry twist. It is a Wes Anderson production design in a bottle: precise, a little odd, very specific. The note list is unusual enough that reviews are split.
Who it's worth it for, and who should pass
Worth it if: you like leather and saffron and are curious about a raspberry twist.
Pass if: you want a safe crowd-pleaser. The list is unusual, and unusual is the point.
