Castley is an aromatic, Peppery, Woody fragrance created for Men in 2025.
Review
This scent is fresh and zesty with a subtle pepperiness to it. The Black Pepper and Timur Pepper certainly gives a nice zing to the scent, but they are not too intense, likely mellowed by the brightness of the citrus essences….of which there are many. The base is comprised of warmer woods and Resins, that all add a gentle earthy touch that gives the scent depth, letting the lighter notes thrive and helping them to last longer. It’s refreshing and has a delicacy to it, but has a nice, rounded depth as well. It dries down with a very mellow, aromatic essence. It borders somewhere between casual and elegant, which makes this scent wearable for any time, place, or occasion, easily being dressed up or down. While its lightness makes it feel perfect for the Spring and Summer, it can absolutely be worn in any season. It has been compared to fragrances like Louis Vuitton Imagination, Parfums de Marly Sedley, and a few Burberry fragrances.
Inspiration
Castley takes inspiration from the individual that is always on the move and full of energy. It boasts a luminous and vibrant depth that will add a layer of confidence to the wearer.
Notes
You can catch the Black Pepper and Timur Pepper notes immediately with this scent. It’s surrounded by multiple citrus essences, Bergamot, Petitgrain, and Neroli, which all help to temper too much spiciness, and keeps things fresh. Ginger adds its refreshing and spicy essences, helping both elements. Akigalawood is somewhat fresh as a wood, even having its own slightly peppery essence, which helps to boost the lighter essences without weighing them down. Labdanum and Benzoin bring their resinous, earthy essences to the scent, adding depth and helping all of the lighter notes to last longer. Overall, the scent remains bright and peppery with earthy elements.
