Details & care
What it is: A Nordstrom-exclusive woody, spicy and aromatic eau de parfum inspired by the intrigue and murmurs of the French court in the 18th century.
Fragrance story: This mysterious, multifaceted fragrance captures the aromatic freshness of clary sage, the spicy warmth of copaiba balsam and the depth of guaiacwood in an olfactory prism. The 18th century was an age of hidden doors and carefully orchestrated secrets. Within the hushed corridors of the Chateau de Marly, alliances were forged with a whisper. The contrasting notes of Dorval are an embodiment of the mysterious secrets whispered in the hidden passageways.
Style: Woody, aromatic.
Notes:
- Top: bergamot, cardamom, pink peppercorn
- Middle: cinnamon, copaiba balsam, clary sage
- Base: guaiacwood, ambrox, tonka bean, vanilla, praline

disappointed
Lacks originality and not worth the price tag at all. You spray it and an hour later you can’t smell it anymore. This is a disaster by PDM

I wore this a full day.
I have many PDM fragrances. I got a small sample of this one from Nordstrom and wore it a full day. The performance is good, 7 to 8 hours pretty easy. I like the scent, the weird thing is it smells like a lot of things out there and it doesn't smell very special but yet I must've smelled it 100 times that day. Also, I will wear this again probably tomorrow. Those are two bellwethers of a good product. There's a strong likelihood I will buy a full bottle.

Another Positive Addition to my Collection
Parfums de Marly Dorval is an absolutely beautiful fragrance. It has a sophisticated blend of warm spices, aromatic notes, creamy vanilla, tonka bean, and smooth woods that come together effortlessly. The scent feels luxurious, elegant, and incredibly well-balanced, with just the right amount of sweetness and warmth. It has a distinctive character that feels refined without being overpowering. Dorval is definitely a fragrance that stands out and gets better the longer you wear it. A gorgeous addition to any fragrance collection!

Standout from PDM
This is hands down my favorite Parfums de Marly fragrance. I own every masculine/unisex scent from the house, and this falls in the same lane as Layton, with the depth and spicy notes that just feels warm and inviting.
