this perfume speaks good quality…. Its combination of Jasmine and Tuberose… and maybe a bit of gardenia, which makes the opening really sweet, but as it dries down the scent gets better and better…
However, there are other perfumes that smell more or less like this, such as Jovoy Gardez Moi, Dyptique Do Son, because basically it’s tuberose and jasmine, of course since it’s Parfum de Marly, the juice could be more refined…. Could be… I dunno….
Stellar longevity and silage.

Mmmm..Sedbury..❤️
You are a little gem, aren’t you..? Instant love for me at first sniff and the dry down just gets better. You are cool thanks to your white florals yet warm. The lavender brings a subtle relaxing vibe. You have a lovely powdery-ness, without being too powdery, just a relaxing, comforting vibe.
You won’t make me smell like every other girl at the mall or the coffee shop. You are a grown woman scent, a little sophisticated yet approachable and even comforting. Relaxing. Puts me in mind of a fancy sophisticated woman who is refreshingly very chill and laid back and you can sit and chat with about your troubles and she will give you heartfelt worldly advice. Maybe a sophisticated aunt or family friend you could always talk to about anything and she would readily lend an ear and comforting words and wise advice. Funny how sometimes a perfume makes you ‘think’ of something or someone. 🙂
I like (love) this even now, in the Springtime, but I can see I will especially love this for the colder months, as it has a warmth but is not ‘too warm’ like many cold weather fragrances, and it is not heavy on amber or cinnamon or incense or anything like that, so this will be great especially in the colder months. But this is also light enough to wear year-round, I think!!
Note-wise, I pick up the white floral, but it is not dominating for me. I pick up a yellow floral, too, even though no yellow florals are listed here in the notes. Then I pick up the lavender and the sage and lastly the benzoin. All of the other listed notes are lost on me; perhaps a bare touch of citrus when straining to sniff. I pick up a subtle woodiness, must be the vetiver. But I am not getting any iris, nor ambergris, nor vanilla, nor patchouli nor any bergamot.
I suppose this could be unisex to some noses. Just wanted to mention that. Also, this is not a modern scent, it leans a bit vintage to me, in the best way possible. Wanted to mention that, as well. To me this is more of a grown woman’s scent, probably not really geared for or appreciated by the young ‘uns, generally speaking!! 🙂
Sebury, you are a love for me. A treasure. So glad to have found you!! ❤️❤️❤️

Très très très bon parfum
Rien a dire et rien a ajouter 🙂
composition trop bonne et très bon mariage des notes
la bouteille est d’un design de haut niveau avec un son de fermeture unique en son genre…
la projection et la tenu sont modérer
son prix est un peu élevé certe, mais ça reste un parfum de luxe,
Un Must Have if you can…

Nice scent. Categorized as a women’s fragrances but there’s no reason for guys to shy away from it.

Okay, So I wanted to try this one for something different. So I sprayed it on before bed, and pictured a beautiful woman slowly lowering herself on top of me. Ahhhh…. Kim Kardashion… Well who did you expect?! Venus, Goddess of Love?!! That B don’t exist!
So there I was laying, with Kim as I fell asleep to suddenly awake and realize my cat was tapping me. He wanted to play.
A very pretty feminine scent. You can smell the notes colliding and at first you think this is just another mass market drugstore scent. But as the notes dissipated, it had the luxurious soft dry down that the others in this line had. I have to admit, my first thought was that I would hate this on a woman because I truly hated it at first. But after it dried down it was very pretty. My advice is to wait a few minutes after applying before heading out on that date.

Sedbury was my first fragrance from this brand (I’ve since tried Delina and Pegasus), and it’s still the one that’s left the biggest impression on me.
Upon first spray, Sedbury is a big, loud, very stereotypically French bouquet of white flowers with deep resin rounding out the sweetness of fresh cut jasmine and tuberose. The really special part, as others have mentioned, is that animalic, dirty, manure note lingering somewhere in the base. Lizardbreath is right on the nose in describing it as an ‘intoxicating fecal’ smell. It gives me such a curious reaction, which I like, and sets Sedbury apart from other florals for me.
All the fragrances I’ve tried from this house are very concentrated, a couple sprays go a long way. I consider Sedbury to be a feminine scent, though men could pull it off as well.
EDIT: Still a favorite. Sedbury is a white floral/aromatic combo that’s super well blended; no one note stands out from the rest, and as one reviewer said, I wouldn’t peg this as a tuberose scent on someone walking by. I find it sexy and alluring.

Oh this is good, but don’t buy it if you’re looking for a tuberose dominant scent. There is so much more going on here and I wouldn’t peg this as tuberose on someone walking by me wearing it. I personally find this scent completely unisex. It’s creamy tuberose, yes, but on me it’s also just as much a dry, resinous amber and ambergris combo. The lavender is quite noticeable as well and it’s the nice soothing kind. The tangerine and vetiver together add a faint spiced orange note I associate with Christmas. This is warm, smooth, creamy floral with a meditative ambery and smooth herbal quality. I can’t decide if it’s sexy or contemplative. I guess it would depend on who is smelling it.

I had practically given in to the thought of never finding a tuberose scent to suit my sensibilities until my encounter with Sedbury. I thought I was looking for a woody tuberose but along my sampling adventures found that dry woods are somewhat of a clash with the natural characteristics of this flower. Also, others I tested were either too coconutty, too green, too syrupy, synthetic, sharp, tropical, sweet, boring… yes, I had a long pedantic list of criteria.
Sedbury is the zenith of my tuberose journey, cleverly holding my interest with its cryptic nature. There’s a duality to this fragrance that appeals to my desire for a feminine, versatile, sensual perfume, and a curious undercurrent that probes at my sense.
As some reviewers have noted, it could be considered a crowd pleaser being easy to love… but where are the crowds here? Only 22 in the database listed as owning this beauty and one who considers it signature worthy since its launch in 2015? I think it’s a gem of a secret!
The fragrance indeed dances like a chypre — graceful and classic in structure yet clean and modern. As mentioned there is a curious duality: incredibly smooth tuberose, creamy but not heavy, white, luminous, glassy, gently sweet; running parallel to this is a fantastic softly bitter texture of salty dry green which is wild and quietly feral. I love this character in a perfume — refined and elegant with delicately restrained primal strength. Uncaged but well trained; thoroughbred and not broken.
Also of note is that sandalwood is missing from the note pyramid above. White flowers, amber, sandalwood and greens — yes, there is some kinship with Amouage Ubar as MissAnnette notes. I also own Ubar as one of my favorites and don’t particularly find this to be a watered down relative, but rather more pronounced on the florals and classic dry chypre notes and less on the animalic amber and sandalwood. I’d even dare classify this as a fougere.
I think fans of Cartier La Panthere and Narciso Rodriguez EDP (white cube bottle) will really enjoy Sedbury and love it better if seeking something that smells more natural and less sweet in the modern white floral chypre category. Do sample Sedbury if you get a chance. This elegant steed is sure to take you for a pleasurable ride!

Well…
I’m starting to wonder if it is my skin or if Parfums de Marly is way way overhyped?
This comes out of the bottle smelling like heaven. I’m a secret tubrose junkie so I had high hopes for this but sadly-like nearly every PDM offering: it dies on me within an hour.
It smells beautiful and floral and sweet and dense and deep. I can’t say much more because it doesn’t last. I wanted it to. I NEED IT TO.
I feel dejected. Damn you PDM. Your blends are beautiful but have no lasting power on me. Except for Safanad…whatever you did there…do it on everything.
Anyway, I will still probably buy a bottle if I can get a huge discount somewhere but for these prices I can’t justify the short lifespan and projection.
Scent 8.5/10 mostly linear but actually gets denser over time.
Longevity 3/10 why do you hate me PDM!?
Sillage 3/10 i could cry. Im sad. You made me cry.
Projection 5/10 for the first 20 minutes then virtually nothing on me.
Would I buy a full bottle? Yes if it were $100 not the approximately $275 retail the closest dealer sells it for.
Who do I recommend it for? Someone who has a habit of buying bottles they dont want and sending them to strangers like me for instance. ;0)
Seriously if you dont mind a floral heavy scent and you have less acidic skin chemistry then just find a way to get this. It’s beautiful and I’m heartbroken that it doesn’t work well on me.

I have had this perfume for a couple of months now, but I didn’t want to review it before now because I wanted to do it justice.
A lovely member here sent me a random assortment of samples. Mixed up in all of that was Sedbury. The minute I opened the sample, I was blown away. I felt like I had found my signature scent. When you know, you just know. Obviously the price is a bit of a detterent for some; it was for me as well, but this was one perfume that I couldn’t get out of my head. I wish I could just smell like this all day every day (the price is the only thing stopping me from bathing in it).
Sedbury smells like a very warm, tropical, white floral. It is creamy and sweet. There is something in the base of it that cuts the sweetness a bit. That would probably be where the anamalic classification comes in. I find it to be a very linear scent, which I like with this one, because I am in love with the initial smell as it is. The one thing I notice is that over time, the anamalic ‘dirty’ note, intensifies. Sillage is only arms length. People will smell it, but it won’t be intrusive. On my skin, it lasts about 8-10 hours. It lasts much longer in my hair, and even longer on my clothes. I can still smell it on my jacket collar and cuffs a week later.
I have never repurchased a perfume in my life, but this may be the first one I would. I do think this is a perfume that deserves more attention.

A much sweeter and very much watered down Amouage Ubar (for women).
They don’t smell the same but there are similarities.
I also agree with the reviews below. “Sedbury” is a crowd pleaser. BUT it is far from generic.
I initially found this a sweet and clean white floral. After 3 hrs, I am glad it’s not only that on me. My skin, much to my dismay, amplifies animalic notes which prevents me from wearing “Ubar” (a perfume I adore but can never wear). “Sedbury” is just right enough skank on my skin. Interesting but not too overwhelming (and polite. Lol)
edit: I changed my mind this is nothing like Ubar.
iamtossya-elli – :
“Sedbury” is a nice little thing most suitable for females. It has some very crowd pleasing qualities – what I get the most is tuberose, but not the sharp/weird one, but more like the creamy version. It isn’t though particulary tropical either which sometimes happens with tuberose scents which are enhanced with creamy notes.
“Sedbury” is…well…I have to agree with the review below – it does smell a bit watered down, especially the jasmine part. It does feel like someone made a huge white flower bomb and then decided that it won’t sell as good as they hope because it wouldn’t be crowd pleasing enough, so they just added other notes and watered down the two big flowers until they got something cute and nice and with just the hint of what this scent could have been.
That said – I do like “Sedbury”, because it’s meant to be liked by those who enjoy white florals – and I do. But this niceness and lack of uniqueness doesn’t cut the price tag in all honesty. If you’re in search for office friendly tuberose-jasmine combo don’t spend the $$ for niche, just go for a designer fragrance that doesn’t cost so much.
P.S. It did have a decant staying power of 7 hours, radiating strongly despite the “safeness” of the scent itself.

I had high expectations for Sedbury as I love jasmine. I was imagining a slightly animalic, ”dirty” jasmine reminiscence of horses and stables. To me it’s all very tamed,watery(maybe the mix of flowers and cituses),simple and on the safe side . No imagination in this one.. It’s just another crowd pleaser cold jasmine-tuberose scent that could easily be a mainstream. Very simple,casual and on my skin it disappears within minutes. Lovely bottle presentation but for that price range there are better jasmine perfumes out there.

Very nice scent but i think only for woman…
