French niche line Parfums de Marly has introduced Dorval, a new woody aromatic fragrance for men.

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.

Additional notes include bergamot, cardamom, pink pepper, cinnamon,  ambrox, tonka bean, vanilla and praline.

Parfums de Marly Dorval is available now at Nordstrom, in 75 or 125 ml Eau de Parfum.
