Scentonym Analysis
Our objective metric for performance per dollar.
Scent Breakdown
ÉCLAT 805 VIP aims for Parfums de Marly's Carlisle, and gets reasonably close. The opening hits you with a spiced apple, thanks to the nutmeg and green apple notes. It's a bit sharper and more synthetic than Carlisle’s smoother blend. The heart shifts to a tonka bean and rose combo, but the rose feels a little dialed back here. The base of patchouli and vanilla is where it lands closest to the inspiration. It's warm and comforting. Overall, I'd say it's about 91% similar to Carlisle.
The Performance Stats
Performance is respectable . I get around 6-7 hours on my skin with moderate projection for the first two hours before it settles closer. It's definitely not a beast mode fragrance. Re-application might be needed if you want it to last through a full workday.
Final Thoughts
ÉCLAT 805 VIP is a solid choice if you like Carlisle but don't want to drop serious cash. It's not a perfect replica; there are some synthetic edges. But, it's a very wearable fragrance. This is perfect for cooler weather, date nights, or evenings out. If you're obsessed with ultra-realistic niche quality, stick with Carlisle. But for a tenth of the price, this is a worthwhile daily driver. A great budget option that scratches the itch.
