They are opposite ends of the Parfums de Marly range. Carlisle is the sweet, plush one, green apple and saffron into tonka and rose over vanilla and opopanax. Castley is dry and sharp: bergamot, grapefruit, ginger and black pepper up top, more pepper with neroli, petitgrain and timur through the heart, then akigalawood, labdanum and leather. Carlisle is for cold evenings; Castley is the one built for daylight and warm weather.

It is one of the better options in the house for it. Ginger, black pepper and timur are dry, prickly notes that sharpen on warm skin rather than sweetening, and neroli and petitgrain keep a bitter green edge that humidity does not blunt. Bergamot and grapefruit go quickly, but they are not what carries this. The labdanum and leather base does warm through the afternoon, giving the last hours more body than the opening suggests.
