Parfums de Marly Percival was launched in 2018. Created by Hamid Merati-Kashani, it features top notes of lavender, mandarin orange, bergamot and geranium; middle notes of Hedione, jasmine, violet, coriander and cinnamon; and base notes of Ambroxan, balsam fir, amberwood, musk and Clearwood. It is an eau de parfum, edp.
Named for a mythical French thoroughbred, Percival is that rarest of wonders -- a truly ageless masculine. Sure, we can picture a dashing racing horse thundering around an 18th century track to the delight of the aristocracy, but Percival is every bit as appropriate on a debonair gentleman in a pristine late-model luxury sedan, stylishly cutting his way through the bustling city night on his way to an exclusive gathering. With a subtle yet striking balance between citrus and aromatic notes, a richly masculine floral heart of lavender, violet and geranium, and a spiced, deeply woodsy base, this is the kind of scent that wears as perfectly on any man as an impeccably tailored three-piece suit -- a timeless signifier of dignity and taste. Fresh, sensual and refined, Percival is bound to leave a lasting impression.
Fragrantica - "You can do experiments with crazy expensive oud perfumes, wear unique gourmands and try nichest of niche perfumes but at the end of a day, there will always be a guy wearing Percival and he will probably smell better than you."
Fragrantica - "If you like smelling good and getting compliments then this is the way to go."
Fragrantica - "Bought a bottle, sold it, bought it again. No matter how many designer blues I try, something about Percival is just hard to beat. Nuclear performance with a very clean, refined, and deep year-round scent. Definitely on the heavier side so stick to 1-3 sprays depending on time-of-year and occasion."
