- Long-lasting scent
Percival by Parfums de Marly is a bright aromatic with a warm, ambery backbone, fresh on top and solid underneath. Lavender, mandarin, bergamot and geranium open it with a clean citrus snap. In the heart, violet and jasmine sit beside coriander and a pinch of cinnamon, while Hedione keeps everything airy. The base is where it gets its strength: Ambroxan, amberwood, musk, balsam fir and Clearwood, dry and woody rather than sweet. Released in 2018, it is mostly worn by men who want to look sharp without trying hard. Voters wear it in spring and summer, in daylight and at the office, so it sits well with a working week. Most wearers vote it long-lasting, and the clear sillage verdict is moderate. Start with a 10ml decant and see how it settles into your routine.
