Parfums de Marly Percival is a fresh, aromatic fragrance that strikes a balance between sophistication and wearability. It opens with a burst of citrus notes like bergamot, mandarin, and pink pepper, creating a zesty, lively start. The floral heart, composed of lavender, geranium, and cardamom, brings a clean, aromatic character, while the lavender keeps the fragrance grounded without veering into traditional aftershave territory. As the fragrance settles, it evolves into a subtle blend of Ambro Xan, musk, and balsam fir, lending it a soft, woody depth with a slight green and spicy nuance.

It works best in warmer months and is versatile enough for daily wear, office environments, or even casual outings. While some critics compare it to more mainstream blue fragrances like Dior Sauvage or Bleu de Chanel due to its fresh and crowd-pleasing nature, Percival’s high-quality composition sets it apart, making it a refined option for those seeking a more upscale version of the “blue fragrance” genre

However, its somewhat familiar scent profile has led to mixed reactions. While some find it to be a great signature scent, others feel it lacks the uniqueness of other Parfums de Marly creations. Still, it’s considered a safe, likable choice, with a high-quality, wearable finish
