About Parfums de Marly Percival
Parfums De Marly Percival is a masculine Eau de Parfum from 2018 that delivers one of the freshest, most invigorating compositions in the brand's lineup. Named after a legendary racehorse, Percival has the energy and clean power of a thoroughbred at full gallop. It combines aromatic lavender with bright citrus, warm spices, and a smooth amber-woody base.
The opening is a burst of fresh energy with lavender, mandarin orange, bergamot, and geranium. Lavender provides clean, herbal freshness, citrus notes add brightness, and geranium contributes a rosy, minty quality. It is an immediately appealing opening that smells both classic and modern.
The heart brings hedione, violet, jasmine, coriander, and cinnamon. Hedione adds an airy, jasmine-like freshness that gives the fragrance lift and transparency. Violet contributes soft powdery sweetness, jasmine adds floral depth, and cinnamon provides a subtle warm spice. Coriander brings a slightly citrusy herbal quality.
The base is smooth and lasting with ambroxan, amberwood, musk, balsam fir, and clearwood. Ambroxan provides that modern, slightly salty amber warmth. Amberwood adds woody richness, musk ensures longevity, and balsam fir contributes a subtle resinous, forest-like quality. Clearwood adds a smooth, patchouli-like depth.
Percival is a versatile year-round fragrance that excels in spring and summer. Its fresh, aromatic character makes it perfect for office wear, active days, and casual occasions. One of the most universally wearable offerings from Parfums de Marly.
