Percival

Percival by Parfums de Marly – launched in 2018 and blended by Hamid Merati-Kashani, this one’s your everyday luxury in a bottle. It’s clean, crisp, and versatile—think office-ready freshness with niche-level class. If colognes wore dress codes, this would be business casual with expensive shoes. The top opens with lavender, mandarin orange, bergamot, and geranium—bright, smooth, and just floral enough to keep things elegant without crossing into powdery territory. Then the heart adds some layers with hedione, violet, jasmine, coriander, and a whisper of cinnamon—a subtle mix of fresh, floral, and spice that keeps it from getting boring. The base is where it gets smooth and modern: ambroxan, amberwood, musk, balsam fir, and clearwood bring a soft, woody-amber vibe that lasts all day without getting loud.
