Perseus

Perseus by Parfums de Marly – hot off the shelves in 2024 and crafted by Nathalie Templer, this one feels like spring mornings in a bottle—with a touch of royal polish. It’s fresh, it’s woodsy, and it’s got just enough edge to keep things interesting. Right from the jump, you get a vibrant trio of grapefruit, bergamot, and black currant—zesty, juicy, and just a little tart, like a citrus salad with a sharp suit on. The midnotes bring in vetiver, green mandarin, and geranium—earthy and crisp with a hint of green bite that says, “Yeah, I showered—and then some.” The dry-down is where Perseus really flexes: dry wood, cashmere wood, balsam fir, cedar, ambergris, and a bit of tonka bean to round it all out with a cozy touch.

Final Verdict: Perseus by Parfums de Marly—It’s warm, elegant, and rugged all at once—like a gentleman who chops wood in cologne ads. If you’re looking for a signature scent that smells like confidence with a fresh twist, Perseus brings the charm without overplaying its hand. Easy to wear, hard to forget.
