Percival holds extraordinarily well, 8-9 hours go without problems, for a so-called freshness fragrance already times ne announcement, the Sillage is above average. Base Notes:Laotian Oud, Guaiac Wood, Vanilla, Coffee, Sandalwood, Indonesian Patchouli Leaf, Oakmoss, Amber, and Pink Pepper As with all Parfums de Marly fragrance releases, the bottle design is second to none. Moreover, the deep-blue bottle colour captures the vibe of the scent within, and the bottle itself is supremely sturdy and durable. Everything about this scent exudes quality. With deep woody base notes, Layton Exclusif has a darker scent than the original Layton.This striking fragrance is both sophisticated and animalistic. If you're looking for a dark, mysterious scent, Layton Exclusif is for you. PdM fragrances have not really convinced me yet, but this is due to my personal taste and not to the way they are made. Only Galloway I found pleasant, although this one also gets a somewhat "sneezy" impact in the drydown.

Percival is a fresh, versatile fragrance with a surprising woody base. It's a clean, modern fragrance that is reminiscent of the ocean. We'd describe this as likable, familiar and versatile. A couple of sprays of Percival and you're going to get compliments.This powerful, long-lasting fragrance starts sweet, then turns spicy before settling into a rich, vanilla-centered aroma. I was a big fan of Joop Nightflight in the 90's until he was finally, years later, reformulated on a splash of his self-destructed. All attempts to get hold of an original version failed miserably. It was practically my signature scent over several years (yes, now it's out and I'm proud of it). Percival hält außerordentlich gut, 8-9 Stunden gehen problemlos, für einen sog. Frischeduft schon mal ne Ansage, die Sillage ist überdurchschnittlich. Nevertheless, I gave Percival considerably more chances than the comparable fragrances from this fragrance, which I always waved away in the Müller/Douglas. And yeaha..I liked Percival better and better, day after day, even though the fragrance experience seemed very familiar to me, of course, without finding a 100% hit, all somehow similar and yet different. What exactly? I don't know, the fragrance appeals to me in its spicy freshness and light sweetness. Have I already fallen for the niche robe? I think that the brand and the bottle in general somehow influences me to be more benevolent towards it, equating the price and the heavy bottle with value and quality. I'm already honest to myself, I can't exclude it completely in this case..and with other scents (meanwhile) also not (anymore). I only noticed over the weeks of abstinence that the fewer niche fragrances I tested, the less I read about them here (daily), the less I put perfume in the spotlight, i.e. more daily users (without thinking much about it) than obsessive collectors who screen fragrances from 100 angles, i have always searched for the best fragrance of the respective category, the more fun I found in such fragrances again, to simply wear them without great fuss and without rising white smoke, as I used to do when it was all about smelling good, at least to me.

Percival ist für mich das Parfum, welches ich auftrage, wenn ich nicht weiß, was ich tragen soll. Wenn ich mich nicht entscheiden kann. Wenn es schnell gehen muss und ich Creed Aventus schon satt habe (ja, derzeit rieche ich es sogar um einiges lieber als Aventus)

My Account

Actually I don't want to go to such a discussion level, because I can't do much with the drawers (think) niche/mainstream, but the statement in a statement about this scent has made me think.

Percival is one of the absolute best fresh scents on the market, in my opinion classes better than zb (the new formulation) of Aventus. He is fresh, he is slightly aquatic and thus very pleasant to the nose, but can score at the same time with a spicy, peppery note. Well, several run-of-the-mill fragrances like Dior Sauvage can do that too, but not only does Percival do it better, it combines the whole thing with a hint of a green note as icing on the cake. A combination that I have not smelled so yet and which gives a great, but quite linear perfume then yet the depth and complexity of a niche perfume and it clearly stands out from the crowd.Percival can be worn by any age group and goes down well in the office, as well as on a date or even in all other walks of life. It is perfect for a signature scent.

It starts with a fresh and fruity mix of spices and not strongly citrusy like most fragrances of its kind. Although not listed in the fragrance pyramid, ambroxan is also a strongly perceptible component, but very pleasant and fresh and not as penetrating and annoying as in Dior Sauvage. Percival ist da für mich ein prima Kompromiss. Trotz dem, dass es ein Nischenduft ist, ist er verdammt massentauglich und erinnert an vielen Punkten an andere Düfte - ist für mich jedoch trotz allem ein eigenständiger Duft. Am allermeisten erinnert er mich wohl an mein altes (und leider leeres) Fierce von Abercrombie & Fitch, welches ich, bevor ich zu sammeln und horten begann, ach so sehr liebte. Besonders, weil alle "neuen" Formulierungen nicht mehr viel mit dem alten zu tun haben und vor allem nichtmal mehr 2 Stunden halten.I've seldom been so stunned in a perfume test. This familiar feeling, this smell... you know what it's like! But what is it?! I was just sure it had to be from the '90s. It was fruity in the beginning, paired with lavender and light geranium...I could have gone crazy! At some point I only noticed the scent on the side. Thinking about it has made me weird. Percival hält bei mir sehr gut und auch die Sillage ist angenehm. Immer wieder erhascht man über den Tag verteilt mal wieder eine kleine Wolke und wird erinnert, dass er noch präsent ist und seine Arbeit verrichtet. The memories of that time, in connection with Percival, have put a grin on my face today and it doesn't matter if he could be a crowdpleaser or not. Before I buy a diluted NIghtflight version in the www, I'll probably go for Percival, even if only for a few moments. Some times are simply best remembered ;-) For a fresh scent, I was quite surprised at how well this fragrance performs. On me, the scent projects out strongly for a few hours and lasts for 6-8 hours total. Occasions and Versatility Pegasus Exclusif has a sweet, woody scent. It's rich, luxurious and has a somewhat darker, more mysterious profile than the original Pegasus formula.
