Perseus

First of all I was trying to find a new PDM for the Spring/Summer and I bought a tester of Perseus, Sedley, Greenley, and Percival. Perseus to me is one of the most beautiful and photorealistic citrus fragrances I have ever smelt. When your nose first picks up its scent, it smells sour, but the more you smell it the sweeter it gets. And that is completely what happens when you go to the grocery store and smell the rind of a fresh grapefruit. It lures you in wanting more of the bittersweetness. Quite frankly people might start thinking I’m weird the way I can’t stop smelling myself! 10/10 Summer fragrance. I definitely recommend this to all my citrus lovers. I will be buying a full size bottle of this.

Rocked it last spring/summer. Very beautiful grapefruit fresh opening as you would have expected, grapefruit and bergamot smell juicy and ripe and for me they remain the main players for at least an hour and after that my favorite part comes in. You have this beautiful, opulent Haitian vetiver that is juicy,sweet and smoky slightly woody with the highest quality possible. It continues to go deeper and deeper on that vetiver with woody and cashmeran backup. This is just gorgeous and actually quite unique for spring and summer. It's also a compliment magnet and people around you will love it.

sharp bitter juicy citrus opening that evolves into a gorgeous rounded mandarin citrus sitting outside on a sunny day. has a dry green woody backbone from the vetiver and aromatic herbal element but extremely smooth. some wafts of blackcurrants. this is like a nice soft hug. you bite into bitter citrus and then enjoy the sweetness after. this is not overly complex but has an evolution, strength, and power. not too soapy which i prefer. highly versatile. spring, summer, office or casual daytime situations. has a brightness that makes you happy.

Criminally disrespected and disregarded fragrance. Anyone who brushes it off with a simple "smells like Terre d'Hermes" needs to learn some nuanced language. If this is like TdH, it's like the final boss of TdH DNA. It's so fresh and juicy, lightly woody and creamy as well. It is a compliment puller for sure. Definitely my favorite freshie from Parfums de Marly. Luckily for anyone looking to pick it up, because it is frequently overlooked, you can get a big bottle on discounters for less than the other big PDM bottles.

It’s one of the most underrated but excellent scents from PDM. The grapefruit and bergamot opening is awakening and refreshing with a smooth and elegant woody and manly drydown. It’s definitely one of my favorites.
