The review
On paper, BOLD is a strong bet if you want Percival for less.
AromaPassions sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Percival's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $69 per 100ml it costs 78% less than Percival — the 2nd cheapest of 7 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength AromaPassions publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on bergamot, geranium and lavender, turns to jasmine, coriander and violet, and settles into musk, balsam fir and clearwood. That is the brief BOLD is working from.
Top
- bergamot
- geranium
- lavender
Heart
- jasmine
- coriander
- violet
Base
- musk
- balsam fir
- clearwood
For the one who wants an elevated fresh-aromatic citrus over clean woods, a polished daily-wear that feels like a luxury take on blue designer scents.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 10 twins of Parfums de Marly Percival we can price, BOLD is number 2 on price per 100ml.
