The review
On paper, an Equestrian Series Pierce is a strong bet if you want Perseus for less.
French Avenue sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Perseus's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
It is sold as an eau de parfum, the strength most designer originals are sold at.
At $37 per 100ml it costs 88% less than Perseus — the 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 French Avenue 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 basil, mint and artemisia, turns to geranium and rosemary, and settles into patchouli, musk and cedar. That is the brief an Equestrian Series Pierce is working from.
Top
- basil
- mint
- artemisia
Heart
- geranium
- rosemary
Base
- patchouli
- musk
- cedar
A crisp basil-and-mint aromatic over green patchouli, clean and effortlessly wearable.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
