The review

Percival scores 7.0 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Percival.

Palermo Perfumes 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 $23 it costs 94% less than Percival.

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 Palermo Perfumes 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

Parfums de Marly Percival is bergamot, geranium and lavender at first, jasmine, coriander and violet at its heart and musk, balsam fir and clearwood at the end. Palermo Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

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.
