The review

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

Zoha Aroma 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.

It is sold as a perfume oil — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.

At $108 per 100ml it costs 66% less than Percival — the 4th cheapest of 7 twins we can price.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Zoha Aroma 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. Zoha Aroma set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • bergamot
  • geranium

Heart

  • jasmine

Base

  • 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.
