How it moves
It arrives on bergamot, geranium, lavender and mandarin orange — bright, immediate, gone before you have decided about it. The middle belongs to jasmine, coriander, violet, Hedione and cinnamon. Last to go: musk, balsam fir, clearwood and amberwood.
What wearers say
4.18 out of 5 across 2,013 ratings — well loved, and not quietly.
- Described as a versatile, fresh citrus-aromatic for daily wear, often likened to a more expensive-smelling Fierce or Dylan Blue.
- Reviewers praise its clean, inoffensive and office-friendly character, while some feel it is generic for a niche price point.
- Longevity is generally called moderate at four to six hours, with pleasant projection early and a soft woody-musk drydown.
Who made it
Hamid Merati-Kashani composed it in 2018, for Parfums de Marly in France. Named after an Arthurian Knight of the Round Table, Percival launched in 2018 as a fresh, citrusy-aromatic woody signed by Hamid Merati-Kashani.
