Parfums de Marly
Named for a mythical French thoroughbred, Percival is that rarest of wonders. A truly ageless masculine. Sure, we can picture a dashing racing horse thundering around an 18th century track to the delight of the aristocracy, but Percival is every bit as appropriate on a debonair gentleman in a pristine late model luxury sedan, stylishly cutting his way through the bustling city night on his way to an exclusive gathering.
With a subtle yet striking balance between citrus and aromatic notes, a richly masculine floral heart of lavender, violet and geranium, and a spiced, deeply woodsy base, this is the kind of scent that wears as perfectly on any man as an impeccably tailored three piece suit, a timeless signifier of dignity and taste. Fresh, sensual and refined, Percival is bound to leave a lasting impression.

It's Solid
Smells fresh and clean. Good for day and night.
One of my favorite fragrances. Just wish it lasted a bit longer. Blue, fresh and very safe blind buy.
one of my favorites, I enjoy the peppery scent...
it smell good i just thought it was going to have a stronger projection but it still get a 5 star
Beautiful. Took me back to when I would shop at the Abercrombie store. Such a timeless scent.
I love it, just may make it the signature scent
Very fresh and clean smelling.
Love it
To me this is basically a better AF Fierce that lasts longer and doesn't get that stale smell. Slightly more citrus on the top too. Great for any occasion, I would wear this in the fall to an apple orchid or a concert. Not offensive, straightforward and very good even 6-7 hours later.
I got several compliments on this cologne, I might buy a full bottle.
Smells just like Abercombie and Fitch. The only difference is that the fragrance is longer lasting.
It was a really nice scent however, it was nothing special. I prefer the Layton scent
It smells clean and fresh. Would use for office, working out and brunch not a night cologne
For its price I was expecting more and longer lasting. Great fragrance but felt it did last long
Smells fantastic.
It's sporty and light without that overbearing classic "blue" scent. Opens with a bright powerful citrus, mellows to a more desirable spicy citrus. It's powerful out of the gate but fades, I would say lasts about 4 hours or so. I enjoy it for something more fun and exciting. It's not a favorite of mine I'm more into darker sweeter notes, but this is a nice light scent to add to a collection especially for someone who is into the sporty scents but is sick of the generic "blue".
Fantastic scent!
Great scents, spring/summery feel
Absolutely amazing. The balance between the musk and the citrus is wonderful.
This is a nice clean fresh scent that I think would be perfect for spring/summer day in the office or out running errands.
I was expecting a bit more, but still a great scent. It's the perfect scent to wear for just about any occasion. Not too strong, not too light.
Just great
Smells fresh and Amazing!!
Nice, but not exciting. Definitely enjoy Layton and Pegasus much, much more. Can't see paying for this one even from a discounter.
Worth a repurchase. That's probably gonna explain the wait list.
This is a very nice scent kinda reminds me of polo blue and it’s very luxurious
This will be the next bottle I buy!!! This is definitely a great daily. I love this smell
I think I like this more than sedley. Excellent fresh and luxurious
Great fragrance. Performs very well and is versatile.
Great smelling cologne, received a lot of compliments.
Spicy, citrus and summery fragrance. Really nice for hot summer days.
I agree it smells like a&f fierce, but in my opinion it’s even better. I wouldn’t buy a full bottle but it’s still really good still.
very nice spicy citrus scent
Smells good but is exactly the same as Abercrombie Fierce. This is definitely not worth its full price.
Masculine without the spicy/warm notes. It smells amazing on my husband!
I love the citrusy notes and that it’s not overpowering. I do wish that it lasted longer, but I always have that problem with citrusy scents.
PDM is in my top 5 and this is no exception. Very young and fresh.
Love it
Absolutely love this one. Fresh, citrusy, but also slightly woody. Could where this one on any occasion imo.
Winner
It’s a good fresh and citrusy fragrance but nothing that jumps out of the box for this full bottle price
I really like the smell of this cologne, it's refreshing and have received many compliments each time I wear it.
I love this Fragrance, it's so clean fresh and snappy I fell in love immediately. I'll be looking into the rest of the PDM line
I would compare this to A&F Fierce but a bit better. I just wish it lasted longer
I really like it
Love it! Woody musk
This is now my fav fragrance!! Bog compliment grabber n has a bold sweet smell but doesn’t come across loud. Good longevity n feels high class
This is a very easy scent to wear. I don't know why it smells so familiar but I can't get enough of it. I haven't gotten very many compliments while wearing it which is strange but nonetheless I really enjoy wearing this scent. I especially love the sweetness that radiates once it dries down.
I just did not care for the opening of this cologne at all.
Percival Smells Really Good! very easily described as Abercrombies Fierce just better quality and longer lasting. Smells manly and has good performance.
This smells great! I highly recommend
Honestly love this scent! Reminds me of my dad.
Overall a good smelling scent. It’s scent DNA is something that is very familiar to me . So it didn’t stand out. The price point of a regular bottle is flat out too much for this particular scent. You’re better off with mint blanc legend for 40 bucks. However it does smell good.
This fragrance is AMAZING! Definitely my new favorite. It's fresh and citrusy. The longevity and projection are both on point...A certified banger!
This was my first niche fragrance and there is an undeniable difference in quality. Percival smells designer(ish) but definitely a tier above. Very fresh and clean but not like a shower gel. Compliment magnet and wide ranging mass appeal, but you won't smell like the masses. Moderate/slightly above average projection but it's strength is it's sillage. Left an impressive scent trail that turned many heads. 100% recommend.
Clean fresh scent with a nice longevity. I dont disagree with some callouts that this is a simple scent especially from this house. However it doesn't take away from the fact that they simply did it right. Great depth, reach, and nice longevity of over 6 hours; still there after a 30 min workout session.
Awesome scent. Manly and fresh with some depth.
Bold and floral but manly on the skin. Not like the rest
It’s not bad, but it won’t blow you away either. Had high hopes for this as PDM make some of the best niche frags out there. But this one is a little boring. Again, not bad, just not memorable. Almost has a Green Irish Tweed mixed with lavender and a very interesting metallic note; of which I’m assuming comes from the bergamot.
Awesome. Wife loves it too. Just wish it wasn’t like $200 a bottle.
A niche version of Dior Sauvage. I would recommend saving your money and getting Sauvage EDP.
it smells good didn’t last as long as i thought it would coming from pdm it also didn’t project as much as i thought, nothing special probably the worst pdm out of the bunch
It’s a very nice and fresh fragrance, nothing ground breaking by any means. Don’t get me wrong I absolutely love this, just don’t be expecting anything outside the normal of a fresh fragrance. It opens with a beautiful citrus, then slowly going into a softer scent, then finally drying down into a fresh musky woody fragrance. Great for summer, great freshie for everyday wear. Don’t know if the price tag on a bottle justifies a purchase as I have many fragrances that go in this same direction. But I don’t regret getting a decant at all!
I'd give 4.5 stars if I could. Really great scent, would be happy to receive it as a gift, not sure that I would spend my own money on it (pricey). Very fresh, reasonably complex, but not quite amazing. Longevity is somewhat disappointing. Not bad, just not as good as other Marlys.
I love it
Great summer cologne.
Great summer scent. Not groundbreaking but on par with the best of fresh fragrances in my humble opinion. I wish this lasted longer though.
Decent enough. Good smell
Smells clean but in a cleaning product kind of way, not really a fan but i didn't sent it back to give it a chance but nope still don't like it. asked my female roommate her thoughts she said its "alright"
Meh. Pleasant fragrance. Absolutely nothing outstanding or unique.
Okay fragrance not too overwhelming very very fresh
Not the most unique smell from the house but is a pleasing smell too most people.
It has a fresh opening of bergamot. Very quickly, the bergamot recedes and you start to pick up on an orange smell with light musk. I don't get any fir smell as described in the note breakdown. It sits close to my skin. Very nice for the office. Inoffensive. It has a designer feel at a niche perfume cost. It's overall very nice, but i feel that there are cheaper options, if you're looking to buy a bottle, for the scent profile; therefore 4 stars. Good quality ingredients.
I really enjoy this scent! To me it’s very close to the original Fierce but with more depth. Very versatile scent that you could use in any occasion. My only complaint is that it doesn’t last that long and projection is pretty close to the skin. I do prefer this over Layton though.
Signature scent
This is my favorite PDM fragrance. For the record PDM has a lot of really good scents. You can wear this scent all year round because that citrus and musk really blend well together. This fragrance will get you noticed, but it won't be overpowering. You can wear it to work or on a date, that is how versatile it is. It settles really well and lasts a decent amount of time.
Doesn't last long but I do love it.
Love it
Love this fragrance
Smells so good and got very good compliments
Smells like 85% sauvage. And that's played out. I was hoping someone unique as I heard every one rave about it and the price also shows it should be unforgettable. But I finished the whole sample and never got 1 complement. Versace man or my 212 every time I wear them I get notice from all ages and genders.
Nice
This is a grown man fragrance. date night , suit and tie event. If you want a women to notice you, fellas this is a home run!????
Seriously my favorite PDM. I love the fresh smell and it lasts ALL DAY.
At first I thought it was kinda basic, but when I wore it more, I realized how much I loved this scent. So good, so easy to wear and easy to love!
Fresh and versatile
Not a fan of this at all. It smells like so many designer colognes and therefore offers nothing new or original. Smells a lot like a JV or an Azzaro scent. I definitely would never purchase a full bottle of this and don't even know if I can even finish this sample.
Good scent..just reminds me when i first started buying cologne of thise citrus-y scents i used to get. Good longevity.
Quintessential blue fragrance done with great quality, strong musk notes with orange and wood
Obviously a well crafted fragrance, very high quality. Longevity and projection are very good for me unlike some others. It is very safe for a niche fragrance. This would be a good bridge from designer to niche, it will not offend.
Smells clean and fresh!
Don’t get me wrong it smells good and all, however it doesn’t have a very long staying power, unless you bathe yourself in it which at that point you aren’t using it properly and it gives you a headache in my opinion. I would give it a 3.5 out of five stars, it smells good but the price for is $310 dollars and it doesn’t last very long. Definitely worth a try though in my opinion
Smelled really nice. Wasn’t swept off my feet which is why I didn’t give it 5 stars. Great fragrance to sample.
Very pleasant and safe scent, it’s nothing unique like Herod and Layton but it definitely will get you complimented. I think this is best suited to wear in warm to cooler months.
Spicy fruity fragrance perfect for romantic summer night or fall
Super light and clean scent. Great dry down as well.
Light smooth sexy
This smells like if you mix Axe body spray with the Abercrombie & Fitch store scent, add a hint of sweat and regret, and spritz it on a 45+ chauvinist male who is going through a midlife crisis and has delusions of grandeur. For a fragrance whose original full bottle price is $310, this scent is a choice. This fragrance in my opinion is directed more towards older men (40ish plus) who spend their lives at an office. Definitely something I've smelt before and not unique. I like smelling different and this is too common for me. Not to mention that it aged me 50 years.
Amazing
The reviews ive seen on youtube say it is a safe scent and more mass appealing. This is true, it smells good but not for me. I believe other Parfums De Marly scents are a better option especially for the price of a full bottle. A co-worker said it smells like Axe Phoenix but without the aerosol smell. So, i must agree, it smells like the cologne version of that Axe scent. Once i smelled it i knew it was familiar and after he said that i can agree. Not a fan of Axe by any means, im not in middle school so this is a pass for me. If you are younger less than 23 than its a good scent but for a grown man 25+ i would recommend looking at the other fragrances from this house. Overall, good scent,clean,safe but more for the youth.
Its not a Parfume as expected, it smells good but doesn't last or has a scent trail.
Nice cologne similar to Fierce a very pleasant scent that will draw you compliments.
It's a good one
Perfume maravilhoso. Obrigado SCENTBOX, pelo carinho e cuidado com as embalagens e o atendimento.
Smells good
Very fresh and woody circa the 1990's. Overall very good but the sillage and longevity were lacking on me.
Really pleasant scent. I enjoyed it a lot, from initial spray to the dry down. but not the longevity I was expecting, My wife wasn't too impressed. I dug the fragrance.
