What it actually smells like

Percival starts with bright bergamot and mandarin, sharpened slightly by pink peppercorn. Lavender becomes clearer through the heart, with iris adding smoothness and cardamom giving the aromatic freshness a warmer edge. As it settles, tonka bean softens the composition while fir balsam, ambrox and white musks create a clean, warm base that keeps the fragrance feeling fresh but substantial.

Who this is for

Ideal if you enjoy fresh masculine fragrances but want enough depth and presence for one to work as a signature scent. Percival suits those drawn to bright citrus, aromatic lavender and a clean, warm dry down rather than something purely light or fleeting.

Not for you if

You prefer subtle, close-wearing fragrances or dislike prominent aromatic lavender and ambrox.
