What it actually smells like

Perseus starts with a sharp, juicy grapefruit note alongside bright bergamot, giving the opening a crisp citrus freshness. Geranium moves forward through the heart with blackcurrant bud adding a green, slightly tart edge. As it settles, vetiver brings a dry, earthy woodiness while amberwood and grey amber smooth out the base, leaving the fragrance fresh and polished rather than heavy.

Who this is for

Ideal if you enjoy crisp citrus fragrances with a dry, woody finish. Perseus suits those drawn to grapefruit, aromatic greens and vetiver, particularly when you want something fresh and polished for the office or warmer weather.

Not for you if

You prefer sweet, warm fragrances or find sharp grapefruit and dry vetiver too crisp.
