A polished citrus aromatic built for modern elegance, Percival opens with sunlit bergamot and mandarin brightened by a gentle sparkle of pink pepper and an airy aquatic lift, then eases into an aromatic heart of lavender and geranium touched by soft florals. Its trail is clean and confident, blending balsam fir, nuanced woody tones, musk and contemporary amber woods for a fresh signature that feels effortlessly refined on skin.

Story & Positioning
Named in the spirit of the Maison’s equestrian lore, Percival captures the crisp side of Parfums de Marly with luminous citrus, aromatic lavender, and a smooth woody musk base for year-round versatility. It sits in the modern, fresh aromatic space alongside designer blue styles, often compared to refined takes on crowd pleasing signatures such as Abercrombie Fitch Fierce and Montblanc Legend, while offering the richer materials and finishing associated with the house. Within the brand, it stands as a go-to fresh counterpart to deeper signatures, positioned among the Iconics as an easy wear that still feels luxurious.
Bottle & Design
The bottle presents a deep ocean blue lacquer with a sleek profile, a weighty feel in the hand, and the Maison’s embossed twin horses and shield emblem at center, finished with a polished cap for a crisp, contemporary look that mirrors the scent’s clarity.
