About Percival Royal Essence

Percival Royal Essence by Parfums De Marly is a contemporary masterpiece that effortlessly captures the spirit of the brand's 18th-century equestrian heritage. As a member of the respected Royal Essence Collection, this fragrance serves as a representation of the artistry involved in its creation and the involvement of a power source. It is unisex, made for both men and women and therefore, Percival embodies a universality that is rich in dynamic energy and is equally smart, attractive to the modern aficionado, who respects the fusion of tradition and innovation.

Fragrance Family:

Aromatic Fougere

Scent Type:

Fresh, Citrus, Spicy

Notes:

Percival opens with an invigorating blend of bergamot and mandarin, offering a crisp, refreshing burst of citrus that captures your senses. The development is representative of main chords of lavender, geranium, and other spices that layer the aural spectrum with a complex warmth that makes it cozy. The wine, derived from cedar, tonka, and musk beans, is so rich that it makes your breath more attractive and extends the time of satisfaction.

Suggested Use

For a fragrance that stays with you all day, apply it to pulse points such as the wrists, behind the ears, and the base of the neck. The body's warmth helps to amplify the aromatic qualities, ensuring a long-lasting scent experience. Perfect for any setting—whether a formal event or casual outing—Percival Royal Essence complements every moment with its dynamic and universally appealing character.

Hey, everyone. Nicole here. And today I'll be reviewing Percival, a scent in Parfums de Marly's Royal Essence collection. This scent launched in 2018 and is best described as unisex, aromatic, and a fresh sort of spicy. Hedione and ambroxan dominate the scent, supported by a strong top note of lavender and notes of bergamot, mandarin, geranium, jasmine, coriander, violet, cinnamon, clearwood, amberwood, balsam fir, and musk. I recommend it for spring, summer, or fall day wear. And I love its longevity. Well, that's all for today. I hope you enjoyed this review.

FAQ for Percival Royal Essence

What does Percival Royal Essence by Parfums De Marly smell like?

Percival Royal Essence by Parfums De Marly offers a fresh yet sophisticated scent profile. This perfume is a fresh, citrusy fragrance that starts with brilliant notes such as bergamot and mandarin and continues in a heart of aromatic notes of lavender, geranium, and coriander. Finally, it is finished with a warm base of musk, woody notes, and precious ambroxan, thus leaving behind the impression of elegance and depth. Its combination of fresh and intense elements is the main reason for its immediate classic status in any collection.

Why are Parfums De Marly fragrances, including Percival, so expensive?

Parfums De Marly fragrances are considered luxury products due to their use of high-quality ingredients and complex compositions crafted by expert perfumers. Just like any other perfume from the brand, Percival is made with the intention to conjure up the luxury and aura of the 18th century French royal court, which is the historical and exclusive aspect of its attraction. Strong investment in the artistic design of the packaging and attention to details in the technology of marketing are parts of the picture explaining the overprice of the Parfums De Marly fragances.

What kind of scent is Percival Royal Essence?

Percival Royal Essence is a versatile unisex fragrance falling into the aromatic fougère family. This particular scent profile is fresh as well as sophisticated. Thus, it is suitable for both men and women who are fond of luxury and high-quality perfumes. The fragrance comes as an Eau de Parfum, which indicates that it comprises a higher concentration of fragrance oils, thus, adding richness and depth to it.

When is the best time to wear Percival?

Percival is versatile and can be worn year-round, but it particularly shines during spring and summer due to its fresh and crisp aromatic notes. The pure and refined scent makes it suitable for many occasions, including the day time and the evening, starting from the business environment to the social interaction or the romantic time.

Is Percival long-lasting?

Yes, Percival Royal Essence is renowned for its longevity. That is why one can easily wear the Percival Royal Essence firmly in the profile that says it is a Parisian erotic fragrance.

Can Percival be worn by both men and women?

Yes, although some fragrances lean towards specific genders, Percival Royal Essence is truly unisex, crafted to be enjoyed by both men and women. The artful blend of citrusy and woody accents makes it appealing to various preferences, so it should be a key element in any perfume collection.

Where do you apply Percival Royal Essence?

To experience the full effect of Percival, apply it to pulse points where the body emits the most heat.

To have the scent last even longer, you can also spray a little on your clothes or hair.

One of PDM's Top People Pleasers

This is a fantastic everyday signature scent for year around. Probably best in spring summer & fall months. Would do okay in winter. If you work in an indoor/office environment, then seasons do not a apply, this can definitely be worn year round regardless. I would be surprised to hear anyone

say they straight up don't like it. A very refreshing slightly wood aromatic with a touch of spice, floral and a tiny bit powdery. I know several guys who are not fans of powdery scents that like this. If you are looking to dabble into niche fragrances, this would be a fantastic place to start. Layton by PDM is in my top 5 all time scents, but I would say Percival is a little less loud in the beginning and less sweet that Layton. Very good safe office/signature niche fragrance. Chances are you will love everything by this house.

I probably would buy this again

The fragrance lasts about 30 to 45 minutes on skin or clothes also the bottle I received smelled like pure alcohol. I don't know if it's just the discount stores or the fragrance house in general but I really love this scent and wish the one I got lived up to the reviews I seen on YouTube
...
definitely not even close to a 6 or even 3 hour scent. The projection is almost immediately a intimate scent after spray.

Great fragrance, and blind buy safe!

Great fragrance, similar to Fierce or MB Legend, but slightly more mature and longer lasting, very blind buy safe and huge crowd pleaser.

I love this scent!!

I love this scent and so does my wife!! I use this as primarily an evening scent or go out on the town, however I feel that it can be worn anytime and is definitely a signature scent. It projects well and will fill the room if you us more than a few spritz's. I have order twice now from this company and both items I received were very well packaged and arrived in a timely manner. The prices I have seen have not been the cheapest but they are competitive. Also the products are the genuine article, and I feel the pricing is worth the peace of mind in knowing I'm getting what I paid for.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Be aware that the atomizer seal seems to leak "sweat" if not handled careful. I like this Fragance. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IT because I want it for myself exclusively.

Simplicity at its best!

The comparisons to Fierce & Legend by Montblanc are reasonable. However, this scent is noticeably better. The notes are more pronounced, less synthetic and land gently on your nose instead of punching it. Can be worn anywhere anytime.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Underrated

This is an underrated scent. If you try to read fragrantica or watch YouTube reviews, too many people say this smells like Abercrombie and Fitch Fierce.... which it kind of does. The only difference is some people knock it because of that. I personally think that's a good thing. It smells quite similar to Fierce but it smells like the grown up, more natural, and sophisticated version. The lavender really shines here, and in my opinion, this one can be worn dressed up, dressed down, or any season of the year.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

This is a nice soapy clean freshie

percival a great safe everyday go to. Clean fresh and easy to wear. It's your basic freshie the price is a little much for what it is but it last all day and isn't overpowering like Dior sauvage. This is a safe niche first but if your adventuring into the niche fragrances.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

For the Powerful and successful man

Smells great. Very fresh,versatile, and masculine. Everything you want in a signature scent, can be worn all year round, gets tons of compliments, can be dressed down and dressed up, the performance is also amazing, lasts around 10 hours on my skin, this is the type of scent you can smell on clothes days later. A luxurious and very well blended scent, it smells of quality, a must buy in my opinion and worth every penny.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Fresh and familiar

This was the first PDM I purchased after receiving the discovery set. I found the citrusy scent familiar to other fragrances, but there was also something unique with the dry down. Maybe it's the musk, but for me I liked it. My girlfriend kept complimenting me without knowing what it was. Yes it's expensive, yes it's familiar, but I'm at a point where I want to wear a fragrance because I like it, not because it's original, or value priced. I always recommend trying a sample of any fragrance before buying, but I'm happy with my purchase.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

an upgrade to your mont blanc legend and abercrombie

good for the spring and summer but can be used whoever tbh. pricey but if you like the abercrombie smell but an upgraded version, this is it. better quality but you have to pay a premium, not worth the extra cash tbh but again does the job

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

A "niche" version of a "blue" scent

A nice easy, citrus-aquatic scent that's very pleasing. Great for spring and summer although this won't project strongly from the skin. Great for most occasions/situations. Similar to many "blue" designer fragrances, but maybe a step up due to quality/longevity. Worth the price tag? That's for the individual to decide.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Stunning Fresh Fragrance for Formal Occasions!

It has a stunning fresh scent that has some darkness to it in the background, which makes it very deep, complex, and sexy. Ideal for formal occasions! The bottle also has a very luscious shade of blue, which is a great bonus!

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Real Gooood!!

I can't believe I'm the first to review Percival! Well Percival is a super nice smelling fragrance that reminds me of Mont Blanc Legend Intense. The difference is that Percival has more depth, and is more fruity, and of course is of better quality. It doesn't last as long as Layton, but is good enough. This one will get you plenty of compliments. Guys get two 4.2oz bottles. Skip a car payment. Tell the bank you lost their statement lol!😁 This one is good for the spring and summer, and perhaps early fall.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.
