The top notes arrive as a brilliant cascade of lavender, mandarin orange, and bergamot—brightened by geranium's peppery green whisper. This opening is radiant and poised, commanding attention without demanding it. The composition feels fresh, clean, and immediately sophisticated, setting a confident tone that feels effortless.
As the fragrance settles, hedione and violet create a luminous floral heart, joined by coriander's subtle spice and the delicate warmth of jasmine and cinnamon. This middle phase is where the fragrance reveals its subtly magnetic character—poised yet approachable, adding dimension and depth without overwhelming the senses. The spiced florals weave seamlessly with the aromatic spine, creating a harmonious accord.
The base unfolds with amberwood, ambroxan, and balsam fir, grounded by tonka bean's creamy sweetness and clearwood's clean, measured woody signature. An intimate skin-close trail projects beautifully for 6–8 hours, making Percival equally wearable year-round, though it shines brightest in warm conditions. Noticeable sillage ensures your presence is felt without pretense.
Percival delivers 6–8 hours of noticeable projection on skin, making it perfect for layering with our Body Oil to extend wear throughout the day. Apply to pulse points for optimal diffusion. This versatile fragrance shines in cooler seasons and transitional weather. HumanSafe™ Verified · IFRA Compliant · 100% Vegan & Cruelty-Free.
