Coriander and lavender together create an herbal-fresh accord that differs from either alone: Parfums de Marly's Percival EDP opens on mandarin, bergamot, and lavender before geranium and coriander settle over amberwood, tonka, and musk, for men.
Percival EDP is a clean aromatic structured around a citrus-herbal opening. Mandarin provides sweet citrus warmth; bergamot adds aromatic brightness; lavender introduces the herbal-aromatic quality that defines the fougere tradition. Geranium adds a green, slightly rosy character to the heart; coriander contributes fresh, slightly citrusy spice that is distinct from both the citrus opening and the herbal lavender.
Amberwood in the base provides warm, resinous woody support; tonka bean adds almond-vanilla sweetness; musk extends the close-skin projection. The composition reads as a refined, modern aromatic suited to daywear with a clean, lasting drydown. Six to eight hours on skin.
Percival EDP suits spring through autumn from daytime through early evening. The lavender and tonka accord reads well in moderate temperatures. A fragrance suited to casual and professional occasions.
