PERSEUS from PARFUMS DE MARLY - SUMMER 2024 MUST-HAVE

Perseus has been a very controversial launch so far - some praise it and others find it too simple in contrast with the loud release of the last year - Althair.

To my own surprise, I stand in support of Perseus and believe that it’s a perfect brother for the famous and loved Percival, Layton and Galloway. Yes, Perseus might be built around an extremely recognizable ‘vetiver + grapefruit’ profile, but it’s exactly what the current Parfums de Marly collection of ‘freshies’ is missing - juicy and vibrant citrus with some rough dry woods.

Perseus perfectly continues the ‘unisex’ storyline started by Althair, and it’s likely one of the most versatile fragrances of the brand. One perfect bottle to share with your significant other during the upcoming spring/summer vacation. One easy, wearable and fresh luxury fragrance.
