Which Should You Buy?
Perseus is a divisive beast: some rave about its 'nuclear' fresh longevity and bright, modern citrus; others dismiss it as a sour, overpriced clone of Terre d'Hermes. Either way, it's a bold take on a classic profile, so don't blind buy.
This is a mass-appealing, salty-sweet blue fragrance that's a decent pick for its price, though it won't set the world alight. It's an easy-wear with some surprising longevity for a Hollister, perfect for those wanting something fresh and crowd-pleasing without breaking the bank.
