About

Percival opens with a burst of zesty bergamot and juicy mandarin, quickly joined by cool lavender and spicy pink pepper. The heart is an airy blend of hedione, violet, and jasmine, lending a subtle floral dimension atop a base of musky amberwood and ambroxan. Balsam fir and tonka bean add smoothness, while the overall impression is bright, clean, and quietly powerful. Versatile and refined, Percival is a crisp, contemporary take on citrus-aromatic freshness, evolving into a soft, woody-musk trail.
