Parfums de Marly Perseus is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Nathalie Templer. Perseus opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Mandarin, Vetiver, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Woody, Cedar, and Tonka Bean. Parfums de Marly's Perseus carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.

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.

About

Perseus bursts open with a vibrant, zesty hit of grapefruit and blackcurrant, sharp and almost tactile. This invigorating citrus gradually mellows into a sophisticated heart of aromatic vetiver and green mandarin, underscored by geranium. The dry down introduces a rich, earthy woodiness with cashmere wood and fir resin, grounded by ambergris and a hint of tonka, offering a surprisingly long-lasting fresh scent with a warm, clean finish.
